Re: Men (or Women) on Mars

I always wondered why many people propose that the first moon landing was a hoax; but I haven't heard of too many questioning the subsequent landings Think we should remember that in '69 the technology they used was state of the art (don't like that phrase, but it works in shortish post) .... I was around for the landing. Reading about it in the media in the days leading up to the event, it seemed obvious to me that the technology was more than adequate to do the job. No one thought the gear they used was clunky or inadequate. Perhaps we can deny that Irish monks crossed the Atlantic in crude leather boats ... or that the Vikings did it ... or that the Kon Tiki actually did what it did .... or, even Columbus, did it with the crude technology of the late fifteenth century ... getting to the moon, like all the other great exploratory adventures was not only a technological endeavour, but also a human one.
