Is Tech Times a credible news source?

[GGD]

I clicked on this Tech Times article that Google News presented today titled "Here’s Why NASA’s Space Shuttle Program Came To An End".

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/195823...an-end.htm

The page also cycled through several videos loosely related to the article, one of them was this one.

There was one section of that video that caught my eye. What's wrong with this picture?



But at least they got the names right.

I don't know if it's proofreading, or just lack of knowledge of who was the second man to walk on the moon. Maybe their staff is very young, and it's only instantly memorable to those who are old enough to remember those events live. Buzz Aldrin is still alive too, this isn't ancient history yet. Just seemed surprising for a "Tech" website and material covering US manned space flight.

I'm 55 and barely remember the Apollo era. Apollo IS ancient history if you're 30. Its like expecting me to know all about the Depression when I was 30 in 1991.

I'm a few years older than you, and I still know about what Orville and Wilbur Wright did in 1903, and they were both dead before I was born.

I was glued to the tv set during the Apollo missions, and I'm 58. Yeah, I was just a kid, but it was interesting, and pretty much the only thing on when the missions got close to the moon!

I can't say I remember it all, but with the info available out there on the web, you would think someone would do a little checking before going live with the article.

Oh yeah? Which one made the first flight?
