Why not leave that to your associates at NSA?

Lame.

Each time you resort to an ad hom attack rather than present evidence and rational arguments, you only demonstrate and emphasise your dearth of evidence and rational arguments.
For some reason almost all hoaxies eventually go there.

It should give you pause.
Why is it that for over 40 years hoaxies have been unable to support their accusations with anything that could stand up against scrutiny?

A related subject: Yes, I was drawn back by amazement at the man-hours/tax dollars expended here...

Quoted just for the sheer paranoia.

I'm still waiting for your math for the heat balance of the LM.

oh, and pimping your books was a delicious hypocritical touch.

Try this:



One reply I can picture: 'Since Bean was totally ignorant of the VARB, it's only logical that he would be totally ignorant about the functioning of his spacecraft...' Might work...
Well, then, if you've got time to make a YouTube film especially for us, why not turn your attention to the Apollo rocks. You might like to start at somewhere like this: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/samples/

That's right, a place where real scientists do real science with real rocks from the Moon.

ETA: You're amazed at the man-hours [sic] and tax dollars spent here? In what way? That it's so cheap?

And hey, care to go over with me why your claim at the proper tactics of journalism is wrong?  I can name a few people who got in a lot of trouble over assuming instead of doing due diligence.

This is so typical.  Once again my hopes for a newer/better hoax believer have been dashed upon the shores of the mundane and predictable.

Why is it that Alan Bean, in an interview many years later, is the definitive authority on everything Apollo.  Is it the shared fist name perhaps?

Hi, Allan.  Welcome back to the forum.

In reply #239 I pointed out that you had been given citations explicitly mentioning trajectory design through the Van Allen belts - which you had guaranteed did not exist. 

Will you live up to your guarantee? 

If not, why not?

Do not mistake the "tax dollars" allegedly being spent here, for what is simply a bunch of like minded people who are having a lot of fun, for free..... and at your expense!!

SNIP

So instead of even acknowledging the responses that you have received you've decided to become a seagull poster? Oh, and not forgetting your contribution to YouTube's pile of kook videos. You really are trashing about in areas where you know absolutely nothing.
That's some investigative journalism right there, folks.

Looks like that hashish that you admit to smuggling really has gone to your head....

The "you're all paid shills" motif is rather odd, to my mind. If he's convinced that all the posters who disagree with him are paid shills, what is the point of arguing with us? If we're paid to dispute the hoax theory, we're not going to suddenly go, "Oh, goodness, you're RIGHT!"

I suppose it is a combination of insult ("you're paid hacks") and ego-defense ("there's no legitimate reason for you not to agree with me").

I see it more as a combo of paranoia and megalomania.  Either way it isn't valid.

That is about the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard an HB say...just totally stupid, and I am rather insulted that you would think it "ok" to post such crap, here.

It just makes you look really ignorant to say stuff like that...

Hmmm...for years,  S.H.I.E.L.D. used a barber shop as a front for its New York operation.

You might have something there.

UNCLE used a tailor's shop.

Yep. He's got you.
