Can't forget "Forbidden Planet", with Walter Pidgeon, Leslie Nielson, Anne Francis and of course Robby The Robot, that was like the God-Father of most present day SciFi movies, it pretty much had it all.

I also like "The Day The Earth Stood Still" with Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Billy Gray and of course Gort. "Klaatu Barada Nitko". Those were good SciFi movie's.

I wouldn't even put LOTR in this category, LOTR should be in the exclusive (Fantasy) Category not SciFi. 

I still think this solution is better! 

I mean't to post this earlier, I want to take this time to wish Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) of Lost in Space fame a Happy 85th Birthday, Nov. 6th 1917. Now the sad news, he died this past Sunday from a blood clot to his heart while receiving treatment for chronic back pain, remember his "Delicate back was a Disaster area"! But I would like to take this time to celebrate his life as probably the most beloved person we loved to hate. The Dr. Smith character was one of the best of all time. Here's a little Trivia for ya, In the credits of LIS, Harris had his name as "Special Guest Star", this is a title we see very often on alot of TV shows, he is actually given offical credit for creating that Title.

So if any of you Lost In Space fans have any Special memories of Dr. Smith's antics please share them!

You must be talking about the Very Famous cartoonist Chuck Jones.

This is the idiot that they had on the news today saying he can prove that man never set foot on the moon. I've also included some fun related articles. Like I said in my first post I find the whole thing very funny. Also thought that him getting punched out by Aldrin was great.

I find the Wild West story on Mars interesting.

What do you all think of the Guy that has been on the news today saying that he has PROOF that the whole man reaching the moon was all a hoax? I know this rumor has been around for years, but now he says he has more proof. What are your opinions on this and research to other Planets.I find it quite funny.

Hey I have another Idea, we can make this a Baseball Game, there are 9 innings and 9 Planets, so because the "Powers That Be" are saying that Pluto and Mercury are of sub-standard "Planet Status" we will rename them, Pluto will now be called the Tampa Bay Devil Rays & Mercury will be called the Montreal Expos-But since Baseball has struck a new deal with can't consider Pluto & Mercury for Planet Contraction until after 2006! We can charge NASA and other space agencies with some sort of Luxury tax that will be spread out to give the lesser Planets like Pluto & Mercury equal time for more study & research! What do you guys think?

That's all very interesting and I thank you for your detailed reply, I guess we'll never really know all the answers until we have a manned trip or have some sort of robotic craft bring back actual rock samples of the Red Planet and compare them to what has been found here on Earth. I just hope we're all alive to see this happen. Isn't Mars supposed to be closer to Earth by next August then it has been in the last 60,000 years? Too bad they couldn't have a Craft ready by then to take and bring back samples before Mars orbit is too far away again for such a quick mission.

In Antarctica, alot of the research they claim they are doing was to support life on other Planets particularly Mars. They would find those rocks saying they were from Mars, can anyone actually vouch that Rocks or pepples from Mars actually blew off the Planet and landed in Antarctica or other parts of Earth? If so how can this be and since no craft has ever flown back to Earth from the Red planet how can these claims be really true? Soil samples?
