Hi Guys
I recall reading that the Gemini-Titan hit 6-7g at peak acceleration, but have been unable to find any links to support this. Can anyone provide a link?
Cheers

I got through half a dozen posts before the stupidity made my brain hurt. Perhaps Jack is senile, as it would make sense of his posts.

I think you're all forgetting that the Iron Sky people are paid NASA disinformation agents....

I believe Armstrong actually was third or fourth on the list. Didn't Armstrong only get the gig because of the swapping of Apollos 8 and 9 - Armstrong being the backup commander crew of 9, which was to have been the first circumlunar flight?

Whilst reading the following Wikipedia article about Frank Borman, commander of Apollo 8: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_BormanI came across an unverified claim that Deke Slayton offered the chance of commanding the first Moon landing to attempt to Borman and then McDivvit, who both refused. I have never heard that claim before, Deke didn't mention it in his autobiography. McDivvit was at odds with Slayton and Shephard and stood very little chance of flying after 9. Does anyone have anything more on the subject? Also, any of the Apollo Commanders were certainly capable of making the first moon landing, but were there ever any serious contenders other than Armstrong / Conrad?

That's a really neat idea and it would be a great addition to any Apollo resources, but the tinfoil hat wearing lunatics (pun intended) wouldn't accept ANY evidence from anyone.

A great article on the Soviet Moon landing attempt, and when you consider that Russia was an barely-industrialised agrarian economy 50 years before Sputnik it makes it their achievements all the more impressive. www.fas.org/spp/eprint/lindroos_moon1.htm

Just noticed that the CSM at the start of the trailer, which is flying towards the moon, doesn't have a LM attached.

How long will it be before Jarrah White and the rest of the crazies start using stills from this film / trailer as proof of whatever BS theory they're using to trash Apollo?

There's a new Transformers movie in the making, and it involves Apollo 11: trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/transformersdarkofthemoon/High art it aint, and technically correct in it's depiction of Apollo it almost certainly won't be, but I'm still intrigued enough to want to see the depiction of Apollo 11 / lunar conditions on the big screen.

How many of us will watch that film, and just to loudly pick apart any technical inaccuracies, I wonder? Fixed that for you. I look forwards to the thread discussing those inaccuracies, next year

I came across this movie advert and it looks intriguing: www.apollo18movie.net/The viral advertising for this movie is starting to gather speed, so I suspect it won't be long before increasing numbers of HB and other assorted "truthers" who know how to copy-paste will be down here with "proof". ApolloHoax.net consider yourself warned

That was brilliant. If only the HBs could appreciate your logic and fine thinking.
