Out of Pod Experience

Yes the Italians stole the missing moon samples... to grate over pasta.

I think that instead of worrying about the issue of the reality of the moon landing, we should be worrying about the reality or uncertainty of GHOSTS.

Yes.

Yeah they went. Realized no oil, no McDonalds, no XXX websites and went home miserable.

Actually I think they saw something that freaked them out. Something that changed the course of history forever.

Probbably not, but I'd doubt that the general public knows how, can verify the samples (those known to be from the moon directly) ... Indeed, apparently NASA sometimes gets away with handing out petrified wood and calling it "moon rocks". ;-)

Your links keep getting better and better, those first ones were awesome, but this new one is epic, I've already linked it to a few friends and they are pissing themselves.

I thought you were a garden variety fool, but you actually have more depth, I honestly think we could be pushing for a shoe size IQ.

Never stop posting.

I think I could pick one out.

Did you even read the Reuters article? Firstly, it wasn't NASA who said it. Secondly, taking a single sentence out of context doesn't prove anything except to show that you (and Mr Scepcop) aren't even trying very hard.

"Given today's knowledge and today's understanding of radiation protection, to put someone out in that type of environment would violate the current requirements that NASA has."
"Any mission to Mars using current technology would take three years, van Hoften said. That long in space would subject astronauts to too much radiation ."

Long term exposure and current regulations about what constitutes acceptable levels of exposure are the problem. It's not like the article is stating that the Apollo astronauts should have died from radiation poisoning during the eight day round trip to the moon.


However, to be fair, I will give you (and Mr Scepcop) credit for quoting sources. So I'll see your "single, out of context sentence lifted from a Reuters fluff article" and raise you an article that actually has numbers in it *and* uses the word "rads" *and* appears to have more sciencey stuff than the Reuters article: BIOMEDICAL RESULTS OF APOLLO ... RADIATION PROTECTION AND INSTRUMENTATION

* "the maximum operational dose (MOD) limit for each of the Apollo missions was set at 400 rads (X-ray equivalent) to skin and 50 rads to the blood-forming organs" and
* "Radiation doses measured during Apollo were significantly lower than the yearly average of 5 rem

set by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for workers who use radioactive materials in factories and institutions across the United States. Thus, radiation was not an operational problem during the Apollo Program."

There is only one thing you have to tell people to prove we landed on the moon. You don't have to disprove anything or answer anything else. The fact of the matter is that any government on earth with radio technology could pick up the transmissions from the moon and triangulate where they were originating from.

So unless every single developed nation, INCLUDING the evil Russians, decided they wanted to help NASA pull off this hoax, it happened.
