Gary McKinnon was born in Glasgow in 1966.

I do know there is a link to all this with Pine Gap in Aussie land... Space Command's home away from home. I once met an engineer that was out there for a few months working on advanced space propulsion. Why in the middle of BFE Australia?

I did a Google Search for "space warden" and didn't get much out of it.

United Earth? Well, that's two Google Searches that I can't find much about from.

When the guy says flat out "I was really stoned at the time and that doesn't do good things for the intellect" then I'd have to say he loses a LOT of credibility.

Also, Pine Gap is run by the CIA, not USSPACECOM.
As part of the ongoing initiative to transform the US military, the Department of Defense merged US Space Command with the United States Strategic Command ...
United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) is one of nine unified commands of the United States Department of Defense which controls the nuclear weapons assets of the United States military. It is also a global integrator charged with the missions of Space Operations; Information Operations; Integrated Missile Defense; Global Command and Control; Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance; Global Strike; and Strategic Deterrence. It is headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. The Headquarters uses four Joint Functional Component Commands (JFCCs) to complete daily planning and execution for the primary mission areas of Integrated Missile Defense, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Space & Global Strike and Network Warfare.

The U.S. Space Command consists of the Army, Navy and Air Force space commands, the Department of Defense Manned Space Flight Support Office, Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center and 14th Air Force.
Its various missions include controlling a fleet of satellites that provide ballistic missile warning, communications, weather and navigation, and positioning support for America's armed forces. Space Command also provides space-based ballistic missile support warning to theater commanders for theater ballistic missile defense. The same support is also provided to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) for the protection of North America against ballistic missile threats. Space Command's control center is located in Cheyenne Mountain and also tracks satellites and space debris and warns U.S. space system operators of potential danger to their satellites. Source
Pine Gap, Australia
Pine Gap, near Alice Springs, employs nearly 1,000 people, mainly from the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office. Originally code-named MERINO, it is the ground station for a satellite network that intercepts telephone, radio, data links, and other communications around the world. The facility currently includes a dozen radomes, a 5,600 square meter computer room, and 20-odd service and support buildings. Two of its ground antenna are part of the U.S. Defense Satellite Communications System.

And how did we get all of this equipment to the Moon? No countries noticed rockets being launched there unexpectedly? No one said anything when they did? Who assembled the rockets? Where were they launched from? When were they launched? The logistics behind this would make it an even larger undertaking than the Apollo program. How would they keep all of those people quiet?

Does the public have access to Vandenberg or other installations to really see what they're launching or when? No.
The other thing you're failing to grasp is the technology. We're not talking chemical propelled rockets anymore... at least at some level.

I thought the creator of the thread wanted to discuss ideas of such a concept put forward by a person that may or may not (well the US military says he did...), hack into sensitive Military computer systems and obtain information that none of the rest of us has...
what PART OF THAT requires you to debunk this??

Up until recently I did not know we had a space command, not until I went to the Cheyenne Mountain site and saw the patch.
Patch 1
Patch 2
In my Star Gate thread I naturally was "checking out" the mountain. To find this patch on a Cheyenne Mountain site was interesting. One of the people working in the base wrote a post to assure me that there is nothing like a star gate there and that SG-1 is actually a broom closet.
What is really amusing to me is how people inadvertantly ad to the mystery. Had he not told me there was a door that had SG-1 on it, the thought would never have crossed my mind.
And would you really be expected to believe an employee telling you nothing is going on? Or was he trying to tell me something
