Astronaut Don Petite stated "we destroyed the technology" and can't reproduce it

Isn't his name spelled Pettit? You misspelled his name and did you quote him incorrectly as well? He said it would be a "painful process to build it back again." He is admitting they went to the moon before, if we could do it again, but it would be hard work for NASA. Hasn't much of NASA's work force been rebranded SpaceX? Even Pettit himself went to the space in a Russian rocket.

Pettit launched to the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft from Kazakhstan.

Thanks for clearing up my paraphrasing and such! And perhaps youre right about SpaceX, but tens of billions of NASA's funding is passed back to weapons and military aid organizations like Northrup Gruman and Boeing... More taxpayer money for the warmongers disguised as space reseach.

If the Russians are doing the hard parts for us, maybe we never really went to moon in US equipment? Maybe no one has been to the moon like Buzz Aldrin as stated in past?

You introduce more doubt. Let's see if you can quote Buzz Aldrin to really clinch the deal. What happened to Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin when he was taken in secret to a military hospital soon after leaving NASA? Are you quoting the man before or after his conversion therapy?

The second man to set foot on the moon, Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin Jr., has said that he was on his way to “a good old American nervous break down” a year after his Apollo 11 mission in 1969. In an interview with Wayne Warga of The Los Angeles Times, Aldrin said that after leaving the space program to com mand the Aerospace Research Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California, he was hospitalized for a month of treatment at an Air Force hospital in San Antonio. Aldrin said his hospitalization was kept secret “because of what was at stake — for the space program, the Air Force, myself and my family.” Source: NY Times, 1972

Wouldn't that be something if they did away with the real Buzz and replaced him? They could have kidnapped him and said it was a secret hospital visit. A month is a long time to be at a hospital. If the current "Buzz" were an actor, he could actually tell the truth if he said he never went to the moon. Actors that pretend to be astronauts are not real astronauts.

Edit: Aldrin may have changed at the hospital, but in this interview a couple years later (1973), Aldrin looks very serious and very intense when told the moon mission almost "destroyed" him. I think it is the same man in 1973, but later "Buzz" seems totally different.
