Can't work out if it's a sea eagle or golden eagle. Think it's just a gle.

Is Gaz on Australia then? Would you be in or on Greenland? Should I gieda? Australia and Greenland are islands, yes - they are also countries. You are IN a country, but you are ON an island. Mull is an island, but not a country....ergo, you are ON Mull, not IN it. Ya two bob rocket. The same way that Armstrong and Aldrin were ON the Moon, not IN it.

Yes, they were and ten others followed them.

Without a doubt they were...and most certainly they did.
There would have been twelve others who followed but two of them didn't make it because their spaceship threw a wobbler. They made a movie about THAT one! Maybe you've seen it. Tom Hanks was in it.

They weren't. And they they didn't. No surprise the "spaceship" that "threw a wobbler" was number 13, eh?.....what a cliché. 13 is just a number, it follows 12. What were they supposed to do, call it Apollo 12a ?

13 is just a number, it follows 12. What were they supposed to do, call it Apollo 12a ? Triskaidekaphobia, old bean. Playing on age old fear. Most of us sensible folk knew they were going to fabricate some "disaster". Sure enough, they did. By then, most Americans were bored and uninterested with the "moon" pish....this got the ratings back up again. Apollo 13 launched in April of 1970. I'm going to take a guess and say you were 10 maybe 12 years of age at that time. Yet you had already formed the idea that NASA was faking everything and that there was going to be a fabricated disaster. Sorry m8, I'm not buying it.

Sorry 4th Chord, for hi-jacking your thread.
For what it's worth, it's a shite hawk.

How did they know, back in 1970, the moon had some (limited) gravity? - How did they measure it, to prepare their flight plans - and moonwalks - back in 1970? Did Silicon chips exist in 1970? C++ came about 9 years later? www.cplusplus.com/info/history/

I wonder if GitHub was around in 1969. Interesting name!

Don't be cheeky. That's the source code hosted for the Apollo missions nav systems.
