I guess I will put my two cents into the hoax thing. I am 54 years old and I actually worked on the end of the Gemini program and on the Apollo program until 1969 shortly after the first moon landing. If there was a hoax then someone kept it a secret from those of us that ACTUALLY did the design and fabrication of all that FAKE hardware. It was my pleasure to actually meet a number of the Astronauts personally and they sure did think they had been in space. The person that pointed out how difficult it would be to keep something like that a secret is right on the money. There were near to 100,000 people involved if not over that number counting the subcontractors and people in other friendly countries that helped monitor the space flights and moon landings. I was a the Georgia Nuclear Laboratory in Dawsonville, GA during the Apollo project and we developed special Nuclear based measuring equipment for NASA. There was no major radiation exposure to the Astronauts Randy -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
