I'm currently reading the book Moondust by Andrew Smith. He had interviewed Aldrin shortly after the "Sibrelgate" incident and he asked him if he had really hit Sibrel,
"Oh yeah." He smiles ;D

A while ago I was out with some friends in Belfast and I was introduced to "a friend of a friend," we somehow ended up talking about the Moon landings and this guy had seen that awful Fox show and believed every word of it! He wasn't a hardcore HB'er, just impressionable. He kept saying "Ahh but, shadows, radiation etc. and I replied to everyone "Look up badastronomy.com" (I didn't know about Clavius at this time!).
A few weeks later I met him again and he had taken up my suggestion and was now happy that the landings had taken place! ;D

This isn't really a "contradiction" but thinking about the "Apollo 11 astronauts saw aliens" stories and the alleged break in transmission I've realised that if these aliens were operating on the moon, for whatever reason, (and why would they have been there?) then they would surely have been able to monitor Earth TV and radio broadcasts and they would surely have known about the Apollo programme? If they had wanted to keep their presence on the Moon secret from us then they would have had several months warning to re-locate and to ensure that there was no evidence of their activities. If they had wanted to monitor the progress of the mission, they all they would have to do was monitor the transmissions. Surely any alien civilisation capable of interstellar travel would find it comparatively easy to monitor us from close range and leave us unawares? Well voyager, (if there were aliens), this all depends on their level of intelligence. I mean, we went to the moon to, but that doesn't make us able to listen to other lifeforms' talking. No we don't have the technology to do that, but if some extrasolar civilisation was so advanced that they were able to travel from their home system to ours, then surely reading our broadcasts would be child's play to them?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, although I've been following the board for some time now.
If my reading of the posts in this thread is correct, is it possible that in the future a Bill Gates type figure could build his own spacecraft, land on the moon and claim it as private property? Also, in the book 2010, The Chinese land on and claim Europa, stating that they had not signed the 1967 treaty and were therefore not bound by it, is this still the case?
