I didn't know Patrick got a sex change. Anyway, his latest on the JREF....JFK knew the Apollo missions were faked. How he "knew" this more than 5 years after his death was not explained.

Do you understand the difference between not knowing exactly where something is and not knowing at all where something is? I was just thinking...why does it matter so much that the Eagle couldn't "instantly" be located?? The LRO sure knew where to "find" the A11 landing site, and we have the images to demonstrate that fact.

Irrelevent..this isn't a democracy, where a "vote" somehow "counts" as something. If you are going to "side" with the OP, then be prepared to explain "away" every single image, every single returned sample...and explain just how all the scientists of the world were fooled. Are you up to that task??

When interviewed in 1970 Armstrong said he was certain there would be moon bases established in his lifetime. If that is not a contradiction and moreover a joke of a statement, I do not know what is. Oh, don't be absurd...Armstrong not being able to "predict the future" is meaningless. A lot of people thought we'd have Moon Bases by now... so what?? Do you have an actual argument to make, or will it be more of this "type" of stuff??

The Apollo 9 capsule is on display at the Aerospace Museum here in San Diego. If there's something about its heat shield in particular you'd like to see, I'd be happy to go there and collect some pictures or even make measurements (assuming I can see or access whatever it is you want). I appreciate the offer very much, but it is completely unnecessary...please see my post, #10 in the Lunar Module in London Science Museum: Exposed! thread... ...and again, thanks for the offer.

Sure. And Apollo 7, of course, which also remained in earth orbit. Darn...knew I let one "slip" by me. So one would think that there would be more shield abrated away on the Moon missions vs. LEO missions...at least that is my "common sense" response... Problem is, "common sense" can be deceiving... Thanks...

While browsing the locations of the Apollo CM's around the country a question occurred to me...one that I can't recall being addressed anywhere before...
Correct me if I am wrong, but I imagine the heat shields of Apollo's 8, and 10-17 were abrated away in similar manner because they were exposed to similar heating.
But is it the same for Apollo 9*? It "only" had to return from Earth orbit, and not from the Moon, so wouldn't it's heat shield be less abrated?
eta...*also, the Skylab CM's, and the joint Soviet mission CM.

What would they say about the real Apollo capsule which is on display in the science museum in Los Angeles? (Yes, I got a picture!) Speaking of which, here's a picture of the Apollo 9 CM as it is displayed at the San Diego Aerospace Museum....with some weirdo guy. Attachments:

Fatty has now demonstrated one thing quite well in his discussion at the JREF: the wisdom of the "please answer the direct question" policy at the BAUT. (Maybe that is why he hasn't posted there in a week?) Why abide by "restrictive" rules, when you can find a "home" on the JREF...where practically anything goes. It's where they all go...anyone remember Michael Mozina? He is thriving there...

I deleted the Rene comments because they were disrespectful to him and his friends and family. Here's an idea, a-hole, instead of trolling that, accept the fact that I want to respect the dead. Why would you respect them when they are dead, when they didn't do anything to deserve respect when they were alive???

Honestly, I do believe they went to the moon, fully. Ya know what, I don't believe you. Why must you fight Jarrah's "battles"? ...and it is completely irrelevant what Cernan says, "I" give a **** about it. It's not hard to "figure out". Consider where you are. Think of all those here who have lived the space program for the past 50 years...then some ignorant jerk comes along and without any evidence whatsoever says that all those amazing accomplishments were a lie. That is what you are "defending"...the "right" to ignorance. Not so noble a "cause" is it.

Resorting to personal attacks and insults is only the indication of a VERY poor argument. If Svector needs to use this tactics, he clearly does not belong on the forums and should not be taken seriously by either side. I can easily imagine how Svector became enraged trying to deal with a personality such as "poor ol" Jarrah. Sure he lost control. I've done the same on numerous occasions, but that does not change the fact that Jarrah is wrong. ...but lets reverse things for a bit here, ok? Lets look at Jarrah's behavior regarding personal attacks and insults... What in the HELL do you call it when an obscure internet "personality" characterizes the entire astronaut corp as liars. ...Or is it only a personal attack if it's against you or Jarrah?

Since my last post is appearently being ignored, I guess the answer to this question... Is anyone here "getting" this? ...is no. I guess that I was in error to think that "like minded" individuals posted to this board...bottom line is I don't belong here. This will be my last post.

I fully agree with Jay here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For what?, For steadfastly maintaining that religious beliefs of any kind are irrational? Don't be silly. Yes...truthers irrationally deny the facts concerning the events of 911...there are no rational truther arguments. Perhaps he was, but that's not my point..the difference being that there ARE rational arguments to be made against religions and religious beliefs...the same can not be said for truther arguments denying the events of 911. Is anyone here "getting" this?

It doesn't seem to matter what one is arguing about -- religion, science, history, whatever. I can agree with that as long as the criticism is irrational, and I'm certain that there are more than a fair share of people who irrationally criticize religious beliefs, but there are many, myself included, who have very rational criticisms regarding religious beliefs, so bringing religion into this conversation only serves to "muddy" the waters. In my opinion, of course...
