As
a computer consultant in Washington DC since 1985, I worked as a contract
programmer on the Procurement Tracking System at the Headquarters of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). I had pride
and a vested interest in believing the Official Story of the Moon Landings of
1969-1972. I watched the broadcast with thousands of Boy Scouts
from many countries at the Jamboree in Idaho in 1969. This
inspired me to study computer science.
I founded the web site MoonTruth.org originally to defend the Official Story. Many skeptics who brought up very good questions that I could not answer. for several years, my mind went back and forth between being sure that the story was true, and false. Thanks to TM, my brain developed neuro-plasticity and the ability to retain unemotionally attached to either conclusion, depending on the evidence. Since 2016, I have been increasingly convinced that the landings were faked.
However, as an American, I support our country, and do not want the USA to be shamed. President Nixon did what he had to do, and the world is better for it. I am happy that President Trump has directed NASA to land a man on the Moon by 2024. This will Make America First on the Moon again.
