I’ve done this before, as I just can’t help myself at times. Quora is kind of a running propaganda site, with questions asked and answered, I suspect, by the same people. They do a lot of Apollo stuff, making up questions and then answering them with authority. For instance, why was it so difficult for Neil Armstrong to make his step out on the lunar surface? Some inside jackass asked that question only to reinforce the notion that it really happened.
I answered to the effect that it’s very hard to set foot on a place when you are 238,000 miles away from it. My answers seldom draw responses, and eventually disappear. Quora, after all, is a SNOPES-like Wikipedia-like AI-like authoritative source, meant to be the final word on subjects. (Back in time, did you ever see someone answer a question with the words “I SNOPED it, and …”. SNOPING something became the nihil obstat or imprimatur* of what is accepted in faith to be true.
All of which is to preface my comment that follows about the moon landings, which as I recall drew the response that I seemed to lack a brain. At least the commenter could have used some humor, as in quoting Bones McCoy from Star Trek, who on examining a corpse said to Kirk, “Jim, he’s not just dead. His brain is gone!”
Here’s my comment, such as it is, and last I looked, removed from view, answering the question about why the Lunar Lander was never tested prior to Apollo 11:
It was never tested in a lunar environment (how could it have been?). They were running out of time to meet JFK’s “in this decade” pledge, which JFK surely knew was impossible, as by that time it was understood we were not going anywhere.
I find it interesting that the fake Moon landings, most likely done to hide some other real project in lower Earth orbit, were positive propaganda, that is, done to make us feel good about ourselves. A different era, I suppose. Other propaganda projects, like the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster, were faked. That particular project had school children all over the country watching live as a lovely teacher was “killed”, definitely a “killing hope” project. I call that child abuse writ large, as with all of them school shootings, bombings, Waco, Jonestown, done to keep us distrustful and in a state of fear. Frightened people look to authority figures to “protect” them, making them docile and easily governable. But what if life on Earth is a much safer, calmer journey? Can’t have that, so they invent this stuff. It was named “Operation Chaos” back in the 70s, maybe earlier, going all the way back to the Texas Tower shootings, a supposed chain saw massacre, the Tylenol affair, fake serial killers … on and on.
Faking going to the Moon, I’m OK with that. All the other stuff, no-no business.
He’s not just dead, Jim …

People used to eat that shit up, back in the day, the ultimate appeal to authority.

Challenging the politically correct, social norms is always fun. They’re reinforcing echo chambers for lazy, gullible people. After all, as a man smarter than me once said, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled”.

I am not highly educated, like you and your other readers who comment. Just a common person who uncommonly comes across things on the internet. That being said, I have seen things and read things and talked to people and can piece things together. I’m not stupid, just not formally indoctrinated by our education system.
Here are a few things I have come across:
Bubbles in the film footage of astronauts ‘in space’.
A mouse running around the Hubble telescope ‘in space’.
Live feed from the telescope that keeps showing moving stars (ships) while the woman is describing the view, and they keep narrowing the view so we can’t see them anymore.
Some one back around 2013 or 2014, can’t remember exactly, put together a movie of still images (from SOHO I believe, it’s just black and white showing the stars and planets), over a period of about 3 months and it clearly shows something blasting something else from left to right, right to left, and then an object comes from the right, round ball, has 2 lines coming out at angles and a half moon line connecting them, and when it hits the object coming from the left there is a huge blast. That I saw over 10 years ago. Now, a few years ago I was watching a video from a guy MrMbb333 who studies the sun and solar flares etc, and on this video in the lower left corner and lo and behold, it’s that same type of bomb or whatever you want to call it.

Sorry, somehow it won’t let me update the comment above.
I know I sound nuts to a lot of you people but at this point I don’t care. The sky continues to be covered in chemtrails so what are they hiding? Wars in our skies?
Another thing….this summer during the Army celebration a guy says in an interview that he just spoke that morning to a soldier on the moon. On. The. Moon. We are about to see disclosure in a big way, in my humble opinion. What that means, who knows? I guess it depends on what faction gets control-one world order, or some faction trying to release the real truth.
if you are so inclined, and open to any possibilities, I just read book 1 of The Sasquatch Message To Humanity by SunBow.
Ridicule these comments all you want, I pay you no mind. I just want the human race to excel and I feel we are on the edge of something huge. My good friend John Allen, whose family has had contact with Sasquatch for years, said we are on 2 times that are splitting before the end of the year, one is A.I., the other is a spiritual awakening. We have very little time. Choose wisely.
on that note, I wish us all well, nothing but the highest and greatest good for all of creation.

Moon Zero Two – MST3K: SEASON 1 (1989-90) – The Gizmoplex
This is a great sci fi “parody” about life on the Moon post the year 2000 (in the year 2000 – cue Conan O’ Brien). I must confess I am a Mystery Science Theater addict, best show ever IMO. They deprecate everything and everyone, and pretty much show space, as the mainstream depicts it, is bullshit. Anyhow what’s funny is this a low budget British flick made in 1969! says there’s a memorial to Neil Armstrong on the moon (released shortly after the “moon landing”) and the special effects are honestly about as good as what we were given by the government NASA people. And Catherine Schell co-stars as a super-hot Bond girl (In Her Majesty’s Secret Service – which is arguably the best Bond film/plot.)

Off topic question – Mark, can you please remind me, your diet approach is “very low carb,” correct?
I was thinking about trying this. A friend who’s advising me is completely no carb, and seems to think any amount of carbs is unacceptable. But I seem to recall Gary Taubes in his advice on meal plans said some minimal carbs and very low carb foods were okay, ketosis would still be mostly in play.
I will do a search for your past comments and posts on the specifics of what you eat – unless you know which threads they are – since you’ve recounted it several times. Thanks –

I first came upon low-carbing, or ketogenic dieting, back around 2010 or so, reading a book called Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, a science journalist. I followed his advice religiously, and lost, over the period of 6 months, 22 pounds. Then I put maybe ten back on, and have been seesawing since. I’m at an ideal weight now, but I snack a lot, and I think that will effect me over time so that I have to purge some time again.
GCBC is a tome, but it held my attention. I wrote to him at the time, thanking him, saying it was me, not him, who lost the weight, but that the advice given was solid. Indeed, when truly low-carbing, hunger is not an issue. I rarely felt it, never got the shakes, never felt truly hungry.
He’s got a blog I subscribe to and pay for, Uncertainty Principles. He apologizes for writing long pieces, which I digest anyway, but I did remind him of Mark Twain, who apologized for writing a long letter, saying he did not have time to write a shorter one.

Thanks! I agree, that was a fascinating book. Not many like that from the big publishers. Kind of makes you wonder how they let him get away with it – I always speculated that it was a bit limited hangout, knowing that few would read such a tome – let that small audience in on some truth. Kind of segments the population, as with the market in general – Whole Foods vs Walmart etc. And the Whole Foods crowd is more likely to have *some* who would read it, percentage wise.
You may have slightly misapplied it, but I totally did.. I took to heart his embrace of “healthy fats,” but, er, didn’t cut out carbs.. I just made more liberal use of butter etc in regular meals..
