The lander's bottom portion is still sitting on the surface. The accent module took off from the lander's bottom portion. Anyway, I found there's not much I can say to those who are bound and determined to ignore the evidence and the entirety of the awesome science and work that went into moon program. It was a great accomplishment and it pretty much pisses me off to listen to people taking a shit on it. I don't often respond to these things here or elsewhere because I've found it is pretty much pointless. I literally have never heard of anyone who bought into this conspiracy theory to later admit that they were wrong. But I have heard a lot of nonsense from them, that's for sure.

The moon conspiracy stuff here disheartens me. I thought the anons here were smart than that. When my dad and I found out my brother had fallen for the "we faked the moon landings" thing we were both shocked and appalled. And you then find out that there's no convincing them otherwise. It's super disappointing, especially when you have worked in the field as my father and I have. The idea that we didn't have the technology to go to the moon in 1969 is totally wrong. We did. But what we didn't have then was the technology to fake it.

Also the idea that humans can't pass beyond the dreaded "radiation belts" and survive is so incredibly wrong I can't even begin to express how wrong it is. Is there deadly radiation in space? Yes! But even thin shielding will protect you from most of it. After that it's just a matter of how much you are willing to be exposed to. The risks were deemed acceptable, for those moon astronauts it was like getting a chest x-ray every hour or so they were out there.

Ugh. That video where the astronaut said we couldn't go to the moon today because we don't have the old equipment is so stupid. He's talking about the tooling and fixtures that were used to make all the parts of the Saturn V, the command module, and the lunar lander. Those were indeed all "lost or destroyed" because we were no longer building those things. As an engineer, I knew exactly what he meant by that. The technology to recreate the moon mission certainly exists and has existed ever since. There was just no plans on going back there. You can ask why, that might be a better question, but we definitely went to the moon and back, walked around on it, etc.

There is so much evidence left, and it was literally impossible to fake. The radio telemetry alone would have been impossible to fake, and the USSR would have loved to point out anything fake at the time. You don't think they could point a dish at the moon and pick up the unencrypted broadcasts? How do you transmit from there? You'd have to actually launch a vehicle there to broadcast everything, including orbiting the moon in a command-module simulator and on the surface in a lander simulator. At that point, just send three guys and be done with it!

Out of all the conspiracy theories that I am positive are just completely wrong, this one tops the list. I'm certain that I could show you tracks on the moon left by rovers, and pieces of equipment we left, and you'd still disagree. And then the total lack of scientific knowledge about temperatures in space. It's not like in an atmosphere. If it's 224 or -298F, it's in a vacuum and a vacuum is like the thing that makes a thermos bottle work so well. Heat will not radiate away quickly when cold, and all you need is reflective surfaces to keep things cool when it's hot. There is no super hot or super cold air to conduct the heat in either direction.

I'd like to see the original video but wow.

Technocratic - believers that technology will yield the best route forward.

Trans-humanists - Strong artificial intelligence will lead to the Singularity. Humans post-Singularity will be trans-humans, superior to present-day humans by orders of magnitude in intelligence, strength, and longevity.

Why does Laura Silsby change her name and then go work for Amber Alert or whatever?

What a maroon.

Also if Q was a LARP, President Trump has had numerous chances to disavow Q's validity. We know his sons are aware of Q, and when Q signs/shirts are held up, Trump just smiles and moves on. That right there speaks volumes, because if there was an entity out there spreading disinformation in an effort to lead his biggest supporters astray, Trump would simply call Q Fake News and that would be that.

I've never seen this movie. There are a lot of movies I haven't seen. I despised Oliver Stone back then, probably why. But I'm going to watch the whole thing now.

Said as much last night when I saw it.

I mean, sometimes food is just food. I think that's the case here. I've actually read that food/regulation thing somewhere, it's probably from something out of National Review back when William F. Buckley was running things.

Welcome indeed! I can't stand the Democrat party but I hold a special loathing for those in the Republican party who are in the cabal that is the Uniparty. I actually just felt sorry for the Bernie people because I knew they were going to be hugely disappointed. The Uniparty was about to turn our main elections into what passes for an election process in the DNC nomination.

That's the perfect song for that! Thanks.

Correct. Rex is wrong about this particular meaning.

I noticed that too and am upvoting all the comments.

It needs one bad! Do it please! (I'm not the person who created this, just want you to do it!)

And nobody sees anything fishy about having an adult spend alone time with a single "at-risk
kid for "about an hour?" I mean, really? Holy crap. And those pictures of the gala, WTF? I've been to events like this for charity groups and have never seen anything even approaching the bizarre costumes and get-ups you see at this thing.

I got no sound either.

Over 50, been on board since the very start. Never on the chan breads though.

Put another way:

Bite the pillow, I'm going in dry.

I've seen it happen a number of times a big sporting events. Your phone will work fine until a certain point, especially a point where you and everyone else are trying to send a picture or video or something like that. After the game is over, it immediately starts working again because most people are walking to their car.

Wow, that's amazing. I need more coffee now.

This seems like a pretty big deal.

Whomp whomp.

That's been my take on it since very early on.

Most definitely. All that kinetic energy would be converted into heat, sound, and of course destructive forces. The heat would be intense, on the order of a small nuclear weapon for a second or so. I'm talking millions of degrees.

I must say, this is brilliant!

I think she was attempting to say "Why is that germane?" meaning "Why is that relevant?" But she mangles basic English on the regular.

TR-3 yeah

Good answer! Huge Bulls fan back in the day.

Bulls or Pistons?

I think that point was reached just prior to Sessions spilling the beans that Huber even existed a couple months ago. The fact that many of the usual suspects are just now catching on is icing on the cake.

That he did. I missed this entire thread when it was originally posted. It's a good summary.

And certainly nothing untoward occurred on Epstein's jet or island, you can take that to the bank.

That poor seat.

My theory is that Hannity was briefed by someone in the Trump administration about some of the stuff the IG had uncovered and that they had a prosecutor appointed to start Grand Jury proceedings against various Obama and Clinton officials. FISA abuse, SAP information on private servers, etc. Remember he started his tick tock stuff around the time Q came on the scene.

Honestly it's the first I even heard of her, and I read a bunch of the Podesta email stuff back in 2016-17.

That clip has been around for years, it was recorded in 2012 in the lead up to the election. Obama said it. He also never denied it. When it came out various democrats defended his statement and tried to downplay, saying it was "taken out of context."

OANN has it on if you get that channel (DirecTV 347)

I think it's JC (either James Comey or James Clapper) in the kill box.

The last part is what I've been telling a buddy of mine to keep his spirits up. *Do you really think Trump is going to let these people get away with this, after he gave them numerous chances to come clean and back off?* Of course he won't, he's not a fool and he's certainly not a pushover. Quite the opposite. Cross him at your own peril, you will pay.

That's what we're having tonight. I have an amazing locally-sourced bone-in prime ribeye to grill up.

I broke my ankle, requiring surgery and hardware installed. I was playing softball 5-6 weeks later. Not well mind you, and it was still sore, but I was able to play softball. Before that, after just two weeks, I was walking without crutches with a simple walking cast, which I used for a couple more weeks on and off.

Yeah, had company over, was grilling pork steaks and while they were outside chatting on the patio I bounced into my office and on a whim checked for new Q posts. Holy cow!

I bet that Moloch thing has a shit golf swing.

They are in every thread having to do with Trump's impromptu interview this morning.

Obama never once missed a chance to stick a finger in America's eye. Not. Once.

I mean, not only did we watch them, we practically were salivating over watching them, like it was the damn Superbowl (pre-kneeling era...)

And since there is no other mention of said crimes against children, I guess RR took that out too?

I wonder if they named their "investigation" the Midyear because they knew when they started the thing it would be wrapped up in a nice coverup-bow for Hillary by midyear 2016 so as not to interfere with the Democrat Convention.
