There was a documentary that came out several years ago, calling the moon landing in to question.
They presented some very believable "facts" and it really got you wondering.
I was a young kid at that time of the moon landing, and I was fully wrapped up in space travel. That was a HUGE part of my childhood.
But that documentary was convincing enough for me to have some doubts. I didn't WANT to believe it, it made me sick to think about it.
Over the years I've heard the documentary's "facts" debunked, one by one.
But it really goes to show you the power of television.

If I had enough time, I could prove that the washington monument was built by space aliens - make a documentary about it - have it broadcast all over the us - and for the next 30 years, there would be a percentage of the population that actually believes that aliens built the washington monument.
I hate what that person did to the memory of our space program.

We've sunk so far as a society now that we can't even believe we made it!

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
