Folks, Please avoid thread derailment.

What can you tell us that they can not tell us?

Stop the personal attacks.

This thread is locked because it is a poor attempt to start a discussion.

Hmm....... perhaps it is The Mark Of The Best!

As a child, every television show told me that my great-great-great-grand-parents were monkeys. Today, our children are corraled by "adults" who play games with the souls of children --- who devote their lives believing and unwittingly teaching idiotic science-fiction disinformation cartoons to children. I am suggesting that your point is much more meaningful within the context of the extended family and the cycle of life. I realized my parents were just regular people when I spent time with my grand-mother alone under her roof. After being forced into marriage to an asshole, she was a widow at the age of 18 years. An only child, her daughter did everything possible to keep us apart. My mother still believes most of what she sees on television to be true. She is now reduced to a child-like state. My great-grand-parents did not celebrate SantaClaus nor the easter bunny nor the tooth fairy but they did teach the invisible boogey-man was real.

What about our grand-parents? What about our grand-kids?? reductio ab infinitum

Folks, Please avoid trolling.

This thread is temporarily locked. You all need to tone down the inflammatory rhetoric or take your games elsewhere.

Folks, Do not derail the topic of this discussion with hate-mongering and other crap.

In that case, this thread is locked. You will have to do much better than that to start a discussion here or go play games elsewhere.

Folks, Please be polite. Tone down the inflammatory rhetoric.

This thread is locked because it is a poor attempt to stimulate a discussion. Perhaps place it in an active thread.

Guys, Please keep the discussion cordial. There is no need to make the discussion personal.

This thread is locked because it is a garbage attempt to start a discussion.

This thread is locked because it is garbage. Do not dump garbage in this forum.

The way I see things, Everything = The Past but thanks for the leads! They help. Do you believe Piccard's balloon rise happened as reported? I do not. I reckon it is still worthy of historical discussion. Do you believe the days in Ook's time were of the same duration as ours? Do you believe that matters?

How do you guys define space "history" as distinct from fairy tales? What pivotal event would you say defines when space history starts? I want to distinguish what is seen from the ground with what is seen/discovered from space exploration.

The Great Year is estimated to be around 25k to 30,000 years before everything above us resets. The sheer amount of recorded historical data to be able to calculate that is inhuman. There are only 2 ways that that any of our astronomical public knowledge can possibly exist: 1) The earth is ridiculously old beyond belief and all astronomical historical recorded data has been preserved during all of that time; or 2) divine intervention. Where is all of the recorded astronomical data? Who has been preserving it?? She holds the key to our astro-geometric reality from the ground looking up. Without her trajectory, none of the "mathematics" you hold so dear would be solvable. In caveman's terms, we would not be able to tell whether the moon orbits us or the sun. Venus ties all of the mathemagical physics together to prove that the moon orbits us as distinct from it orbiting the sun or the sun orbiting the moon. Although my eye-sight is not very good, I believe I saw venus swing by at night during the summer. I enjoy watching them wandering stars rush past the constellations. Last summer, there were 2 bulbs flipping at the south/half-way point of their trajectories. Looking out the window is better than wide-screen television ever will be! I would be too chicken-shit be it yesterday, tomorrow or today but what do you think motivated the Apollo 7 crew at their time? Were they misled into a false sense of security? or were they simply stooges with a death wish??

Calm down, guys. Stop the nagging. None of you are the topic of discussion.

Grow up, guys. If you have nothing to contribute to the discussion, do not post.

This where I am supposed to say: "I accept your surrender." LOL Space history sure is peculiar. Did Gargarin forget to bring a camera? or Are the Russians holding black-mail photographs?

Folks, Do not make me "Avoid thread drift." for you.

If you encounter somebody violating the forum rules report it, ignore it and do not respond in kind.

Guys, Play the ball. Do not play the person.
