Default MEN ON THE MOON -- Video Remembrance -- Death of Wally Schirra.

We pay tribute to Walter M. "Wally" Schirra -- the courageous
Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronaut -- who died this week
at age 84.

Sadly, Schirra never had an opportunity to step on the moon.

He wasn't alone, however. You see, NONE of the U.S. astronauts
ever stepped on the moon.

Certainly not Neil Armstrong nor Michael Collins on July 20,
1969. Nor anyone who came later.

That was the day we all sat glued to the fuzzy black-and-white
pictures on our TV screen to watch it, along with some 600
million other people around the world.

We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Were WE ever
gullible! It HAD to be true. It couldn't possibly have been
a NASA hoax. It couldn't have been a theatrical act done
on earth -- or could it? The thought never entered our mind,
and anyone who entertained that possibility was castrated
with a rusty pocket knife.

But, hmmm!, we may have been the victim of a colossal
con job.

Hmmm! I just wonder what a voice analysis of Neil
Armstrong would reveal. Maybe then you'd believe me.

Not that smacky whackjob ever replies to these, but what exactly would
be the point of faking the moon landing? Is the whole space program a
fake, or just the manned moon landings? Is it a gigantic conspiracy to
cover up the fact that the sun really does revolve around the earth?

All the pictures of the Earth from space are obvious fakes, because they
make the Earth look round.

So, when Bugs Bunny has to take a RIGHT turn at Albuquerque, he really means
it.

Reminds me, my Trig/Calc teacher in HS had a series of posters showing what
the Earth would look like if it were the form of various geometric forms, a
saddle, toroid, etc.

Idiot. The source of that is well known. It's a fake of a fake.
Made after the Apollo program.

Hmmm! I just wonder what a voice analysis of Neil
Armstrong would reveal. Maybe then you'd believe me.


No one will ever believe you about anything. You are easily
recognizable as a ranting, willfully ignorant lunatic.

As far as I'm aware, the moon programme isn't even mentioned in

the point would be to appear to have technology to send men to the
moon when you don't. A fake propaganda stunt for the American home
and Soviet, Chinese, and world audiences.

A problem with this, I think, is that the Soviets and Chinese could
easily tell whether a rocket actually was launched or not. Wouldn't
they detect a fake at once and expose the Americans, their rivals and
enemies, to the contempt and ridicule of the world?

And aren't the people who deny this admittedly impractical achievement
all extraordinarily petty and contemptible liars, doing down great men
with great achievements to try vainly to make their own little selves
seem less insignificant? And Ed Conrad especially so - to make such
use of the announcement of the death of a brave man whose bodily
wastes Conrad was never fit to handle. A disadvantage of the theory
of evolution is that we must consider ourselves to have an ancestor
common with Ed.

Let's don't be parochial. The chimps. bonobos, and gorillas should be
given their chance to disown him too. Possibly even the lemurs
deserve consideration.

Wrong guy. Try amaon.com for " Carrying The Fire; An Astronaut's
Journeys ". Excellent read.

fake, or just the manned moon landings? Is it a gigantic conspiracy to

Indeed, and the technology to determine whether a spacecraft was
actually transmitting the signals is sufficiently available, that
in 1957, one of the first groups getting the electronic details of
Sputnik 1 being real, was the... Kettering ( UK ) Boys' School.

And, whatever else onemay want to claim was " faked ", over a million
USians saw ( and *felt* ) Saturn V 506 - Apollo 11 - launch from Pad 39A.

And aren't the people who deny this admittedly impractical achievement
all extraordinarily petty and contemptible liars, doing down great men

Bingo.

And Ed Conrad especially so - to make such

wastes Conrad was never fit to handle. A disadvantage of the theory
of evolution is that we must consider ourselves to have an ancestor

Again, bingo.
