Watching the BBC programme Age of the image, The presenter was discussing thw Moon Lamding, querying whether the 25bn $ should have been spent closer to home, When a song came on about the Black Americans plight about welfare and health and if you listen to it, ir bears more than a passing resemblance to 'Walking on the Moon' Even to the same phrasing when the American singer sings

I can't pay no doctors bills
Whities on the moon
Ten years from now i'll be paying still
Whities on the moon
The man just upped my rent last night
Cos Whities on the moon
No hot water, no lights
But Whities on the moon

If the guy knew this he could be onto a good pay day!!

To my ears it is more a crib, than the George Harrison song My Sweet Lord against the Chiffons He's so fine

If you have BBC Catch up check it out about 49mins

Apologies for the heading spelling!!!

I've heard the song, no comment, but as to the moon landings, no amount of money was too much. It remains the greatest achievement in all of human history.

A lot of the arguments against money spent on space 'stuff' fall down when you remember the money is spent on Earth and goes into the Earth economy.

They didn't just post billions of dollars to the moon. laugh

OP, it's more than the heading spelling you need to apologise for. Were you, by any chance, in an advanced state of refreshment when you typed the above?
