Vote in the Poll

[spacedog]

Just in case anyone thinks reality is determined by majority vote, cast your votes in the poll.

I won't try to influence anyone's vote by revealing that I voted "Real".

There is a radiation belt around the Earth called the 'Van Allen Belt'... If any space faring vessel attempted to pass through this, the integral structure of the vessel would either melt or the whole outfit would explode.

The moon's atmosphere is claimed to not have an atmosphere nor gravity. If this is the case, then that flag should not be waving around. There is also another photo of the astronaut's boot print on the moon's surface. Since there was no gravity nor atmosphere to keep the terrain forming the print in place no one should have been able to take a photo of it.

And yet 24% were agreeing..... Seriously, it almost makes me wonder if I wrote an argument that Bush had used rainbows and pink unicorns to demolish the WTC how many I'd get agreeing.

So now the moon has no gravity. This doesn't affect the astronauts' ability to stand on the surface, oh no. But it does affect the boot prints.

This is sounding a lot like the "If there's no gravity, why don't they float away?" "Heavy boots." argument.

And I always thought it had surface gravity roughly equal to 1/6 of earth's, so I learned something at that site.

Shortly after I posted, there were 1399 votes. There are now 17 more, all of them "real". So if they are all because of my post here, then I will pat myself on the back 17 times.

102 times. Remember, the Moon only has 1/6th the gravity so you have to compensate for the lower gravity.

I wonder what kind of outfit "spacefaring" vessels wear? Apparently the kind that are made of explodium.

[chew]

Explodium? Is that an allotrope of unobtainium?

Well I just went and voted yes, so you can add one more pat on the back.

Their naysayer has to be one of the dumbest I've read, I mean saying that the VAB would kill astronauts is dumb, saying it would melt spacecraft is epic stupidity...

Jack White's "Periodic Coffee Table - A Guide to Thee Elementals" states that it is an unstable Isotope of Blammium, and is usually used for Con-Trolled Demolition, as it leaves no residue.

Allegedly...

This quote is from the "top hoax" article:

If the public had known the secret, it would have somehow leaked it.

I actually like this tongue-in-cheek hoax article the best:

If you look closely at the NASA pictures, there are shadows in the background that are pointing in different directions. This is odd for two reasons. Firstly, there's only one light source, and secondly, the Shadows never actually went to the moon, although they did several tours with Cliff Richard of British seaside resorts.

Ironically, I'm going to see Cliff Richard and the Shadows tonight (I had bought the ticket for my mum, but she did her back in and can't go) so I will have to note whether they are all pointing in the same direction or not and report back on it.

It's rather sad when pro-apollo essays get their facts wrong, The top "Real" Essay has that Apollo 12 was followed by the Rover Camera....

Has anyone else read her bio??

I still enjoy a good Robert Munsch or Dr. Seuss book

Mentality level seems about right.

I was fairly interested in Science Fiction and I wrote a Sci-Fi short story for my Canadian Literature class

And she just wrote some additional Sci-Fi without even realizing.

I hope in the near future that my novel will be sitting on the shelves of book stores in Canada.

God help us all!

Hey, I like Munsch and Dr. Seuss!

Try reading "Fox in Socks" outloud - even better, read it to a youngster - you'll have them in stitches!
