Have a little more time to write today.

First of all, one retired Los Angeles detective has told me that a slide is not likely based on the position of the probe. The length of the probe Vs what is visible indicates the LEM came almost straight down, pushing the majority of it directly into the soil, directly under the module. Had the LEM been drifting enough for a significant slide, the entire length of the probe would be bent outward, all of them in the same direction (note, he has not had time to review all of the pics, I shall be fair). Now, we all know the problems they allegedly ran into trying to draw core samples, so the fact that the probe, visibly, drove straight into the Lunar surface, is not likely, or, the core sample was jinxed (happened to be over a tough root or something or, draw your own conclusion.

Look at how much of the probe that is visible, the entire probe is almost six feet long. Estimate how much you see Vs how much is under the surface.

I "shall" try to show all of the evidence to this guy without leading him, I admit that won't be easy, but I'll try.

OK, the money question......My effort isn't saying we didn't go to the moon, I'm saying that a "possibility" exist the first few landings were staged to meet Kennedy's deadline and push the Soviets into technological submission. The money went to the Space Program, hence, all of the successes NASA has been blessed with. The astronauts are not liars, they are fulfilling their commitment to this country in a matter of National Security.

The broken camera issue. Certainly things go wrong. But you have to listen to your gut instincts. Look at the facts, a miracle come back by the USA, an amazing flawless Lunar mission on 11, then, no live pictures for a year and a half. Circumstantial yes, but evidence nonetheless. A small part of a much larger puzzle maybe. It cannot be disregarded, it shall not be disregarded.

OK, why was it we left working cameras on the moon, but never filmed a LEM lifting off until 15, that footage would have been far too valuable to NASA. Tell me, show me where to go to see otherwise, I'm willing to learn. The more wells you lead me to, the more I can dig, and I live to dig when time permits.

Have a great day gentlemen.....

One note, the Houston Homicide Investigator is a high school buddy, I haven't talk to him in 7 years, but I shall. The retired LA officer works in my office now. I look forward to getting opinions from both of them.
