I once even repaired a crucial prop, onstage, in character.
... no doubt backed up by quick-thinking colleagues in the cast: "Forsooth, good sir, 'tis fortunate that you returned from Verona with duct tape!"

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.

It is a little-known fact that victory over the Spanish Armada was only possible because the Royal Navy had Duct Tape, and Medina Sidonia's fleet did not.
When Sir Francis Drake's Revenge had her mast "perished with shot", guess what held it up?
And guess what held the tillers on course during the fireship attack on Calais?
Duct Tape played such an important part that Elizabeth's spy master decreed that it "Be kepte the closest secrete of the Realm" for 300 years...
;D

Luckily the play was set in modern times and so a cordless screw gun wasn't anachronistic. But it was pretty hard to keep composure with the technical director laughing his [anatomical reference] off up in the control booth.

Awright, fellas, raise your hand and repeat after me:
I'm a man...
But I can change...
If I have to...
I guess.

My favorite inherent contradition appears across various conspiracy beliefs; That the fakery is good enough to fool the experts, yet lousy enough to be obvious to the layman. Including at least one Noble Prize winning who examined the rocks. |

#1 Wehner Von Braun collected lunar meteorties when he was in Antartica, because they have the same chemical and mineral composition as actual moon rocks.
#2 NASA never went to the moon, so how do we know what the acutal composition is?
BTW, He went to Antartica in 1967 and it wasn't until 1970 that the Russian brought back

It gets better. It was the Japanse that determined that Antartica would be a good place to find meteorites, in the late 70's. The First lunite was found in 1979, and the first one to be indentified as such was in 1982, because of it's similarities to the Apollo samples.

NASA: Order the uncut Post Flight Press Conference footage at their site. OT: I would like to see that. BTW, isn't it free to the public? That is what I have heard. And it makes Bart look bad to resell something that is -- or at least should be -- free. |

Bill, the video is free in that one may use it without any liability for copyright. However, to order it from NASA, one must pay the appropriate duplication, search, and shipping fees. The upcoming Spacecraftfilms Complete Apollo 11 set is scheduled to have the entire conference included (without Sibrel's vox telling us what the astronauts are thinking). It will work out cheaper to order from them than to get a VHS dub from NASA.

NASA also visited Iceland a few times. Some of the moonscape backdrop photos NASA used were from Iceland.

You know what, I think moonman may have a point. I've done some quick research on Iceland. Check out the following photo... an Icelandic cathedral?  I think not. It's obviously a hangar for a space shuttle. Check the next two photos...  Lunar landscape or Icelandic panorama? OBVIOUSLY they are the same picture. Any idiot can see that the features are identical. They chose Iceland because you can't see stars in the sky at Iceland. And it's also both very cold (ice-fields) and very hot (volcanos), thus duplicating the icy lunar inferno surface perfectly.  They even pretended they found an alien on the moon, and the only place on Earth it can survive is in Iceland.  This is a lie. The alien is quite clearly Bjork. ANOTHER NASA LIE. This is PROOF that we never went to the moon. I rest my case. Done, and done. Can the last person off this website please remember to turn out the lights? |

They also visited Texas and Maryland.

Then you should be able to show pictures of terrain in Iceland that matches Apollo photograph backgrounds exactly (not just superficially). But you'll have a problem with that because the Apollo backgrounds are provably not backdrops.
