Great that we're going back to the moon. Maybe someone can retrieve the ball from Ulloa's penalty.

Ha! Good bit of trivia there! I do remember a comedian doing a routine in the 1970s where he riffed on inventions and where they'd come from, and the last bit was something like "... and all that money they spent on the Apollo programme and what did mankind get out of it? Non-stick frying pans!"

I bow down to your superior Trekkie knowledge. I feel a bit silly now
No you feel like you're not a nerd!
They would have but those pesky Japs ruined that when they sent an unmanned probe up there and came back with pictures of the Apollo 12 landing site debris field and the part of the LEM that stayed there!!!
The bigger purpose should, imo, be as part of a longer-term plan to send humans to Mars.
If you're stupid/gullible enough to believe the moon landings were faked (six times) then it's only a 'small step for a moron' (to coin a phrase) to believe that was faked as well. Indeed isn't there now an entire 'space is fake' theory? Takes it to a logical conclusion.
Cheese mining?
Well this guy has conclusively proved that the Earth is flat.

Before they were wiped out in 1981 by mutants from the Planet McEnroe.

Borg was Borg before his time.
For the record I don’t believe the moon landings were fake, I was being sarcastic. [emoji106]

But NASA left Matt Damon behind last time they went, so I am not sure that they can be trusted.
Indeed sir, I never thought for a moment that you did. I perhaps should have said "if one is stupid/gullible enough" rather than you thinking the comment was aimed at 'you' specifically.
It certainly would be nice to "actually" get there considering all the others were faked.
And certainly not #hatstand, just a firm believer that the landings were filmed on Earth.
It could be that the Americans are using it as a stepping stone for their Mars programme. This book The Value Of The Moon by Paul D. Spudis shows how he (a NASA scientist) believes that the poles of the moon are likely to have water and this resource should be used as part of the programme to colonise the moon, on the way to Mars.
Yep, indeed.

She was a human turned Borg. However, the doctor removed loads of her cybernetic components iirc.
