Oh just remote view the astronauts and you'll find out everything you

viewing the astronauts on the Moon in 1969.

Geez.


Millions of the rest of the world were too. It was called "live
television".


Actually the Russians didn't need live TV to view.

And the US is JUST barely caught up with the technology the Russians had
in
'69
Geez. You would think with all the technology they had back in 69, they
would have invented a better toilet. Those darn tank things above your head
while on the john sometimes didnt fill up with enough water or the stupid
chain would break if you tried flushing. Or the hand held showers. With the
water pressures sometimes zero in the middle of the afternoon in most
apartment complexes those stupid things would never work right, and washing
hair with cold water sucked. As for TV's??? most people did not have them,
could afford them or even find to BUY them. Thats probably why they didn't
NEED them. Most of the Russians didn't even know what was happening outside
of the iron curtain. You talk as if they had some magic instruments back
then to SEE. But I'm talking about Eastern Europe not Russia. The Russians
were worse off than we were, and many of them living in the sattelite
countries wanted to stay permanently. If they returned back home they had to
leave their belongings so as not to cause those back home envy. God if
things were that ****ty back home in 69 they must be terrible in the US
today if what you say is true. All that stuff we see on TV, running water,
toilets fancy houses, SUV's are just makebelieve??? Who are you trying to
kid????

That's what happens when a government spends all of their money developing
science and technology and spying on their adversaries, much like what is
happening in the USA now, except the US is being used as a pawn for oil
companies, where as the Russians finally got smart and threw the oil
companies out so they could manage their own oil. The difference is the USA
has no oil reserves so they have a definite problem. And it's a needless
problem too, because the US now has the technology to have free energy
rather than being dependant on oil.
