REMINDER, SINCE this particular "evidence" regarding the laser
reflectors (which are indisputably on the surface of the Moon)
has been repeatedly cited as "proof" that living human beings
have actually been to the Moon and back (i.e., only by badly-
educated nitwits who were duped by NASA's propaganda machine),
but were in reality *unmanned* missions at best that occurred
nearly FOUR DECADES ago, I'll briefly address this issue one
more time for the benefit of conscientious lurkers out there:

http://www.aerospaceguide.net/spacecraft/lunakhod.html
"Lunokhod 1 was the first successful Soviet remote-
controlled moon rover that was carried to the Moon
by Luna 17. It was launched November 10, 1970. The
rover had eight wheels.
"The Luna 17 spacecraft landed on the moon on November
17, 1970. Lunokhod 1 weighed just under 2,000 pounds
and was designed to operate for 90 days while guided
by a 5-person team. Lunokhod 1 explored the Mare
Imbrium for 11 months and traveled 11km and relayed
television pictures and scientific data.
Lunokhod 2 moon rover was an improved version of
Lunokhod 1. It was carried to the moon on Luna 21
and landed on January 16, 1973. Lunokhod 2 was faster
and carried an additional television camera. It
travelled 37km in only 8 weeks." [end quote]

http://www.zarya.info/Diaries/Luna/Lunokhod1.htm
"Lunokhod 1 went to the Moon aboard Luna 17. Its
eight wire-mesh wheels each has its own electric
motor to allow manoeuvring in tight spaces, and so
failure of a single motor did not prevent it from
moving.
The lidded box at the left is a French-built laser
reflector. It was used to reflect back to Earth a
laser beam, making it possible to measure the
distance between the Earth and Moon to an accuracy
of twenty to thirty centimetres" [end quote]

http://www.zarya.info/Diaries/Luna/Lunokhod2.htm
"There is an additional high-level TV camera for
panoramic photography, and all lenses have
improved sunshades.
The small silver box between the front wheels is
an alpha particle emitter which can be lowered
onto the Moon to measure soil composition. Like
its predecessor, Lunokhod 2 carries a French
retro-reflector for use with a laser beam
transmitted from Earth. It allows the Earth-Moon
distance to be measured to an accuracy around 20
centimetres.

http://www.zarya.info/Diaries/Luna/Luna16.htm
"the cone-shaped antenna keeps communication with
Earth while the drill arm sits in its rest position
on the right. The sample will be taken by rotating
the drill head by one hundred and eighty degrees,
lowering the drill arm to the surface and extracting
a core sample.
On returning to the rest position, the sample is
transferred to the return capsule and sent back to
Earth" [end quote]

Therefore the Soviet Lunokhod I/II-Luna XVII/XXI missions
both successfully landed their unmanned remote-controlled
lunar-rovers a.k.a. dune-buggies on the Moon: in the same
time frame as the alleged "apollo" missions were supposed
to have occurred. These remote-controlled Russian buggies
placed French- made laser reflectors on the Moon! Another
Soviet unmanned mission, Luna XVI, landed on the Moon and
returned a soil sample to the Earth by September 24, 1970:
from the Moon, unmanned, programmed and remote-controlled.

So laser-reflecting corner prisms were placed on the Moon
by unmanned probes and a 100g x 35 cm soil sample drilled
out from the lunar surface was sent back to Earth by this
earlier of these unmanned missions all in the early 1970s.
This completely and absolutely destroys any argument that
lunar soil samples or lunar laser reflectors "prove" that
men were on the Moon. Rather, as with all other evidences
cited allegedly supporting of the "apollo" missions, upon
precise examination the same evidence proves at least the
"manned" portions of these apollo missions were definitely
hoaxed. Men NEVER went to the Moon, because men have NEVER
achieved and survived sustained altitudes much above about
five or six hundred miles above Earth's sea level. Got it?
Remember, the Moon is almost a quarter million miles away--
that's *HALF A MILLION MILES ROUND TRIP*! Get the picture?

By contrast, the Russians proved that they did send their
unmanned probes to the Moon to wit: the presence of laser
reflectors left thereon by the aforesaid Lunokhod buggies.
It could be argued that the lunar soil samples were faked
somehow, but laser reflecting corner cubes are irrefutable
evidence that unmanned robotic probes put them there. See?

At least, the demonstrable presence of the "apollo" laser
reflectors proves the American space program successfully
sent some UNMANNED probes to the Moon -and- has continued
to launch many unmanned instruments into space ever since.
All these missions are UNMANNED. Why? The Sun, that's why.
That's why they NEVER send men into outer space. Not once.
Otherwise, they'd fry to a crisp in the intense radiation:

Duh. What's your point? Some *cars* have more mileage on them than
that. (Personally, I've never gotten one past about 148k miles. Does
that mean that any claim of humans travelng farther is bunk?)

Yet you have no problem believing that machines can make the one-way
trip.

Do you believe Russian Zonds circled the Moon and returned? Waving
that number around as if it were the light barrier, proves nothing,
considering Earth escape velocity is 25,000 mph to begin with.

If you believe *unmanned* probes have been sent all over the solar
system, then a half-million miles is pissing in the ocean.

If you want to believe in the tooth fairy, then believe in the

know I'm not alone in my concerted dis-belief in NASA's patently
impossible "men-to-the-moon" fish story. It stinks to HIGH HEAVEN!

The Collected Buffoonery of Daniel Joseph Min - Usenet's most failed prophet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is Danny Min?
What does he post?
Examples of failed prophecies
What you should do

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is Daniel J. Min?
Daniel J. Min is a denizen of Usenet newsgroups. He posts using various variations on his name, including using asterisks or underlines in place of letters. Often he will post as "Nomen Nescio" or Anonymous, and he used to post as GOD >.
The reason for this is to get around peoples "kill files" or "bozo filters"

However, he consistently posts through anonymous "remailers" in order to disguise his true identity

He posts to various newsgroups, including alt.astrology, alt.astronomy, and alt.prophecies.nostradamus. He posts in any inappropriate newsgroup he deems neccessary.

Additionally Danny has been known to directly email people, once again, using his anonymous remailer service.

What does he post?
Danny posts various garbage claims about astrological influences, and birthdata, which he generally makes up as he goes along. Outstanding amongst his posts include claims to know exactly the birthdata of Jesus Christ, Johannes Kepler, Ptolemy, and various other historical characters.
He posts silly prophecies and claims, and even at times posts his own "kill file list" which has become so large that it's unlikely he even *sees* anyone else s posts anymore.

Some Classic examples of Danny's failed prophecies
(Danny's "prophetic" words are italicized)
Danny predicts the "Great Khan of Terror":
On 15 Nov 1999 22:34:03 -0600, GOD wrote in these newsgroups:
The king of terror will come some time around the month of May in 2000.

At this time, the inner planets will all be lined up on one side of the sun with the exception of the Earth which will be directly at the opposite side.

The increased gravitational effects of the sun combined with the added pull from the other planets will have a devastating effect on the earth.

At this time, all major fault lines will rupture. California will experience the big one at this time.

Volcanic activity will increase and it is very likely that the Long Valley Caulderra will explode cataclysmicly. These types of events will be occurring at roughly the same time throughout the entire planet.

To top it off, the suns corona will be nudged away from the earth...towards the grouped inner planets, effectively creating a massive coronal hole (I.E." the "three days of darkness").

When the pull of the alignment comes to pass, the corona will snap back to the earth facing side thereby releasing a CME of massive proportions....aimed directly at planet Earth.

Believe me, there will be terror at this time.

Danny moves "The Great Kahn of Terror" by yet another 7 months:

The 42nd President of the United States is the very

He will announce our *National Emergency* shortly,

&There is no reason to repeal the 22nd amendment,
given that Mr. President William Jefferson Clinton

amendment does not apply. Neither does a term limit
apply in his case, given that this is indeed a true
state of emergency with bloody violence seen to be
escalating in the State of Florida and elsewhere,
spreading like wildfire as it is in the mid east.

Get to higher ground if you can (look at England!)
Daniel Joseph Min

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what should you do about him?

Well, first of all, you can be pretty sure based on his success rate that anything he has to say is wrong.
Someone once said, rather well, that "there is too much Min, and not enough Nostradamus" in what he posts.


Complaining won't do much, because he's they type of individual that doesn't feel the need to explain himself.
Asking him to stop only feeds him.
complaining to his anonymous remailer service results in nothing.
About the best thing to be said, is just be aware of what a buffoon he is.

Truth is not subject to majority vote, yes.

And I note you've not answered my questions....

But I do hope I can find you when human activity on the Moon begins
again. (by what government or private entity is another matter) Your
excuses should be up there witht those who seemed to welcome the
collapse of civilization with Y2K.

And my political affiliation has what to do with the truth or
falsity of going to the Moon?

Encouraging more COTS-type activity, and no inappropriate regulation
on private human space activity, will do more (in this particular
regard) than voting in any particular set of scoundrels, to replace the
current set of scoundrels.

I sorry, your sentence structure is not possible.

You see you used the term liberal in the present day tense, which has no
bases in reality. They believe that the laws of thermal dynamics can be
repealed, and feeling good will somehow right all evils.

Scientists develop postulates and theorems, are actively pursuing truth
in a subject matter.

Therefore there cannot be a liberal scientist.

Lesion? My working theory has been that the dors decided that
they couldn't remove the railroad spike from his skull without
killing him, so they just left it in place.

There are 2 points :-

1) The Russians desperately wanted to discredit NASA. Surely if there
is just a slither of truth in your allegations the Russians would have
shouted it from the rooftops.

2) The Apollo team consisted of a large number of people. Now you can
have a consipacy in the CIA where only a small number of people are
involved on a "need to know" basis. With Apollo someone would have
leaked by now.

The simple fact of the matter is that because of the Cold War a larger
percentage of resources was devoted to space exploration than is the
case now. This coupled with the fact that NASA was probably a lot more
imaginative and better organized than now. Now it is very much a
bueaucratic organization.

As far as safety is concerned people then were simply prepared to take
more risks.

There's a 3rd factor you forgot. The apollo mission left it's own laser
reflectors there too, and 4th factor, NASA has well over a TON of moon rock,
dmj the dimwit has zero idea how NASA got it.

Ordinarily I don't feed trolls.

But in this case there is actually evidence to back up this guy's
claims! Particularly the design details of the "corner cube reflectors"
used; it's all laid out in perfect detail at http://www.timecube.com
