" I find it curious that theres so many people out there with nothing better to do than devote significant time to such a topic"
That's a good point and the other thing that's strange is the fact that we've never been back (how can there be nothing valuable for study there?) and other space-capable countries (say russia at the time) never completed a mission there? I think those facts resonate with me more than the photos and other hoax theories.
"I'd like to start a foundation, dedicated to dredging the oceans"
I'll help you with that venture in any way I can. Let me know. I live in a coastal town and not only plastic but glass and garbage in some of these coves is embarrassing. I can't understand why the towns collecting all this tax money don't have a program in place to clean our ocean coves, harbors, and inlets.
