Guys. You are embarrassing me. Yes we went to the moon.
How do I know? Because my two older brothers worked at JPL on Ranger through Voyager. I later worked for NASA in planetology as a scientist. I have touched hardware that is now way far out in space. My brother's name was inscribed with the other people's names on a piece of hardware that ended up on the moon.
I have to think some of the people pushing the idea are trying to make us look like nuts.
It is reasonable to send up a dummy instrumented with sensors to detect the many kinds of radiation found in space to design better space suits etc. I'm not ok with a lot of what NASA is doing that is wasteful, but this thing actually makes sense for them to do it.
... Replicant testing....
