Just a few things to point out how much Nostradamus' quatrains have been skewed.
Henry II: "The young lion will overcome the older one, On the field of combat in a single battle;" (The guy who killed Henry II was 4 years older. It wasn't combat, it was a jousting tournament.)
Fire of London: "The blood of the just will be demanded of London, Burnt by the fire in the year 66" (The website says he actually got the year dead on. Actually, the year 66 was 1600 years before the Fire of London. If he meant the last two digits of the year then it's cheating to say he got the year exactly right. Nostradamus died in 1566, so this quatrain could have been refering to 1566.)
Franco: "Out of Castel, Franco will come the assembly," (Here's the first line of the unadulterated quatrain: "Out of Castelfranco will come the assembly," Quite a difference, eh?)

If Alius is the best the Hoaxsters have (and it probably it actually) they are in a very sorry way (they are). D'oh! Ya beat me to it!

IVon Braun was a Nazi war criminal that utilized slave labor in Nazi Germany. I'm still missing a real point. Even if von Braun was a Nazi, how does that influence his abilities in Rocketry? Evil Geniuses are only capable of making death rays, not rockets.

It is the time factor that is critical here. Radiation damage is cumulative. That is, sit in it for long periods and you will get sicker and sicker until you die. Two weeks out there is acceptable. Months or years out there is not, and in addition, the longer you spend out there the greater your chance of getting caught in a major solar particle event, which will increase your radiaiton dose vastly. But the effects are not proportional to time. From the [url=http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq5.html#nfaq5.6 ]Nuclears Weapons Archive's Effects of Nuclear Explosions FAQ[/url] But then there's cancer (from the same FAQ). So the radiation problem is still bad but not as bad as the HBs would have us believe.

3. Astronaut Charles Conrad, Jr, Skylab-2 commander, smiles happily for the camera after a hot bath in the shower in the crew quarters of the Orbital Workshop of the Skylab space station. Was that a towel in the upper right corner of the picture? Was it hanging down as it would on Earth? Gravity? mix.msfc.nasa.gov/IMAGES/HIGH/7042918.jpgWhat about the rag that is floating to his right? What about the shower curtain that is floating all around him?

12. 27 of 61 space rocket launches in 1968 were secret, and 20 of 47 were secret in 1969. That's 47 secret launches. What were they doing? Is this information correct? So ya gotta wonder if they were secret launches how do we know about them? What an irritating factoid. Some HB stumbled upon a website that listed space launches, realized some were secret missions, then threw out the numbers with nothing to back up the sinister implication. If they claim there was something sinister about these spy satellite launches then the burden is on them to prove they landed on the Moon. Which they can't because that requires more brain power than they possess.

The HB who mentioned the Roche limit is obviously laboring under the premise that the Roche limit is some sort of confluence of tidal forces at a set distance. The surface of the Earth is the inner limit, the Roche limit is the outer limit.

Throw the Chicxulub impact at him. Shouldn't the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs have disintegrated before impacting the Earth?
On second thought, don't do that. He'll just say the K-T extinction was hoaxed, too.
I have searched but couldn't find one, but does this forum have a "dumbest HB quotes" thread?

One question about the LM lifting off. How did they time it? I know Houston did most of the math and relayed info to the astronauts, but did the LM AGC compute the time to lift off based on the CSM's orbit or was the time to lift off relayed to the LM? Found some cool info related to my own question here: history.nasa.gov/afj/loressay.htm

Try searching for "apollo guidance" at the NASA Technical Reports Server. But be prepared to spent the next week there... ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp

Beautiful! I could read stuff like this all day. I didn't know all the Geminis had to do was pitch up xx degrees and wait for the target to be straight ahead to initiate the rendizvous. That is too cool. I wonder how many millions and millions of megabytes it takes to make a spacecraft pitch up? Because everybody knows computers back then had less computing power than modern calculators.
