Hi Windsor, thanks for putting your thoughts across on this theory. I have to admit, I am personally not convinced it was fake, yet. It would need more incontrovertible evidence. I think the moon rovers are credible for one thing. I'm no expert on the moon landing event, but another thing for me that would be hard to fake is the live broadcast of the rocket launch to billions of people. I mean could it be that the astronauts actually landed on the moon, but never their space capsule? I have done some analysis on the computer code that IBM did for the space shuttle computer (years after these events of course) and that certainly was genuine enough to launch a space craft. Some of the best scienctific code ever written, with a very low error rate per line of code. The level of subterfuge you describe would have to be enormous.

Windsor, you’ve picked a loser here. Many aspects of your critique don’t add up. For example, Kennedy—the skeptic( ?) who knew this was impossible (?)—spoke nationally supporting the effort. Johnson simply continued the effort Kennedy started. Also, why did we fake (?) numerous trips to the moon—thereby increasing the chances of a leak among by expanding/continuing the conspiracy. Also, one mission was a failure and the world watched as the capsule rounded the moon and barely made it back through ingenious jury rigging. Why do this? Finally, I know a number of folk involved with the Mars Rover project (it was transferred to my old university). There are probably 80 folks just there who were involved in launch and landing and control of the Rover. All of them conspirators or useful idiots?

As to the points made of travel beyond our Van Allen belt, I agree. However, the radiation exposure is a cumulative effect of much longer duration than any 10 day moon mission. For Mars this is seen as significant, for the Moon, not so much. As far as critiquing Musk and his colonization desires for Mars. Spot on. Musk is part dreamer and part grifter. He wants a self sustaining Mars colony, yet the physical conditions on Mars are *worse* than the physical conditions on Antarctica! Yet, we’ve never produced a self sustaining Antarctica “colony” of for that matter, down the road from me, a self-sustaining “Biosphere” (another failure).

I could go on, but to what point. Thanks for today’s missive.
