And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean on the Moon, November 20, 1969. Pete Conrad, taking the photo, is reflected in Bean’s visor.
I am baffled by this need some people have to believe we couldn't pull off the greatest technical achievement in human history. If you want to see a government actually pour billions of dollars into a massive public fraud just turn on the news. Sheesh!
A co-worker met Alan Bean at a conference where Bean was a speaker. Alan was signing copies of the print of the painting that he made from this photo. The co-worker asked him to sign it to my father who had sent him to the conference. The co-worker gave it to my Dad when he returned from the conference. It's hanging in my office 10 feet away right now. This is the first time I've seen the original photo. Pretty awesome!
I'll never understand how they engineered the closures on those uniforms to be vacuum proof. Zippers? Nope. Buttons? Not likely. Velcro? Did that even exist back then? Impressive, nonetheless.
So where did they land? The bright side of the moon, right? They didn't land on the dark side. Every photograph shows a disappeared parameter extending out maybe a hundred feet max? There should be miles of landscape in the distance. Then there's the sky which because of no atmosphere should be so uncluttered that "billions and billions" of stars would be visible as Carl Sagan used to say. My cellphone craps out totally many places I travel but NASA was able to patch a phone call from Nixon to the moon? Does anybody believe this shit?
99.8% believe it. You're the outlier. Because you're smarter and more perceptive than 99.8% of the population, and you're happy to prove it to all of us by expressing these outlandish beliefs on public blogs. It's another form of virtue signaling. That's all.
And a two thirds of the population took the death vax, and wanted the others dead or in concentration camps...the vast majority believe in the global 'climate change' scam...now tell me again how smart you are for believing what the overlords tell you, hook line and sinker. And go get your 5th booster.
Stunning photo and I remember it from those days.
ReplyDeleteId forgotten that 12 came so soon after 11. Funny how NASA could build such giant rockets so quickly in those days but needs decades now.
ReplyDeleteAll fake and gay. Didn't go.
ReplyDeleteRiiiight, please, regale us with a 27-paragraph essay about how the shadows indicate multiple light sources and the Pepsi can in the background etc.
DeleteWhy spend all the time and money to fake it over and over again, and then to perpetuate the fraud for decades with stuff like this:

They could do this back in 1969, but these days? They "lost the technology."
DeleteIf it's not fake, why is there such confusion as to how to get there again?
DeleteIt IS fake. We've been getting played for a veery long time now. After the last 3 years, how can you not see?
DeleteMet Bean in 1996. Have a signed copy of one of his art prints.

ReplyDeleteAlso reflected along the top of Bean's visor is a row of Klieg lights providing the background lighting effects.
ReplyDeleteAaaand there it is.

ReplyDeleteOne piece like a diving suit?
DeleteVelcro was commercially available in the early 60's - MacArch
ReplyDeleteNo shit?! I thought that was an 80s invention. I bet it still ain't vacuum proof.
DeleteNo reflectaporn here
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Kubrik's cameramen getting their due...
ReplyDeleteMr. Bean went to the moon >?!! Silly Merikans. SRC.
ReplyDeleteSo where did they land? The bright side of the moon, right? They didn't land on the dark side. Every photograph shows a disappeared parameter extending out maybe a hundred feet max?

DeleteThere is no "bright side". It's all dark.
DeleteYou could look it up.
99.8% of Americans are really stupid. Look up the definition of midwit.
DeleteAnd a two thirds of the population took the death vax, and wanted the others dead or in concentration camps...the vast majority believe in the global 'climate change' scam...now tell me again how smart you are for believing what the overlords tell you, hook line and sinker.
