What in the H E double hockey sticks is wrong with Texas.
What is their beef with Armstrong?
"A Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills review team composed of parents and teachers has suggested removing Neil Armstrong from a 'science strand' in a 5th grade social studies book," writes Eric Berger, blogging for the Houston Chronicle.
At issue: The review team says the first man on the moon was not a scientist.

It's silly, but then again we're just talking about removing his name from a single 5th grade social studies book. Neil Armstrong was hardly a
historical figure in the resolution or creation of any social issues in the United States. The general discussion of space travel and it's social
implications is still there, but with less specific details.
It's not as if he was stricken from all science in the state. There is no decree or announcement that says he wasn't a scientist. The further we get from 1969, the less prominent he will be as a name.

I think an educator ought to be able to use a dictionary!! I would say Neil Armstrong meets any of the above definitions and more!!

As a Texan I second that. There are groups of fools no matter where you go, and that is the same for the state of Texas. The majority of people in Texas do not think this way.

Where is your definitive proof of the moon landing being faked? Show me and change my mind. Far as I'm concerned He's as much a scientist as any
other today minus the fancy schmancy Ivy League degree.

Plucky, I have known several astronauts, and believe me, there is absolutely no way they could be convinced to "fake" anything! These guys are patriots and boy scouts to their very core!
If, and that is a very big if, but if the landings were faked, the astronauts involved had no idea! They were either in a virtual reality type ride, or they were hypnotized and had memories suggestively placed.
I really don't believe either of those scenarios either. I think the landing was real, but I am absolutely certain that Armstrong thought it was real either way!
