There was an estimated 400,000 people involved directly and indirectly in the Apollo programme mate. It wasn’t just NASA, companies such as Lockheed, Boeing, Gruman, Douglas aircraft companies. Also Westinghouse, General Motors, plus many other huge companies were also involved in the R & D and the building. There were static ground models, unmanned test flights and also manned test flights as well as the six flights that actually put men on the moon. A huge, even , pardon the pun, astronomical undertaking taking years and enormous manpower and costs. Cheers.

I thought it was mC who said “I’ve nothing to declare but my genius!” ? Cheers.

You know when you are being interviewed for a job and they ask you “what do you consider your failings? “. I’d have no hesitation in saying “ I can’t help replying to absolute nonsense on THL, when I know for a fact I’m absolutely, totally, wasting my time ! “ LOL ! Cheers.

My grandparents were Irish; does that count ? LOL ! Cheers.

Give it a rest mate, if the Russians were to use tactical nuclear weapons on Ukraine they would be delivered by cruise type missiles or tactical bombers ! By your logic we should get rid of our nuclear deterrent because we never use it ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Why do the Russians fly Bear aircraft up and down the Baltic Sea and the North Sea on an almost daily basis ? And NATO scrambles fighters to “escort” them out of our airspace. The B52’ s flew from Diego Garcia, refuelled at Jeddah airport on their way to deliver “shock & awe “ to Baghdad. Cheers.
-
The American B52 strategic bomber was built between 1955 and 1963 but is still their main strategic nuclear capable bomber, Just as the Russian Bear aircraft is. From the footage I’ve seen , they won’t be putting any of them back in the air ! Cheers.

When a homeland for the Jews was being planned, there were three places under consideration; Uganda, The Palestine Mandate and eastern Saudi Arabia. The US President asked the king of Saudi about the Jews having a homeland in Saudi Arabia. ”Why ?” Asked the king. The President said” because the Germans killed 6 million Jews” The King pondered this for a moment, and with impeccable Bedouin logic said “ well, give the Jews Germany ! “. That ended the conversation, and the rest, as they say, is history ! Cheers.

When I saw the title of the thread, a voice in my head was screaming “ don’t, for fucks sake don’t take the bait”, but no, it was like a siren calling me in ! LOL ! Cheers.

Mate, I’m a bit of an enigma in this; I’m an Arabist, ( NOT , I hasten to add, an Islamist ! ), but also a bit of a Zionist in that I think the Jews should have their own homeland. Mutually incompatible ? Maybe……But it’s just my opinion through knowing people from both sides. Cheers.

One of the things I like about the internet is you read things that get your interest and you can immediately get information on what you’ve read. I’ve just spent a few minutes reading about The Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. Wont make one iota of difference to my life, but interesting anyway ! Cheers.
-
Not wanting an argument mate, but that statement piqued my interest. I only googled three countries that have been involved in wars lately, Iraq, Libya and Ukraine, and they all have Central Banks ? Cheers.

Germany and Russia had a pact, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Hitler - Stalin Pact just before WW2 to not attack each other and to split up Eastern Europe between them. Then Hitler got greedy and launched Operation Barbarossa and invaded Russia, breaking the pact and causing Russia to align with the Allies. Why Russia has attacked Ukraine is open to interpretation on who you believe, but Russia was happy to cooperate with Nazi Germany before WW2 until Hitler done the dirty on them , turned out to be a big mistake ! Cheers.
-
Yes mate !!!! Check the shipping to Newcastle-Upon Tyne , England , UK . And let me know Cheers.
-
There’s lots of the heads about, especially in America where they say it’s a cross between a Jack rabbit and an antelope. Id love one for the man cave. Cheers.
-
I was expecting someone else to tell me his dogs have killed 1,000’s ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
A cross between a hare and a roe, only found in wildest Northumberland ! Cheers.

There’s a pub, The Black Cock, at the foot of Kielder dam in Falstone that had the best Jackalope head I’ve seen. I wanted to buy it but they wouldn’t sell ; This is a file photo, not the one in the pub. Cheers.
-
What is it you take “firmament “ to mean ? Cheers.
-
Do you honestly believe that every rocket and space probe that’s been sent to study mars, Jupiter, the sun etc, is a hoax ? I’ve read the bible and took firmament to mean everything outside the realms of earth, not a physical barrier. Cheers.
-
Because he was a scientist and physicist who spent his life studying and trying to understand the workings of the Universe. Just like Einstein said “god was a mathematician, he didn’t play dice”. what conspiracy was Einstein referring to ? Dont just read the first line of a conspiracy theory, mate. Look at it objectively, read conclusions from all aspects and make a reasoned decision. Cheers.
-
By what stretch of the imagination does that equate to the moon landings being a hoax ? Cheers.
-
The phone was linked to a S-band radio transmitter/responder at Mission Control. Reducing it to something even you might understand, it’s like using a land line to call a moblle or maybe you’re not old enough to remember dial-up internet connections. Cheers.
-
Who talked on a land line to the moon ? Cheers.
-
There were six moon landings and 12 men walked on the moon . There were over 400,000 people involved either directly or indirectly. The moonshots were monitored by Americas friends and enemies, including Russia, China, the UK , Australia, Japan and European countries. Everyone coverup a hoax , or were fooled , or they really happened ? I know what I think…… Cheers.
