Impact of Apollo 16's booster is spotted on the moon
Daily Mail ^ | December 1, 2015 | Cheyene MacDonald

It was no accident that Nasa crashed one of its Apollo 16 rocket boosters onto the moon, but the researchers never intended to lose it.

In April of 1972, the booster drifted off and was never seen again, unable to transmit tracking data and reveal its whereabouts because of a malfunction.

Now, almost 44 years later, the crash site of the Saturn V stage-three booster has finally been located.

Too many people to sustain such a conspiracy.

Too bad for you then.

OK, so the universe has definite boundaries. Then what is beyond those boundaries? What’s on the other side?

A boundary is typically a dividing line or mark where there is something on one side and something else on the other. If there is nothing on the other side, then there are no boundaries and it has to be infinite.

I’d hoped you were joking. More’s the pity.

Apollo astronauts could not withstand 100 REMs for hours when the IAEA occupational limit is 5 REMs per year.

Also, I suggest lithium for your manic depression.

You use “moontruth.org” as a source? I rest my case, idiot.

That’s a cool story. I saw the Pink Floyd movie. That was weird.

Enough of the pigmouth abuse. If there's a point in the linked webpage you disagree with, say so. But your filthy mouth is over the top, and you know it. So knock it off and grow up, and stop being a punk.

I have not used a single curse word. I have challenged several assertions you made. You have not responded to any of them. I stand by my earlier assessment of your intelligence. I am done with you.

In case I haven’t been clear, I have utter contempt for idiots like you, idiot.

I don't think so. I think you're just a paid shill working a technique. Your idiotic idea is to so bludgeon me over the top, to violate all decorum, to rape decency to such an extreme extent, to express such animalistic hatred over this topic, that you create a psychological fear in people over thining outside of the government box on this topic. You took a class on this stuff, and you're already a thug by temperment, so this is your idiotic interpretation of your training.

The truth is that there's an massive amount of information out there calling into doubt the moon landing story, virtually all of it having to do with the safety of the astronauts. It would take, as you said, a high school science background to believe the Van Allen radiation belts are so easily flown through. Because anyone with more of an understanding of that would easily see that the level of ionizing radiation, and the sheer size of the belts, is far too big for the astronauts to pass through safely. That's why NASA is sending unmanned Orion probes through it even today, and calling it deadly.

The fact is you have nothing, so you've resorted to thuggery. That's not new. What's new is that you have to be the lowest scumbag that ever practiced this technique on Free Republic, having literally no shame over expressing yourself lower than an animal, and dumber than a box of rocks. Your mind is filthy, thanks so much for sharing how degraded you are.

As for your numbered points, none of them are proven, and all of them depend on trusting the media or your sheer ignorance of how the real world works:

1. The only thing that was televised live was the launch and retrievals. The rest could easily have been pre-recorded, or transmitted from low Earth orbit. Vidoe has actually been found transmitted supposedly halfway to the moon, when the windows should have been black, but they were actually badly papered over and showed brilliant light shining through, as from the Earth from a spacecraft in orbit.

2. Hundreds of millions of people watching television is not an argument. Using it as an argument is an act of ignorance so profound, I'm surprised you can type.

3. Russians undoubtedly know the truth of the moon missions. Your lack of understanding of the use of leverage and symbiosis in international relations brands you as a child.

4. Jodrell Bank could have been lying, or tracking unmanned craft. You can prove nothing from this.

5. Recent photographs are far from clear, and in any event, could merely portray remote controlled equipment - if they are even real photographs. After all, where do the photos come from, NASA? Oh, they'll tell the truth.

6. The supposed moon rocks have in fact been found duplicated in rock samples from Antarctica.

7. Your ignorance over the methods of compartmentalization are too extreme for you to even begin to understand how so many people could be out of the loop, so why bother explaining it - I might as well talk to a plant about it, as you.

8. Death bed confessions would destroy their personal life hisotries, possibly destroy the pensions for their families, and why do you think, if they exist, they'd be admitted? There's a little organization called the FBI that would make short work of any notes they left behind.

9. It's not that we faked it six times that's remarkable - the real question is why did we stop going to the moon after making such a huge effort to get there? Raw material mining, staging base for both civilian and military activities, exploration, all avialable, and we walked away after only six visits? Ridiculous!

10. I was ten years old when we landed on the moon. Your contempt for young people is yet another irrelevency, in your long list of rock-stupid personal attacks against me.

You listed ten points, along with personal slander for each one, and none of them - not one - is definitive. You're actually really, really bad at your job, you know that? They should put you back to guard duty where you belong, out past the base garbage dump.

Another moon-landing doubter? Sorry, dude, I KNOW an amateur radio operator who received the CSM's S-band signal EN ROUTE to the moon. You can't fake that-- he wasn't in on it!

In another 15 years, there will be similar claims that 9/11 never happened, that there were never any towers in NYC. Good grief.

You are full of it.

I KNOW people who have used those retroreflectors.

What a sick society this is.
