Don't forget the George Deutsch NASA 'the big bang is just a theory'.

My theory is that you are an American fascist, and your ridiculous blog
and usenet statements used as evidence appear to support my theory.

My theory is that you're a troll and a child molester, and your
trolling on usenet is evidence to support my theory as well.

Hidden in the Headers :

*Organization : Molest any kids today, Tommy?*

My theory is that you are Robert Mosley III of Austin, Texas, USA, and
are slandering and defaming me through a giganews proxy, a theory which
would be easily proved or disproved by a simple subpoena of Giganews.

My theory is that the troll should be in everyone's kill file, and
that no one should feed it.

From the headers :

*Organization : **** you, you worthless sack of lying ****. If anyone's
the fascist, it's you, you Nazi molester!

And what about your calling everyone a fascist?

Everything about Rand is fascist.

Is that not also defamation?

No, it is not defamation to call a fascist a fascist.

It's merely a political philosophy, a vile one, admittedly, but a
political philosophy nevertheless.

Anyway, your theory's wrong, just like everything about
your, you sun-fried pervert!

We shall see.

Go **** yourself, Tommy. You're not scaring anyone but the local kids.
Why nobody's put you away with the rest of the molesters can only be a
statement about your local lack of law enforcement.

I'm making a civil case.

Harrison Schmitt jumps ship over new Mars/asteroids agenda:

I love this line....

"You know as well as I, the "global warming scare" is being used
as a political tool to increase government control over American
lives, incomes and decision making. It has no place in the
Society's activities."


Yep people like that are more than irresponsible.


I think they're starting to read the writing on the wall with going
back to the Moon. I mean people on Mars is a good forty or
fifty years off, that's just too far out for most people to get
excited about. Who knows how many things could happen
between now and then to derail the program.

So selling the Moon as the necessary first step is trying to sell
an $800 billion first step to ...'who cares'.
As few of us will ever see it happen.
And we'll all have been saturated long before with Mars pictures
from one rover after another.

Not gonna work imho.

They should just come out and tell the truth about the Moon.
Going back is for our Defense Dept and their missile defense
shield and other space related capabilities. And also as a
make-work program to keep the aerospace industry alive.

They need a better make work program, something that
is reasonable for the taxpayers, not just the military.

Something that can be sold to the public.

As a product The Vision flunks easily. Due to the combination of
misleading purpose, gigantic cost and unknowable completion date.

Only a used car salesman would stoop to selling this turkey.

Time to 'wholesale it' out to the international community and
be done with it.

You do that. Meanwhile, us children will just have to grapple with the
destruction you have left us in terms of educational dysfunction,
environmental destruction, lost wars, lost lives, lost prestige, lost
treasury and loss of constitutional checks, balances and protections.

A hearty big **** YOU to all you Bob Mosley and Rand Simberg supporters.

You are all American fascists. You will enjoy your successes shortly.
