>>>And then one or two more trips to do the same basic thing and then the whole thing is yesterday’s news: been there, done that, now it’s time to get on with perfecting our welfare state

Walter Mondale as a US senator led the fight to kill the moon program before we ever even reached lunar orbit. He came close to succeeding, especially in the months after the loss of the Apollo 1 crew. No aliens necessary.

>>>forbidden planet?

And a dozen others, including episodes of Twilight Zone and 3-D Danny’s spaceship. Sometimes just for variety they turned it over and it flew bottom side up. They definitely got their moneys worth out of that prop.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Just on anti-Biblical merit alone I’ve discounted this data. As you point out, it makes no technical sense.

Place to lay out, catch some rays and dip a line in the water. Works for me.

LBJ tried to implement his so-called War on Poverty, escalate in Vietnam, and carry out the Apollo program; after Apollo 11 (the first of the six landings) and the winning of the Moon race / space race, LBJ’s micromanaging the quagmire in Vietnam, and the failure of the war on poverty, it seemed like a great idea to dump Apollo, which was successful.

Re: black project, here’s no way to hide a Saturn V launch. The only manmade sound louder is (or perhaps was, since the Shuttle has more pop) detonation of an atomic bomb.

I didn't say it was anything more than a conspiracy theory...

If I were going to manage such a program, the launch would likely be from some remote Pacific island.

I’m surprised no one has commented on the last paragraph of this story, which is crazier than the rest of it:

“In the Victorian era some became obsessed with the ark story. George Smith – the lowly British museum assistant who, in 1872, deciphered the Flood Tablet which is inscribed with the Assyrian version of the Noah’s ark tale – could apparently not contain his excitement at his discovery.”

Does this not sound kind of odd?

According to the museum’s archives: “He jumped up and rushed about the room in a great state of excitement and to the astonishment of those present began to undress himself.”

"It could be bitumen. Iraq has plenty of oil, and oil seeps are not unknown. La Brea tar pits comes to mind."

========================================================

Not if oil came from the flood which had not yet occurred.

Yeah. I vividly remember watching the first Saturn V launch on TV, only to be distracted (and pulled outside) by hearing the launch live, loud enough to overwhelm the volume on the TV. From 125 miles away...

Sorta like 9/11?

I mean, is that believable, or could it be that whatever those guys saw up there messed their minds and their paradigms so badly that the whole thing got made into a black project and we never hear about it any more? Who knows....

Not me...

Clearly there was oil before The Flood.

Clearly? How so?

I'm aware of theories that oil may be mineral in origin but it seems more likely that it's material buried in the great flood.

Well duh!

If Sodom and Gomorra were burned by flaming bitumen, and this happened before The Flood, then bitumen/oil had to exist before The Flood.

Or are you asserting the God himself couldn’t make oil before The Flood?

“the vessel that saved one virtuous man, his family and the animals from god’s watery wrath”

There were other people besides Adamites on the ark. God instructed Noah to take two of ALL flesh.(Gen. 6:19)
And don’t jump on me with Peter...7 souls goes with the subject of Israelites vs. every one else.

And God’s instructions made the ark rectangular.

Heh... 23,000 pounds of fuel consumed per second in five regeneratively cooled engines that could have continued to fire at that rate for at least sixty minutes (given enough fuel), and as they quoted in Apollo 13, “That is how we do THAT.”

Bitumen was/is available to people from surface exposures. In California for a time people even mined it...

With modern power tools it took over 300 man-years of labor to build each of the Ark 'replicas'.
