I amaze on this explanation!!! I told this to my colleagues and they also get the same reaction like mine. I also featured this to my blog (Don’t worry, I gave you a full credit to this.) thanks for posting this stuff.

He’ll make the real money when he starts charging people for rides. Though if you have to shoot the balloon full of bbs to land, that might not be too popular, heh.

Comment on The Flag, the Oath, and the Hypocrisy by Brandi Miller

White skinned Native American, huh? So does the title of Native American give you the liberty to stand in the future and fume about the past. A past that you can never correctly judge being so far removed? A people that you can never reasonablly relate to being who and what you are? One can not correctly judge the workings of a country if one is looking backward. Why base so many opinions on a past you never experienced. Are you always condemned for the things in your past? Do you not know about growing and changing and forgiving?
Children need to be taught loyalty, allegience, and duty from young ages. They need to learn about the country that shelters them and gives them the priviledge to go to school, eat in abundance, play with toys. But you spend so much time worrying about the past that you don’t realize the priviledges that you have being an “American” woman. The Pledge of Allegiance is the foundation of loyalty to this country and yes to GOD!!! You know the GOD that blesses America so that she can thrive as no other country. The GOD that created this earth and this universe (I can give you proof, just ask)
Spurn these ideals because they do not sit well with your ideal about being an “American” woman but do not question the validity of the Creator and substance of the country you live in, America.

Comment on Patriotic, or Hypocritical? by Brandi Miller

Point? That is what you are forgetting. You speak like this about the country that gives you the right to speak. Ironic, huh? Perhaps you can take a trip to Cuba or China or Tawain. Then post your little articles about freedom and rights. Unlike you who uses pointless, unsubstantiated words to exercise your rights those that had no rights fought for a country and an ideal and a hope that those that came after them would have those rights. What is your point. To tear down the ideal and the love of a country that is always trying and has always tried to do better. If you don’t like leave!!!!! Or get up and actually make an effort to change it.

I can’t believe that they just let someone put a bunch of unsubstantiated, unproven, baseless, proffless crap up here. She manages to give her “opinion” but does actually give any journalistic quality and or proof of her stand. She is full of opinions and that is about it. I can’t wait until this meets her end and realizes that the old adage of opinion are like backsides….. Get some intelligence. Get some journalistic creditials. Get some proof. Make your opinion more than just another backside……. if you even have that ability, which I doubt!

I’m amazed that there are people that don’t believe we have been to the moon. Just silly.

Thanks for using this space geeks photo!

How do you swallow a large golden bracelet like that with no water or anything?

Comment on The Apollo Moon Landing - Hoax or History? by Iron Sun

Iron Sun — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:42:14 +0000

“Nonetheless, we can still look at the odds and know that there is more to the first lunar landing than has been revealed.” - Or alternatively, we can look a bit deeper, and find that our reliance on the objectivity and authority of the hoax claimants is misplaced, and that every single hoax claim can be easily dispelled. The hoax myth perpetuates itself through the agency of known liars who are only in it for the money, people who rely on the fact that most people will not bother to dig deeper to uncover the truth behind their glib, self-serving lies. To address your points:

1) Yes, they were in a race. In what way does this conclusively prove that the landing was hoaxed? Are the results of any given race hoaxed, or just this one? This provides absolutely nothing in the way of substantive proof, it simply states a supposed motivation. One that can be dismissed if the actual evidence is examined.

2) It would be highly suspicious if no training exercises were carried out for a project of this magnitude and complexity. A handwaving assertion that the simulations were “extremely similar” to the real thing is simply untrue - exercises done in desert conditions have blue skies, red or brown earth, and shrubs, for example. There are factors in the real footage that simply cannot be faked here on Earth, such as the way that dust kicked up by the astronauts falls straight back to the ground with no dust cloud eddies lingering in the air, due to the lunar vacuum. Big budget Hollywood productions such as Apollo 13 or From The Earth To The Moon couldn’t get this right in recent times, there was literally no chance of doing it 40 years ago.

3) This is simply flat out wrong. There were no “private donations” to the lunar program, it was fully federally funded through NASA. Again, the claim that the mission weere faked due to a supposed threat of loss of funding does absolutely nothing to prove that a hoax took place, it is simply more supposition about hypothetical motivations. In reality, the funding was cut early - the missions were terminated after Apollo17, in spite of the fact that hardware had already been partially built for missions through to Apollo 20. Once the public and Congress lost interest in further missions the money dried up. That doens’t mean that the early mission never happened.

4) Yet more supposition about what “might really” have happened, with absolutely no evidence to bak any of them up - even though some of them can be eliminated out of hand, such as that they made it “half way”, as anybody with a college level grasp of the physics of orbital mechanics can tell you it simply doesn’t work that way - you can’t just turn around and come back at a time of your choosing, which is why Apollo 13 had to continue on after the explosion and slingshot around the Moon before they could return.

In short, this article is almost completely devoid of actual facts and testable claims and very, very long on handwaving. If anybody really wants to find out the truth about these events, try going to apollohoax.proboards21.com or badastronomy.com and talk to people who can back up their statements with references to actual facts you can then check for yourself.

Comment on World War I, the First of Our Many Party Crashes by Angelo

I think you ought to do a bit more research than that. It’s rather strange that the French and British would cooperate with the United States if they didn’t even want them there. Generally speaking, the British and French needed and wanted the help; they needed the war supplies and didn’t seem to mind the United States ending the stalemate and helping to defeat Germany (reclaiming both their status as major powers and keeping/gaining valuable territory).

Alliances can be formed at any time, before, during, and after wars. Your analysis is superficial at best and doesn’t serve your main point in the slightest.
