Shouldn’t that be the “scienciest” of times?

“I See It All Now” Senses of humour vary – I obviously have some things to learn about Idaho humour. Joking about people dying from vaccine side-effects… is this judged or potentially found amusing in Idaho culture? Or just in some sub-circles of Moscow? Appropriate for pastors, and in public? Do people who had relatives to whom this actually happened chuckle along when these jokes are cracked in your part of the world? Is this sort of joke transferable to other contexts?

Weird that they sprinted from the very first rocket to walking on… Read more »

There’s a lot of questions about how the moon landings could possibly have been faked, not just in the basics you mention of the photographs (which have been extensively shown to demonstrate extremely unusual properties unique to lunar regolith and the lighting in a vacuum), but many other lines of evidence, such as the retroreflectors at each site that lasers still use to measure distance to the moon, the failure of the Soviets to ever challenge the validity of the moon landings, the many employees of NASA and its thousands of contracting companies that would have to have conspired to… Read more »
