Neil Armstrong and flying to the Moon is off topic from ssh? Now
that's a curious response that I never would have predicted.

On topic.

Why have I highlighted the topic of Neil and other lunar astronauts
having killed people?

Off topic, IMHO. I personally won't entertain this nonsense.

As has been shown earlier in this thread, this issue was not off topic for James Hansen, the one and only person, out of 7+ billion, whom Neil Armstrong entrusted as his official biographer.

Feel free to discuss off topic material with yourself then. You're either
trolling or you just like to read your own writings. Either way, what Jeff
said is correct.

Trolling is insincere commentary made for the purpose of inciting visceral response. If you see my contributions here to be trolling, then you must also see James Hansen's space.com Op-Ed to be trolling as well.

Armstrong had the opportunity to mow down all those Korean soldiers. He opted to not do that.

You dismiss this as off-topic, nothing to do with space history.
Hansen sees it to have everything to do with space history.

The other option you're seeing is that I like to read my own writings. I actually DO. I write and keep MANY notes to myself. I am continually writing and sending emails to myself. I do this within my email account, because it is very convenient to search through and find old messages that are decades old.

One thing I do *not* do is post to the entire planet info that I see to be only of interest to myself. Things I choose to share here at ssh are things that I see to have potential benefit to others. This does not mean you, specifically. But I hope you are aware that just because you have no interest in a topic, that does not necessarily mean that absolutely no one else will have no interest in it as well.

Did you know that story about Armstrong flying his Panther with that opportunity to kill all those Korean soldiers? No, I don't need your answer to that. But I know that since the time that this thread was started, I myself have learned some absolutely fascinating facts about space history. I am very appreciative that Hansen decided to share that story with the world.

You may not. But just cause you don't, that does not mean that others here don't.

What is especially strange is that SSH is a near-dead forum. Yet you and Jeff act like you are doing some kind of public service by policing it. Policing it from this danger that you see me to be posing because of my contributions to space history, just because you don't like what I have to say.
