I found Mike Brown's book on the subject fascinating, actually, and not just because I used to live in Altadena and knew the places in town that he was talking about.

Right. The next line in the movie is, "Your winnings, sir."

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he never thought we'd just find him pathetic, not convincing or shocking or anything. And I suspect any lurkers around here felt the same way.

Thanks for a great start to my morning. And people say I don't have a sense of humour!

You know what's a distinguishing feature about a photo's being taken on the Moon? Practically everything.
ETA--Also, I'm not sure I have any pictures of myself from my one and only trip to Washington, D.C. Does that mean I didn't go?

Pretty hard to read it any other way I think. I dispute both clauses of that sentence.

Yeah, I can't be helpful with the technical end of things, but the fact that Proboards did this means I think it's time to move.

I am more qualified because I am more thoughtful. I am not easily fooled. The scientists are gullible. This is ridiculous. Say you're a scientist who uses the Apollo data to send up a satellite. You are not a government scientist and it is not a government satellite. Are you saying that you in your ignorance are better equipped to know that the data is wrong than the scientist whose satellite would fall down? Whereas scientists know what the data is supposed to look like, and you're listening to the most gullible people of all--hoax believers.

I am not familiar in any detail with . . . . . . Anything at all about Apollo, which is obvious because I believe the King of the Sock Puppets sounds rational.

Well, and it's not as though Connally knew what was happening behind him anyway! He can't have seen when Kennedy was shot, because he wasn't looking at Kennedy. He was looking ahead, not behind.

One, he is the World's Greatest Detective, in uncovering something that no one else could. He's Batman?

I know this means you need to get the timing pretty exact and any delays in launch would create further delays, but why would have it meant not getting to the moon by the end of the decade? The fun thing is that I've read that NASA was perfectly willing to quibble about what "the end of this decade" meant if they had to. They were willing to get into the "there's no year zero" argument and go to 1970 if they had to.

How do you reconcile that with all the evidence that they couldn't have been? The discussion of current events, the accurate weather pictures, and so forth?

You aren't supporting colorization, are you? Heathen!

Personally, I think banning Playdor was absolutely the right thing to do. He was rude and unresponsive. I'd stopped reading his posts some time ago, because there was no point. If we keep people around as "chew toys," do the rules mean anything?
