    Seriously there is no way we ever landed on the Moon - think about it, it was back in the 60's when we supposedly landed on the Moon and yet despite all the technological advances over the past 40 years we have never returned?? Why?? Because we never landed there in the first place and still dont know how. I see Russia are planning on their first landing around 2025.

    All these photos of people bouncing up and down on the Moon are laughable and what is more laughable are the people that actually believe it.

    No real reason to go back, other than to establish a permanent moonbase, which is still a good way off.The moon is not that interesting, being just a dead rock. Space stations etc. offer far more insights and require a lot more resources.

    The most telling thing is that those men who "landed" on the moon are all social recluses now.

    Not sure if "we" landed on the moon but clearly you never left it.

    I wonder how many of those who answer no actually have any scientific credentials.

    Are you kidding me? There are currently dozens of private companies scrambling to get back up there. Check out the Google X Prize for examples.

    The reason they are in such a hurry is that the moon is abundant with Helium 3. H3 is worth over 100 times more than the same weight of gold, costs about $1.5m a kilo and there are over 5m metric tons of it just lying beneath the surface fo the moon. That's potentially trillions in profits for the first company that can manage to mine it and bring it home.

    The UK reckons they can power the whole country for a year with only 6 tons of H3, China reckons 3 shuttle loads will see them good for a year.
    Basically the solution to the energy crisis does not lie in all this fuddy duddy about wave and wind power, nuclear fusion is the only game in town and H3 is the driver of that.

    Check out an excellent documentary called 'Moon for Sale' by BBC's Horizon. Some it it might be still on YouTube.

    I can't imagine everyone who answered "yes" is a rocket scientist either.......


    Do you believe it because you saw it on TV?! Do you believe that Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck ACTUALLY went into space to film "Armageddon"?

    Nice try though, you have no better argument other than to question his intelligence and that of those who said no. It's a perfectly reasonable and feasable scenario. Just because "TV said so" doesn't always make it fact.
