Dont you think someone wouldve noticed if Buzz Aldrin had been away for at least 10 years?
Edit- Or maybe that was one year? Cant remember

I reckon that time Buzz punched that guy, it was not really him, it was his clone.
While the real buzz was having a rare old laugh on Mars with the rest of the total recall crew.

Well what about the Norway Spiral? I'm not up to speed on the event, but from what I understand the Russians claimed it was one of their rockets. But this was only days after they said it wasn't. If I'm not mistaken some still say it was something other than a rocket. So why is there a debate at all? If we can easily detect any rocket and track them all then we should have known the spiral was caused by a rocket from the word go.
I'm just not convinced that it's as easy to track this stuff as some would have us believe. The world is a big place. It's hard to imagine we could keep our eyes on every inch of it at all times. I of course could be wrong, and if you have any links to more specific information on the subject I'd love to read them.
using the infrasound component of the International Monitoring System (IMS) set up to verify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)....
The IMS infrasound network has been able to routinely detect rocket launches....
Infrasound stations are capable of detecting rocket launches hundreds to thousands of kilometers away. They are also relatively inexpensive when compared to satellite monitoring systems. Chaparral Model 2.5 Microbarometers, for example, cost only around US $4,000 each, much less than satellites and radars, which have price tags measured in millions of dollars and to which only a few states have access. Furthermore, satellites employing infrared detection technology and radars are not devoid of false alarms.
The task of reducing the background clutter in the detection of missile launches by the power spectral density signatures characteristic of their rocket plumes is alleviated, to some extent, by the systems disclosed in the following U.S. Patents, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference:
U.S. Pat. No. 4,081,679 entitled Dual Channel Correlation Radiometer by Cohn;
U.S. Pat. No. 5,805,106 entitled Dual Polarization Wave Clutter Reduction by Baum;

Then of course there is the space plane idea.
And for those that don't know, yes spce planes are very much possible and almost certainly in use.
You also have to ask yourself when this agreement between the Russians and the US was put in place? Was it before or after the Apollo missions? If after how long after? If Buzz went to Mars I would imagine it would have been in the early 70's
And lastly, maybe we launched from another country. People break treatys and other agreements all the time. If one of the two countrys could get away with something then they would. Remember the U2?

Mmmmm very interesting,
It's if he slipped it in on perposs and thought that no one noticed. And then decided to slip the word Mars in again. You know he is actully making a point in saying Mars and not the Moon. I dont think it was a mistake.

I would rather believe Einstein when he says that "Time Travel" isn't possible because "Faster than the Speed Of Light" travel is not possible. I do believe that Time and Space, could one day, be bent and manipulated to cover great distances with ease but, we are a long way off that ever becomming a reality in our time.
