I hope we get some kind of video from this. I believe the media is so controlled that they may do a thorough washing of this. Of course if we get to see it then we can draw our own conclusions.

Just a couple more hours until we know if the anticipation has been worth it. I hope they have more compelling photos than the ones I've seen; like real up close pictures. You know, like astronauts standing beside, inside, under, or on top of the thing. Now that would be convincing. Because if it were me going all the way up there to investigate, I'd be all over it like a fly on dung.

Yup, i'll be check this out before i go to work, still do not think it will be exciting though, i've realised it probably isn't a good thing to get excited, always a bad let down usually.

including, an actual astonishing example of the extraordinarily advanced technology the Apollo astronauts may have returned to Earth in the last Mission of Apollo....

'may have returned to earth'.

You just know it gonna be a let down, unless he's wielding a lightsaber or something.

what is the date in america because in australia it is well past 9am on tuesday the 30th

I've made a living in the media and publishing for many years. This is indeed nothing but a makeshift book tour. Read the authors' LA stop schedule - "book signing" is on the itinerary three times in one day.

This new book has many photos, which Hoagland and Bara use to support their overall argument about a NASA cover-up. Hoagland is not a news media rookie. If he had new, hot-off-the-press evidence that is not in the book, he would have said so in all these press releases. I used to work in newspapers for a while. Trust me - releases of this kind are faxed, mailed and emailed every 2.7 seconds to every paper of every circulation size. They're almost always trashed. If there were news in them, they'd be considered. There's absolutely no news mentioned anywhere in these releases. It's all just a rehash of the book promo material.

If what Hoagland and Bara argued in their book were true, some of the key points would have been in every newspaper, magazine, TV, radio and web site on the globe, as a news story before the book even came out - not just a spot on Coast To Coast or a blog or whatnot.

Publishing houses and literary agents don't - or usually don't - handle publicity for their author's book. It has to be a great exception (well-known author or important subject, for example.) Top-selling authors hire top publicists. That can be expensive, and understandably, I know everyone can't always go that route. However, proof of a NASA cover-up is something 6.5 billion people would want to know about. In such a case, not only would renowned publicists be stalking Hoagland and Bara, the authors most likely would have negotiated with the publisher to include a promo budget in their contract (if the publisher was a sizable house.)

I don't know the steps taken to get this book got published, and just because it was published by a smaller company doesn't mean it's not a worthy book. But the fact that Feral House is the one that ultimately went with this book is enough to raise eyebrows about what's in it.

You think the big-time publishing world always avoids a good conspiracy? Er, OK so how many books on JFK have been written? Your writing talent could make Shakespeare look like a 4-year-old with sidewalk chalk - but it is nearly impossible to publish yet another JFK book unless there is something really tangible and new to expose. I swear - big publishers do not shy away from an ostensibly tired, weird or controversial subject if there is something worthy there.

By the way, this whole "controversy" about Ken Johnston and the JPL Solar System Ambassador program doesn't put Bara in a good light. Bara said a news reporter launched "a direct personal attack" against Johnston, which led to him being asked to leave the JPL thing.

1.) That doesn't square with what Johnston or JPL have said.
2.) Since when did asking about someone's credentials become a personal attack???

This Bara guy is full of hyperbole and doesn't answer direct questions on his blog. Johnston doesn't answer direct questions, either. And Hoagland's reputation for the truth hasn't always been sterling. You try to bring these credibility issues up and you're the one who is accused of wanting to suppress the truth!?!? Give me a break. I want everything on the table, I don't want to suppress anything, I don't want anyone silenced. But these people are the ones standing in the way of their own cause.

That was a good rejoinder on the PR bit. But, this does not yet address the core issue.

Whether the DM PR at NPC clicks on not is not the issue. Whether other mainstream news and media pick it up or not is once again not the issue.

What is important is the evidence. Not just from Hoagland or Bara. There is evidence from official NASA websites, others who have researched this thoroughly (an may not released a book) and if you go by the history of NASA itself, we have to be really taking notice.

Just checked CSPANs website and doesn't look like they'll be carrying this press conference. Anyone know somewhere to watch it?

ok

lets make it clear:

nasa, and press only

nasa is controlled press is controlled, so i am 100% sure that we will find out exactly what they want to. i dont expect anyone to blame governments or someone else that been categorized as holding truth from the masses. witch brings me to the believing that it will be the most controlled brainwash for some time.

Went to the Press Club site -- no live feeds of this. It's going on now, CSPAN isn't covering it, I guess we'll have to wait and see what transpires.

Anyone got a link to a live feed?

is this thing still going on? does anyone have info they can share/post?

Looking forward to hearing this conference. Lets hope someone videotaped it and puts it on youtube soon.
