Earlier in this thread, someone (I think it was Rehab) posted a link.
After the main story, there was a "Comments" section which included this gem ....
" I will have my morning cup of coffee, and pop out to the garden and make sure all the garden gnomes have come home this morning. "
Yep, you are correct. ....even though my reply was very similar.
*Yes, it puzzles me why some otherwise-intelligent people are so keen to "prove" it didn't really happen.If it was a hoax, there were thousands of ordinary, everyday people who were quite happy to be in on it. All the personnel at NASA, plus the entire crew of the USS Hornet, plus all the tech personnel manning the monitors, plus our mob down at the Parke's Observatory, et al...As far as I know, not one of those people has ever fronted up to "expose" it as a hoax. If it had been, they've had lots of time to get it off their chests.
