To you, does 2 + 2 equal 5? This century is the 21st Century, so last century was the 20th Century. The first Century ran from 0001AD to 0100AD (there was no year 0), so the 20th Century ran from 1901AD to 2000AD. <snip> -- Richard Heathfield <http://www.cpax.org.uk> Email: -http://www. +rjh@ "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line vacant - apply within

Sounds fine to me. What decade is it currently. By what year, according to Kennedy's speech, was the moon landing supposed to occur? -- glen

The decade in question was the 197th, 1961-1970. -- Richard Heathfield <http://www.cpax.org.uk> Email: -http://www. +rjh@ "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line vacant - apply within

Why did NASA decide that the moon landing had to be in 1969? It seems that they didn't believe that they had one more year. -- glen

JFK set 1970 as a limit, not a target. As you rightly asked, "by what year", not "in what year". -- Richard Heathfield <http://www.cpax.org.uk> Email: -http://www. +rjh@ "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line vacant - apply within |
