I was on amazon looking for new releases on NASA and discovered that Hoagland and Bara are releasing this gem.

Most american's not familiar with all the missions that failed...

Yes, that indeed sounds like a wild assertion. The sun also seems bright. That's because it is.

The book itself is proof? I thought it was suppose to be about proof? You can't write a book about proof, and have it then become proof in and of itself. Of can you? :Starts to write a book called "Fazor is the undisputed ruler of all the eye can see:

I can't believe its 550 pages long and its ranked number 275 in sales.

Well, in fairness, two standouts from the top twenty are "The Secret" and "The Weightloss Secret they don't want you to Know About."

Best-seller and best are totally different beasts.

I'd like to know more about that...

Here's what really annoys me:

How the heck did it get tagged as an Astrophysics & Space Science book? Worse yet, under the Professional category?

Amazon's About the Author section was lifted from Mr. Hoagland's Wikipedia bio. I am the original author of the Career section of that bio.

From Wikipedia:
Thank you, jrkeller, for bringing Hoagland's book to my attention.

Umm...why??

From the book description:
Oh, so its an autobiography!

I'm wondering....could this book have the "memory wiped astronauts" claim in it?

...and who among us would be willing to "take one for the team" and read it to find out??

At 550 pages, I'll buy that when it's cheaper than toilet paper.

I have the opposite opinion. I would love to "take one for the team" and review this book.

I mean, really. This has to be the funniest thing since Douglas Adams, as long as you read it in the right frame of mind Sure, it's utter pukebag in it's overall ethics and slander, but it sounds comical in it's accusations. I hope it has cool things like the Majestic 12 or Reptilian Overlords, instead of just the boring old "Nazi" poisoning the well garbage.
