Nah you couldn't we have Crusher Collins and Gerry (bouncing bomb) Brownlee in opposition where they should stay, try getting past that combo trained and tainted by Ponytailgate.

1450635 2018-06-18 20:01:00 Perhaps my landing force of one guy with a Glock will come in on your southern beaches . Ahhh! Normandy all over again .

You'll have me at your doorstep in less than the week it takes to walk the whole length of your upturned tectonic plate!

Is it open season on penguins or kangaroos? - I will have to live off the native, indigenous protein sources .

1450636 2018-06-18 21:03:00 Back to point of my OP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

What I believe is that the first moon landing was faked - fooled a lot of people who actually thought their monitors were showing a real moon walk .

I DO believe that subsequent moon landings were 100% real - but this one was not .

Remember that the whole NASA group was under the gun from JFK's assignment of getting the US to the moon in one decade .

That was the break point for me - what with the things I saw and remember from that day:


NO sonic booms . Did we all have selective deafness at the same time?
NO arching contrail from re-entry . I've got nothing here .
IFF pings on an aircraft that we did not see nor hear .
That we hurried to a new - unable-to-assess-by-pretty-much-anyone-location - we were a very fast converted cruiser hull 'Jeep Carrier' with an "A Deck" .
This was NOT a last moment - 'Oops, we miscalculate the recovery zone" move! Not even close! It just LOOKED that way --- Uh huh .
We - on a ship originally NOT going to be anything but a television and radio/communications relay ship - were not assigned as the recovery vessel this time .
The crew on my ship was totally vetted to see if anyone was a likely danger to 'WHO"? - which turned out to be President Nixon . (I passed muster somehow)
A few guys left the ship for Midway Island in the week or so before the splashdown . They were gone until a few weeks after we got to Hawaii with the capsule now in the LPH8's elevator deck .
The astronauts were sent from our ship into biological isolation/confinement aboard the Princeton, and they had walked amongst us - and THEN put in isolation - odd, wot?
Where we were now the primary recovery when the actual primary recovery ship - with a copy of Air Force 1 helicopter was on deck - was a ruse .

Yeah - we had Nixon and Air Force 1 on OUR ship, not the 'other' ship . . . . which IIRC was The USS Princeton /LPH8 - I think . .

When Nixon arrived, there were three helicopters who played touch-n-go antics on both of our ships - so that anyone looking couldn't tell which helicopter actually had Nixon on it .

We had three helicopter TnGs on our helipad that day - kind of a carnival shell game to fool everyone - including us . They all had the same Air Force 1 markings on them too .

The Eight Bells and Boatswain's pipe were smoking for all the ringing and blowing they did each time a helicopter touched down - only to take off again .

Both ships were at "Dress Ship" and "Man Siderails" and "Attention On Deck" orders for over two hours with all this shuffling back-and-forth nonsense .

I watched all of this from my lofty perch - three decks about the main deck ---> standing with The Captain, the XO and other assorted officers and Secret Service guys .

On a good-side of this diatribe of mine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I was the only guy who had access to Sick Bay and with my Corpsman friend (he later committed suicide) got the Secret Service and most of the Marines anti-seasick Dramamine pills .
They thanked me profusely!

I had a lunch-dessert with President Nixon, at my table in the mess deck one afternoon . He and I talked about a lot of things - perhaps I'll post some of that dialog later on .

I got to call my (deceased) wife back in California on the White House Red Phone . I talked to her for over an hour - and when I was done, the Secret Service guy who brought me the phone because Nixon sent it to my quarters - told me that my call probably cost the taxpayers over $300,000 . 00 .

Kewl!



Right now I have to repair another lawnmower for a neighbor and I have a welding job out in a field behind me here for a John Deere header that broke a driveshaft .

I'll try to wait out the rain for a bit - I don't like arc welding in the rain . . . at all!

....and you could be correct, however I still don't beleive that every single person involved in that conspiracy has kept their mouth shut.

1450638 2018-06-19 00:26:00 I was 22 and at home with my family when the moon landing HAPPENED. NZ had a delayed TV coverage of the event, and we had heard the news on the radio prior to that.

My son in law has worked with NASA for a number of years, I have visited the Kennedy Space Center and the Launch Pads at Cape Canaveral. I have also been on the USS Yorktown based in Charleston SC, which had been used as a moonshot capsule recovery vessel during the Apollo Missions.


Sorry Joe, but I don’t really have much time for your conspiracy theories, so much evidence to prove that it did happen, and nothing whatsoever to convince me otherwise.

No - there is a farmer in the South Island who owns a MiG 21 . He has air superiority over the whole country provided the gas-guzzling doesn't bankrupt him .
