When I saw that PAX TV had said that Kaysing as a Rocketdyne "engineer", I was like, bull fritters.

Yes. Apparently the forum rules don't allow what I believe to be the most descriptive words for Kaysing's arguments, so "fritters" will have to approximate it. That's what you get for writing a review right after you see something. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Seriously, 10,000 lbf won't even lift two Ford Explorers in earth gravity. It simply ain't that much thrust. I'm sure Kaysing saw some powerful engines at Rocketdyne, but the LM descent engine wasn't one of them.

I didn't remember what he was, but I knew he wasn't an engineer(he was a librarian. Thanks, JayUtah).

To be specific he was the head of technical publications and a technical writer. Speaking as an engineer who has spent his career dealing with technical writers: technical writers are not engineers.

Kaysing says he had a security clearance, and I have no reason to doubt him. He would have needed such a clearance in order to handle the secret documents -- even if he didn't understand them.

Finally, IMO, Sibrel needs to get a life. He's young, he's got a chance to meet someone who'll knock some sense into him.

Why would he do that? If he forgot all his moon hoax stuff then nobody would want to interview him. He likes being the center of attention, even if it's to say, "Please oh please oh please buy my video, I've spent half a million dollars on it."
