There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

PN, you're an idiot.

They couldn't see the stars on the moon because of the bright Earth light, just as it is hard to see them here on Earth if you live in a large well-lit city. It's why almost all observatories are at high elevations away from cities.

"RULE #4: 11 Apollo astronots died on Earth during Apollo. "
Three astronauts died 'on the pad' in Apollo 1 during a test. I know at least two died in a jet crash near Lambert Airport in St. Louis when they were flying in to inspect some equipment; so while they died 'on the job', it was 'just' a plane accident... are you counting them? What were the other 6?

Rule 5: PIRATEJEW is a MOSAD spy.

Rule 6: He cant spell "Astronauts" or "control" or about 80% of the rest of the English language (because he's too used to writing in Hebrew).
