Canadian ‘First Man’ actor defends omitting American flag planting on moon:
American Thinker ^

Posted on 08/30/2018 1:02:34 PM PDT by RevelationDavid

...just more of the same anti-American crap....

The late Neil Armstrong’s 1969 trip to the moon may have been “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” but it was also a massive achievement for the United States.

One of Armstrong’s first orders of business was to proudly plant the American flag, after all.

But Ryan Gosling, the Canadian actor who plays Armstrong in “First Man,” Hollywood’s rendition of the moon landing, told the Telegraph the magic moment was intentionally omitted from the big screen because Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.”

Trump could make the trade deal contingent on adding a flag planting scene.

I sure hope not!

No need to lower ourselves to the level of the little man governing a country which was once a loyal friend, or a delusional baby goose hack actor (whom no one I know has ever heard of) blathering about delusional revisionist history.

Lies of omission are as disgusting as lies of commission.

The certain utter commercial failure in the U.S. of this work of fiction will adequately speak for us.

Funny how an American man on an American mission “transcends countries and borders” but any other $s#!thole of a country does something of a lesser nature and it is blasted to their pagan heavens about the great “contribution”...

Your posts are kind of like hari krishnas at the airport. Cute and naïve at first, then annoying when you don't go away.

When those who promote propaganda (wittingly or unwittingly) have no cogent response to independently verifiable facts, they resort to ridicule.

It does not change truth. It merely supports the supposition that they have no ammo left.

Stick to empirical data.

You have the ability to reproduce the “rigidity in space” phenomenon I have described.

If you will not, then you are committing to being willfully ignorant.

Seems to me your the one committing to ignorance. I have been in the space business for going on 30 years. I have been in aviation for 40 years. I have seen the curvature of the Earth from high altitude, watched satellites in orbit that followed the laws of physics we accept as common knowledge. I’ve had dinners with two of the men who walked on the moon and worked with many others in the Astronaut corp. Anyone can observe the rotation of the Earth on its axis about the north star in just a few hours at night.

I am not old enough to have worked on the moon missions, but some here on this forum did. I don’t see a single person subscribing to your “theory” of static Earth, though I have run across one other moonbat here that believes it was all faked. You both wacked.

God gave us brains to study his creation and appreciate it, not stick our heads in the sand of myth.

If you want to actually understand why your interpretation of the Bible is wrong, and why the Bible is NOT inconsistent with what we know about the universe, I suggest you read up on some of the scientists who started out as non-believers and became convinced, through REAL science, that God was real and that His word is consistent with the science of the universe we understand. Hugh Ross might be a good starting point for you.

Other Christian scientist who contributed to the understanding of our universe include Galileo and Einstein. Even Galileo understood that the Earth rotates.

And yet you will not do the simplest of gyroscopic “rigidity in space” experiments.

You are ignoring the evidence.

As I said in our first encounter, I have worked with inertial measurement units and gyros of all kinds for the last 40 years, either in design and engineering or practical application. I know the physics involved and you have demonstrated total ignorance of that physics because you "sat in a cockpit on the ground and the nav system told you it wasn't moving" though you never acknowledge that that is relative to a rotating Earth frame and that the gyroscope and nav system are modeling that rotation in its solution.

So while I am a Christian and don't want to be rude, its obviously useless of me to try to waste time engaging you in serious thought. My response to people who espouse stupid theories is to use humor to point out your absurd comments. Your proselytizing wont change that. So here you go, and have a nice day.

One more time.

“Rigidity in space” is exhibited in a spinning purely mechanical balanced gyroscopic system (with or without an aircraft attached).

No electronics. No corrections. No algorithms.

Just a spinning gyroscope in a gimbal.

You are ignoring the evidence.

If you want to argue that the Earth is frozen in space, you are an idiot.

You are ignoring the evidence.

Ah, a flat-earther looking for evidence that the world is round, eh? I love it when you guys demand evidence.

How about this one. Great circle navigation. Specifically southern polar great circle navigation routes.

Qantas flies non-stop flights between Australia and South Africa and South America.

How is this possible if the earth is flat?

It is possible because the world is round and Qantas flies the southern polar great circle routes between these three nations.

Ol’ Dan Tucker,

You are ignoring the evidence and avoiding the question.

Your examples are “straw men” that have nothing to do with the argument and the evidence presented.

Stick to the reproducible, verifiable, empirical evidence.

Either a purely mechanical, balanced, spinning gyroscope mounted in a restraint free 3 axis gimbal on the surface of the earth exhibits “rigidity in space” or it does not.

No corrections. No electronics. No algorithms. No tricks.

This is a YES or NO question.

Which is it?

YES or NO?

What argument are you putting forth by your gyro example?

What is it you're trying to prove with this example?

Are you simply trying to get confirmation of how a gyro works, or is this part of a bigger argument?
