Why did they all resign from the 'successful' Apollo Program?

Did you ask any of them?  Or are you just going to insinuate it was for bad reasons?

Australian Viewers See Something
That Proves Apollo 11 Was A Fake

In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.

This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day

Um, the Apollo 11 moon walk was in the early AFTERNOON in Australia.

In 1969 computer chips had not been invented. The maximum computer memory was 256k, and this was housed in a large air conditioned building. In 2002 a top of the range computer requires at least 64 Mb of memory to run a simulated Moon landing, and that does not include the memory required to take off again once landed. The alleged computer on board Apollo 11 had 32k of memory. That's the equivalent of a simple calculator.

Some of the Eleven Apollo astronauts had non space related fatal accidents within a twenty two month period of one another, the odds of this happening are 1 in 10,000...coincidence?

James B. Irwin (Apollo 15) resigned from NASA and the Air Force on July 1, 1972.

Don F. Eisele (Apollo 7) resigned from NASA and from the Air Force in June 1972.

Stewart Allen Roosa (Apollo 14) resigned from NASA and retired from the Air Force in February 1976.

Swigert resigned from NASA in 1977

Why did they all resign from the 'successful' Apollo Program?
Apollo was over.  They weren't going into space anymore.  How DARE they want to do something else with the rest of their lives!

Why did the blueprints and plans for the Lunar Module and Moon Buggy get destroyed if this was one of History's greatest accomplishments?

Wow, this is without question the most boring troll I have ever come across on a discussion forum. No arguments, just regurgitatating long-debunked BS and refusing to engage.

Prove they were destroyed.  I seem to have no problem finding them, nor does any other space engineer.

They may have had some idea that no one was going to leave Earth orbit for the next 40 odd years. Been there, done that, time to get on with life.

1. Since the moon missions were over, just maybe they resigned because they weren't going back to the moon?
2. Personal reasons?(Eisele for one was in the dog house at NASA and would never fly again)
3. Changing professions?(Swigert was elected to Congress)
Now show where the 1-10000 statistical is valid for your assertion?  And that it applies here.
Truth needs no defense.  Nobody can take those footsteps I made on the surface of the moon away from me.

He's cribbed enough of the Aulis web site to probably qualify as a copyright violation.

Tindarormkimcha, now you're regurgitating the Una Ronald and Bill Wood fables?  Are you really that gullible, or just trolling?

As I've already said, frantically posting a bunch of dreck you don't understand won't get you anywhere.  It's not even your own dreck.  Can you come up with any intelligent thought of your own?  Do you think your subliterate Gish Gallop is something new? 

In short, why should anybody pay any attention to you when you're clearly unwilling to learn anything?
