Apollo 11 Flight Plan

Forty years ago this Apollo 11 flight plan was what took men to the moon, accomplishing something all at once useless and priceless in its endeavor, and forever making cliche the term "if we could put a man on the moon, then ..." followed by something as equally ambitious, like curing world hunger.

These days of course, we can't put a man on the moon. NASA has a small budget, the shuttle is getting scuttled, and if we did go back to the moon, we'd have to use Russian equipment to get us there (ironically). Then again, a large percentage of Russians (28%, compared with 6% of Americans) think we never even landed on the moon in the first place, so, really the saying should be "if imperialist Americans could hoax the moon landing, then we should be able to hoax cure world hunger."

And then there's that nonsense about the original Apollo 11 moon landing tapes getting lost at the National Archives, or worse, recorded over. How convenient. So maybe ...
