On 20 July 1969, the world watched as the first manned moon landing took place. On the same date, Gloria Diaz was crowned as the first Filipina Miss Universe. Forty years had gone by, Neil Armstrong the first man to walk on the moon is now a grumpy old alcoholic man. Gloria Diaz is still Gloria Diaz, the most beautiful animal in the planet. I wonder why she doesn’t grow old (salamat sa doctor?). Her daughter Isabel pales in comparison.
The moon landing was phenomenal but people had moved on. It didn’t excite us anymore. Even NASA suspended all their moon projects for decades. That raises the question from the skeptics that the moon landing was just a hoax. According to reports, the moon landing was just taken from a movie set in Hollywood. There are several evidences that proved the point of the biggest cover up on earth.
The United States and the first world countries can do what they want with their money. But I believe that the money spent in space exploration should instead be spent on poverty reduction and alleviation. It's a shame that first world countries would rather spend billions of dollars in space exploration than helping feed the hungry.
