The Moon

[n0rlf]

OK then, I need to know how to flip sides once I reach the edge of earth. I know it is flat so how do I get my car around the side and be able to come back on the flip side?

A. Until you realize that the technology of 1960's was not up to speed to send men (cramped inside a capsule) with the power of a simple  computer to navigate the flight.

B.  And, what about the Van Allen Belt. The astro- nots would have been killed by radiation.

C.  And, what about those silly moon rovers? How did they get up there?  

D.  Why were their no stars visible?  The crew was asked why there were no visibility of stars?

E.  I will go to my grave knowing that in the early 1960's there was NO WAY anyone has ever been on the moon.  

 

A.  Did you know that before computers, people could do complex math equations with only pencil and paper?  It's amazing! 

B.  What about them?  Not all radiation is harmful.  

C. The same way that the rest of the equipment and crew did.  

D.  Crappy camera tech? 

E.  You will go to your grave correct.  The first man stepped foot on the moon in 1969, which is not the early 1960's.

Is there anyone in here who believes like I do, that we NEVER went to the moon?  Trust me.... it NEVER happened.

I'm more curious why someone from Colorado joins a forum based in Tennessee to try to convince their members that we NEVER landed on the moon.

It's called a forum. Show me where in here that somebody has NOT posted a topic about firearms.  I was simply trying to engage a conversation that was not about firearms. If I was out of line, I apologize.

It isn't that it is out of line, it is simply something that I'm curious about.

I find it funny that a guy chooses an avatar of Spock in a gun forum.  (humor)

I'm impressed, but I really hope for your sake that you copy/pasted that from another source.

You're fine. We just don't normally get this much entertainment. We normally argue about politics and talk about Greg's boat. 

[Karl Fairburne]

Awesome. I will tone it down.

This thread is so full of win!!!

I know I've said this often, but it probably bears repeating for newcomers and those in the back.

We welcome all kinds of people on TGO. Our membership is as wide at the internet. But, we do have expectations.  Beyond the code of conduct - I have a simple rule - our members should add something to this community and the conversations that happen here.

This is not a uniform group - nor should you assume it to be. If you're going to participate in a discussion, you should bring something of value to it.

To our newcomers - that also includes things like: 

1. Descriptive thread titles
2. Using the search function to see if maybe there have been some other threads about a particular subject over the last 10 years
3. Avoid over generalizations and blanket statements- For example, saying "I HATE liberals" for example may explain what makes you the way you are - but does little to add to the actual discussion.   
4. As you step into a new community, maybe take a look around and get a feel for things.  Slow down a bit. Figure out where you can add value. Where do you have expertise? Contribute.

There's a lot of drama in our world right now.  We welcome new members to our community, but we don't have a ton of bandwidth if you're bringing drama with you...

I remember so much ascii art. I knew some guys that spent waaaayyy too much time making ones that involved very adult themes...

Of course there was everything else too.

 

And yes, I copied and pasted these as images...
