Moon landing was a shambles

Over the years we have enjoyed D's (now 12 years old) manipulation of the English language. A couple of expressions are particularly memorable: his 'flutterbies" for butterflies and his 'provisional vision' for peripheral vision - they tickled us pink. However, I think he has topped those. The school organised a 'Space Day' where the kids flew in simulators, talked to astronomers and discussed space milestones in detail. When he came home he said forthrightly, 'Did you know that the moon landing was a shambles?' Well, I thought , in fairness, logistically speaking, it was an operation of incredible magnitude requiring timing and perseverance. Then hubbie piped up, smiling, 'You mean it was a sham, though that was a shambles too!' Here is a link to the 'moon landing sham evidence'. The subject provided a lovely conversation in our house. Your children might be interested in this - discover it together.
