OK, you’ve convinced me. 100,000 NASA engineers and support staff are all in on this scam. And have been for 50+ years.

And no one has peeped one word.

I thought I might have invented the word ... only to find it already in the dictionary.

Drat!

When you rip electrical wires apart they spark, and lights blow up

~~~

I immediately recognized it as electrical. I would put money on it. I wouldn’t bet the farm, but I’m quite confident.

There are a lot of people out there who just don’t know how things work. You can blame public education, you can blame television and tiktok culture and the idiocracy acceleration, but there are also people who think they are clever and have no idea how much they really aren’t.

When September 11th happened, before the towers went down, I was watching it all on television with a group of people. I made the statement, “If they don’t put those fires out, those buildings will collapse due to structural failure”.
Not everyone learns construction technology, so I give allowances, but it is code to coat I-beams and steel columns with fire retardant material because they will get soft and give way in fires. The WTC building should have had this too, but prolonged jet-fuel fed fires are too hot to allow to burn.

I find conspiracy theories entertaining, but the best ones are ones that cannot be refuted. This stuff is just stupid.

You used it in a most accurate and complete way....

Decerebrate posture is an abnormal body posture that involves the arms and legs being held straight out, the toes being pointed downward, and the head and neck being arched backward. The muscles are tightened and held rigidly. This type of posturing usually means there has been severe damage to the brain.

. If we’ve only gone 380 miles up and can’t get through the Van Allen Belts without radiation damage,

ROFL!!!

Your major and minor premises are both FALSE. Your persistence in those falsehoods calls into question the worth of any other work you might do. Your question about "refueling" further calls into question your knowledge of very basic physics ... yet you pretend to be an electrical/RF guy?

Bosh!

If this was a Black Swan event the action was on the ship. No explosives were needed with the kind of damage that was done.

Right? And the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition charges. 🙄
