Mr. Brian is apparently another conspiracy theorist who doesn't know much about the technical fields he's talking about.

I think it's more accurate to say he knows about some technical fields and believes that this knowledge magically gives him expertise in other technical fields which he has not studied. Specifically, his expertise is in mathematics, but he believes he can also call himself an expert in physics.

But the fact that he has to very clearly contradict some extremely reliable tenets of physics in order to make his conclusion strongly indicates he is not searching for the truth but rather for some semblance of evidence which backs up the conclusion he has already decided to draw.

Ralph Rene is obviously someone who knows nothing about science

Ralph Rene bills himself as a self-taught engineer. That's like a self-taught doctor. I don't think Rene has the slightest idea what it takes to be an engineer, or what degree of qualification is required.

Before one can put the "P.E." designation after his name, he must obtain a degree from an accredited school of engineering, usually a graduate degree. Then he must apprentice under a professional engineer for a period of time. Then he can take the qualifying and licensing examination. The study guide for the FE/EIT/PE exam -- the notorious "Big Yellow Book" -- is 2.5 inches thick.

In short, the process for being certified as an engineer is not unlike being certified to practice medicine. For Rene to go around calling himself an engineer is like me calling myself a doctor because I read a book or two on medicine.

Looks like a new age psueodoscience site to me. These people specifically reject mainstream science.

Right-wing Christian with thinly veiled anti-Semitism.

Either one could be considered to have an a priori reason for rejecting NASA. And neither would have the scientific knowledge necessary to refute Rene, even if they were motivated to.
