Why is it that Alan Shepard was getting so many sweet business deals in the early 1960's?
Not only was he from one of America's oldest influential families, he was personally very charming. He also knew how to keep his eyes on the prize. Just what kind of people do you think the first astronauts were? Reading too much propaganda in Life Magazine, are we?

I heard that morale was so low before the Apollo 14 liftoff that Shepard had to make propaganda films for the NASA employees at KSC because so many of them were being layed off at the time he was worried about quality control.
It's true. Add that to your narrative, mate.
Cite please. You just made claim now prove it.

I often go to antique stores which have stacks of old life magazines.
I would highly recommend that you spend days (and weeks) just looking through old magazines from that time period.
It is only then that you will come to realize the full reality of extreme anti-communist paranoia that engulfed mainstream America during those decades.
Who said i was ?

And why are you brainwashing your kids with 40 year old military-industrial anti-communist propaganda?

Alan Shepard as a goon any way you slice it. I must admit that I had to look up "antiemetic". Now that I know hat the word means I do crave l a double helping whenever I see that jerk. Nice thread.

LOL! It seems decisively has returned!
I guess being banned 3-4 times isn't enough!
Myth believers claimed that Neil and Buzz could have only left such firm, defined boot prints in soil with moisture. But close examination of the lunar soil brought back to Earth showed it to be virgin. The grains still had their sharp edges. They had not been rounded off by wind and erosion in an atmosphere. In their vacuum the sharp edges of lunar soil cling together, leaving a smooth surface much as moist sand does on a beach. “Where were the stars?” the myth believers then asked.
So what is it? Are stars EASILY seen, or are they like Armstrong says, not seen?
