Why not quote everything he said?

there is really no need too,,, there is an overwhelming consensus among reasonable individuals that the chain of custody of apollo artifacts has been broken, concordantly compromising the ability to verify their authenticity ...

You, uh....You just ignore whatever doesn't fit your narrative, don't you?
I am not constructing a new narrative for you because the new narrative already exists. All I am doing is suggesting that you improve your personal historical narrative by accepting some facts that don't originate from NASA or ALSJ or ASU sources.
In order to understand Apollo you need to place Apollo in context of the Nixon administration. Apollo Defenders are eternally bound by the executive authority of the 37th President.
The best book on the subject is the recently published "After Apollo?" by an established pro-NASA author John M. Logsdon.
Half way through the book Logsdon drops the Apollo narrative and goes into the Shuttle narrative leaving work to be done for Apollo Reviewers.

I've done quite a bit of my own research into the subject, and have come away with the conclusion that the official narrative is correct. That being said, I've also read your Nixon's Apollo thread (several times, in fact), and found it to be a well-written, well-researched, entertaining thread, and it raised quite a few questions for me, initially. I have enormous respect for the time, effort, and dedication you've put into your research, but I must, however, respectfully disagree with your conclusions.
Any other interpretation of this news story, including your attempt yet again to crowbar Nixon into it, is false.
I place Apollo firmly in the context of the president that started it,
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.
In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where the F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.
Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were "made in the United States of America" and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.
The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the the 40-yard lines.
Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.

threaten to kill him
I know it's pointless asking, but where does an astronaut threaten to kill anyone?
Former space science museum curator and former NASA consultant, Richard C. Hoagland, reacts to the news that a Russian official wants to investigate whether the US moon landings really happened. Followed by Open Lines.

they can be disputed and question but dont be surprised if you get an angry response.
what it looks like is you are belittling their achievements.. purely because you cannot comprehend what they have achieved so much so that you feel the need to belittle their achievements down to your level.
anger would be my first emotion, how i show it depends on the situation..
im definitely not going to be happy letting some jealous kid belittle my greatest achievements which i worked my ass off for.
to have some jealous kid who doesnt understand basic physics try and belittle my achievements, my emotions would be anger.. but like i said above, depending on the situation the reaction to that anger would differ.
Mitchell's death threat could only serve one purpose
Which Mitchell? Edgar made no death threat. His son was pretty pissed off though.
Mitchell was terrified, and so desperate, that he actually made a death threat.

In fact, Mitchell even had a video of the hoax argument in his VCR at the time (the Fox TV special, iirc).
You think Mitchell gets angry at seeing his greatest achievements belittled in person, but enjoys watching it in a 'video' format?.
