He was at home alone, drunk....and watching the moon landing. His wife had just left him. Just dis-appeared. Not even as much as a note. He sits in his recliner drinking Jack and Cokes....chain smoking Marlboro's....and watching the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on man as it plays itself out on the TV. The moon landing.......

"That's one small leap for man. One GIANT leap for man-kind...." comes the saticky voice of astronaught Neil Armstrong over the TV set. Later....the astronaughts play a few rounds of golf. He sits there staring at the black and white footage on TV. Walter Cronkite is narrating. He might as well have been reading "Alice In Wonderland"...for all he cared. He walks over and turns off the TV. The screen goes blank except for a tiny spot of light in the middle. A few seconds later....it dis-appears too.......

For those who care.

wow,,MAN,,,Its really Cool to see someone else besides me who really FEELS this lie...AND,,,Russia KNEW our lie,,so THEY,,,done it to.
or it would have been revealed to everyone..Because I was watching THIS as it happened,,and IF ANYONE ELSE also watched it on their THEN,,Black and white weak TV's,,They TO,,would have seen the fake staged set where they JUMPED to when reception was lost,,and YOU could not tell the difference,,AT ALL,,,See they created a set in case the signal was missing,,OK,,COOL,,,BUT,,,there is no-way,,,,NONE at all,,that THEY would have gave them the ability to have its suffice down to PERFECT for how it really was,,,,BUT,,,IT WAS MINT,,PERFECT to what the astronauts showed as REAL...and,,ON THAT SAME SHOWING,,as they placed the American Flag in the moon,,IT WAS BLOWING!
gently,,,but,,THERE is no wind on the moons suffice as they KNOW THAT NOW,,,Just propaganda to KEEP space explorations alive and well,,as AT THAT TIME,,NASA was under the ax to be canceled and the program was out of funds....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....so,,
WE LANDED ON THE MOON,,in Black and White TV land in the year 1969.
AND had really CLEAR and GREAT FOOTAGE to show us LIVE on our TV screens,,WITH GREAT SOUND,,,,,yet,,,EVEN NOW,,we don't have as Clear and good receptions as we did THEN?
and to go on,,,lol about a year ago,,coincidently,,,ALL THE FIRST FILMS OF THAT LANDING CAME UP MISSING FROM OUR FILES AND VAULTS?,,,,Right...and it REALLY HAPPENED THEN,,,,WE WERE ALL PLAYED.

Just like that one magic bullet that killed john F. Kennedy,,,Bull Shhhhhhh.yet we stay calm and in total belief that it was done in that manner,,,,,makes me ill,,that LIES were fed and STILL get fed to us for whatever venture THEY WANT TO HAVE,,,
Look at WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION,,,,,,PLEASE!!!!!!

Terry.....yr so funny.

O.K. Now....ME personally,.....I don't know what I think about the moon landing being a hoax or not. This story isn't really about ME, see? I wasn't even born yet. It's about HIM. Now....it is important for HIM to believe that the moon landing IS a hoax....cuz' it's a metaphor for love, see? The love he had that just left him. That's what this story is about...... He doesn't believe in love....or anything else for that matter...... Or actually....it is important for him to believe that love doesn't exist in order to not feel the pain of knowing he just lost his......

I KNEW THAT!

















NOT..
OK,,fine,,now I feel like a dip slick,,,lol
I read it LIKE THAT when I was reading and felt the disillusion in his mind,,still,,I,,,,lol
I caught that in it,,where it could have been meant that,,but was air-headed and wanting to vent all THIS,,,so we BOTH done well,,,lol
yet,,,I do feel,,,more Than YOU should here,,, hey,,,I'm SLOW damn it.....

Don't worry. Nobody understands a damn thing I say anyway!!!!

props for the dose of reality.

Thank you!

That is my birthday. I was 3 years old. I still remember watching it on tv.....

Really? How cool. Like I said earlier....I wasn't born yet. Just seemed like a good backdrop for some poor dudes personal drama......

So basically you are calling me an old fart.......

(laugh) No.....not really. I mean....my parents had 16 mm film of the moon landing. They just filmed the TV. It looked horrible.....but I'll never forget seeing it. I have NO idea why I chose the moon landing as the backdrop to this story really. I just liked the idea of old tube TV's....and how when you turned em' off....that dot of light appears....and then later dis-appears. I liked that visual.......

Nice write.....
I kind of think the moon landing may have been a hoax.
Operation paperclip paved the way for many NASA scientist.
