After the abrupt end, all the work product of the Apollo program was destroyed. Much of the photo and video has been 'lost' or 'reconstructed' by Pixar. The feat of sending people to the moon was never repeated.

If I was a skeptic, I'd say the entire program was fake, and the movie 'Capricorn One' was a bold whistle-blowing effort. In fact, I am a skeptic.

But I do enjoy the space theme of this community.

And welcome, from the nut gallery I am representing today, apparently.

Hello World โ€” Well here goes, my very first post in geminispace. As a kid I was enthralled with the early space program, growing up my dreamt of suborbital hops in my X15 and circumnavigating the globe all alone in my Mercury capsule. Somehow Gemini is the program that seems to get lost between Mercury and Apollo, which is a shame because it accomplished so much.
