The Right Stuff

Some of these Moon Denialists might be simple self-promoters and trolls. But as I read the articles posted on Vox Populi and on Unz; it might just be that the Moon Landings are an embarrassment.

The Landings embarrass a central thesis. Their thesis is that the European and American governmental (multipartisan) and cultural consensus over the 1960s, arguably from the 1940s and perhaps even from the 1860s has turned The West, sour.

And for some who/whoms, this Neo Liberal Consensus has done just that. But, also, it landed men on the Moon.

History is the story of man, and men are messy. It can happen that men do evil: we sin, and we make mistakes, and - most inexcusably - we lie. We do these bad things quite often. But sometimes we do great things. Sometimes, in the same week: we do some bad stuff at home, and The Right Stuff in the heavens.

Let us not lie. Let us not be Moon Denialists.
