I can't even get a telephone signal to Laos half the time, across the river, in 2016, despite a 200-foot high tower, in plain sight, on the other side of the river.<br />But in 1969, they had the technology to haul all that communications equipment up to the moon, 237,000 miles away, in that little "lunar lander". Battery powered, besides, signal strong enough to reach the White House and be broadcast live on US TV.<br />And idiots and shills still believe this and keep on "reporting" it as "real news". lolol<br />http://www.history.com/s3static/video-thumbnails/AETN-History_Prod/84/524/History_Speeches_1068_Nixon_Calls_Apollo_11_Astronauts_SF_still_624x352.jpgLEWagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438484007896207869noreply@blogger.com
