In a feeble attempt to

GET THIS THREAD BACK ON TOPIC!!!!!!!

Thats just like the Beagle 2. You really think it didn't work. It did. It just discovered life and we're keeping it secret so we can piss of the yanks.

Be careful Liz.

You're on very dodgy ground there.

The Irish won't be first on Mars because their science and technology budget is devoted to the perfection of an artificial liver.

Ooooh, hit a nerve did I? Sadly it's 100% true!

I suggest you re-read your history then.

Churchill never asked the USA to join the war. He pointed out that they were obliged too. It was actually the Japanese who tipped the US involvement in the war.

As Japan and Germany were allied when the attack on Pearl Harbour occured dragging the USA into the war as Hitler declared war on the USA at the same time as Japan. His particular justification was because the USA had been supplying Britain via it's convoys etc.

NOT ONCE DID THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT REQUEST ANYTHING OTHER THAN HUMANITARIAN AID FROM THE USA.

Of course the French, Belgians, Dutch, Polish citizens didn't care where the help came from.

Anyway - the USA won't be the first on Mars.

They never made it to the Moon in reality - it was all on a soundstage in Elstree, England.

USA: Second country to put a satellite in space.

USA: Second country to put an animal in space.

USA: Second country to put a man in space.

USA: Second county to put a man on Mars....? Maybe.

I tell you it'll be a Brit.

If we get there at all.


Plus, it's a know fact that the moon landings were staged. Look at the mutiple shadows around Armstrong's feet. That's from the flood lights overhead.

Actually this one of the conspiracy theories I actually believe in. Not because of any photographical evidence from the time. More due to the fact that Hubble can't actually see any of the lunar landers that were "left" behind.

Wasn't there a film with OJ Simpson about them faking a mission to Mars?
