Setting a teacher straight.

Wales doesn't have a very good education system.  Until 2019, it was languishing as one of the worst-performing school systems in the world.

So maybe I shouldn't have been surprised recently when my daughter told me a teacher agreed with some of her less enlightened classmates that humans have never walked on the Moon's surface.

What?

Whilst the froth was forming in my mouth (Buzz Aldrin infamously punches people who come out with this trash), I was told the teacher believed rockets got there, but that the images are fake.

Fake, apparently.

Think about that kind of logic, coming from a secondary schoolteacher.  They agree we could get rockets there - which is admittedly kind of hard - but that having achieved that, it would be too difficult to capture photographs!
Well, I'll be setting the teacher straight, (but not with a punch!) in a forthcoming parents' evening.  Until then, it's worth having a look and listen to this great website (be sure to go on to the second part, too), which contains perhaps the best independent evidence of humans doing stuff on the Moon, provided by an amateur radio operator.

Of course, you can never persuade the idiotic, so they will simply claim these recordings are fake.  Life's easy when you're one of these people, but not very rewarding.
