On or about Sun, 26 Oct 2003 16:30:51 +1030, Martin Dunn made the sensational claim that:
"The Eagle has Landed: the Flight of Apollo XL"


I don't know which is more surprising...that there was an Apollo 40 or that it
reused a previous LM's callsign.

I find "2 Feb. 1972" to be the impressive bit, myself ;-)

Sorry, [unnumbered?] television guide, pull out printed tabloid format (at
right angles to rest of paper). Regional edition (hence ABC-6 Taree).

OK.

So this is a program on ABC, correct? Date? Time? I can't spot it.

some upcoming documentary that I missed s.

What are you doing with a 1972 SM? Was it under the lino?

....Nope. You're not getting out of this one that easy, Martin. You've
just exposed Oz' biggest secret: In addition to the drastic
devaluation between the US and Oz dollars, you guys are also
shortchanged on time itself.

Which means it's either 1972, 1968 or 1974 depending on what time of
day it is...

No, no, its the Aussies who are a day ahead

After all, Neil made the first steps on 20th July 1969 for us. Maybe that
*proves* that Apollo was all rigged on a sound-stage in Woomera.
