Ohoh! Looks like the hoaxheads mean business this time. New petition......

[mako88sb]

.....that's floundering even more than Awe130's from back in 2012. It's going to be great shoving the results in their faces whenever they start yapping about how everybody is waking up to the supposed hoaxed landings.

I'm all for it - let them ask. There are lots of data files, some 16mm footage, the stellar camera images, and the now infamous Magazine 80 from Apollo 14 that are not yet available electronically. They are going to be so disappointed when all they get from this futile exercise is more data that proves we went. All three of them so far, that is.

Petition went up on Dec 25th, and today is the 15th of January. They have 3 signatures (about 1 signature every seven days). By my reckoning they will have between 4 and 5 signatures by the deadline.

Looks like they will have to extend their deadline to  around August of the year 3933. By then, the Lunar and Martian Colonies will have already declared their independence from the Empire of Earth, and the first robotic probes will be just reaching Gleise 581.

They must realize that they finally have a President that is irrational enough to take them seriously.

Trump has shown himself to be a conspiracy theorist (Obama birth certificate, JFK assassination, climate change denial, anti-vaccinations), so this petition was likely created because they think he'd be open to the idea that the moon landings were faked.

I see the votes remain at three. Funny that.

[dwight]

Three is the number of the counting, and the counting of the number shall be three. Five is right out.

[Allan F]

One
Two
Five.

Three, Sire.

[Glom]

You'd think there'd be a few more woowoos out there.

[Abaddon]

You'd think there'd be a few more woowoos out there.

You assume some level of competence in them promoting their poll. Clearly this is unwarranted.

All you have at this point is effectively "me and my two mates" and nothing more.

Furthermore, the whole thing is predicated on the VAB. We already know this is nonsense.

[Luke Pemberton]

It's still 3...

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who is the Prez. Facts are facts are facts.

Well said, Brother Maynard. Perhaps the hoaxheads are hoping for a lobbing of the grenade to defeat the legions of NASA shills?
Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."




Aaaaannnnd it's still three. I assume that was Adrian, Dangermouse and a sock puppet?

"Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy."


*** The number of the counting still be three!!

"It is a confirmed fact by NASA that we cannot get past the Van Allen radiation belt to get to Mars without a major overhaul of the capsule. The radiation, which is dangerous to the crew and potentially damaging to the equipment, must be reduced to a minimal level inside the capsule to achieve success in the mission and safety of the crew. "

This is tantamount to saying:

In the 1970s, cars didn't have airbags. All modern cars must now have airbags. Ergo, cars didn't exist in the 1970's and earlier.

The radiation, which is dangerous to the crew and potentially damaging to the equipment, must be reduced to a minimal level inside the capsule to achieve success in the mission and safety of the crew. "
..

And this is confirmed by who/what?

Still 3, for all the Monty Python fans.

[Peter B]

I wonder if all three are convinced the actual number of people clicking on the petition has been suppressed...
