Well they do a lot of stuff in Hollyweird....

BTW it was a chunk of foam that doomed the shuttle.

Here's a little bit about the 8000+ pieces of "space junk"-

I think there are a few nuts floating around in THIS Universe!

That's all, folks...

BTW-I was on the design team for Clemintine, and did the vibration analysis for the entire optical/LIDAR/IR package. Looks like it worked well...

Well, I guess its time for all of us to run out to Blockbuster, get a Capricorn One DVD and pass the popcorn!
I will always believe people from Earth landed on the moon 6 times and returned to Earth safely in the late 60's and 70's. I can't imagine trying to explain anything short of that to the families of Grissom, White and Chafee, who perished in the Apollo One pad fire. I also think you would have a very hard time winning that argument with Gene Krantz and Chris Kraft who were flight directors of the missions during that time.
Conspiracy theories do and always will abound. How many of us find ourselves on the conspiracy side of the Kennedy assasination? There are times for everything, but I will always believe the Apollo Moon landings occured and there are living human beings still around that can tell us how it was...............I have personally met one of them in Buzz Aldrin. He is real, by the way............... :)
As for the size of onboard computers, don't discount the abilities and training of the crew members of those flights. The first landing (Apollo 11) was made with Neil Armstrong manually overriding the LEM decent computer.......it had gone into overload.......not so of the astronaut's God-given "computer". Maybe on a smaller scale, but Lindbergh accomplished a great navigational feat with NO computer at all years before.

The gentleman who started this thread said he "Left" college 20 years ago. Considering his spelling and grammar I'm sure he did not leave with a diploma.

His ridiculous assertions about the Apollo missions reinforce that conclusion.

At the very least he could use a spell checker.

Just my opinion.

RE: Apollo?
 

Could that same gentleman answer the question I posed in Post #69 -

I think that we've been trolled long enough not to have our 'host' come back and support his claims.

Please, give creditable evidence to support this claim. I need a good laugh! :-D

Was this thread started on April 1 by chance?
