Until you go to an astronaut appearance, then, is there any point at all in discussing your claims? . That's a bit like saying I shouldn't post messages on an IndyCar forum if I have never met an Indycar driver. I will have a think about it though, it might be an interesting experience. |

Thanks for the link, although it seems it is an event purely for obtaining autographs and photos, rather than a Q & A session.
I doubt very much that Buzz Aldrin would wish to discuss suggestions that the moon landings were faked, and as I do not particularly fancy being assaulted, I think I'll give it a miss. I've heard he has quite a punch for an old fella.

I suppose I have only one more question to ask you: What would convince you that Apollo happened as NASA said it happened? In fact, the answer to this is simpler than you might think, in theory at least. If any of the twelve was capable of looking me in the eye and telling me that they had walked on the surface of the Moon, then I would believe it. I understand that they all have far better things to do with their time than to chew the fat with some Margate truck driver, but there's the answer. |

G'day Margamatix I was wondering if you'd like to return to the Rocks thread and discuss my latest post, please. Cheers I didn't start that thread, and I have not speculated on the origin of the rocks in question, other than to point out that rocks *could* be collected robotically. I have made no suggestion that the rocks are artificial for example, so it is pointless giving me reasons why they might not be. I have not, and will not present myself as an "expert" on Moon geology. So I really don't see any point in my returning to it. |

Honestly you're not doing a very good job of showing yourself to be open-minded, Megamatix. The name's Margamatix. I guess observation isn't your strong point? |

I suggest you select a particular thread and develop it. Why did you start a new one then? |

Is this thread aimed at any particular member?

Hello Colin, welcome along.
I'm quite new myself, but everyone here has been so nice to me, and have made me feel very much at home, even though I disagree with the general Zeitgeist.
Hope you enjoy it.

Not just images slip by, either (allegedly). In the film "Lion King, the lion is called Simba, the meercat is called Timon, and the warthog is called Pumbaa.
There is a certain logic in this, up to a point. "Simba" is Swahili (iirc) for Lion, and "Timon" means meercat.
Pumbaa however is Swahili for "Smegma"
I heard this when I worked on a roadshow for Disney's UK video distributor, and I can't vouch for the truth or otherwise of it. I can't find anything on the net about it either (although I haven't tried too hard......)

The world's oldest standing mechanical roller-coaster is in Altoona, PA, and was built in 1902, see www.ridezone.com/rides/coasters/leapthedips/ but they have their origins in ice-slides which were popular in Russia from the 1700s onwards. |

Regarding Margamatix's avatar: I... concluded that it's the laundry of an aspiring politician thrown on the rails at a horse-racing track. And there's an annoyed English Sheepdog at bottom right with the top of its head and ears partly covered by the rose-type thingy that politicians wear. Furthermore, because it is perfectly clear that the picture is that of a politician's laundry and therefore anyone who does not agree with me must be mentally deranged, I do not have to prove anything to anyone and should someone come up with evidence to the contrary I shall simply repeat and repeat and repeat - as if I'm a drunk - that it is perfectly clear that the picture is that of a politician's laundry. So there. It's generally considered to be "bad form" to reply to your own messages. |

Incidentally, Margamatix, what's your avatar a picture of? I just can't work out what it is and I'm getting more curious by the minute. :-) Cheers     It is the UK's oldest roller-coaster, built in 1920 and currently under threat of demolition, because changes in UK planning law have made the site attractive to developers. Apparently, we don't have quite enough branches of Tesco yet (Tesco is our Wal-Mart)...... Along with many other people I am campaigning to preserve this beautiful piece of Edwardian engineering. Our website is here... www.savedreamland.co.ukWish us luck........... |
