No, but someday soon.

You will be impressed.

(see, in that last sentence I was able to italicize the word "will" using BBcode). I can't wait to see HUb' slicked up and presentable.

Thanks! I just chatted with James Randi (man, I love being able to say that) and he gave me some advice on how to ask questions to pseudoscientists. Between him and help from James Oberg (a space and UFO expert who gave me some great advice) I'll be prepared. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Good luck BA, rip him to shreds.

$1700? I know that isn't a lot compared to a school's entire budget, but its still too much to just pour down a rathole. If the college just had to get rid of $1700, I'm sure there were ways to see it better spent. Does your library need more books? Is there a promising student who has financial problems?
Look out BA. If the students dig this guy, you can be sure that Hoagland, Rense, and Geller aren't far behind.

Bravo Lisa.

In addition to a piece of new equipment, or adding to the tuition of a deserving student, 1700 bucks could also be added to the payment for someone who is really exploring deep space mysteries (like Margaret Geller) to come over and talk about mapping the universe.

Ba, that is an excellent reply. I am looking foward to hearing about how the lecture went.
I have a theory: Less critical thinkers tend to gravitate towards this sort of insidious misinformation as it makes them feel more self important, as if they really know what is going on and the rest of us are in the dark.
That is however, just a theory.

Um...who, who, and who?
1) Believes we went to the moon, found alien bases, government suppression of aliens existence
2) Rubber room candidate. Thinks the world is ruled by human/alien reptile hybrids.
3) Very popular with the "psi is real" crowd. Passes off sleight of hands tricks as proof of psychic ability.

What they have in common is that they all have devoted followers, despite being loopier than a barrel of ferrets.

Count me in on the "me too's". How about a "talk went well/badly/fantastic/whatever"? I'd never heard of this particular knothole before, and I'm interested in what he had to say. I've had a good day so far, and to end it with a laugh would be wonderful.

Knowing the density of the aveage bureaucratic administration and factoring in Murphy's law, you would probably end up with Uri Geller [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

That's what I meant in my previous post. Hoagland would produce metal from the alien base, and Geller would bend it.

Well? i can tell you how I think it went
I yes I E_maild the Artist
aurore@universe.sonoma.edu
& I do NOT expect any reply from So No Ma.
or ED U iethor ... now back to the case
1k doing some math Assume 29.5 days 1/4 moon to 1st 1/4
2:OR 14&3/4 days = 354 hrs = 180deg about 2hr/deg
3:Assume that at 4:17EDT Sun was East of Lunar Horizon
4:1st EVA was at 10:56 Six & 1/2 hours after touchdown
5:& lasted 2 & 1/2 hr = 9hr max after Touch Down = Sun up
6:9hr times @ .5 deg/hr = 5 deg= shadow lengths about 10:1
7hotos show shadow lengths of about 1.5:1 or 32deg min
8:OR in other words 3 days after Sun up, = Touch down. &
