Fun facts you have here.
Now for some sad stories...
Wouldn't you know it? I pointed out Gemini 11's venture into the lower regions of the VABs to our "pal" Mr. 9, and he claims it might have been faked too, given the radiation data from both it and Gemini 10 (the latter has higher reading).
He and his buddy are both classic examples of Jay's observation on HBs: radiation is a scary bogey man to them.

That's because they watched season 2 of '24' and saw what it did to George Mason.

I don't know if this strictly refers to HBs or if it refers to people who think the moon landings were real but aliens on the moon were hidden from the public, but I found this at www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta453.htm: They were unable to find "any reference"? Did they try actually reading the entire speech? Or even just the few lines before the one they quoted?

Could the 'other things' be: ...The exploration of space... ...that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding... ...we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and in industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation... ...space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours....www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Archives/Reference+Desk/Speeches/JFK/003POF03SpaceEffort09121962.htmJust wonderin'. EDIT: Note the term 'disinformation artist' on the zetatalk page. I like that better than 'agent'. I wouldn't even have to change the DA lettering on my badge. ;D

I didn't know disinformation artists/agents had badges. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?

And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.Link
