Why I suspect Apollo was a hoax.

I don't think Neil has ever said anything in favor of the flat Earth nonsense.

That's true, but Traddy-boy did hint at believing that the sublimators didn't work. Now that's a fairly rare belief and one that's almost a "trade-mark" of Neil Baker. However, Tradosaurus also had a bad case of crank-magnetism, so he could have picked that up on his travels through the mire.

If we are talking about Neil Baker, then I believe he is enough of a wind-up merchant to go the flat earth route even if be didn't beleive in it, for no other reason than to troll here.

That was my thought too.

Apparently his local newspaper, the Santa Barbara Independent, is "Zionist Controlled "

Make of that what you will ...

He's clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed.....

More realistically he (Neil Baker) was clearly once a well educated engineer with a track record in various high-tech employments. Something then happened, either gradually or quickly that caused him to decline into what we now see. I'd be guessing at to what caused it, but it could be many things. Alcohol/substance abuse, psychological or emotional trauma or a physical problem (tumour? early onset Alzheimers?) are all possibilities. Whatever it was, it did for what appeared to be a successful individual and that I find particularly sad, especially if the root cause was something treatable.
I'm assuming that Tradosasurus was a sock-puppet of Baker? If not, and if his claim to be a degreed engineer is true, then it looks like he has undergone a similar process.

The mind is a terrible thing to lose.

He has his own basket of issues.

He would have picked that up by reading Baker's first post in this thread.  He would have ignored subsequent replies as being "NASA propaganda."   He would have spelled NASA with a Z but the forum software not longer allows that.

True and thank goodness. I was very weary of looking at trad's consistent and purposeful misspelling.  Thanks LO!

  I've been away from you guys for a while, but, well, but... daaaaaaaamn! 

Wow, and back to Mercury status to prove it, too.

Talk about the thread that wouldn't die. Fuelled with stupid with life support from retarded.

I haven't yet ploughed through all of this monster of a thread to get up to date, but it has had its lighter moments: the ISS is an inflatable? That brightened my mood, I can tell you.

I didn't know stupid came in jumbo economy family-sized packs.

Welcome back, Dragonblaster. Yeah, we've had some 'good' times here.

Stupid comes in every size, variety, quantity and packaging you could possibly imagine.

Never forget the immortal words of Albert Einstein...

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."


nor those of the well known science fiction writer Harlan Ellison...

"The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity."

Especially with the internet driven "critical thinkers"

Ironically, the next ISS module will be inflatable.

Nicely framed with Orion & Taurus.  It was nice of them to arrainge that for you!

Ain't that the troof? The smell of stupid wafts from the screen when I look at some of the posts in this thread.

That's clearly a fake garden.
