I am about to get rid of my car because I can't afford to keep replacing exhausts that get ripped off by speed bumps. I had to get rid of the last one for the same reason. I don't drive fast, but with some speed bumps even if you crawl over them it scrapes the exhaust. I really don't believe in Chelsea Tractors in towns for environmental reasons, but I am now at the point where I need a car that has good ground clearance and this does seem to point to off-roaders. I couldn't justify anything with a large engine that causes unnecessary pollution, so I would be grateful for all suggestions of vehicles fitting these criteria, so I know where to start looking. Incidentally, not having a car is not an option, neither is buying new! Thanks
With respect you don't sound like someone who is 50-50. More like 99-1. Anyway I could address each of the points listed individually but I see no point. I would really like to know why some people seem to be so hell bent on trying to 'prove' that the moon missions were in any way fake? It seems to me to be more politically motivated than anything else. Just like the theories about Area 51 and similar. Those of us who accept that the moon landings happened as described don't need any more proof. Those who don't well I guess they never will regardless of what evidence is put to them. Clearly those
1. Try it. Go out on dark, star-lit night, and take a flash picture of someone in front of you, while they're surrounded by stars. Odds are, you'll see your friend - but not the stars, as the light will adjust for contrast. Now, imagine being on the sun-lit surface of the moon, taking pics of a fellow astronaut in a white spacesuit. Do *you* think you'd see stars? 2. Well, we've retired the shuttle, and Orion isn't ready to go so, it's either go with the Russians, or don't. 3. Russian tried to get to the moon. Google the N-1 Rocket - it was *their* version of the Saturn 5. It was never successful - but had it been - they may have very well beat us to the moon. 4. On the ground. 5. NASA has never said there were aliens. And, it's the US Congress that controls the strings in NASA - we had hardware and equipment up through Apollo 20 - and Congress scrubbed the project after Apollo 17. NASA would love to go back. 6. Nature of the lunar dust - it's spiky, sharp; there was dust upon landing, and a depression where it had been blown out - but it doesn't dislodge like the smoothed-edge dust we have on Earth. 7. Do you mean, from the moon? There was a camera remotely operated on the lunar rover by a NASA tech - he had to time it perfectly - and, he *missed* with Apollo's 15 and 16 - but you can see the crew module of the LM ascend from the moon. pretty cool. 8. They found it after the A and B rocks. 9. Russia and America were both locked in a cold war whatever developments one side had, the other tried to obtain them as well. Russia beat us at a LOT of things - first craft in space, first animal, first man, first woman, etc Kennedy thought the only thing we *might* beat them at was a trip to the moon. It worked - but, it was a gamble. (the Apollo 1 fire almost ended things.) 10. I'll bet $500 you can't.

Every one of your questions has been explained scientifically in the past decades - there is no reason you couldn't do the research yourself. Funny that the only people that think the moon landings were not real are kids that missed out on the event - I guess its too much to accept that the world actually did something important before these kids were born. They feel bad they missed out on the single most important achievement of modern society so far, but rather than accept that they choose to look for ways to discredit it.
