lol more nonsense! THANKS!
This the moon thread has me wondering why NASA Cosmonaughts seen to behave so strangely. Why won't Neil do the simple act of swearing on the bible about it ?
And look at these guys, instead of being excited about the MOON LANDING, the look and act like they are being interrogated.
A moon denier. :lamo
That's no moon. It's a space station. :lol:

No, really. That "Big Bang Theory" episode wasn't making that up. (although it would be pretty difficult for an amateur to do on their own, you'd need precision to a few arcseconds I think.
Here's a BBC bit on it.
Michael learned that walk on the moon.
Neil Armstrong Refuses to Swear on the Bilble that he Walked on the Moon
How funny. You think Pin is going to provide evidence of any of his claimsProve that.
This is boring. You can have no such evidence, because prior to the landings the resolution was insufficient to make accurate measurements.
Ruby Eye Scans the Heavens
In the Sacramento Mountains near Cloudcroft, New Mexico, a laser keeps a ruby eye peeled for missiles and satellites. Operated by Air Force Systems Command, this instrument fires a searching laser beam hundreds of times finer (or narrow) than radar, picks up the reflected signals with an optical telescope, and measures the distance to the target.
As with microwave radar, the time each pulsed signal takes to go to the target and return reveals the distance automatically.
At 500 miles, radar can determine the distance within an error of about 100 feet; the laser narrows the error to about 25 feet. Moreover, the laser range finder, which requires a much smaller antenna, is more difficult for an enemy to detect or jam.
The laser's enormous advantage lies in its almost perfectly parallel, or collimated, radiation. When passed through a telescope-in-reverse, the beam diverges as little as a third of an inch in a mile of travel, and thus dissipates its power very slowly.
Four years ago (1962), a ruby laser considerably smaller than those now available shot a series of pulses at the moon, 240,000 miles away. The beams illuminated a spot less than two miles in diameter and were reflected back to earth with enough strength to be measured by ultrasensitive electronic equipment. The beam of a high-quality searchlight, if it reached that far, would spread out to several times the moon's 2,160-mile diameter.
Such fantastic directivity, combined with brightness, gives the laser incalculable value for a host of jobs in war and peace. For example, here are some of the most important potential uses:

Always funny to see people who have done no research, are the ones that think they know.
Ah well, such is the state of the world..
well, I just did, it seems.
When are you going to?
Why would any moron even ask him to?
Why should he swear on an old book of stories just to please an idiot? The Russians have cosmonauts, the USA has astronauts, by the way.
Why would any moron even ask him to?
There's a reflector set up you can bounce a laser off.
Sure there is. :lamo
I suppose you CT guys think all these nearly 1,000 Apollo 11 photos are faked:

No you didn't.
