Welcome, gtvc! I love the astronautix website. there's more information there than I could read in a lifetime.
PW: There's your site! I'd recently noticed that the link to your BS-debunk didn't work anymore and wondered where it went. What's the new link to that page? I couldn't find the right section on my first pass.
ETA: Never mind, I found it.

Yeah the old server company went out of business and so I had to move it. I hadn't announced the move because I was planning to do some more work on it first.

I really wish the USSR had been also able to get to the moon. Whether it was by joining forces as Kennedy suggested or by purely their own efforts, it saddens me that it didn't happen.

Agreed, as long as we'd still made it first. :-)
Didn't JFK actually suggest a cooperative effort? I think he did it as a political gesture (perhaps because he knew the Soviets would probably decline) and to reduce the large amount of money he'd committed to spending?

While they accomplished much and certainly provided the impetus to fund the Apollo program, I don't even want to imagine the hybrid monstrosity of a rocket that a Soviet-American joint venture would have built. The Soviets could not have built the first stage nor likely a light enough LM. Would we have had the grid work stage interconnect so the second and third stages to use their fire in the hole staging?
