I didn't say that, your making things up as you go along now.

Not quite. The statement in quotation marks is clearly a logical follow-up request in response to your loaded statement from a little way up this same thread (in your "answers for JayUtah") -
"In fact midway through the Apollo years the sunspot cycle was at its 11 year cycle high and was one of the highest on recorded record."
Please feel free to point out that you never actually stated that a first-magnitude solar event took place during a mission (nobody claimed you said that anyway). However, if you acknowledge that no major event occurred, what relevance does the peak in the sunspot cycle have to your standpoint? Are you arguing that the possibility that an event might have happened and might have been fatal to the astronauts somehow implies that the Apollo missions were faked? Please explain your reasoning. From where I'm sitting this is all irrelevant because such an event DIDN'T HAPPEN.
And is your "one of the highest on recorded record" peak of any real significance anyway? Have a look at this link. Observe the graph showing sunspot activity during the twentieth century. Have a look at whatever area of the graph you consider to be "midway through the Apollo years". There certainly is a peak during the late 1960s, but it is clearly dwarfed by the preceding and following peaks. A red-herring, Dave.

Dave, from my reading of this and the other thread, it seems that either you are altering and denying your arguments to dodge the issues (and therefore being intellectually dishonest), or you are confused about your own standpoint (in which case I suggest you are a few Bradys short of a bunch). Which is it?
