Why I suspect Apollo was a hoax.

[bknight]

I don't know if this is the image you are referring, from A12.

Al's picture of Pete taking Al's picture. Pete is holding the extension handle in his left hand.

Looks more like the lens was hit by direct sunlight.

I was thinking lens flare myself, but it fit the general description.

No, it wasn't 12. It was 15, 16, or 17, I'm sure of it.

I was going to make the photo into a wall-sized print, but I couldn't ever find it again.

On topic post alert:

The top post on the Project Apollo facebook page has a picture with the following caption:

Dr Joe Kerwin and Vance Brand talk while they and Joe Engle spend 177 hours locked inside a Command Module that's placed in a vacuum chamber to qualify the newly redesigned Block II Cm rated to carry astronauts and go into space.

I'll try and post the photo later, but I am firewalled by work!

Here you go:



Baker would just claim:
"I didn't see the test, so it didn't happen"
"Yeah, but they are not wearing a spacesuit"
"La La La, I'm not listening"
(delete as applicable)

Speaking of Baker, has he finally stealth-flounced? He hasn't logged in since September 13th.

FTFY, All of the above are in play.

Thought you folks might appreciate a little diversion;

The solar system to scale, with the Earth represented by a marble ...

I saw that yesterday, very very cool.

Cool but all fake, you know that the planets and the sun all orbit the flat Earth.   

EDIT: Added the sun.

If it gets cheap enough, we should sent all elected politicians into space, let them see the world not as a place of boundaries and nations but as a world, a whole, a gem of exquisite beauty and fragile smallness.
Then, only then, will they be allowed to take office.

Then, only then, will they be allowed to take office.

And they have to pass a high school civics exam.

Surely you jest.

And they have to pass a high school civics exam.

And science. Including biology.

So we can get it, some of us who are non-Americans need to be told what a high school civics exam is...

Rather like understanding how people should act with/around government(s).  What are the responsibilities/privileges of being a citizen.
