Are we proving once again that men landed on the Moon or just circling the matching craters for fun? :)
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

It's only fun for those that know how.

I recently watched a documentary titled "In the Shadow of the Moon". It chronicles the US space program and our efforts to reach the moon. Neil Armstrong took the lunar lander down to less than 30 seconds of fuel before they touched down. This video was shown. Watch it if you get a chance. What a great documentary.

That's because it's only a V2. It's missing 6 of it's V's.
