I have been watching Hoagland since he narrated the Apollo moon landings. He was very good then. His program now is reasonable for one who sees our actual scientific knowledge of the universe to be mostly gaps. He points to incoming data and asks what that might be. His suggestions are intended to be outrageous so some might take a look for themselves.
I appreciate that aspect and function about him, too.
And, he is rather good at that! LOL.
I love to poke TRADITIONS that have become fossilized as unalterable dogma . . . poke em in the butt or eye as necessary.
Last night, Hoagland kept responding to George needling him over a ‘credible source like his wife’ telling him she’d seen a UFO land int he backyard with, “I’d investigate”. George was pushing for ‘I’d believe her’, but Richard wouldn’t go there. He was trying so hard to keep the posture of ‘objective scientist’.
