Fair enough.
I recall seeing both Gil Scott Heron and Joan Armatrading in the same evening. I believe it was in Columbus Ohio, back in the 70’s. Both impressive performers. Gil seemed to get stuck in that underground warrior mode, though. He had plenty of followers.
FYI: You can find moon rocks on Earth, so it is possible what you remember passing around was a Lunar Meteorite.
Love that video. An idiot attention seeking gayboy sure got the attention of Buzz
I'd hate to know the gravity of that moon. With its (m)ass I'm surprised it's not its own solar system.
I see you saw Capricorn One
You can see that there is a lesser body orbiting around it.
Yes!
Glycon is most upset!
Every physical object exhibits gravity proportional to its mass. Even you have a very weak gravitational field surrounding your body. Even a potato has a gravitational field. For detection purposes, I would recommend an Idaho potato over, say, a Red Potato.
There is one reason I could believe it was fake. And that’s because Kennedy had vowed to send a man to the moon and back BEFORE the decade ended.
As for Sputnik, I remember as a kid looking up at the sky at night and seeing the little white dot that was Sputnik. It was scary as hell.
The lesser body either has Airbrakes deployed or it an obique view of orbiting rings.
Let’s try Oblique and and it’s again.
Those Kennedy’s would have done anything to keep Chappaquiddick off the front pages.
I recently saw a You Tube video debunking those who claim the moon landings were faked. The guy’s argument was that in the 1960s and 70s there was no real technology to have faked the photographs from the moon, but there was the capability to fly there. We are so used to realistic computer generated photos and videos that we assume that capability was available way back then. Digital photos were decades away when we landed on the moon and the computing power available at NASA in those days would be dwarfed by even today’s video game machines.
Oh, WOW! I never even heard of that before. That was great!
God bless Buzz Aldrin for punching that weirdo. Buzz wasn’t some frail old man.
I believe that men rocketed to, landed on, and walked on, and took off from the
Moon. Then they made it home to Earth safely, and they also made history.
Buzz was a Korean War fighter pilot. Most old school fighter pilots had plenty of practice punching idiots when needed.
I’ve always loved that video. At some point Buzz managed to pass his briefcase to someone. I think he knew he might be needing both hands free real soon.
Helium is one of the Noble gasses and exists as a gas in its natural state or as a liquid. Helium is the only element which cannot be frozen into a solid state.
An isotope of Helium, Helium-3 is also a gas and can be utilized as fuel in nuclear fusion. Helium-3 is found in rare quantities on the Earth, and estimated to exist in greater abundance on the Moon. However, Helium-3 would have to be extracted from minerals found on the moon rather than what you suggested "...mine minerals such as Helium from beneath the moon's crusty outer surface. "
At this point in time, the cost for such an endeavor is prohibitive.
Looks like a homoroid, to me.
Thank you for helping me to clarify the intent of that sentence. I know I’ve been hearing about corporations that eventually extract helium from the moon. I neglected to say Helium 3.
