    Hello Gerrit,

    The Moon is within Earth's atmosphere.

    Nope. The atmosphere of the Earth reaches up to about 10.000 km (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth#Stratification) whereas the orbital distance of the moon is almost 400.000 km (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon).

    According to those in the know, mankind has never left Earth's
    atmosphere, which means those Little Green Men from Mars might
    really be from Mars -

    There's a a recent study or two which claim the earth is surrounded by a
    large hydrogen cloud (a geocrona) which extends out to about twice the radius of the moon's orbit. So if you count that as part of the earth's atmosphere, then the moon does indeed lie inside it.

    This time, quite by accident, Lee may actually be right.

    Perhaps Sweden should have its own space program.

    We've had since 1964 and still doing well, thank you very much.

    How many Swedish flags has Sweden's astronauts planted on the Moon? More than the United States? Or even as many?

    Is that your definition of a space program? Putting flags on the moon? Jeeezzz...

    It's easy to claim credit for something of which you basically
    only provide the finances ... a lot of German, Polish, Belginese,
    Danish and other languages were spoken during the development of
    the Atlas, Saturn, Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programmes.

    Ever heard the saying "Actions speak louder than words"?

    Perhaps all those countries (and likely more) *contributed* to the
    US space programs, but it was the *US* that had the programs. It
    was the US who actually *DID* put men on the moon.

    And we'll be the ones who do it again, sooner than you think.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    More than the United States? Or even as many?

    Is that your definition of a space program? Putting flags on the moon? Jeeezzz...

    It is more than that. Much more. Neil Armstrong wanted to plant
    the United Nations flag on the Moon. But President Richard Nixon
    would not let him, ordering Armstrong to plant the US flag. As he
    also ordered all other commander astronauts who flew to the Moon.

    Do you honestly believe the Soviets would not have planted their
    own flag had they succeeded in landing a man on the Moon?

    Certainly the Swedes would have done the same, planting their own
    flag. But as far as I know, no Swede has ever set foot on the Moon.

    However, the truth is, we have all been had. Almost the entire
    world. Except for those in the know.

    Truth is, the US had a secret Moon base. And the Soviets did not
    like it. So what did they do? They blew it up. That is the real
    reason why President Nixon ordered Neil Armstrong to plant the US
    flag in the lunar soil. He wanted Neil Armstrong to claim the
    entire Moon as US territory, making it the 51st state.

    Julian Assange has recently been arrested. This surprised me,
    as I thought he would more likely have had a freakish accident,
    thus putting him (permanently) out of commission. Nobody seems
    to know the fate of his cat, merely 10 weeks old at the time
    of his arrest (on frivolous charges).

    What does this have to do with secret bases on the Moon? Quite
    a lot, if you bother to read what others are claiming -

    Any questions? I may not have the answers, but it is a true story.

    How many Swedish "astronauts" have even been to space?

    The US has astronauts.
    Russia has cosmonauts.
    China has taikonauts.

    But what the heck does Sweden have? Although it may have
    a space program, how many Swedes have actually flown on a
    Swedish rocketship? And what does one call a spacefaring
    Swede? I am not sure there is any such word for it.

    really be from Mars -

    Which has, true or not, nothing to do with the distance between Moon and Earth, or the extension of Earth's atmosphere.

    It is possible the Moon has been colonized by Little Green Men
    from Mars. Pictures of spheres on the surface of the Moon have
    been taken by Apollo astronauts. Nobody has a clue who built
    them, or if the Moon itself is populated.

    You know this for sure?

    How does one prove that mankind has never been there - lack of footprints? Of course someone would have to go there to not see the footprints...

    In this case we can also say that the Earth goes through the Sun
    atmosphere which is spread by the Solar wind. ;)

    How about a galactic wave hitting the Earth, and then the Sun,
    reflected back, with the Sun going mini-nova, leaving the Earth
    in cinders?

    It has happened before, according to the mad scientist, noted

    around 2020 to 2022.

    We know little indeed. For instance, the scientists cannot guarantee
    that the Earth itself will not be a lava inferno in 2022. They know well
    that periodically the Earth gets twisted bowels, and its all volcanoes
    begin erupting across the planet. Why? Nobody knows how these bows
    constructed and what we can expect.
