I'm not trying to be a pedant but if your going to stick the knife into folks and their achievements especially from the benign posistion of an internet forum it pays to know a bit about the blokes your working over from a factual stand point.
I don't personally agree with Bart Sibrel and his modus operandi but he had the Cojones to actually level his criticism at the blokes face to face...
Put the errors down to a combination of the fact that I'm tired (it's gone 2am for me right now I'm sleeping well because I'm bunged up with a rotton head cold) The USAAF thing was an innocent mix up, my Uncle was in the USAF during the 70's & 80's so I ought to have known that fact, it just slipped my mind when typing.
The thing is I have noting personally against those Astronauts, I look at them as cogs in a big machine. At the time there were needed to fulfill a role, a role they're having to still maintain 40+ years later, it's those puppet masters I have the problem with who are tugging the strings and making the whole system dance to their tune.
One of the key points for me that undermined this whole moon landing thing was the props used. The photos showed the moonbuggy parked on a slope and then later on that same mission they're supposed to be elsewhere yet the footage shows them clearly on the same ridge. The distant mountains are used in different shots apparently in different loacations. There's also a distinct horizon line as if the backdrop and the floor are two seperate items. These apparent errors were explained as clues that the people forced to depict the fake landings left in for future generations to see for what they are and not take in as gospel what they were seeing on the screen. For me these little tags spoke volumes. I would encourage you to watch the documentary I posted on the previous page with that science fiction mind of yours in top gear and see it for what it is showing. You may find yourself surprised.
As for the Titanic and the Olympic, it would be interesting to know if the ship dismantled decades later after years of service had a bent keel or not or had a permanant list to one side. As for the builders of the ship, they were in Belfast Ireland, the ship was dismantled at Jarrow and later in Inverkeithing Scotland. (thanks Google)
If the events shown in the dramatisation segments were true then I don't think those businessmen would have given much cosideration to the moral ethics of sinking a ship they knew to be the damaged Olympic, they just made it into a greater disaster by not getting the Californian on station when or where they said. Hubris has that effect sometimes, and their tracks have obviously been well covered.
I applaud the makers for actually doing the research on it and presenting it the way they did. I enjoyed it and could well believe such a thing took place, certainly ties off a lot of loose ends... or maybe I'm just a cynic.
Man I am shattered, g'night all.
