O/T Artemis II - is this just

[kentmillerman]

I don't need to convince anyone of anything. There's a ton of information about the mission readily available if anyone is interested. People can choose to believe it or not and make their own choice. However, if you don't believe it, then it means you're a ****ing idiot but that's fine.

Can I also remind you that it was you who started the thread. That puts the onus on you to convince people that the mission never happened, not the other way around. And you'll need to do a lot better than simply 'reiterating' that it didn't happen. Say that as many times as you like, it won't make it true or convince anyone otherwise.

Anyway, it looks like your argument has petered out here old bean so I'll leave you to it unless you've got anything else to say.

Here here.

Is this the most idiotic thread ever on here...and that would be saying something,Mr Potato Head,you need to stop digging,you`re making yerself look a right tit.

Agree TLC Spuddy knobhead Speight is a multi methinks.

...or, looking at the date the thread was started, it all simply could be a month long continuation of a ruse?

Just returned from my mate's wedding as best man. Fantastic day! Didn't stop as mother in law wants us to look after her dogs for a few days. Picking 'em up tomorrow morning.
Enough of my hectic lifestyle, eh?

Anyway what's this with you throwing the towel in so soon, Hspan? Your reasoning has sunk to an all time low of tragic proportions. You seem to have spit your dummy out as soon as my back is turned. Others have dived into the debate too.
Well, not so much as dived in but hit their heads on the bottom of the pool while they're at it.
Not sure if, like you, they fully understand the difference between a decent adult debate about non existent lunar missions and the silly childish acts of throwing dolls out of prams which is in conflict with their intended attempts at machismo. Some women who read this site may recognize this kind of behaviour in some males.
I digress.
Anyway hope this response helps all you naysayers on this site 'cos I can't be ar5ed to reply to you all individually.

Just leaves me to say, good luck with your further research, crayoning and whatever else floats your spacecraft.

I think the space mission is real and Mr Spud is not. Those that really don?t believe it are missing out enjoying one of mankind?s greatest achievements.

I'm wondering why some other people on this site are unable to be so eloquent and informative in a fashion similar to sota?

As a footnote just spare a thought for the Sabbath day.
If you suddenly become too triggered can some of you try not to get your tank tops in a twist over matters which are possibly beyond yours and my ken.

I?m filling up here Mr Potato but you are quite right that people take things too seriously and well done for trying to keep this wonderful board active.

Shall I side with the intellectual who writes about pseudo intellectuals and russian astronaughts![Sic]? or should I side with the man who may or may not be a conspiracy theorist? but has the ability to pose a very searching and super interesting, hopefully thought provoking question on reality.
My conclusion is that I am probably an avatar from another game and another dimension. I will now return as I am sure no being with a consciousness is here to read this and to be honest I probably never actually wrote anything.

It's rare to encounter someone else who sees the world from this perspective. Our world increasingly feels far too absurd to be real.

The gift of a brass compass alone opened my eyes when I was a youngster. At that time I thought there must be one hell of a huge magnet somewhere on the planet to have the effect it had on my compass.

Playing devil's advocate can also attract positive and negative comments. Some correct, some not so......

Donald Trump hosted the crew of the historic Artemis II lunar flyby mission at the White House on Wednesday, 29th April 2026.

The four astronauts ? commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen ? joined the president in the Oval Office for a celebratory meeting and press conference.
Trump said, ?We?re very proud of these people. They have unbelievable courage, unbelievable a lot of other things too,? Trump said at the start of the conference, immediately segueing into praise for himself.

?To get in there, you have to be very smart, have to do a lot of things physically good. So I would have had no trouble making it, I?m physically very, very good. Maybe a little bit of a problem. We?ll have to try it.?


WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald *Trump also said on Wednesday that "his ⁠administration will be releasing as much information as possible on *UFOs ⁠in the near future".

Can't wait.

Just been reading about the first living creature to orbit Earth was a dog called Laika aboard a Russian craft called Sputnik 2 on November 3, 1957.
A stray dog, Laika was rescued from the streets of Moscow.
The mission was designed as a one-way trip with no re-entry technology!! Laika died from overheating and stress just hours into the flight.
Laika had a small, six inch diameter window in her capsule!!!! Well that was a bonus.

Her body remained in orbit for 2,570 orbits before burning up upon returning to Earth's atmosphere!!

While Russia's animal protection laws have expanded, animal rights organizations are generally structured as private charities and do not hold the same law enforcement or statutory investigation powers as the RSPCA UK.

There you have it. It appears impossible that so called spacecraft can actually return to Earth and the occupants survive the horrendous hellfire of re-entry.

I don't know why you waste your time posting such drivel.

By your logic, submarines can't exist because the first wooden sub deep-dived and cracked. Sputnik 2 didn't even have a heat shield or a landing system. Judging the entire history of spaceflight based on a 1957 suicide mission is bizarre even for your fishing expeditions.

If you get your kicks from bites, happy to oblige.

Talking about fishing....
The waters above cannot be broken by humankind. Checkout Operation Fishbowl 1962. The dome above the Earth is unbreakable. Sounds mad doesn't it?

The waters below the waters below is a humungous realm. Submarines are a different kettle of fish. Yet again there is a limit to the depth that modern day submarines can dive.

Humankind is limited to this realm which we know as planet Earth.
As for the flat Earth vs spherical Earth debate... No one has ever taken a true image/photo of planet Earth simply because no one has travelled that far out in space to do that.
Too much to take in there. But a lot of people are in the know.

Voyager 1 did.
