PN, you're an idiot.

They couldn't see the stars on the moon because of the bright Earth light, just as it is hard to see them here on Earth if you live in a large well-lit city. It's why almost all observatories are at high elevations away from cities.

"RULE #4: 11 Apollo astronots died on Earth during Apollo. "
Three astronauts died 'on the pad' in Apollo 1 during a test. I know at least two died in a jet crash near Lambert Airport in St. Louis when they were flying in to inspect some equipment; so while they died 'on the job', it was 'just' a plane accident... are you counting them? What were the other 6?

Rule 5: PIRATEJEW is a MOSAD spy.

Rule 6: He cant spell "Astronauts" or "control" or about 80% of the rest of the English language (because he's too used to writing in Hebrew).
