I've had to sign privacy, non-disclosure, and security agreements for jobs beginning back when I was still in high school.
I'm bound by non-disclosure agreements for my regular job, to protect other companies' proprietary data. I'm bound by Export Control protections, and unclassified-but-sensitive protections, and the like, and that doesn't even take into account the provisions to protect classified data as an ordinary part of my job. As a volunteer FF/EMT, I'm bound by HIPAA and Official Use Only provisions not to release department internal information or patient information.
None of this is in any way unusual or a cover for nefarious activity. None of it, in fact, would prevent me from declaiming illegal activity by the government. Nor would it have stopped the Apollo engineers I've worked with.
Colby is just a nut with a web page, and has no responsibility to anyone except apparently to cough up a few bucks a month to pay someone for hosting his drivel.

I do volunteer work in retail You volunteer to work in retail? Are you crazy? Yes, I'm crazy, but that's another story. I volunteer at Ten Thousand Villages. We sell a variety of products from all over the world and it's interesting and I like to tell the customers about us. Most of my co-workers are nice people and I get a 20% percent discount on things like fair trade chocolate and colourful Indian jewelry. www.tenthousandvillages.ca Sorry to be off-topic. Anyway, I'm not sure Colby's site costs him anything. I thought those Geocities pages with the Yahoo ads were free.

Basically, Colby is either a con artist, an idiot, or mentally disturbed. He knows nothing about reality. False Dicotomy, He could be more than one of these things.

Sam Colby is a nut with about half a dozen websites, each nuttier than the first. This is the guy that believes that the LRV had pnemunic tyres which would have blown up in a vacuum and that NASA has somehow secrectly erased all evidence of these tyres and replaced it with the mesh ones after he blew the whistle on the matter.

Are you Mennonite? I married into a Mennonite family - good, decent and honest folk. My wife works at a Mennonite Credit Union. My father-in-law was a member of MCC for many years. Ten Thousand Villages has great stuff, but I haven't been to one for awhile. Oh, sorry too for being off-topic.

Ten Thousand Villages is a program of MCC, but I'm not a Mennonite. Some of my ancestors on my father's side were though. They came to Canada during the American Revolution.

Don't forget that Colby also ignores the fact that the space shuttle's tires (or tyres, for our friends elsewhere! ) are inflated to higher pressures that he claims would explode on the rover. Has anyone posed this issue to Colby? Bet he ignores it each and every time.

Consider this: If someone showed you images of the training facilities for the space shuttle, such as the simulators and the training pool, and that if the person that showed you such images told you this was evidence of the shuttle being fake, would you believe them? If not, why not? Such is the case with the website you present.

Obviously any Claim by NASA about the Shuttle will be fake if necessary. My bikes tyres might be harder to deny...

Interesting really ... Sam Colby calls this site Apollo Reality, and he appears to know absolutely nothing about both of those things. That's a pretty good batting average.

I think inconceivable is getting a pretty good ROSP (Return On Single Post). One sentence with a link, no opinion expressed, yielding two pages of discussion.
I ask again - inconceivable, what do you think?

He doesn't really seem interested in discussing, merely dropping crap an flying on.

Perhaps, well apart from my bad spelling. (it's dic hiotomy and thus would be tric hotomy)
