I did tell you what I think he was saying. There are many things to be discovered in mankind's quest to move forward. Those things are hard to learn but with hard work important breakthroughs are made. Those breakthroughs will take mankind toward its destiny.

It was Neil Armstrong that made this statement, no one else.
"There are great ideas undiscovered. Breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth's protective layers."
Why can't you just offer your opinion courteously on what the protective layers of truth he is talking about are, and why one of them should be removed. I'm sure we can discuss this without the insults.

To summarize, Apollo could have launched to the moon without anybody onboard.
Exactly what were the astronauts used for?
Planting flags? They certainly didn't seem necessary.
So there very well could have been a space craft called Apollo sent to the moon.
Several times, just like the Surveyors. And just like the Surveyors, as non-manned missions.
Where is the proof that men actually went?

The "proof" is the launch of Apollo 12.
During launch the Saturn V was hit by lightning, twice, causing a massive power surge. There were multiple faults showing on the board, and telemetry was down, keeping MC in the dark as to what was happening. It was then that Alan Bean recalled the now-famous "Set SCE to Aux". He hit the switch and saved the mission.
Now how did they know the craft was going to be struck by lightning. and manage to fake all the problems that happened after that?
At mission control, John Aaron, a bright young flight controller in charge of the electrical system, had no telemetry data on his screen.Aaron had seen this problem before during simulator runs a year before and knew how to fix it. Confidently he said, "Flight, try SCE (Signal Condition Equipment) to Aux."
This command was so obscure that neither the flight director, Capcom nor Pete Conrad knew what it meant. It was Alan Bean that knew where to find the switch and moments later, telemetry was back.

Hi, I'm still having some niggling questions about the Apollo 11 astronauts demeanor post splashdown.
Apart from the 2 videos I posted a page earlier, this is a photo taken during their debrief whilst still in isolation after splashdown.

Being the consummate professionals they are, I find it unlikely they would not realize a camera was taking their picture. I also find it unlikely they wouldn't offer up even the slightest of disingenuous smiles.
These don't look like men that just completed Kennedy's objective..
It looks like they are being held to gage their state of mind.
"Will they crack, will they be able to pull off the scam?"
And who just got done spending 8 days pooping in a top hat and having to squish it up with their hands.

To me, it looks like three men who have been cooped up together for two weeks and who know for a fact that they can get laid by any woman on Earth but Daddy NASA won't let them out.

Because, as I covered this before, this was a clear sign of a simulation being run as the real thing.
