Well, going with Eastern NA time, we're still a few hours away
from PDI, and touchdown, and about 9 and a half hours away from
that small step...

It could be a good night to play the Spacecraft Films Apollo 11
DVD tonight... and also remember being at the NASM in DC on July
20, 1989...

39 years ago, today, we were lied to by those having the right stuff,
and their lies upon lies have never stopped.

True. With your density, the gravitational pull couldn't be overcome
by a Saturn V.

Our Zionist/Nazi Saturn V only got our Apollo package safely into a
good LEO, whereas supposedly everything else was accomplished by their
trusty command module and of its one rocket thruster with tonnes of
spare fuel.

No -- the S-IVB had restart capability and performed the translunar
injection phase of the flight, as well as insertion into parking orbit.

I know -- I helped design the trajectories and determine performance
capabilities.

And a Bravo Zulu (Navy term for "well done") to all involved in Apollo 11. Let's hurry up and
get on the ball with Orion, Altair, and Aeries, and go back. And stay. Too bad the
conspiro-nuts (especially that one obnoxious piece of vermin infesting this NG) aren't so
easily disposed of. If we can land people on the moon, then we can find a way to get them
to sit down and shut up. Preferably while they're in a padded cell and straightjacket.

Orval, you're trying to reason with the unreasoning. Save your breath; it
won't work.

I know -- he is the resident nut case. I guess that I am one of the
DARPA/"Jewish"/"Incest-Cloned Aliens" that he rants about.
