It never happened
So…
WE NEVER WENT TO THE MOON
LIKE, NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!!
I am very willing and happy to accept any challenges to this assertion, before the news cycle kicks in, before Israel bombs the next country on their genocidal list, requiring our attention for the necessary round of ‘understanding’ and virtue-signaling.
In the meantime, here is a great discussion on the WE NEVER WENT TO THE MOON topic:
Moon, didn’t happen, sorry!

MEET THE PLANTS FROM THE WG PLANT SALE 9/20, DAY ONE!
Today’s line up includes: Sphaeralcea ’Newleaze Coral’, Fuchsia hatchbatchii and Felicia ’Tight and Tidy’.
The globe mallow ‘Newleaze Coral’ is, to me, one of the summer jewels of the WG. We’ve had the same plant for six years now and it’s asked only full sun, good drainage and space to do its thing. Nothing, I mean nothing else in the WG has a flower color quite like this particular sphaeralcea selection, a delicious shade of orange-peach-apricot that even the pix below doesn’t quite capture. If you’ve room for this 5’ x 2’ semi-woody perennial that blooms for easily three months, put it on your list.
Felicia ’Tight and Tidy’ puts a smile on everyone’s face when they see it. How else can a sane person response to hundreds of miniature true-blue daisies with bright yellow eyes hovering above shiny tufts of foliage? It makes your heart break for all those Portlanders who can’t get the plant through a winter, but ours keep coming back. The trick is a cozy spot in yummy soil and weekly watering through summer. See it to believe it, as it’s blooming in the WG now.
Fuchsia hatchbachii has an amazingly accurate common name: Climbing Fuchsia. 100% true. Our mature specimen peaked at 8’ after working its way through the branches of an adjacent pine tree. Quite glorious. We’ve since taken the tree out and the fuchsia’s still going straight up, but looks way better with something to climb on. Full sun or part shade, rich soil and weekly watering in its youth for years of easy amazement.

emotions
“If I can get you thinking emotionally you’re not thinking rationally.”
(David Schweidel, Professor of Marketing & Goizueta Chair in Business Technology – Top AI expert at Emery University Goizueta Business School)
Later I went about researching what he said.
Psychology websites point out emotions and rational thought come from differents parts of the brain and emotions do not lead to irrational thinking.
BUT
The abstract from a study (PMC4050437) documented on the PubMed website starts out:
Recent experimental studies show that emotions can have a significant effect on the way we think, decide, and solve problems. This paper presents a series of four experiments on how emotions affect logical reasoning.
So I guess we can choose what to think about our emotions, but experiments show our emotions can affect how we think. That would explain why scams and con artists play on emotions. Not everybody will take the bait, but enough to make it worthwhile.
I think it’s important to understand how we are getting played so we can be careful. Probably also the reason Fox12 ran the story. It’s become a fact of life, our emotions are inundated by everything from social media to commercials to politicians. Our task if we know someone affected is not to criticize but to be there for them as they process their thoughts.
-Dave
