Slashdot interviewed the hosts of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters based on questions submitted by their readers/members. If you've watched the show, you know that both Jamie and Adam are space (history) enthusiasts. Here's a question and answer pair that was relevant to our community: Assuming an unlimited budget, what myth would you most like to test? How about using 1960s technology to try and land on the moon?JAMIE HYNEMAN -- You read our minds! On a side note; I once asked Adam if he was given a rocket ship and told he would be able to travel anywhere in the universe, but he would never be able to return, would he do it? Well, both of us would (but not together). ADAM SAVAGE -- That's exactly what we want to do! Remember Salvage 1? The TV show with Andy Griffith about the guys who go to the moon with a ship they built in their garage? Jamie and I have done the research, and figured that the only way to end the debate about the "myth" of the Apollo moon landing is to go there, and bring back something that was left there during one of the Apollo moon landings. |

Wow... Salvage 1... I had forgotten all about that show. Found this site.Once upon a time, a junkman had a dream...
“I want to build a spaceship, go to the moon, salvage all the junk that’s up there, bring it back, and sell it.” Now... what collector on this site hasn't dreamed the same dream???? (Although I'd also want to keep a bunch of the stuff I brought back...) | |
