Re: NOT 510,BUT USA SPACE RACE TO MOON AND MARS

Mal, seems like you got sucked in by two mock-documentaries (mockumentaries). I've seen the moon one and another one about a New Zealand flyer. The moon doco starts off serious but by the end you should realise it's a joke. The Kiwi flyer one that I saw was called "Forgotten Silver" and was by Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings" director). That one had me pretty fooled too, the guy claimed that his subject was the first to fly and first to create colour film etc. etc. Do a search on the web and you'll find out. As for moon dust, remember that the moon is airless and dust needs air or a gas to remain suspended. It falls back to the ground slowly due to the moon's one-sixth gravity. This is why you don't see enormous rooster tails of dust coming of the wheels  of the lunar rover. Why didn't the moon landers get covered in dust? Well go and blow some air vertically downwards onto sand and see what happens to it. It goes away from the centre doesn't it? It aint gonna blow away, turn around 180 degrees and come back and land on you, especially with no wind or air. This fake moon landing theory has been around for years and formed the basic premise of the film "Capricorn One" about a fake Mars landing. Another classic faked news peice is the cutting of the ribbon by a loony digger with a sword on horseback at the opening of the Sydney Harbour bridge. That film was faked by Philip Adams but is often mistaken for actual history.   Trust me, it's all bull.   Rob P.   (of course I could've faked this entire email hahaha ;-P )   ----- Original Message ----- From: maldat To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 2:20 PM Subject: NOT 510,BUT USA SPACE RACE TO MOON AND MARS http://xtramsn.co.nz/technology/0,,7937-3000105,00.html     Sorry this is not 510 so please delete if not wanted..     This makes for good reading or laughing about,,They say man hasn't been to/on the moon since 1972..(What a good year for the 510).   I've also seen a program on TV that proved that man has never set foot on the moon,as the moon dust is that deep you would never be able to take off as you would be under the moon dust after landing and the dust settled. They also showed the place where they did filming on earth and told people it was takin on the moon..   Now if they could get on the moon why are they building a space station in space and not on the moon ,like in the old TV program "Space 1999".   Now in all books in your USA schools say the Wright Bros in the USA were the first to fly a plane,, Well thats a load of garbge/ tripe / what ever  but the first person to fly a plane was a New Zealander called Richard Pearce on the 31 March 1902 at a place called Waitohi which is near timaru in the south Island of New Zealand.     Malcolm --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
