Space travel is a shockingly simple thing using basic physics; you shoot something past the Earth's atmosphere, get it going in the direction you want, and let inertia take it from there.  Landing is tricky but, even with big 1960s computers, is quite doable.  But that doesn't mean it wasn't a true giant step forward.

As for the ineptitude of government and its ability to cover things up, I agree it is a near impossibility.  But therein may lie an interesting truth in regards to JFK :  The nature of the crime and its players did, in fact, eventually come out (in fact suspicions began to be raised about the Warren Commission's findings as early as 1964).  However in 1963, it was assumed by almost everyone in the US and elsewhere - even Beatniks and social activists (yes there were a few in '63) - that the the American feds would conduct nothing but an unhindered, honest investigation.   Sadly, because of numerous issues and conditions surroundings the Cold War, Cuba, Southeast Asia, the Space Race, and a host of strange machinations involving CIA behavior modification/drug research and other things, the inquiry was met with a fairly big stone wall to the detriment of history and the American people.   This caused huge, sometimes accurate suspicions about government that still linger, and John Kennedy's death has never been fully understood by anyone, even those in government.

^ The part in the Bill that stated........."and the Kennedy mafia, I mean family, will handle all US govenrment affairs..." probably got him the bulls-eye on his back.

I'm a bit intrigued by some theories about JFK's death, but it doesn't make me believe that Kennedy had been killed by a CIA/KGB/Mafia/Reptilian/Disney/Nixon conspiracy. I tend to think that there must be some life on other planets, but I don't believe Earth had already been visited - except by Jimi Hendrix. One thing that still puzzles me is why are there so many American who swear that the Moon landing is a hoax. If the Russians managed to send a dog, then a man in space, why are there American people who denied this glory to their own country???

Mayhap because the Russian claims were fake as well?

Or perhaps it's because they didn't go through the Van Allen Belt (I've not read whether they did or not).

I also forgot to mention all the links with the Bush and Harriman families and thus Skull & Bones and links to MK-Ultra and other lovely things.

Oh and I keep meaning to read about the Rosicrucians.  I haven't had a chance yet to do so.  I know Edgar Bulwer-Lytton wrote a novel based on them though.

.....Theory #47, subsection A, Part II

That's just it, JFK alone has spawned like 100 theories.


We even forget about his brother, who also has his own conspiracy: That he was really shot in the back of the head from point black and Sirhan Sirhan was a decoy (and supposedly hypnotized or some sh*t  from the CIA)



I personally never liked a lot of the Freemason ones because  I simply think it's not true. Funny I know given the topic at hand, but I do think a fun/good conspiracy needs some grounding.
At least, I don't like a lot of the Freemason ones about Satanism and religion and all these sinister things.
The ones about them trying to control the world well.....maybe that one

Quote wikipedia: "The Apollo astronauts traveled through the Van Allen radiation belts on the way to the moon; however, exposure was minimized by following a trajectory along the edge of the belts that avoided the strongest areas of radiation. The total radiation exposure to astronauts was estimated to be much less than the five (5) rem set by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity."
