In the Shadow of the Moon - DVD

Sorry if this topic has been covered before. But I noticed ' In the
Shadow of the Moon ' was out on DVD ... so I purchased a copy. I
didn't get the chance to see it in theaters. Even though I have hours
and hours of ' moon stuff ' on DVD and VHS in my video library.

Wow nice.

What stood out to me in this DVD was Michael Collins. His commentary
was so wonderful ( and funny ). Too bad Neil Armstrong was absent
from this venture ( but that is so often the case ).

Anything new to me ? Well ... Buzz paused for a moment to relieve his
bladder after stepping on the moon. ( maybe I read that somewhere as
well ). Funny commentary from Alan Bean about how Buzz Aldrin
couldn't shut up about orbital rendezvous ... even at parties. And
Buzz comments ... " yeah ... that was true ".

Tee he.

Collins was always a very good writer. I imagine it was his part outside
of Neil and Buzz going down to the surface (and all that implied in
regards to potential jealously), that gave him a sense of humor about
the whole thing.
And, of course, he got to see a lot more of the Moon fairly close up
than either of the two LM crew on Apollo 11 ever did.
They were seeing the rocks and regolith in a extremely diminutive area
of its surface; he was seeing the mountain ranges, craters, chasms, and
rills...you know - Chesley Bonestell's Moon.
When you think about it, he might have gotten the better part of the
deal from a purely visual aspect of things to be seen.. ;-)

As we speak, I am reading Michael Collins 'Liftoff - The Story of America's
Adventure In Space' published in 1988 (yeah, I'm slow getting to the new
releases). Anyways, same thing about his writing style. He is a wealth of
information without being stuck on himself (unlike the Kraft book, Flight:
My Life in Mission Control). I need to check out that DVD.

Michael Collins.

I think I read somewhere that Deke Slayton had offered a flight as
Commander, maybe it was Apollo 14 or 15 to Michael Collins. Anyone
know which book that's in ? or how much truth there is to it?

I think the comment that Mike made was he felt he couldn't contribute
any further to the program and wanted to do other things. Seems he
has never been all that comfortable with the publicity according to
the interviews post flight I've seen. But he has remained fairly
anonymous. Well as anonymous as an A11 crew member can be~!

"Moon Hoax morons soon to be foiled by LRO images of US and SOVIET
missions" / by J Waggoner
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.s...1d45e648dbdee5

Why only soon, and not otherwise as of decades ago, or at least as of
JAXA Selene as having more than sufficient resolution for having to
share a few of those 10 meter resolution pixels as getting extra
illuminated by way of our bright and shiny Apollo stuff situated upon
that physically dark as coal moon?

According to our very own DoD and of their MI5/CIA expertise, of spy
satellite imaging offering a few inches or as good as 100 mm worth of
resolution had been a done deal as of the cold-war, and even of
somewhat good enough imaging prior to anything Apollo, and that was of
Earth as recorded through a highly optical distorting atmosphere, as
well as from roughly better than twice the altitude of the JAXA Selene
mission that's oddly been NASA sequestered as need-to-know or perhaps
entirely nondisclosure rated.

As much the same as our team of cloak and dagger wizards having
terminated the robust portion of ESA'a Venus Express PFS instrument,
it's another interesting note about our physically dark and nasty
moon, in that all the supposed better science (far better off than
anything NASA/Apollo or of anything NASA since Apollo) and of
otherwise perfectly fine expertise of the JAXA/Selene mission is still
officially sequestered, as though taboo/nondisclosure within one of
our NASA space toilets, perhaps as parked right next to those 700
missing boxes of their Apollo moon landing hoax missions and of all
those pesky Muslim WMD.

In addition to what I've discovered, and my having been trying within
my best dyslexic encrypted ways to share the new and improved science
about Venus and our moon for the past 8+ years and counting, it seems
there's lots more to behold about good old Earth that's worth our
knowing and sharing, such as the many interesting discoveries and
subsequent topics within the following link: Archaeology Answers
About Ancient Civilizations Indus River Valley Ancient Maps of the
World Ancient India Civilizations Ancient China Civilization Egypt
Ancient Gods Strange Pictures Dead Men's Secrets Lost Technology and
more...
www.beforeus.com

Other than my having deductively interpreted via observationology as
to what looks so perfectly intelligent/artificial of the Venus tarmac,
township/community of large structures, plus the surrounding
infrastructure and of that nearby bridge as looking so gosh darn
rational, I can't be absolutely certain about such other intelligent
life still existing/coexisting on Venus. However, at least the
regular laws of physics and of the best available science can't
possibly exclude such, because even us frail humans along with a
sufficient degree of applied technology could make a go of it,
especially as for representing ETs capable of getting ourselves to/
from Venus would in of itself offer more than sufficient technological
expertise for safely accommodating an extended stay in spite of all
that geothermally forced environment of Venus being so geologically
newish, CO2/S8 vapor hot and otherwise downright nasty from the bottom
up, and otherwise not as we've been told as being entirely greenhouse
roasted from the top down.

Where's all the good NASA/Apollo moon landing hoax stuff going? It's
as though this Earth is flat and such topics and of their authors
along with each and every one of those 700 boxes of our NASA/Apollo
mission data just fell off the edge.

Perhaps we should take a little reflective quiet time to fully
appreciate upon the recent intellectual and anti-science imposed
gauntlets of this Usenet topic/author stalking and science blockage,
whereas instead of the truth we're seeing forced topic stacking of
such wordy disinformation crapolla so that the general public or media
doesn't get an honest wind or otherwise bother to look deep enough
into this mainstream cesspool of Usenet, as to discover what's really
going down the drain.

It's exactly like the cloak and dagger worth of those NASA Apollo
false or dishonest topics having those key search words of NASA,
Apollo, moon landing and hoax continually included within each and
every one of those phony postings of obviously bogus topics, that
which also include naughty smut and porn related context, as clearly
intended in order to cause automatic filtering of what public schools
ever get to read, as well as to divert the honest research intentions
of others, by way of those hidden or cloak and dagger means that
essentially wash-out or force-purge all previous forms of perfectly
serious related topics out of their Google/NOVA archives, and thus
getting removed from their infowar and otherwise mainstream hype
configured Usenet, so that only the mainstream status quo of topics in
100% support of government and of their faith-based NASA/Apollo side
of this issue remains accessible to the public.

Do yourself a basic favor by accomplishing a Google Usenet search of '
apollo hoax ' or ' moon landing ' and then use the "sort by date"
feature. It's funny, isn't it.

In them good old days of applying this form of government and
theological extremist oversight, or merely orchestrated clownism, as
such this tactic was mainstream swarm like accomplished via witch and
book burnings that achieved their form of mainstream damage-control
trickery of that dark-side era, as well as if need be having put those
of their own kind on a stick for yet another shock and awe worth of a
faith-based PR stunt wasn't overlooked.

BTW, my for-real phone of 253-8576061 and email of bradguth@gmail or
bradguth@yahoo (among others) has always been answered by myself, so
if you're not getting through or you believe that I'm not answering my
phone or otherwise not reading or much less returning your email, it's
simply not the least bit intentionally because of myself, but instead
it's more than likely of those calls or emails of yours have been
getting systematically intercepted, modified and/or diverted by those
in charge, and otherwise skewed by those having the most to lose,
especially if they're not doing their spook and mole like jobs at
keeping the rest of us supposed village idiots snookered and
dumbfounded past the point of no return.

If this bad situation of censorship that's clearly getting worse isn't
exactly of what those global domination Zionists and of their puppet
Hitler warlord (aka partner in crimes against humanity) had in mind,
as having since been replaced by our warlord GW Bush and of his born-
again faith of brown-nosed minions, then what the hell is?

Seems via presidential signings and of those DHS powers of God has
entirely excluded all others from taking proper action. Again, it's
all very Third Reich and otherwise warlord like.

Michael Collins.

I think I read somewhere that Deke Slayton had offered a flight as
Commander, maybe it was Apollo 14 or 15 to Michael Collins. Anyone
know which book that's in ?

"Deke" by Slayton and Cassutt.

The offer was for a flight late in the Apollo program: A-17. Collins was
a bit burned out already, and another long grind training for a flight
that might get canceled just didn't appeal to him.


or how much truth there is to it?

A lot. In his memoirs, Gene Cernan says the only reason he got to
command an Apollo flight was because Collins turned it down.


Seems he
has never been all that comfortable with the publicity according to
the interviews post flight I've seen.

Also preflight. He complained about his time "in the barrel" even during
the Gemini days.
