He didn't say that going to the moon was cheap and easy. He said it was cheaper and easier than faking it. Context is everything.

Oh yes, amazing how that happened considering he won the election for President.

So what? You seriously believe that Richard Nixon somehow came up with the plan to fake every Apollo mission, and pulled it off in that short an amount of time, and not one single person has been willing to talk about it? Richard Nixon must have been an incredible genius, to have thought of everything.

The important fact remains:
All the NASA missions outside of low earth orbit were under Nixon's control.

The Apollo 11 crew selections were announced on Richard Nixon's birthday, January 9, 1969.
I am afraid that you are not going to win this argument, Zaphod.
Richard Nixon's Apollo is directly inspired by Richard Nixon's involvement with Operation Paperclip, his connections to Navy Intelligence, his connections to Howard Hughes, Nixon's 1968 comeback, and his decisions to escalate the Viet Nam War while claiming to do exactly the opposite.
I don't understand why you would defend NASA under Richard Nixon when you know Nixon was a traitor in 1968.

Now do you believe the von Prophecy is real?

Now do you believe the von Prophecy is real?
von braun's "prophecy" has no implication that they faked the moon landing.. von braun's "prophecy" implies that they would make up a threat in order to increase funding so they could make weapons win contracts..
real weapons were made.. the threats are what may or may not be real.. von braun's "prophecy" is implying that the threats may or may not be real.. not the weapons and not the moon landing.
the weapons and the moon landing were very much real.. they would be wasting money they could have pocketed if they faked it.. why fake it when its cheaper to not fake it?

In 1933 the new Nazi government interfered and, on taking power, immediately demanded ownership of Junkers' patents and control of his remaining companies.

According to a BBC documentary in 2011, the attacks resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced labourers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons.

You have a severe lack of knowledge on Howard Huges and Richard Nixon. In fact he didnt like Howard Huges this is because Nixons brother took an investment loan from him. And he bribed one of his friends a man by the name Charles Rebozo gave 100,000 to nixons campaign fund basically trying to buy access like he said he was going to do. Rebozo was frankly duped and only thinking of the money this put Nixon in cover your butt mode. In fact this is the reason for the water gate break ins. Nixon was trying to find out what Larry O’Brien knew about the donation.
Now keep in mind Nixon all ready knew the Howard huges backed Hubert Humphrey in his failed bid donating over 300000 to his campaign. Nixonin no way shape or form thought Howard Huges a friend but a political rival. They wereforced to work together partly because of huges reputation he was loved by the public. Which amazed me really since he was the quintessential playboy. And for building aircraft there was no one better on the planet. .
So your whole theory just doesnt hold water. You cant get your information from conspiracy websites they only tell you part of the story but never the whole truth.

thats a big rant about unwilling participant..
but it still doesnt make radiation within 12 days a limiting factor for man to land on the moon.

I never made a radiation argument that said that. My position is that Bellcomm had plans on the books for using Apollo hardware on 12+ day missions and if I recall correctly, up to a week or more on the lunar surface. What that means is Apollo hardware was considered fully capable and radiation safe for longer duration missions.
The basic Apollo missions lasted of about 12 days. 21 day missions would not pose any radiation hazardous conditions for the astronauts, according to the summary data in NASA SP-368, Bio-Medical Results of Apollo.
At what point would the radiation exposures on the extended missions become hazardous, choos? 30 days using Apollo era hardware? 60? 90 days?

Did you think because von Braun only wore his Nazi outfit a few times that history would forget his total effort of 'unwilling participations'? HAHAHA. The jokes on you. Because if that were true, von Braun would have ended up on house arrest, like Hugo Junkers.
You misclassified Werner von Braun as an 'unwilling participant' when you know for a fact he was willing to do anything to achieve his dreams. Anything up to and including using slave labor and creating WMD for the Führer.
Google Hugo Junkers, who was a REAL unwilling participant to the Nazi regime, see what happened to him. House arrest in 1933 because he was not willing to participate simply in the manufacture of aircraft for a war effort that Germany was not supposed to be undertaking.

So you say Werner von Braun was the 'unwilling participant' in the manufacture of 3,000 "Vengeance Weapon 2" and then unwilling participant in the rocket terrorist attacks on the Allies. Was Werner von Braun also unwilling participant in using forced labor?
According to a BBC documentary in 2011, the attacks resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced labourers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons.
Hugo Junkers was unwilling to participate while Werner von Braun was a willing to participate, in the design engineering manufacture and delivery of weapons of mass destruction.
See how your Disneyland version of history doesn't stand up to scrutiny?

On December 24th, 1972 at 9:18 AM Howard Hughes "official" birthday Nixon made a call from Key Biscayne, Florida to Hughes in Nicaragua . Your view on the Nixon/Hughes relationship is completely wrong although you did manage to bring up Watergate into a disclosure thread! up: up:
What reasons would Nixon have to call Hughes on Christmas Eve??. Here are some possible reasons.
1. RN wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to HH. Why would RN do that if he didn't like HH?
2. RN wanted to wish HH a Happy Birthday. Again.
3. RN wanted to work on a business deal with HH on Christmas EVE and on HH's birthday knowing full well that HH doesn't take calls from the President of the United States. EVER!
4. RN wanted to thank HH for his hard work in the Apollo 17 Moon Landing TV Hoax which had just finished up on Dec. 19th.
5. RN wanted to talk to HH about what movies he was watching in Managua.
Your attempt to disconnect Nixon from Hughes is wrong. How will you explain the phone call?

[emphasis mine]
Apollo LM Taxi
American manned lunar lander. Cancelled 1968. The LM Taxi was essentially the basic Apollo LM modified for extended lunar surface stays.
This was expected to be the workhorse of both Apollo Applications Extended Lunar Surface Missions beginning in 1970 and still be used to shuttle crews to the surface to larger LESA (Lunar Exploration System for Apollo) in the mid- to late- 1970's.
Changes included additional water, oxygen, LH2, and Lox tankage in the descent stage in the payload bays; fuel cells in the ascent stage; a redundant Lox tank in the ascent stage over the back of the LM; and additional micrometeorite and radiation shielding. This would permit the LM to accommodate a crew of three with the capability for a 14-day quiescent (inactive) lunar stay time, in addition to 3 days (active) operational time. The LM Taxi would land near the previously-landed LM Shelter or LESA Shelter, where the crew would spend most of its time during surface explorations lasting from 14 days to three months.
