My point exactly.
So why would that girl have asked Buzz when he was going BACK to the moon, if he had never been?
Why would Buzz have talked about going BACK to the moon if he had never been there in the first place?

That little girl was asking what so many have asked in the past. Buzz's answer ' I think I know why, b/c we never went there'.

That's not what he said. He said "we didn't go there", and from the context it's obvious (to all but conspiracy theorists) that he meant "we didn't go back there.". In other words, we haven't been back, or returned. He also said if we want to know for the future we have to look at why it stopped in the past.

When you first produced this clip, a few months ago, I pointed out to you that the very next clip - on my phone anyway - showed an interview with Buzz which began with the words "I'm Buzz Aldrin and I was a pilot on Apollo 11." There are several such clips on YouTube - although the conspiracy theorists clips get more publicity.

It's like when David Jenkins, Bishop of Durham, said years ago, "the resurrection is MORE than just a conjuring trick with bones". (I read his full sermon in the Church of England newspaper.)
Headline the next day, "Bishop says resurrection is a conjuring trick with bones". This lead to letters, articles and cartoons about doubting bishops, how do they get to stay in the job, etc ?
David Jenkins wasn't perfect and he probably said a lot of things I disagreed with. "The resurrection didn't happen", was not one of them, but hey, it sold newspapers.

If you say so, I know what I heard him say.

Yeah, you interpreted it how you waned to.

That doesn't account for the other videos where he said that he went to the the moon.

The truth will all come out one day & will be shouted from the highest roof tops.

And it will make absolutely no difference to anything.
The unsaved will still be unsaved and globe earth Christians will still be saved.

Besides, when the Lord returns and the world ends in preparation for a NEW earth, no one will care two hoots what shape the old one was.

I think the new earth will be square.

I always said the earth is a circle.
I asked truth or lie?

Here is a photo of that very circle as taken on his Apollo mission:

Either you can't grasp the point or you deliberately ignore it.

It doesn't, and won't, matter.
We are told to be salt and light to the world. Light penetrates the darkness, and this world is dark; salt gives flavour, is a preservative and if it gets into wounds, stings like mad. We are called to bring Jesus' light into the world around us, to preserve the Gospel, preventing it from being distorted or compromised and maybe we are also meant to occasionally irritate people - sticking form to the truth of the Gospel.
We were given the Great Commission to go and make disciples of every nation; teaching, healing and baptising.
We are to be witnesses for Jesus, as the 12 were sent to witness to him.
Paul tells us that we are ambassadors for Christ - i.e. ambassadors for the king. We are to tell people about him, that he is coming back one day and to further the kingdom of God.

None of this has anything at all to do with the shape of the earth - zero, zilch, nada.
No one at all in the NT said that the earth was a certain shape and it was important that everyone believe it. They were all focussed on Jesus.
No one has said anything about what the new earth will be like - it might be the same planet, but new in the sense that all corruption and evil will have gone.
Even if the new earth were to be a bright pink dodecahedron, who cares?

Revelation 21:9

The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb​

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[c] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits[d] thick.[e] 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[f] 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
