How in the hell did we get there in 1969?
Where are the tapes?
Why can't we go back?
Seriously our tech is so amazing right now (mind blowing actually) and we still can't send a man into orbit

No. I know some old guys who worked on the LM for lockheed plus had two uncles intimately involved in the stuff. One worked at Nasa and the other at lockheed.
Its old school but it happened.
When i was in school they said that Apollo to the ancient greeks was a guy who rode his golden chariot across the sky. The poo pooed it by saying that was their way of describing the sun.
Keep in mind that these are the same greeks who invented geometry, democracy and all sorts of advanced stuff we still used today. So what I was basically taught was a professor at MIT could teach physics all day but go outside and not understand the sun. Pretty close analogy anyway. Thats what the man wants you to think.
What people teach you to deny stuff is a load of crap. People were vastly smarter in the past then they are today simply because they had to be. If you wanted to math something, you broke out a big book and a slide rule. You didnt rely on something to do it for you.
When you start dissecting what actually happen back in the day you really start to appreciate just how damn smart and inventive and daring those guys were.
In the words of han solo. Its true..all of it."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda
