Debunking retiredafb - The apollo 20 hoax and the STS 107 tapes, page 2

hey - well done for running down the leads ,

BUT

my hackles are raised by this :

Are you friend of retiredafb? ...........-Reply- ...no i'm sorry but i've never met Rutldege

]

then :

so since my freind Rutledge revealed the

maybee i am just too cynical - but i see a breakdown in internal consistancy within 80 words

now i realise that meeting is not a pre requisite of freindship - but if i wrote that i would have said :

Are you friend of retiredafb? ...........-Reply- ... yes , although i'm sorry but i've never met Rutldege

]

then :

so since my friend Rutledge revealed the

the changes are bolded - and yes its pedantic - but i expect an astronaut to spel friend correctly - yes i know i have made the same mis spelling in my opening paragraph - but i hold astronauts who were selected from hundreds of throusands of applicants ffor thier education and intelligence among other qualities to a higher standard

just look @ the qualifications and education levels of aldrin , armstrong etc from thier bio`s

and on another note :

sine here at NASA we were kept devided one each other.I was an USAF pilot too and i was the commander of Apollo 19
I'm very sorry but i try to put online what i can and answer to your question s much as i can.i have been the CMDR of Apollo 19

firstly - why were they seperated ? it makes almost zero sense - all previous astronauts had constant contact -

its far harder to train 2 teams seperatly than a joint program - they learn from each others mistakes if together - and assost each other

as i said all previous space programs - mercury , gemini , appollo - had common personel - and benefited from the prior experience oth the previous personell

compartmentalisation leads to re-invention of the wheel - repeatedly

PS - the ` compartmentalism for secrecy ` argument does not hold water either - they were all professionals with the highest security clearences - now slack jawed yokels .

if any one wants to persue this - do it at your peril - because compartmentalisation has to be total you cannot use the same suit fitters , trainers , technicians etc etc - compartmentalisation has to be complete

also - most of the astronauts knew each other from previous USAF , USN and USMC duties - they were already the cream of the crop before they entered the space program .

and finally - look how many times he tells us that he was the apollo 19 commander - needless repetition of such basic details is a pretty standard warning sign to suspect a person is lying
