Jay's Discovery Channel show in Germany

[papageno]

JayUtah took part in the production of a Discovery Channel show debunking the Moon Hoax.
The show just finished broadcasting on the German Channel Kabel 1.

I'm watching this right now, good to be able to put a face to Jay's name!

Great work Jay!

Actually I've lost 20 pounds since that show, and my hair is longer now. My voice is still high and squeaky.

who: "Required: One credible and reputable astrophysicist who will prove, in a peer-reviewed document, that a man can go through the Van Allen Radiation Belt unscathed. Anyone know of one?"

JayUtah: "Yes, Dr. James Van Allen. He has specifically repudiated the hoax theory."

who: "Maybe i should have been more clear. Apart from Allen..."

Yes it was by a relative of mine who's an AB. Some HB asked her for the name of an astrophysicist she didn't know so asked on here. Once she asked for a name apart form Van Allen (which the HB obviously wouldn't except) people thought she was a HB and started accusing her of things like moving the goal posts etc.

This was a very poor show and those involved should apologise for jumping to conclusions.

Surely it could have been avoided if she had changed the manner of how she had asked the question though? She probably hadn't intended it to come across the way it did, but it certainly came across to me as a pompous HB question (and everyone else evidently), hence the responses.

Hogwash. The sin was committed by those who posted the question without its context, then tried to restore the context after the responses were already committed and hold the responders accountable for what had been withheld from them. A very cheap shot.
