What Have We Become?

I was playing with my Hot Wheels on the living room floor and my father said, "Son, they will never make it past the van allen belts, the moon is 238,000 miles away and those pictures and radio transmissions could not be that clear. It looks like something from Kubrik's Hollywood studio. They will orbit the earth at around 600 miles up in space and it will be a half truth. Yes they were in space, on the moon not so much!"..I then had a pop tart and went to bed.
