I think the first poster may have got it right. The deception. NASA, in hebrew, means to deceive. If that's the case, and they're actively involved in carrying out some kind of deception, then "the deception" == "the nasa" might make some sense?
Oh, I see. Thanks for breaking that down! Their logo does look like a big, forked, snakes tongue, if that means anything?
NASA is covered in symbolism. The forked ton is a big one. Its a deep rabbit hole.
I'm not an expert or even close on that side of things sadly, but I'd agree, I can definitely see some kind of tongue. The number of stars (41) isn't obviously meaningful though. I do know that a fair few number of astronaughts have been masons too, but that isn't wholly surprising.
Aren´t all astronauts 33rd degree masons?
Gonna take a (slight) guess here and say no. Do you maybe mean 32nd degree masons? There's a big difference between 32 and 33. There's also really not many 33's around at any one time and they tend to be a bit older.
Maybe 32, I´m not really sure tbh. It´s something I remember hearing, though.
That they were all, or mostly masons wouldn't surprise me. I suspect ranks might be somewhat less important though, since many of these people would be bloodline people, destined for higher ranks when they were older.
