This is a news clip from Forbes Breaking News showing President Donald Trump on a phone call with the Artemis II crew. The crew—Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen (Canada)—just completed their historic mission orbiting the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft "Integrity." It's the first crewed lunar orbit since Apollo.

Key highlights from the call: Trump congratulates them on breaking distance records, being the first humans to view the Moon's far side up close from space, and inspiring the world.

The astronauts describe unforgettable moments: seeing the Moon's cratered far side (no dark "seas" or maria like the near side), emerging from a solar eclipse to view the Sun's corona and aligned planets (including Mars), and the awe of spotting Earth again after losing comms on the far side. They note staying focused on science during the blackout and highlight international collaboration, with Hansen thanking U.S. leadership for enabling Canada's role. Trump praises NASA's revival under his decisions, mentions establishing Space Force, talks about building a permanent lunar presence and pushing toward Mars, and invites the crew to the White House.

It's a

Reminiscent of Richard Nixon’s fake phone call to the moon.

On July 20, 1969, President Nixon made a historic phone call to astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin while they were on the Moon, congratulating them on their achievement during the Apollo 11 mission.

What was “fake” about it?

“What was fake about it?”

Fly through the Van Allen belt twice in a Budweiser can and then call me. 🙄

How touching.

[SmokingJoe]

“Reminiscent of Richard Nixon's fake phone call to the moon.”

Grok:

No, Richard Nixon did not make a “fake” telephone call to the Apollo 11 astronauts on the Moon. The call was real, though it wasn't a direct landline connection from the White House to the lunar surface—that's a common misunderstanding that fuels conspiracy claims.e4d152
On July 20, 1969 (shortly before midnight Eastern Daylight Time), President Nixon spoke from the Oval Office with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin while they were on the Moon. The conversation was brief (about two minutes), congratulatory, and broadcast live. Nixon said something like: “Hello Neil and Buzz, I am talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room at the White House, and this certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made.” The astronauts responded, expressing honor in representing America and humanity.

[SmokingJoe]

How the call actually worked
Nixon used a regular telephone in the White House.
His call was routed via landline to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, Texas.
There, a Capsule Communicator (CapCom)—an astronaut on the ground (Bruce McCandless II for this call)—patched it into the existing radio communication system.
The signal was then transmitted via NASA’s tracking network (large radio antennas around the world, part of the Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network) as radio waves to the Apollo spacecraft and lunar module on the Moon (about 238,000–240,000 miles away, or roughly 290,000 miles one way as sometimes cited).
The astronauts’ replies came back the same way: radio waves to Earth antennas, then to Houston, and finally to Nixon’s phone.

Oooohh.. you heard the term “van allen belts” and decided AGAINST ALL OTHER EVIDENCE that it meant moon landings were fake.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Communication to the AZ desert was pretty good then. 😉

[Georgia Girl 2]

They were fake. The radiation would have killed them and they didn’t have the fuel capacity to go that far. 🙄

[Georgia Girl 2]

In 1969 we landed on the Moon and walked around. In 2026 all we can manage is a flyby with the same tired photos.

Why didn’t they get a shot of the Flag they left behind in 1969?

Outside of FR nobody is buying this online.

[SmokingJoe]

“In 1969 we landed on the Moon and walked around. In 2026 all we can manage is a flyby with the same tired photos.”

So you can’t build the pyramids in Egypt again now so therefore they don't exist?

“Outside of FR nobody is buying this online.”

Not sure what online communities you hang out with, but I’d say at least 95% of X active users believe it.
And X has in the region of a billion registered users.

1:20 and you've really inspired the entire world. Really, everybody's watching.

It's like the days of awe. They were truly over the Moon.

The Moon represents the Malchut i.e. Kingdom of David.

As we are in the year 5786 and the Exodus from Egypt occurred in the year 2448, it comes out that it took place 3338 years ago. But the year 3338 was the year of the Hurban Bayit Rishon - the destruction of the first Beit Hamikdash.

>>>

Sod1820 adds to this that the following verse has the gematria of 3338:

.וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה; וַיֹּאמֶר, כֹּה תֹאמַר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶהְיֶה, שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶם

14 And God said unto Moses: 'I AM THAT I AM'; and He said: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.'

https://yeranenyaakov.blogspot.com/2026/04/pesah-5786-3338-years-since-exodus.html

(More of interest over there re the rescued airman.)

The math is based on the traditional 410 years for the existence of the First Temple, and

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

Year 2448 + 480 + 410 = 3338

5786 - 3338 = 2448

April 8th and 9th, 2026:

When Is the Moshiach's Meal

Moshiach's Meal is held following Minchah (the afternoon service) on the eighth day of Passover. In Israel, where Passover is seven days long, Moshiach's Meal is held on the seventh day.

https://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/pesach_cdo/aid/3965990/jewish/Moshiachs-Meal-What-Why-and-How.htm

Moshiach's Meal

The last day of Passover ("Acharon Shel Pesach") is particularly associated with Moshiach and the future redemption. The Haftarah (reading from the Prophets) for this day is from Isaiah 11, which describes the promised future era of universal peace and divine perfection. Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov instituted the custom of partaking of a "Moshiach's meal" on the afternoon of the last day of Passover; in addition to the matzah eaten at "Moshiach's meal", the Rebbes of Chabad added the custom of drinking four cups of wine, as in the seder held on Passover's first days.

and thinking what nobody has thought:

Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river [וְהִנֵּה עֹמֵד עַל־הַיְאֹר׃ is 496 is malchut מלכות, kingdom]

24-4-8, April 8, 2024 was the date of the second total solar eclipse over America and just to get a quick com check:

1:54 And at long last, America is back. And America is back in many ways stronger than ever before with the hottest country anywhere in the world. The
2:03 Aremis crew flew in the most powerful rocket NASA has ever made, ever launched, traveled over a quarter of a million miles, broke the distance record
2:11 set by the legendary Apollo 13. And America is a frontier nation. And the
2:18 four brave astronauts of Aremis 2 are our modern-day, you really are modern-day pioneers, all of you. And one
2:26 of them happens to be a neighbor. You know who that is, right? You have a special person over there, a neighbor.
2:32 And uh we like our neighbor. Your mission paves the way for America's return to the lunar surface very soon.
2:40 We're going all out. We're doing everything we can. And it's headed up by Jared. We'll plant our flag once again and this time we won't just leave
2:49 footprints. We'll establish a permanent presence on the moon and we'll push on to Mars. That'll be very exciting. I'm
2:56 waiting for that so much. I love to be here, but maybe we won't quite make it in terms of timing, but we will be up in
3:04 the moon and that's going to happen soon. So, America will be second to none in space and everything else that we're
3:11 doing. and we will continue to lead the whole thing into the stars. This incredible journey into the stars. So, I..

'We will see you on the other side,' [Victor] Glover said moments after referencing the teachings of Jesus, including the message to love your neighbor as yourself, just before communication with the ground team was lost.

Supporting Those Who Fall -- Why No "Nun" in Ashrei?

Psalm_145

Another meaning of nun is a bar nafli, one who has fallen, or a miscarriage. In the Torah portion entitled Balak,¹⁸ the prophet Bilaam prophesied the coming of two kings. The first one is King David. The second is King Moshiach, who will rise from David's descendants in the final days.

"Davidson" is the son of David [בן דוד] = 66

Deduced from the traditional dates is that the First Temple was destroyed in the year 3338, 2448 years ago. It's been a long, long journey home.

As the Talmud itself points out, baseless hatred was rampant during the First Temple period as well. So why is this not given as the reason for the destruction?

One explanation given is that the baseless hatred during the First Temple was primarily expressed by the leaders of the time, not the common folk.

um ok...

[Ezekiel]

Speaking of mathematical “coincidences”, there’s quite the squabbling in this thread about the Van Allen Belt(s).

As in, the mission had to be fake because the radiation would kill ‘em.

More like, if people knew WHO was in charge of every nanosecond of the narrative, they’d shut their mouths, because they’d be gobsmacked to death.

As for the light of 1000 Suns, I don’t think there’s a SPF for that.

Van Allen Belt(s):

חגורות ואן אלן

= 761

That’s got to be the longest list I’ve got. Stuff shows up, I add it to the list. I mean really, where to start?

Perhaps the last three words of the Torah??

Deu 34

10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed *in the sight of all Israel* [לְעֵינֵי כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל].

A few other 761 examples:

ποταμός — river
גְדוֹלָה תְּשׁוּבָה — Great is teshuvah
אֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה — Queen Esther
167 in reverse (re verses in the Book of Esther)
קורפוס כריסטי — Corpus Christi
השמש העולה — the rising sun
Ανάσταση — Resurrection
אור גלגל המזלות - zodiacal light
המושית — the little Moses (aka the lady bug):

mathematical coincidence:

A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place.[1][2] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence, and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational.

The page runs the numbers, showing that “4” is the 761st and last digit ahead of 999999.

And we all know that “4!” was Carl Spackler’s fore-warning for the “Big Bang”:
