Fakery ...

This is one of the best moon landing hoax fakes I've seen in quite some time. The moon landing hoax nutjob who did this, certainly did his homework on lighting. What gets by him is how the numbers on the CMs window don't move with the camera. That, and there never was an Apollo 20. In addition, he also has a video showing the Apollo 20 Saturn V shortly after lifting off from Vandenberg. Hardly something to keep secret as every missile launch from Vandyland is very easily seen, and the absolute impressiveness of the Saturn V would've prompted thousands to ask some serious questions.

But I certainly give an "A" for effort!

THE APOLLO EXPERIENCE

An idea who's time has come:

THE APOLLO EXPERIENCE™, a space-based simulation entertainment center to be based on the historic Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs which sent this nation's astronauts to the Moon.

Endorsed by Sally Ride, Burt Rutan, and Dr. David M. Harland, THE APOLLO EXPERIENCE™ is a privately funded space simulation of the Apollo moon missions.

I like the idea. Head on over and take the survey to help them get this great idea off the ground.

GodSpeed, Jolly Wally - Schirra dead at 84

MSNBC is reporting that Mercury Astronaut Wally Schirra has died. The only Mercury astronaut to command missions in all three Apollo era spacecraft, Schirra was known for his wisecracking personality and contentious command decisions that ruffled many a feather at NASA.

He commanded the first US rendezvous in space on Gemini 6, the first Apollo mission after the tragic fire that killed fellow Mercury astronaut Gus Grissom, and was Cronkite's right hand man in broadcasting Apollo missions and, of course, one of the original Mercury 7.

Schirra's death leaves John Glenn and SCott Carpenter as the only Mercury Seven astronauts to carry the fire.

Godspeed, Wally.

All the more reason we need to tell everyone's story before it's too late.
