Hopefully anyone with even a vaguely passing knowledge of the Apollo spacecraft will quickly realise that the author of this comedy piece has absolutely no idea. :roll:

We have. It's garbage.
The only point he even comes close to getting right is the one that says something like "the Saturn V sheds 97% of it's weight upon reaching Earth orbit. The remaining 3% was the space capsule" Well duh!! #-o Although "in the process of reaching Earth orbit" would be more technically correct. The rest of his points you can print out and line a birdcage with or install on the TP roll in the loo. :roll:

There is a small matter of free speech. It is much better to train people in the art of logical and critical thinking then give them the facts and let them work out the answers themselves. Besides, in the long run banning this sort of rubbish would be detrimental to the because as they would just claim that TPTB were trying to shut them up because it is all true.

Actually, this claim is mostly correct:

Quote:
When Apollo astronauts were not in space, they were manning mission control communication for other Apollo missions, this was to limit the number of persons in the know. There were in fact two communication links to every Apollo mission. First was launch control who dealt with communication at lift off, and reentry, however once in Earth orbit communication was handed over to the limited few astronauts manning mission control. Check it yourself on film coverage released at the time. Collins, Duke, Aldrin, Lovell, Shepherd, Schmitt, Cernan etc, are all there on various missions. Lovell himself admitted that there were two communication links to the astronauts.
Except for the part about launch control handling communications during re-entry. But so what? This has been true for every American space mission since the early Geminis.
