You mean the LIE that the moon landing was faked in a studio or a desert or whatever it is? Yeah, I AGREE. A lie is a lie no matter how many people repeat it.
NASA July 1969: "We faked the moon landing, let's do it again!" NASA Nov 1969: "Ha, we got away with it a second time, let's do it again!" NASA April 1970: "Ohhhh, let's adds some extra drama this time around!" NASA Jan 1971: "Ha, we got away with it a third time, let's give it a go for a 4th time!" NASA July 1971: "Geez, everyone keeps falling for this, we're on a roll, 5th times a charm!"

NASA Dec 1972: "My God the American public are such Bozo's to fall for this 6 times in a row, one more time just for laughs!" NASA Jan 1973: "Ok, that's enough, against diminishing odds of repetitive subterfuge we've fooled absolutely everyone, but there's a chance in the future that certain people who have "special insight" and who have "done their own research" might spill the beans on us......
Yes, that's how propaganda works, the bigger the lie, the better it works, as humans fall in line for fear of being kicked out of their tribes. Do you think on 9/11 those buildings could possibly have been brought down by planes, whose fuel and kinetic energy was already spent? Quite a psych-ops. Love the BBC lady who got fed (compartmentalized) info that building 7 had fallen, but it was 20 minutes behind schedule and still standing. Isn't 911 a very handy and American number to remember, if you're pulling off something big? 😉
@@ABBATributeNZ Nope, intentional faking something as incredibly complex as the moon landing seven times just increases the probability of being caught out. ***"planes, whose fuel and kinetic energy was already spent..."*** Kinetic energy was already spent, yes. Fuel, no. Fuel in liquid form doesn't burn, it is the vapour that burns. Considering there was around 40,000 litres of fuel on a plane I'm happy to accept that that a great portion of unvapourised liquid fuel poured down into the guts of the building and continued to burn as it vapourised and weakened the superstructure to the point of eventual failure. I find your use of the term "tribe" interesting considering that it is a fairly archaic terminology that few people in the world would describe for themselves nowadays. Is it possible that your use of the word comes easy to you because you feel part of a small "tribe" of people that feels marginalised because you are "the only group of persons that really knows what's going on"?
As an engineer not in the class that designed the rockets seen by millions - it would be impossible to pull off a fake like that. Too many great minds would have seen thru it. No way.
@@yazzamx6380 everyone doesn’t have to be aware and or part of the deception. Suppose that I told you I need a round trip ride to the bank to make a withdrawal. I go rob the bank. You took me there but you didn’t know what I was truly up too. The only people who have to know about the fake are the astronauts (spooks) (none suffered any effects from the radiation apparently…the same radiation that allegedly damaged the film), film crew (spooks), and whatever deep state entity devised the scheme. Magicians deceive folks constantly via misdirection. The most baffling thing about the fake theory, is that all the other scientists/ nations, quit after we went?

@@generalkang1969 you are right! A leap of faith, ... or a leap of propaganda, ... it's not much of a choice. .. I'm sure you can see that science is not involved in either of these two influences.

Totally fake, but the work and skill put into it is amazing.

@@ABBATributeNZ Also look up the 2002 mockumentary Dark Side Of The Moon by William Karel. Another “exposé” of Stanley Kubrick’s involvement in the moon landing.
Dude, this has to be satire. Can you not see how fake the shots of Kubrick are with him standing around apollo equipment and other people? Most of this footage is from training videos, and educational videos made showing the progress of research, development, and construction of the apollo spacecraft. One of those shots I'm pretty sure was from the movie first man with Ryan Gosling lmao
He sure worked with them on *2001* even thou the impossible normal walking, if only; hopping. bouncing, skipping, kagarooing, falling.... had been filmed to make look real :) Doubt he was directly involved with NASA Productions, Many knew the tricks, and the Budget was there.... with assistance of all GOV Agencies.
You deniers are overlooking a critical detail. To maintain Earth orbit, no power is required after a certain point. The high velocity of a satellite/vehicle is enough to keep it in a state of balanced attraction and free fall; just ask Elon Musk or anybody involved with satellite deployment. Therefore, a little more power would EASILY send a satellite/vehicle beyond the free fall state. After a while, you're far enough away from the Earth's gravitation pull to continue to the Moon at a very fast velocity without any expenditure of propellant. And remember.... your Moon craft is travelling over 25,000 miles an hour! Some satellites orbit 1,200 miles above the Earth at a speed of 17,500. If you sling your object/vehicle carefully, you can overcome the Earth's gravitation pull without any difficulty. NOTE: the Apollo Saturn V rocket weighed 6.2 million pounds at launch. The Gemini Titan II rocket weighed 340,000 pounds. The latter had no problem putting objects in low Earth orbit. Slowing down is merely putting Newton's third law in play, namely for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Firing propellant in the opposite direction of motion will slow down an object regardless of atmosphere. Why? Because your object is fighting against the opposing force of the propellant. In other words, you don't need an atmosphere to slow down or speed up! Also, getting astronauts down to the surface of the Moon does not require nearly as much power as on Earth due to 1/6 gravity. Last, but not least, other less technically advanced nations have landed on the Moon with unmanned contraptions, namely China and India. Why would they lie? With the amount of people involved with the Moon landing space program (I believe around 400,000), you could not hide such an alleged fraud for long. Nevertheless, it remains a mystery why Stanley Kubrick did those shoots. Training reels? Back up footage? Simulation shots for TV, like CBS did? Who knows?
This is one of the most naive arguments. If you don't know by now that the majority of people, even in government, do not know what the aims are of those above them by now, I guess you never will. Project Manhattan, for example, had thousands working on it, creating the atomic bomb, mostly compartmentalised and very few people knowing what the overall aim was. Most of the actual USA government didn't even know! Another thing, people watching monitors of the space journey progression would have no idea whether they were watching real data or not. Compartmentalisation - need to know basis - is another way of saying it, is the key.
@@ABBATributeNZ Sorry if that is a ridiculous argument for trying to get people to believe in this clearly artificially assembled crap. That scene where some yahoo is talking to Kubrick face to face... wowzer, does THAT look real...
@@generalkang1969this documentary is "fake", however it was easier to fake than actually go to the moon. Do you think USA would allow astronauts to die live on air to millions? Think about it. Why 4th generation footage? A projection on a wall then beamed to viewers.
Anyone who thinks the USA would allow the entire world to watch them try and achieve something live to air that had only a tiny chance of succeeding - in their own estimation btw - needs to think again. Imagine the horror and damage of watching astronauts die live on air. I hate to say it, but Bart Sibrel is correct. It was a managed illusion - 4th generation black and white filming in 1969? Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, beautiful high resolution full colour in 1939.
@@ABBATributeNZ Astronauts died in Apollo 1, the Challenger and Columbia, all were public info and we are still launching into space daily. Your comment really goes against reality.
I'm wondering why he's asking me that question? I'm just a stupid, Broadcast Engineer with only a GED. And my first thought was, the Launch Switch. But of course. I knew it couldn't possibly be that. That would be ridiculous. And so I just said, I don't know? He replied it was the Launch Switch. The launch switch? I asked, you didn't have a backup for that switch? He said no they did not. And the switch was in front of him. As he was to pilot the Lunar Module back to the, Columbia, Command Module. Since, Neil had, landed it. And there was no backup secondary launch switch. He told me. He went on to tell me. That he and Neil. Talked about the very real possibility. They are not going back. There is no backup plan. For a broken launch switch. And they only had a few hours left of oxygen. And battery power. And it will not be a pleasant end. There was no contingency plan for that kind of, calamity. And they would be dead in hours. Freeze-dried monuments on the moon. For all eternity to come. But then he tells me. That a Pencil. Saved their lives. A pencil? By that time. The Scotch and Rocks was working. And I laughed. And asks, so what did you do then? Write out some, Mathematical Formulas? He said no. He tells me it was a brand-new, Yellow, No. 2, pencil. Just like the kind we all used in school, he said. And asks me. What holds the eraser on? I said that little metal band. He said right. And it looked like. The pencil. Could fit into that hole in the panel. And if he pulls the eraser out with his big bulky gloves on. Perhaps that metal band might, connect. With the internal context within the switch. And maybe the launch rocket will, ignite? But they had no way of testing that. Until they were ready to lift off. He told me. And it was uncertain. Whether it would work? He went on to say to me. Of course it did work. We are sitting here talking. And told me. He had to hold it in place. During the entire ascent back to the CM. And Neil would pilot it back. As he had to hold onto the pencil the whole time. To keep the rocket burning. As they could just switch it on and switch it off. So he couldn't let go. Oh my God! That is beyond harrowing. These Astronauts were just Incredible Human Beings. And he has, 4 PhD's. And I'm a high school dropout with the GED. Sitting there speaking with this, Great American Historic Hero. I mean who am I? I'm just a Audio Broadcast Engine here. And I had the honor. To sit and speak with Buzz Aldrin. For it must've been at least a 20 minute conversation we had. While everybody else is having a great time, schmoozing, rubbing elbows, having conversation. And I got to sit and speak with, Buzz Aldrin. Over Scotch and Rocks. How prophetic. It was such an incredible honor for me. It was like meeting God. Only in the flesh and alive. To tell about it. And I got it from the horses mouth it happened to. And because I, called him/them/NASA. On the carpet over not testing that one thing. When they tested everything else for, years. That's one of the creepiest stories I have ever heard told to me. I'm so grateful, happy, relieved. They were able to make it back. And you don't think a story like that. Unless it actually happened. It's part of the trip. They really don't want people to know about. Though it has been covered. In one documentary, I watched. But they got the information wrong. In that documentary. They mentioned the switch failure. And they said a ballpoint pen, saved their lives. Nope! He was very clear about that brand-new Yellow No. 2 pencil. And said to me. Just like the one you used in school. That's not a ballpoint pen. So I know that we went. I know the risks. All of these guys took with their own lives. For the betterment of Science and the USA. These guys are the True Patriots. And they do not mess around. They had a Mission to Perform for the USA. And they Dedicated their lives to Science and the USA. These guys do not Brag. About what they didn't accomplish. They are very Proud. Of what they Did Accomplish. And while I believe, Buzz Aldrin, is a Republican. He is a very Progressive Lincoln Republican. And he's interested in Facts, Knowledge, Numbers. Not fairytales. And while he was most obviously also, Christian. I think he knew. It wasn't, Lord God Jesus Christ. Looking over them. It was their own brains. Their talents. Their education. What they learned. What they did. And lived to tell about it. Of those who lived. As there were those losses. From stupid mistakes by, Rocket Scientists. Because they had, No Quality Control Manager in charge of the Production Floor. Like me. Some people are learned with advanced college degrees. Other people are just incredibly intelligent, like myself. I think, Craig Ventnor and I have similar backgrounds. That included a GED.. And that's about it.

I said no no no please don't! You don't want me doing those shows. I am not the right candidate for those shows. But they didn't care. They said you're a good engineer you'll do fine. And they said it just that way. Unfortunately they were correct. And I did, too fine. Which got me to that, Elitist Washington DC Social Gathering. Because I was also friends with the Host of the, John McLaughlin Shows. That's who was throwing this exclusive party. He would always invite the crew. Nobody would ever show up except the director. Who told me he felt obligated. I was not obligated. I was the Party Girl. As he also knew me. And I worked with him. When I was still a Guy. And I'm fun at parties. This is all a very real story. About Buzz Aldrin and my conversation with him. Just an incredible honor. I freak out to this very day. Just recalling that conversation. How close it came to a total disaster. That was no disaster. We really did it. And multiple times over. But so close to death. Each time. RemyRAD
I can certainly understand why Stanley Kubrick would want to, Re-create. This historical and momentous occasion. For a movie he was contemplating, making. As a sequel to, 2001. And you have to set up shots. And try them out. Take a look at them. See how they play. And who knows? He may have been standing by. As if something went terribly wrong on the moon. They could switch to his Set. To change the narrative as to what happened. As I'm also sure. The US Government and NASA had a, PR, Contingency Plan. In case the very worst, happened. We would have face, to save. And to let our Russian adversaries, know what wasn't happening. At that kind of Propaganda is important to have ready. Have it, at the ready. For the other subsequent, landings. Since he had an example of the first to view. And try to match up. It may have been over 50 years ago. But Hollywood was still quite capable. At creating make-believe, scenarios. Through Hollywood Movie Magic. As we really had no, CG (Computer Graphics), quite yet. It all had to be prepared on set, with the camera, first. And Stanley Kubrick was very good at that. He was a Visionary. Just like Arthur C Clarke was. These men were incredible. As incredible as the astronauts, themselves. And Stanley was British, not Californian. Where was Orson Welles? He made a very believable movie. Just a couple of decades earlier. People jumped out of windows over that one. Hey buddy it's only a movie! Whoops too late. Maybe that's why they didn't get Orson Welles? And Edgar Allan Poe was already dead, so? They grabbed Stanley Kubrick. He was the New Hot Movie Director. Before George Lucas was old enough. Who never had an original thought of his own. Even stealing the name, Star Trek-Star Wars. Give me a break? Just another Hollywood rich kid. That also never had to work for a living. As he was born in Hollywood. He didn't have to go far to get there. Yes it happened. We landed. We had to beat the Russians. We really had no choice. And we had the best Scientists. We always have. As they care more about human life. Than, Russians ever did. That's why we were running behind. And in our rush. We lost Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee. As haste makes waste. NASA discovered. And then they got lax again in 1986. Being warned not to launch the Challenger. But they were impatient and couldn't wait. Haste makes waste. And look at all the people that got wasted. Without Pot! Yet, Pot. Could have prevented that. Because anybody high on Pot. Would've said… Yeah it's a bit too cold. Hey don't Bogart that joint! And they would still be alive, today. But no! NASA scientists went Brain Dead. As they were all sober and thought it would work. So much for sobriety. They would have delayed it for a warmer sunny day. Because that's what people on Pot, like. Especially at the beach. But no! Nobody listened to the smart ones. Telling them not to launch. So really what it comes down to is? I should be in charge of NASA. We would have government Pot to hand out to everybody. And take a vote. Smoke another joint or launch? And they would still be alive today. As I felt the worst for, Christia McAuliffe and her family. That was just the worst! I mean it was bad enough they killed all of those scientists. But to kill an innocent passenger who was a beloved teacher and mom. No extra precautions were considered. No extra care, taken. Their lives, taken, instead. Through Stupidity from Rocket Scientists. And that's why they need a Proper Quality Control Manager, like myself. I'm just an, Engineer. I'm not a scientist. I am Practical and Pragmatic. And I won't fly in bad weather, either. Unless it's for life or death. Mostly, it never is for that. Unless you got an, Organ Transplant, waiting. Then you might risk life and limb to save another life. Not just for a Joy Ride! And I know that we went. How do I know? I got invited to an, Exclusive, Elitist, Washington DC, social gathering. And there he was. Oh my God! I not only have to say hi to this guy. I want to, speak with him. And who was it? I sat down with, my scotch and rocks. Along with another guy who had rocks. Also with his scotch. Not the ones that he and Neil Armstrong. Brought back from the moon. I'm having conversations with, Buzz Aldrin. Oh my God! I was only 13 years old when they landed. I am then in my, early 30s. Working as a Top Engineer for NBC-TV News, in Washington DC. When I got invited to this, private gathering. When I posed to, Buzz Aldrin. That you guys. Did not test everything before you landed. To which. He replied. They tested everything, before they landed. I said no you did not. He started getting irritated at that, accusation. And asked me. What do you think we didn't test? I said to him. Apollo, 8-9 and 10. All had a Lunar Module, with them. And while they did not plan. To land a human on the moon yet. You guys. Never flew that Lunar Module. Via remote control. To, land it, on the moon. And then lift it off. By remote control. You guys did not do that. At that moment. He realized I was right. And he verified that. And said. They had a Simulator they used here on earth. I said yeah. Famous footage we've all seen. It's that flying spider. That suddenly, tilts over 45°. A puff of smoke comes out the top. And it smashes into the ground in a burst of flames. And you see a parachute with somebody landing near the flames. And we all know now. That was Neil Armstrong almost getting killed in the simulator. He said yes I was right about what I had said. He said the had no way. To land it by remote control. And then lift it off from the moon. Via remote control. They had no ability to do that. Which kind of blew my mind. I wanted to say… What you mean you didn't have any ability to do that? But I didn't say that. He went on to tell me. They had High Confidence. The, Lunar Module would work as designed. And felt they had nothing to worry about. But then he said something. He then told me. You're right. We almost did not make it back alive. He said. But not for the reasons of not testing stuff. No. He went on to tell me. He said he they did not know. Whether it was him or Neil? But because they are spacesuits were so large and bulky. One of them bumped into a switch. On their control panel. Which was a Toggle Switch. He told me. And broke it right off. There was merely a, hole in the panel. Where the switch mechanism once was. And the parts sitting on the floor. They could do nothing about. He said he didn't know which one of them bumped into it? And then he asked me. Which switch do you think got broken? (More Cosmic Vibrations in following post)
That was an entertaining read. Apollo 10 did test all of the landing procedures while in lunar orbit. “Stafford and Cernan entered the LM and prepared for the undocking maneuver that occurred on the 12th revolution, a little more than 98 hours into the flight. At about 100 hours, on May 22, the vehicles separated and briefly flew a station-keeping lunar orbit of 66.7 by 71.5 miles. To achieve a simulation of the future Apollo 11 landing, the LM descent engine fired for 27.4 seconds, with 10 percent thrust for the first 15 seconds and 40 percent thrust for the rest. This brought the LM to a new orbit of 9.7 by 70.5 miles. The LM flew over Landing Site 2 in the Sea of Tranquility. During this run, the LM landing radar was tested for altitude functioning, providing both “high gate” and “low gate” data. Following a 7.5-second firing of the LM reaction control system, or RCS, thrusters, the descent engine fired in two bursts for 40.1 seconds - at 10 percent and at full throttle - placing the LM into an orbit of 13.7 by 219 miles. On the 14th revolution, it reached a pericynthion of 12.7 miles and was “staged.” The descent stage jettisoned on a second attempt and an uncontrollable gyration of the ascent stage occurred. It was later attributed to an error in a flight-plan checklist, causing an incorrect switch position. The ascent engine fired for 15 seconds, lowering the LM apocythion to 53.8 miles, 230 miles behind and below the CSM. The RCS thrusters fired for 27.3 seconds when the LM was 16.9 miles below the CSM and 170.4 miles behind, yielding an orbit of 54.5 by 48.1 miles. To prepare for the terminal phase of rendezvous, the RCS fired again, resulting in an orbit of 17.2 by 81.7 miles. Stafford sighted the CSM’s running lights at about 48 miles. The 15-second terminal phase initiation firing reduced velocity as the LM entered an intercept trajectory and the two vehicles achieved station-keeping of the 16th lunar revolution. With Young in the CSM taking on an active rendezvous role, the vehicles were re-docked on May 23, slightly more than 106 hours into the mission. The LM ascent stage jettisoned and its engine fired to depletion.”

Considering there was around 40,000 litres of fuel on a plane I'm happy to accept that that a great portion of unvapourised liquid fuel poured down into the guts of the building and continued to burn as it vapourised and weakened the superstructure to the point of eventual failure.
I find your use of the term "tribe" interesting considering that it is a fairly archaic terminology that few people in the world would describe for themselves nowadays. Is it possible that your use of the word comes easy to you because you feel part of a small "tribe" of people that feels marginalised because you are "the only group of persons that really knows what's going on"?

Because we collected all the knowledge we needed from the six Apollo missions. Going to the moon is very expensive and Congress cut the budget.

You deniers are overlooking a critical detail. To maintain Earth orbit, no power is required after a certain point. The high velocity of a satellite/vehicle is enough to keep it in a state of balanced attraction and free fall; just ask Elon Musk or anybody involved with satellite deployment. Therefore, a little more power would EASILY send a satellite/vehicle beyond the free fall state. After a while, you're far enough away from the Earth's gravitation pull to continue to the Moon at a very fast velocity without any expenditure of propellant. And remember.... your Moon craft is travelling over 25,000 miles an hour! Some satellites orbit 1,200 miles above the Earth at a speed of 17,500. If you sling your object/vehicle carefully, you can overcome the Earth's gravitation pull without any difficulty.
NOTE: the Apollo Saturn V rocket weighed 6.2 million pounds at launch. The Gemini Titan II rocket weighed 340,000 pounds. The latter had no problem putting objects in low Earth orbit.
Slowing down is merely putting Newton's third law in play, namely for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Firing propellant in the opposite direction of motion will slow down an object regardless of atmosphere. Why? Because your object is fighting against the opposing force of the propellant. In other words, you don't need an atmosphere to slow down or speed up! Also, getting astronauts down to the surface of the Moon does not require nearly as much power as on Earth due to 1/6 gravity. Last, but not least, other less technically advanced nations have landed on the Moon with unmanned contraptions, namely China and India. Why would they lie?
With the amount of people involved with the Moon landing space program (I believe around 400,000), you could not hide such an alleged fraud for long.
Nevertheless, it remains a mystery why Stanley Kubrick did those shoots. Training reels? Back up footage? Simulation shots for TV, like CBS did? Who knows?
History is repeating itself over and over and...
With the amount of poeple involved humans being humans someone would have spilled the beens. Whisteblowers the new....I think it musta happened? ?
This is one of the most naive arguments. If you don't know by now that the majority of people, even in government, do not know what the aims are of those above them by now, I guess you never will. Project Manhattan, for example, had thousands working on it, creating the atomic bomb, mostly compartmentalised and very few people knowing what the overall aim was. Most of the actual USA government didn't even know!
Another thing, people watching monitors of the space journey progression would have no idea whether they were watching real data or not. Compartmentalisation - need to know basis - is another way of saying it, is the key.

I'm wondering why he's asking me that question? I'm just a stupid, Broadcast Engineer with only a GED. And my first thought was, the Launch Switch. But of course. I knew it couldn't possibly be that. That would be ridiculous. And so I just said, I don't know?
He replied it was the Launch Switch. The launch switch? I asked, you didn't have a backup for that switch? He said no they did not. And the switch was in front of him. As he was to pilot the Lunar Module back to the, Columbia, Command Module. Since, Neil had, landed it. And there was no backup secondary launch switch. He told me.
He went on to tell me. That he and Neil. Talked about the very real possibility. They are not going back. There is no backup plan. For a broken launch switch. And they only had a few hours left of oxygen. And battery power. And it will not be a pleasant end. There was no contingency plan for that kind of, calamity. And they would be dead in hours. Freeze-dried monuments on the moon. For all eternity to come.
But then he tells me. That a Pencil. Saved their lives. A pencil?
By that time. The Scotch and Rocks was working. And I laughed. And asks, so what did you do then? Write out some, Mathematical Formulas? He said no.
He tells me it was a brand-new, Yellow, No. 2, pencil. Just like the kind we all used in school, he said. And asks me. What holds the eraser on? I said that little metal band. He said right. And it looked like. The pencil. Could fit into that hole in the panel. And if he pulls the eraser out with his big bulky gloves on. Perhaps that metal band might, connect. With the internal context within the switch. And maybe the launch rocket will, ignite? But they had no way of testing that. Until they were ready to lift off. He told me. And it was uncertain. Whether it would work?
He went on to say to me. Of course it did work. We are sitting here talking. And told me. He had to hold it in place. During the entire ascent back to the CM. And Neil would pilot it back. As he had to hold onto the pencil the whole time. To keep the rocket burning. As they could just switch it on and switch it off. So he couldn't let go.
Oh my God! That is beyond harrowing. These Astronauts were just Incredible Human Beings. And he has, 4 PhD's. And I'm a high school dropout with the GED. Sitting there speaking with this, Great American Historic Hero. I mean who am I? I'm just a Audio Broadcast Engine here. And I had the honor. To sit and speak with Buzz Aldrin. For it must've been at least a 20 minute conversation we had. While everybody else is having a great time, schmoozing, rubbing elbows, having conversation. And I got to sit and speak with, Buzz Aldrin. Over Scotch and Rocks. How prophetic.
It was such an incredible honor for me. It was like meeting God. Only in the flesh and alive. To tell about it. And I got it from the horses mouth it happened to. And because I, called him/them/NASA. On the carpet over not testing that one thing. When they tested everything else for, years.
That's one of the creepiest stories I have ever heard told to me. I'm so grateful, happy, relieved. They were able to make it back. And you don't think a story like that. Unless it actually happened. It's part of the trip. They really don't want people to know about. Though it has been covered. In one documentary, I watched. But they got the information wrong.
In that documentary. They mentioned the switch failure. And they said a ballpoint pen, saved their lives. Nope! He was very clear about that brand-new Yellow No. 2 pencil. And said to me. Just like the one you used in school. That's not a ballpoint pen.
So I know that we went. I know the risks. All of these guys took with their own lives. For the betterment of Science and the USA. These guys are the True Patriots. And they do not mess around. They had a Mission to Perform for the USA. And they Dedicated their lives to Science and the USA.
These guys do not Brag. About what they didn't accomplish. They are very Proud. Of what they Did Accomplish.
And while I believe, Buzz Aldrin, is a Republican. He is a very Progressive Lincoln Republican. And he's interested in Facts, Knowledge, Numbers. Not fairytales. And while he was most obviously also, Christian. I think he knew. It wasn't, Lord God Jesus Christ. Looking over them. It was their own brains. Their talents. Their education. What they learned. What they did. And lived to tell about it. Of those who lived. As there were those losses. From stupid mistakes by, Rocket Scientists. Because they had, No Quality Control Manager in charge of the Production Floor. Like me.
Some people are learned with advanced college degrees. Other people are just incredibly intelligent, like myself. I think, Craig Ventnor and I have similar backgrounds. That included a GED.. And that's about it.
I mean unless you want to become a medical doctor or a rocket scientist, astronaut, geologist, electrical engineer. Those require college degrees.
But for The Recording Arts & Sciences. And Broadcasting. You merely need, Talent.. And that, sound travels at, 1100 feet, per second. At sea level. At 72°F. And light goes a little faster at 186,000 mi./s. At sea level or space level. It goes that speed. A little slower makes it, red. A little faster makes it, blue. But always that speed. And whether it's coming or going. Maybe sideways? I don't know? I'm just a GED Engineer.
I mean I went to the, University of Marijuana. U of Mmmmm… Look! A chicken!
It's a bitch having, ADD. Otherwise Astronaut would have been good. Had I been able to get through a few, college degrees. But ADD will do that to you. As I couldn't learn through conventional means. And you don't get a degree unless you play the game their way. And hand over all your money. When you are not a 4.0 average student.
I never wanted to work for NBC-TV News. That wasn't my style. I was hired for NBC Radio, FM, Rock and Roll Music Group. I worked for, 3 years. When they then discovered. They had a Hottie Audio Engineer, in their midst. And took me out of radio. I wanted to do, SNL. But no! They wanted me doing the News and Political Shows. I said no no no please don't! You don't want me doing those shows. I am not the right candidate for those shows. But they didn't care. They said you're a good engineer you'll do fine. And they said it just that way.
Unfortunately they were correct. And I did, too fine. Which got me to that, Elitist Washington DC Social Gathering. Because I was also friends with the Host of the, John McLaughlin Shows. That's who was throwing this exclusive party. He would always invite the crew. Nobody would ever show up except the director. Who told me he felt obligated. I was not obligated. I was the Party Girl. As he also knew me. And I worked with him. When I was still a Guy. And I'm fun at parties.
This is all a very real story. About Buzz Aldrin and my conversation with him. Just an incredible honor. I freak out to this very day. Just recalling that conversation. How close it came to a total disaster. That was no disaster.
We really did it. And multiple times over. But so close to death. Each time.

Kubrick stuff was so fake looking, makes the moon landing look like HD 2024 movies.
I can certainly understand why Stanley Kubrick would want to, Re-create. This historical and momentous occasion. For a movie he was contemplating, making. As a sequel to, 2001.
And you have to set up shots. And try them out. Take a look at them. See how they play.
And who knows? He may have been standing by. As if something went terribly wrong on the moon. They could switch to his Set. To change the narrative as to what happened. As I'm also sure. The US Government and NASA had a, PR, Contingency Plan. In case the very worst, happened. We would have face, to save. And to let our Russian adversaries, know what wasn't happening. At that kind of Propaganda is important to have ready. Have it, at the ready. For the other subsequent, landings. Since he had an example of the first to view. And try to match up.
It may have been over 50 years ago. But Hollywood was still quite capable. At creating make-believe, scenarios. Through Hollywood Movie Magic. As we really had no, CG (Computer Graphics), quite yet. It all had to be prepared on set, with the camera, first. And Stanley Kubrick was very good at that. He was a Visionary. Just like Arthur C Clarke was. These men were incredible. As incredible as the astronauts, themselves. And Stanley was British, not Californian. Where was Orson Welles? He made a very believable movie. Just a couple of decades earlier. People jumped out of windows over that one. Hey buddy it's only a movie! Whoops too late. Maybe that's why they didn't get Orson Welles? And Edgar Allan Poe was already dead, so? They grabbed Stanley Kubrick. He was the New Hot Movie Director. Before George Lucas was old enough. Who never had an original thought of his own. Even stealing the name, Star Trek-Star Wars. Give me a break? Just another Hollywood rich kid. That also never had to work for a living. As he was born in Hollywood. He didn't have to go far to get there.
Yes it happened. We landed. We had to beat the Russians. We really had no choice. And we had the best Scientists. We always have. As they care more about human life. Than, Russians ever did. That's why we were running behind. And in our rush. We lost Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee. As haste makes waste. NASA discovered.
And then they got lax again in 1986. Being warned not to launch the Challenger. But they were impatient and couldn't wait. Haste makes waste. And look at all the people that got wasted. Without Pot! Yet, Pot. Could have prevented that. Because anybody high on Pot. Would've said… Yeah it's a bit too cold. Hey don't Bogart that joint!
And they would still be alive, today. But no! NASA scientists went Brain Dead. As they were all sober and thought it would work. So much for sobriety. They would have delayed it for a warmer sunny day. Because that's what people on Pot, like. Especially at the beach. But no! Nobody listened to the smart ones. Telling them not to launch.
So really what it comes down to is? I should be in charge of NASA. We would have government Pot to hand out to everybody. And take a vote. Smoke another joint or launch? And they would still be alive today. As I felt the worst for, Christia McAuliffe and her family. That was just the worst!
I mean it was bad enough they killed all of those scientists. But to kill an innocent passenger who was a beloved teacher and mom. No extra precautions were considered. No extra care, taken. Their lives, taken, instead. Through Stupidity from Rocket Scientists.
And that's why they need a Proper Quality Control Manager, like myself. I'm just an, Engineer. I'm not a scientist. I am Practical and Pragmatic. And I won't fly in bad weather, either. Unless it's for life or death. Mostly, it never is for that. Unless you got an, Organ Transplant, waiting. Then you might risk life and limb to save another life. Not just for a Joy Ride!
And I know that we went. How do I know?
I got invited to an, Exclusive, Elitist, Washington DC, social gathering. And there he was. Oh my God! I not only have to say hi to this guy. I want to, speak with him. And who was it?
I sat down with, my scotch and rocks. Along with another guy who had rocks. Also with his scotch. Not the ones that he and Neil Armstrong. Brought back from the moon. I'm having conversations with, Buzz Aldrin. Oh my God!
I was only 13 years old when they landed. I am then in my, early 30s. Working as a Top Engineer for NBC-TV News, in Washington DC. When I got invited to this, private gathering.
When I posed to, Buzz Aldrin. That you guys. Did not test everything before you landed. To which. He replied. They tested everything, before they landed. I said no you did not. He started getting irritated at that, accusation. And asked me. What do you think we didn't test?
I said to him. Apollo, 8-9 and 10. All had a Lunar Module, with them. And while they did not plan. To land a human on the moon yet. You guys. Never flew that Lunar Module. Via remote control. To, land it, on the moon. And then lift it off. By remote control. You guys did not do that.
At that moment. He realized I was right. And he verified that. And said. They had a Simulator they used here on earth. I said yeah. Famous footage we've all seen. It's that flying spider. That suddenly, tilts over 45°. A puff of smoke comes out the top. And it smashes into the ground in a burst of flames. And you see a parachute with somebody landing near the flames. And we all know now. That was Neil Armstrong almost getting killed in the simulator.
He said yes I was right about what I had said. He said the had no way. To land it by remote control. And then lift it off from the moon. Via remote control. They had no ability to do that. Which kind of blew my mind. I wanted to say… What you mean you didn't have any ability to do that? But I didn't say that.
He went on to tell me. They had High Confidence. The, Lunar Module would work as designed. And felt they had nothing to worry about. But then he said something.
He then told me. You're right. We almost did not make it back alive. He said. But not for the reasons of not testing stuff. No.
He went on to tell me. He said he they did not know. Whether it was him or Neil? But because they are spacesuits were so large and bulky. One of them bumped into a switch. On their control panel. Which was a Toggle Switch. He told me. And broke it right off. There was merely a, hole in the panel. Where the switch mechanism once was. And the parts sitting on the floor. They could do nothing about.
He said he didn't know which one of them bumped into it? And then he asked me. Which switch do you think got broken?

That was an entertaining read. Apollo 10 did test all of the landing procedures while in lunar orbit.
“Stafford and Cernan entered the LM and prepared for the undocking maneuver that occurred on the 12th revolution, a little more than 98 hours into the flight. At about 100 hours, on May 22, the vehicles separated and briefly flew a station-keeping lunar orbit of 66.7 by 71.5 miles. To achieve a simulation of the future Apollo 11 landing, the LM descent engine fired for 27.4 seconds, with 10 percent thrust for the first 15 seconds and 40 percent thrust for the rest. This brought the LM to a new orbit of 9.7 by 70.5 miles.
The LM flew over Landing Site 2 in the Sea of Tranquility. During this run, the LM landing radar was tested for altitude functioning, providing both “high gate” and “low gate” data. Following a 7.5-second firing of the LM reaction control system, or RCS, thrusters, the descent engine fired in two bursts for 40.1 seconds - at 10 percent and at full throttle - placing the LM into an orbit of 13.7 by 219 miles. On the 14th revolution, it reached a pericynthion of 12.7 miles and was “staged.” The descent stage jettisoned on a second attempt and an uncontrollable gyration of the ascent stage occurred. It was later attributed to an error in a flight-plan checklist, causing an incorrect switch position.
The ascent engine fired for 15 seconds, lowering the LM apocythion to 53.8 miles, 230 miles behind and below the CSM. The RCS thrusters fired for 27.3 seconds when the LM was 16.9 miles below the CSM and 170.4 miles behind, yielding an orbit of 54.5 by 48.1 miles. To prepare for the terminal phase of rendezvous, the RCS fired again, resulting in an orbit of 17.2 by 81.7 miles.
Stafford sighted the CSM’s running lights at about 48 miles. The 15-second terminal phase initiation firing reduced velocity as the LM entered an intercept trajectory and the two vehicles achieved station-keeping of the 16th lunar revolution. With Young in the CSM taking on an active rendezvous role, the vehicles were re-docked on May 23, slightly more than 106 hours into the mission. The LM ascent stage jettisoned and its engine fired to depletion.”
