Was just about to post the mythbusters videos. These are probably the same people who think 9/11 was an inside job and the planes aren't what brought down the towers. Idiots.

Yeah, we actually have reflectors to which we send laser that come back. I was just checking for conspiracy theorists.

I disagree. Nasa has much more credibility than our government. And the evidence is stacked much more against them than NASA too. Night and day, or oranges and apples as they say.

I don't like conspiracies. But I've seen the mirrors on the moon reflecting lasers beck to earth at the McDonald's observatory.

BBgun, I assume you have a personal issue with me. You've been trolling me quite a bit lately. What happened with WG and I was just a one time deal. No biggie, bro. It won't happens again. :D

I'd be honored to be on your ignore list.

Nah, no personal issue. But you are a Truther. You admitted as much in the 9-11 anniversary thread.

Great myth busters video. This myth was debunked long ago.

NASA and the National Science Foundation are funding a new facility in New Mexico, the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation or, appropriately, "APOLLO" for short. Using a 3.5-meter telescope with good atmospheric "seeing," researchers there will examine the moon's orbit with millimeter precision, 10 times better than before.

Whoa... And all this time I thought Nasa was part of our government...

Regarding that issue, I guess you could call me a truther.

LOL. I didn't mean to imply that it was a private entity. And indeed it is a part of our government. But it's not like most of them have political interests other than pushing the limits of human knowledge. I doubt you'd find them spending much time on CZ, pondering the game on Monday. That's not to say they're not human. They are and they have families, etc. Most just want money for missions and gathering data.

What we find out there is crucial to ourselves whether Washington admits it or not. Finding out ways to make things work differently key, I think, in saving resources. As much as some facets of groups of people will have you believe we have unlimited resources for our future, it's not true and I'm not suggesting we settle another planet or anything. I just think what they do in terms of comparative planetology and things of that nature is good science. And it has been sort of put off on the back burner as something which is unimportant.

NASA does have political interests, they do what the President tells them to do. NASA was a huge part of the Cold War and landing on the moon before Russia did was a huge deal.

Yeah, there was a space race. And that's one of the main reason for the conspiracy theory. But I disagree wholeheartedly. We just happened to be pushing the brink of technology at the time and we were both flexing our muscles. There is still some humorous animosity between American and Russian astronauts and astrophysicists, but it's all in good fun and really nothing personal or political now. But yeah, NASA does what the government tells them to do because that's who funds them.

I was just clarifying. No argument really. I wrote something that didn't make sense. LOL
