If it's a fake it's to get publicity. Big oil ain't exactly throwing for Trump.

What the hell was that? After a promising first 10 minutes it was all downhill. 3 damn hours too.

Trump Leads Clinton by 5+ Points in the Key Battleground State of Pennsylvania
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has surged to a 5-point lead over democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania as per a latest poll.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - August 21, 2016 - (Newswire.com)
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has surged to a 5-point lead over democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania as per the poll conducted by CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution, on Friday (19th Aug 2016).
Trump leads Clinton 41.9 percent to 36.5 percent, with 21.5 percent voters undecided. Trump’s lead is just inside the margin of error and marks the first time that the Republican candidate is catching up in the traditional stronghold state of the democratic party.
The survey contacted around 1,000 registered voters. Results are estimated to be accurate within 7.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. According to CEPEX analysis, the error percentage is high due to the results obtained from just one day of polling. Subsequent polling would be required to reduce the error percentage.
While it is noteworthy that Trump is making headway in this battleground state, the undecided voters hold the key to the eventual outcome on Nov 8.
“With the undecided voters holding the key which way the state eventually goes in November, both the campaign teams should be tweaking their ground games to win over this key demographic” Parth Mukherjee, Expert Principal, CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution.
“One of the reasons of Trump’s surge is attributable to seemingly strong support from the women” added Mukherjee.
CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution will continue to conduct independent polls in the various states leading up to the presidential election this November.
CEPEX- Center for Excellence in Project Execution, a Management Consulting firm, is conducting opinion polling and analysis on the US Presidential Election 2016 as an Independent Unaffiliated source.

Which doesn't make sense. It was the 60s. An Iphone could run that mission. Tech is already there. That leaves you with materials, training and fuel. Costly sure, but any first world nation should be able to do it.
The cost to put 1 pound of material in Earth orbit is supposedly a little over $600, yet we don't have private companies offering trips for people? Should be thousands of people, if not millions, willing to pay 100-200k for something like that.

Well, this was based off a CNN interview Kellyanne Conway did.
_________
"On Sunday morning, his newly installed campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, was asked during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" whether Trump still wants "a deportation force removing the 11 million or so undocumented immigrants."
"To be determined," said Conway, who in the past has supported creating a pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants illegally living in the United States.
Earlier in the interview, she described Trump's immigration position in this way: "What he supports is to make sure that we enforce the law, that we are respectful of those Americans who are looking for well-paying jobs and that we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country."
Conway said that "as the weeks unfold," Trump will reveal the specifics of his immigration plan. Trump and his aides have also been unclear on whether he still wants to temporarily bar most foreign Muslims from entering the country. Trump is expected to give a policy speech about immigration on Thursday in Colorado.
_________
The campaign manager not wanting to answer what exactly will happen to 11 million people is not worthy of that headline. Even if true and he won't be throwing out every single one of those millions, that's hardly a "major flip flop". Also funny to see the media trying to present that possibility as a bad thing.

I don't know man, if they did fool the whole world with the moon landings it kinda puts everything into question. For sure I wouldn't trust any information coming from an agency guilty of that.
Would be nice, but hard to get excited when you don't know if it's real or not. There are so many things they should be doing up there, yet they're not. Only military operations with NASA, Russia and the Chinese. For me the whole space thing has become a bit like reading war reports from the government, you know they're not exactly giving you the whole truth.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the … -flop-yet/
Donald Trump launched his campaign on a promise to be very, very tough on illegal immigration — and immigrants. He called Mexican immigrants "rapists" and "criminals." He would later promise to deport every single one of them — even approvingly referencing a controversial 1950s mass-deportation program known as "Operation Wetback." He has in recent weeks prominently featured victims of crimes perpetrated by illegal immigrants.
But according to reports and the suggestions of his top advisers on Sunday, it sounds as if he's considering seriously changing his tune — in what would amount to a stunning flip-flop.
Late Saturday, BuzzFeed and Univision reported that Trump backed away from that rhetoric at a meeting with a group of newly announced Hispanic advisers, appearing open to a plan to deal with the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants that is not deportation.
They also ran several articles about Trump dropping out. Credibility ain't exactly high these days in the Post.

I'm still waiting for them to go and take some proper pictures of our moon. 
The more time goes on since 1969 without going back it becomes more and more obvious they pulled our leg. It's the 60s for Christ sake, all you need is fuel. Yeah, oil is up but give me a break! There should be like a dozen countries interested in the PR alone. There should be billionaires who could easily afford it. Not buying it.
Safe to say I have little hope of us ever reaching any of those far away places. Alpha Centauri would be like an ant taking a trip over the Atlantic Ocean.
