If you watch film of Neil Armstrong setting his canteen down, you can see Tang dribbling from the loose cap that he forgot to tighten down, yet if they were actually on the Moon, there is no gravity to make it dribble.

Yes there is. There's no air, but there is gravity.

It's one sixth of what we have here on earth.

You need to try again.

Why did you include "Moon-Truther" BS in your post?

That nonsense is the playground of cranks, dullards and attention whores.

You’re using physics!

(is that allowed on FR?)

LOL - At You.

Maybe if you hit "Abuse" on your own comment, the AM will have pity on you.

Just to add to you post:

There is a museum in the world, (only ONE apparently), that has actual giant mummies on display, and this museum, (the Gold museum in Lima, Peru), is not affiliated with the Smithsonian Institute.
Glenn Kimball photographed the mummies of two of these giant men in Lima Peru in 1969. These giants are still in the gold museum in Lima Peru today and can be seen by anyone who visits. They were mummified because their golden robes are prominently on display. Their crowns could fit around Glenn’s waist. Their golden gloves have fingers ten inches long. Their mummies can be measured with a tape and they were both around nine and a half feet tall. There were other personal items fit for a giant king, that wouldn’t have been useful to a man of normal size. The actual bodies are there incased in glass for all to see.

To confirm this ,i was there in 1995 on a trip to Peru, have seen them with my own eyes in the glass display case.

If so, it appears the Smithsonian Institute says,

There was actually a lawsuit filed by some atheist against NASA for quoting Genesis. It just goes to show that there is nothing new under the sun. The lawsuit was dismissed then, but who knows what would happen today.

Carl Sagan never claimed Phobos was hollow or artificial. You’re thinking of a colleague of his, Joseph Shklovskii, who wrote ‘intelligent life in the universe’ which Sagan edited to the point of becoming co-author. Sagan himself was an extreme UFO skeptic.

Sagan is listed as coauthor, and would put his name on anything as long as he gained some publicity.

I am not surprised, as if you could really keep the gov. from sanctioning one general religion over another and be consistent with the Founders and the Constitution.

Meanwhile, one other aspect of God’s grace i mentioned was,

Apollo 12 launched on schedule from Kennedy Space Center, during a rainstorm. It was the first rocket launch attended by an incumbent US president, Richard Nixon. 36.5 seconds after lift-off, the vehicle triggered a lightning discharge through itself and down to the earth through the Saturn’s ionized plume. Protective circuits on the fuel cells in the Service Module (SM) falsely detected overloads and took all three fuel cells offline, along with much of the Command/Service Module (CSM) instrumentation. A second strike at 52 seconds after launch knocked out the “8-ball” attitude indicator. The telemetry stream at Mission Control was garbled. However, the vehicle continued to fly correctly; the strikes had not affected the Saturn V Instrument Unit.

The loss of all three fuel cells put the CSM entirely on batteries. They were unable to maintain normal 28 V DC bus voltages into the heavy 75-ampere launch loads. One of the AC inverters dropped offline. These power supply problems lit nearly every warning light on the control panel and caused much of the instrumentation to malfunction.

Legendary EECOM John Aaron (the original NASA “steely-eyed missile man”)[3] remembered the telemetry failure pattern from an earlier test when a power supply malfunctioned in the CSM Signal Conditioning Equipment (SCE). The SCE converts raw signals from instrumentation to standard voltages for the spacecraft instrument displays and telemetry encoders.[4]

Aaron made a call, “Try SCE to aux.” This switched the SCE to a backup power supply. The switch was fairly obscure, and neither Flight Director Gerald Griffin, CAPCOM Gerald Carr, nor Commander Conrad immediately recognized it. Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean, flying in the right seat as the CSM systems engineer, remembered the SCE switch from a training incident a year earlier when the same failure had been simulated. Aaron’s quick thinking and Bean’s memory saved what could have been an aborted mission. Bean put the fuel cells back on line, and with telemetry restored, the launch continued successfully. Once in earth parking orbit, the crew carefully checked out their spacecraft before re-igniting the S-IVB third stage for trans-lunar injection. The lightning strikes had caused no serious permanent damage.

Initially, it was feared that the lightning strike could have caused the Command Module’s (CM) parachute mechanism to prematurely fire, disabling the explosive bolts that open the parachute compartment to deploy them.[citation needed] If they were indeed disabled, the Command Module would have crashed uncontrollably into the Pacific Ocean and killed the crew instantly. Since there was no way to figure out whether or not this was the case, ground controllers decided not to tell the astronauts about the possibility. The parachutes deployed and functioned normally at the end of the mission. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_12

Praise God. “..and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it [the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven].” (Revelation 21:24)
