Lost Bird Proves Apollo Inauthenticity

[gillianren]

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.

Nice one carpediem.

I suspect the current absence of Doctor Socks from his known haunts means only that he is currently pontificating at some other forum, playing expert with all the the knowledge he didn't have until he came here.

A newish user over at Delusional Idiots going by the handle "oooooooooo" recently asked

It is often stated that the soviets would have known if the "eagle" had not landed.
I am interested how this would have been possible when you consider the Lick observatory could not find its target during the mission.

Said user then got all uppity when it was suggested the line of questioning was familiar.

He's been pretty busy on JREF lately. As Patrick1000 he's been excoriating NASA for it's "sloppy" work on the Apollo 13 investigation.

This prompted me to go back and reread parts of the Cortland report. I was actually pretty impressed by the thoroughness of their forensic work.

Although I'm an electrical engineer, not a forensic engineer, we speak the same language and know and apply the same laws of physics. I've learned a lot by reading about their methodical methods of reasoning out cause and effect.

It's been good stuff for me, too. I think any of us in the technical professions are going to run into situations where they need to figure out what failed and how it failed. Learning even just a little bit about the tools and philosophy of forensic engineering would seem to be a win.
