NASA: "We're really going to Mars. It won't be staged. Honest."
For over 50 years, NASA has had to fight the rumors that the moon landings were faked. Again and again NASA has provided proof that the landings were not a hoax, but skeptics remain. "It's frustrating that some people still believe that NASA didn't land astronauts on the moon," said Dr. Luna Fausse, spokesperson for NASA. "Because we definitely did and we're definitely going to put astronauts on the surface of Mars." Dr. Fausse said that teams of dedicated scientists and engineers are hard at work on the Mars mission just as they once were on the Moon missions. "Back then, some people believed that going to the moon was impossible," said Dr. Fausse. "They thought that there was no way that we could transport three people hundreds of thousands of miles through the coldness of space, land two of them on the moon, and then return them home safely. They assumed that it was more plausible that we just faked everything from a secret soundstage.
