Back in the early eighties I was still at high school and remember seeing a pic purporting to evidence of fakery...the one asking how the engine bell of the CSM could cast such a huge shadow on the surface. OK, I was already a space nut by then, and fumed at how a RCS unit in the foreground could be possibly misinterpreted so badly. I know that this photo is still cited as 'evidence 'in some quarters two decades later, and I was wondering if any people had thrown diplomacy out of the window and given any of the high-profile HB proponents (David Percy, Marcus Allen in particular) the rubbishing they so richly deserve in a public forum of debate? I do not in general advocate such tactics but given the high-level profile the whole issue seems to have secured in the public mindset over the past twelve months, perhaps this is what's needed. My pupils at school certainly think so, and have been most voluble in their willingness to participate in such a debate!
