You know, on the subject of fighting ignorance, and all, I wonder if NASA ever published the data from the dosimeters or film badges worn by the various Apollo astronauts. This is NASA, and there is a nearly one hundred percent chance that every single astronaut who ever lifted off (and probably a whole lot of the ones who never left the ground, too!) wore some sort of recording dosimeter. Why futz around with mathematical calculations of orbital speed and average flux density? We have this information on file, somewhere.
While it would be easily dismissable by the whaco contingent, that doesn’t really matter to me. I would like to check the math of the theoretical dose projections, and the actual data seems like the best way to do it. Anyone have an idea where such information might be obtained without a freedom of information lawsuit?
FOX doesn’t really care if anyone believes what’s in the show as long as we watch and buy whatever is advertised. Boycotting the sponsors and low ratings are the only things that get their attention.
If I had a nickel for every nutcase who claimed to have “irrefutable proof” that the moon landing(or whatever other issue-of-the-moment) never really occurred, well, I’d have one great big sackfull of nickels.
Here’s the silver lining:While these nimrods are sitting glued to their tubes polishing their surplus AK-47’s and organizing their Art Bell tapes, they’re probably not breeding, right? So hopefully we have only one or two more generations to worry about.
Thank you, Fox, for the Simpsons, for Gillian Anderson in her skivvies, for providing conception control for neuroplegic morons everywhere.
You have to line them up so they come out vertically. It’s a bit painful at first, but you become accustomed very quickly. Don’t try this at home. Better yet, don’t try this at all.
I watched that show for the first time tonight, and I was supprised that they didn’t present what could have been their most damming question…
*If they really went to the moon, why didn’t they bring back any cheese? *
I am surrounded at work with people who are totally convinced that we never went to the moon, thanks to FOX.
I just can’t take the stupidity anymore.
Moron quote of the day (so far): “Well, if we really went to the moon, why are we watching shows that tell us we didn’t?”
My response: Look, we go into space, and went to the moon. Where do you think TANG came from?
Next week… “The Moon’s Greatest Lunar Vehicle Chases”…only on FOX.
Below is a quote from a coworker on an Intranet discussion database… This kind of post should be grounds for instant dismissal or at least a good smack…
On top of this moon landing crap going 'round the office, the “-gry” puzzle is making it around too.
I am honestly telling people that Tang came as a result of research done on the lunar surface with fine crystals in low gravity. Hey…keeps the drones busy.
