not to mention how easily they could literally push themselves into lunar orbit. . .
One of the biggest fears of NASA as well as the astronauts was just that; getting to enthusiastic and bouncing up and away from things. I believe that they deliberately added weight to the boots of the suits so as to purposely slow down foot & leg action for this reason; even the rover had certain safeties tied into its dune-buggie design, that would guard against a never-ending Evel Knievel moment.
I'd love to know what the GPA was for all these shit-stirring brainiacs when they were in college . . . if they made it that far. Then too, who amongst them has a credible reputation in the field that have given reasonably sound data based on their specialties and area of work, to support this particular Conspiracy issue?
I've yet to see any such person involved and I'm betting that most of the "experts" had exceptionally low GPAs with a fair number of these nut jobs fitting the Jeff Foxworthy descriptive of being a "Red Neck" a.k.a. trailer trash with barely a High School diploma to speak of.
The real mystery, at least for me, is how supposedly educated and intelligent people get sucked into all this crap?
