I have had a rough life. I have been through a lot and I am ready to accept what has happened in the past. The idiots who called me names are gone. There is nothing I could gain from either yelling at them or beating the living day lights out of them. There were times that there were rumors that were spread about me like me being gay or not being able to get a girlfriend. Even though those rumors were false, I thought at the time everyone hated me and so I shut down emotionally. After that…

Ever since that day the people have doubted the fact that we ever put…

On July 20, 1969, NASA successfully sent three men, Neil Armstrong, “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins, to the Moon for its Apollo 11 mission, one of the many missions in the Apollo program. About seven years after the landings, in 1976, a man named Bill Kaysing released a book title We Never Went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, in which he claimed that the entire landing was simply a hoax. Since then, many people have read this book (or similar books) or heard about the…
