“Clearly Suspect And Not Believable”

Neil Armstrong on the moon, July 20th, 1969.

Correspondence published recently in the book ‘A reluctant Icon: Letters To Neil Armstrong’, to wit:  a letter to the first human to set foot on the Moon from a teacher (just let that sink in for a moment) followed by Armstrong’s reply.

      Yeah, even some astronauts are conspiracy theorists.

      Like Neil Armstrong – in 1994.

      “Today we have with us a group of students, among America’s best. To you we say we have only completed a beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of the truth’s protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief. Those challenges are yours–in many fields, not the least of which is space, because there lies human destiny.”

    “…from a teacher (just let that sink in for a moment)”.

    – odd take; this is the only conspiracy theory that BS does subscribe to…

    Help me here.
    A letter from [Name withheld] (a teacher) to Armstrong.
    A reply from Armstrong to Whitman (a teacher).

    What am I missing here?

    … after a lot initial skepticism Space Force is actually a bit hit here,I really enjoy the whole NASA/Space thing.
    Say what you like,Trump is a showman,his backdrop of the recent launch,whether you like it or not, was quite well done, really went down well here.

    They might have put a man, or a dog, on the moon.. but .. no one or anything has ever got back off the mom after landing.. ever .. and that is a fact.
