I still like that recruiting poster.

Which reminds me, I once had a cousin who got kicked out of the Army because he couldn't spell "basic training". He then enlisted in the Marine Corp. Well, when he left the Army and joined the Marine Corp. he raised the average IQ of both services.

Hehe...no.

The Blair Witch was 3 people just walking around with a regular camera. There were no sets or props except for the stickmen.

I guess though that we essentially did the same thing. We faked the moon landing by having 2 guys go up there and just walk around and pretend to be on the moon.

Well besides the lives lost under the Soviet era.

It doesn't generate microgravity. It's a trick of physics. You're falling at the same rate asa the aircraft. Imagine being in a house dropped out the back of a plane. From your perspective everything has no gravity. However it's all a matter of perspective.

Here's more on the KC-135 ("vomit comet"):

Imagine all of the people in NASA and the government keeping the "fake" moon landing a secret....

I believe the truth of that old saying that says "Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead." :)

I mean, who disbelieved the landing back in '69?

My grandmother never believed that they landed on the moon. She maintained that they went out and filmed it in the desert.

Then again, my grandmother was a moronic, uneducated nutcase.

I read about this very subject in an early 1960's National Geographic. Anybody around aircraft knew this back in early 1900's. This is why they put seat belts in airplanes.

What has that got to do with private enterprise in space.

You selling stock in your company yet?

And with out gravity, your tag line would mean nothing. Bro' Rabbit would have just floated over.

If all else fails, read the postings.

Perhaps you took the words right out of:

U S Army EOD's

mouth so he'd not have to say them for you. Presumably you saw how he fileted my source whose brother worked at NASA. U S Army EOD exclaimed that the brother must have scrubbed NASA latrines for a living.

I've read all of your postings and my answer is, so what. That information has been around forever. The trick to the game is being able to comprehend the information and know a little bit about the history of it.

Name me one large space or flight program that got started on its own without any help from a government in any country.

Once someone can make a profit on it, then and only then will there be a private enterprise that will take over space exploration. By the way, NASA makes nothing, they contract with private companies.

I am still trying to figure out the point you are making except to criticise the organization that got the space program rolling in the first place.

How would you have done it from the start???

[Chummy]

Here's a little detail to which little attention was paid: the actor stepping from the studio LEM recites, "That's one small step for man...."

Armstrong did say this upon placing his boot on the lunar surface on that day in July 1969.

Armstrong also noted he erred, that what he meant to say was, "That's one small step for a man...."

Which came first? The Apollo 11 moon landing, or this recreation that repeats a mistaken statement?

NASA's money should have gone to offering competitive prizes like Congress allows but like NASA opportunistically won't do:

As for space projects that got underway without govt. support, many have been thwarted by NASA. Here's an example:

What a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars.

[Bogey78O]

So you come from a long line of Democrats? ;)

[U S Army EOD]

You have absolutely no idea in Hades what you are talking about. All contracts are bid within the private sector. There are Cost Plus Incentive Fees, Cost Plus Award Fees, etc. type contracts.

I worked in the Munitions part of defense contracts for 25 years and the NASA contracts are bid the same way. You have latched on to something you don't understand and apparently can't be explained to you even in simple terms.

Tell me all you know about the Vanguard project.

[Sloth]

Hmmm... if they were political, they'd probably have been Democrats, but I think they were barely aware of what happened outside the bounds of their farm.

[Analyzing Inconsistencies]

Sure, right after you tell me what you've just posted has to do with ANYTHING that I've posted. You were fishing for an excuse to insult, but you slipped off the logical boat in the process. Life preserver, anyone?

[U S Army EOD]

Pester somebody else, some things just can't be fixed.
