Well let me begin by saying that everything
I know about this subject I have learned in
the last two weeks. I gaot into a pretty
good discussion on another site and was
learning something new with every question.
and low and behold the web master decided
to fix a problem with the web site and deleted every post on the site and I lost all
of my questions and answers so when I started
on this post i made a copy of everything I
have doubts about and I simply edited my
original once I learned a wee bit more. So
give me a little slack here because I am working with only a 12 grade education and
a couple of years of college and no degree.
I wrote all of The BOO post.

That's great BOO. Now we would like to know your sources for your claims. You say stuff like "We all know that..." but you can't do that. You need to qualify those statements. Also BOO, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Why start a new post and ignore the requests in the old posts? Educated or not, you've made assertions which you've yet to adequately support.

Is it just coincidence that you've been absent all night while stevedahl carried the HB torch and then returned mere minutes after stevedahl is banned?

Hmm, is there a point to this thread too?

Learning about quality factors and the difference between rads and rems is not bad for two weeks' work and a 12th grade education. You're already several steps ahead of most conspiracy theorists.

Just consider this. The people who implemented Apollo, and who study it (and occasionally defend it) today are eminent scientists, engineers, physcists and other well-qualified people. The people who are attacking Apollo are generally self-appointed, self-educated people trying to make a buck. Just consider whether it's possible that all that combined expertise in the pro-Apollo camp knows a lot more about these subjects than the largely self-taught folks in the hoax camp.

The hoaxsters want you to think it's a matter of belief: i.e., can you trust the "big bad government" and its "disinformationist debunkers"? Instead it's a matter of knowledge and understanding. The conspiracy theorists don't want the discussion to be about actual science and fact because they know they can't compete. But you don't have to believe the paranoid hype. Just look at who has the facts.
