And as I waited, someone else showed up, a man who39。 s made my professional life in misery. And an amazing thing happened. I, I was able, for the first time in my life to say the exact thing I wanted to say at the exact moment I wanted to say it. And of course, afterwards, I felt terrible. Just as you said I would.

No matter what he39。 s done to me, there39。 s no excuse for my behavior. Anyway, I so wanted to talk to you. I hope you have a good reason, have a good reason for not being there last night. You don39。 t seem like the kind of person that would do something like that.

Last week my phone rang. It was my mother and she was very upset. Tony! she exclaimed, I just came from the coffee shop and there39。 s a guy down there who says NASA never landed on the Moon. Everyone was talking about it ... I ... I just didn39。 t know what to say! That last bit was hard to swallow, I thought. Mom39。 s never at a loss for words. But even more incredible was the controversy that swirled through the small town and places like it across the country. After a long absence, the Moon Hoax was back. All the debates about the Moon landing began on Thursday, February 15, 2020 when the Fox Television work aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? It was reaired on March 19. The program was hosted by XFiles actor Mitch Pileggi. The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program39。 s conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert. According to them, NASA technology in the 1960s did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon. Instead, anxious to win the Space Race any way it could, NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios.

Otherwise, they could have filmed their own fake Moon landings and really embarrassed the free world. According to the show, NASA was a blundering movie producer thirty years ago. The hoax believers pointed out a lot of discrepancies in Apollo imagery. For example, pictures of astronauts transmitted from the Moon don39。 t include stars in the dark lunar sky an obvious production error! What happened? Did NASA filmmakers fet to turn on the constellations? Here39。 s another one. Pictures of Apollo astronauts erecting a US flag on the Moon show the flag bending and waving. How can that be? After all, there39。 s no breeze on the Moon ... One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. These immortal words were spoken when American astronaut Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon in 1969. Or did he? Questions: 1. Why was the speaker39。 s mother at a loss for words at the beginning? 2. When did the Fox TV work air the program for the second time? 3. What was the theme of the program that the Fox TV work aired in 2020? 4. Why did NASA fake the Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s according to the passage?。
