I cut down hoaxes. I eat my lunch. I go to the ALSJ. On Wednesdays I go to Icke's, and say, "What the hey?"

Go away for a weekend and look what I come home to, cultural degradation. Where is Mary Whitehouse when you need her?

I've heard this one before. They claim that the rockets only work because of sound propagation. They are only riding sound waves. Since there is no medium in a vaccuum for sound propagation they become less affective the higher the altitude.

A claim that is clearly bunk, unless they are really claiming that every single space launch since Sputnik was a hoax.

How would a rocket be able to travel faster than the speed of sound if they are "riding sound waves"?

Reminds me of the old Maxell armchair ad.(Image is linked because it is fairly large.) A charitable view of that claim is that the person who said it ignoring several hundred years of the expansion in knowledge about how the world works in favor of some homegrown intuitive description. There are many less charitable views on motives that should be examined.

Since there is no medium in a vacuum for sound propagation they become less affective the higher the altitude. Rockets work best in a vacuum. Part of a rocket's thrust is produced by gas pressure at the nozzle exit. If the pressure of the gas exiting the nozzle is exactly equal to the air pressure outside, there is no pressure thrust -- in this case all the thrust comes from the momentum of the exhaust. However, if the exhaust gas pressure is higher than the outside air pressure, extra thrust is produced equal to the pressure difference times the area of the nozzle exit. Therefore, the lower the outside air pressure, the greater the thrust. Thrust is greatest when the outside pressure is equal to zero, i.e. a vacuum.

How they explained satellite sights, GPS, satellite phones, weather tracking, is something I tried to find out but they just kpet claiming "it's all fake."

There was a guy on the David Icke forum that claimed that only low Earth orbit was possible. His replacement for geostationary satellites was a vast constellation of networked leo satellites that switched on and off when they came into view. When it was pointed out that many thousands of satellites would be needed and that it would mean that you could essentially point the receiving dish anywhere and pick up a signal he wasn't phased and just said "somebody would figure it out". His reasoning for why anything above leo was impossible had something to do with the vacuum tube. Supposedly in his mind a vacuum tube proved that EM radiation couldn't travel through the Van Allen belts. I think he was also the guy that believed that nuclear power and weapons don't exist and Hiroshima and Nagasaki were faked with multiple tons of secretly planted TNT.

Oh goody! Let's lock him in a room with this guy.

Ask him, if the Atom Bomb wouldn't work, why they simply didn't use Bat Bombs instead? Why FAKE a bomb, when there was an alternative hanging in the wings, literally. Ask him how France makes almost 80% of it's electricity. Ask him if he was dropped on his cranium as a child.
