Did we or did we not?

For those of you who haven't been lucky enough to have this conversation with Bill, he very strongly beleives that we did NOT land on the moon. Now as most of you know, he is not a conspiracy theorist, and he loves the USA, but he does have some very good points... I would explain his reasoning but neither of us have that kind of time but if you are interested, just ask him...
However, no matter which camp you are in on this discussion, you can't help but laugh at the irony of the following article... I mean I'm not smart enough to work at NASA, and I would like to beleive that we did land on the moon, but I wasn't born yesterday and the whole idea they erased all the tapes is crazy and my favorite part, "to re-use the tapes to save money"
Really, tapes that were created in 1969, I'm thinking we might not have the equipment or the desire to "re-use" those tapes to save money at NASA of all places...
either way I think I'm going to buy the book referenced in this article, written by NASA employees...
If you are interested in part of Bill's reasoning - here is a top 10 list that includes some but not all of the arguments you will hear if you ask his opinion on this matter...
