    It may be the drink talking but how the fook did we manage to put a mere ordinary man on the moon.The technology and physics etc is just mindblowing to me.
    Just makes you feel good to be honest and believe you can do and achieve anything and nothing is impossible.

    And why hasn't it been done again eh? They just keep sending all these "unmanned" satellites up there to spy on us. The mind boggles.

    It's crazy expensive to do and after apollo 11 nobody really gave a shít about the moon landings.

    It's a shame we don't spend more on space exploration considering it's necessary for the survival of the human race after all.

    The moon doesn't even exist. It's just a big light shining up in the sky, done to comfort us.. like a nightlight for humans.

    Well ever since oil was found of Cork, the Americans will eventually own our arse. We might as well play along.

    Only because we havn't spent enough on exploring how to look after the planet we're already on! more of an immediate necessity I reckon.

    Ray Mears was on the moon once. Well, when I say he was on the moon, he stayed at a hotel near the moon.

    Is it true that the computer they used to go to the moon was something like a 64 GB type thing? If that's true, that's pretty nuts.

    That man with a pullover, a tooth brush and a loose button could kill a bear, skin him, start a fire, cook him, and build a 4 bedroom house with an en-suite.

    All while being polite and modest.

    Fuck Bear Grylls!!!

    Lunar eclipse means they're changing the bulb.

    But Ray Mears can bore you to death!

    Bear Grylls is a lot more exciting when he runs around jumping over rocks and sliding down dunes!

    Ah now Ray is the real deal to be fair, it's Bear "anyone seen my bottle of urine" Grylls that's the darling of B&Bs around the world. The world would be a better place with a bit more Ray Mears in it.
