I recently had some guy rattle off 10 stupid reasons why we never landed on the moon in a row. I have never heard a more clear example of the fallacy of verbosity. One of them was "We didn't have automatic windshield wipers for cars in the 60's so there is no way we had the technology to go to the moon. "

I swear to god his reasons were that stupid and he had a ton of them.

The Saturn V moon rocket first flew in 1967, first carried a crew in 1968 and flew the first moon landing in 1969.

Bernard Sadow patented the first suitcase with wheels in 1972.
