Why are you posting all of these counter-factual threads?

Why are you reading them?

I worked for RCA and GE during the Gemini and Apollo missions. I drove into the Cape every morning along with tens of thousands of other workers. I had many friends involved in various technical and operational aspects of these projects. To suggest that it was all a hoax is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of physicists, engineers, technicians, and other trades, both national and international, who worked for 30 years to accomplish one of the great scientific feats of the century.

The Ghost of Christmas Present, in Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ said, “...this boy is Ignorance, this girl is Want. Beware them both, but most of all beware this boy.”

Oh, thank you for clearing this up for me. I was beginning to think I was crazy believing in a round earth and all.

[Lijahsbubbe]

"Don't waste your time going from this planet to that planet,"

Words of the wise. I gave that up a long time ago. Especially after my visit to the planet of Sharona.

The earth may be round, but apparently it's still Hollow.

[LifeOrGoods?]

Are those man antlers? Sheesh.

[LifeOrGoods?]

Well, at least I’m still walking on it.

[P-Marlowe]

Well, at least I’m still walking on it.

Yeah, but you'd better watch your step if you are walking near the North Pole.

My Vedic reference and guide for all things lunar:

SRI SYADASTI SYADAVAKTAVYA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADASTI CAVAKTAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVATAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVAKTAVYASCA commonly called just SRI SYADASTI

His name is Sanskrit, and means: ``All affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.’’ He is an Indian Pundit and Prince, born of the Peyotl Tribe, son of Gentle Chief Sun Flower Seed and the squaw Merry Jane. Patron to psychedelic type Discordians. Patron of the Season of Confusion. Holyday: May 31. NOTE: Sri Syadasti should not be confused with Blessed St. Gulik the Stoned, who is not the same person but is the same Apostle.

Blessed St. Gulik the Stoned

I think I went to school with that guy.

Back when the “Apollo hoax” thing first hit, I contemplated some of the basic physics behind a 1/6 g simulation in a 1 g environment. Assuming you relied on natural motion, you would have to slow time down by sqrt(1/6) or about 1/2.4, to get the proper appearance of vertical acceleration.

That is, a simple film of a ball dropped from rest in an earth studio could be slowed by sqrt(1/6) and be indistinguishable in principle from a record of the event in a lunar studio.

However, this means that all velocities would have to be scaled UP by 2.4 in the simulation, compared to their appearance in the film. For example, for the dust to achieve the recorded height, it would have to have 2.4 times the apparent initial velocity in the “actual simulation”, assuming of course it is carried out in vacuo.

The physical demands of this speed-up on the hoax astronauts would of course be extreme, and indeed impossible to meet.

[Politicalmom]

Is this a caucus thread?

[Smokin' Joe]

At least the astronauts did not block the escalator at the airport...

That man never landed on the Moon is the thinking of deep religious convictions. As such, how can we criticize them as being utter crock? We have no right to criticize anyones religious beliefs. That's the ticket.

The Vedas state that the moon is 800,000 miles farther from the earth than the sun. Therefore, even if we accept the modern calculation of 93 million miles as the distance from the earth to the sun, how could the "astronauts" have traveled to the moon--a distance of almost 94 million miles--in only 91 hours (the alleged elapsed time of the Apollo 11 moon trip)? This would require an average speed of more than one million miles per hour for the spacecraft, a patently impossible feat by even the space scientists' calculations.

They took a shortcut.

To the MOON!

Well, I’m sure that Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin (Rest in Peace), Chris Craft, and Gene Kranz will be qite surprised to hear this news.

[stockpirate]

There no end to insanty on this planet.

Jesus warned of false leaders.

I did hear that we retrurned with a bunch of green cheese too.
