The moon landings do nothing except irritate me intensely.
All that giant leap for mankind stuff. What giant leap? We are, and have been for centuries, crapping all over this beautiful planet and now we have started to do the same thing on the moon.
PF I do still feel the frisson of the moment but nowadays I would be far happier to see all of the vast amounts of money spent on space exploration, spent closer to home in sorting out all of the mess humans have made of this fragile planet. We are our own weapons of mass destruction - poisoning our own nest - and I dread to think of the future for my great nieces and nephews.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Morning everyone. Thank you LB, feeling much better, just rather tired.
I will apologise.........and I'll duck too..........it does nothing for me either........and I don't actually believe it happened, all a big hoax in my opinion. Sorry LB 😳 It's been lashing it down all night and still is.. I can hear the rain trickling down the road and spilling into the drain outside. Sounds like someone's left the tap running. Still, good for the garden! 🤗🤗🤗
Good morning all . Very serious conversations this morning . I think the moon landing was an amazing achievement.But it’s a pity that the humongous amounts of money spent on the project weren’t spent on our planet .To feed the hungry , to heal the sick and to stop the planet being poisoned by toxic emissions from our heavy industry .And a thousand other things that we humans do in the name of progress/greed .
Hey, SGL you don't have to apologise at all. Its good that we have a diverse mix of opinions. As I said before, the actual landing on the moon was an achievement but nowadays my views are similar to Ruby's. That is probably why I love animals more than some people.

Nice appropriate photo. It's happened little bit before my time.
Sunny and already hot here. I'm finished with watering and now making plans for cottage garden. I'll go this afternoon.
