Absolutely fascinating place Ali. We also missed a launch of one of the smaller rockets by 2 days. Think it was a test for the Orion.
I still don't believe they went to the moon though but that's a whole other thread.:lol:

There is no possible way it could have been faked and have remained a secret all this time.
Ali Tait
23-10-2015, 23:19
As it says in there, there were around 400,000 people in total involved with the Apollo programme. That many people and no leaked proof of fakery speaks for itself.

Nice one Anto.
The US Govt would have assessed every scenario and realised that future technology would show up any fakery. As is the case with the 911 conspiracy theorists who say it was staged. Bollocks was it! Every argument saying that has been discredited. I've a mate who believes all the 'conspiracy theory' crap on the net. I despair!! :rolleyes:
Me? I'm still waiting for 'The Second Coming'. As if. (sorry to the religious. Maybe)
I don't know about 'Foo' in Hi-Fi, but there's plenty about in every day life. Mainly for the easily led with over active imaginations I'd say.

Nowt to do with that film, but I did enjoy it.
There's loads of reasons they want to put stuff up there. Primarily intelligence and defence.

The question was asked Ali why anybody would build a rocket if not to go to the moon. I'm just suggesting there's plenty of reasons to build a rocket, far more compelling than going to the moon.
Ali Tait
23-10-2015, 23:54
Well yes, but I believe that was in reference to the Saturn 5 in particular. Did you have a look at it over there?
Amazing machine!
doubt that technology was available at that time anyways ... I dont doubt that there are people in the us service that could make plans for all the conspiricy theorys to happen but actually making a plan happen and keeping it secret is nigh on impossible even in a closed state like the former USSR far less the USA. Hell, they couldnt keep anything like that secret, especially in those times....far less carry it out(aka the bay of pigs):)
sells books though

Indeed. And why fake it NINE times? Makes no sense..
The so-called Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) used a real time operating system, which enabled astronauts to enter simple commands by typing in pairs of nouns and verbs, to control the spacecraft. It was more basic than the electronics in modern toasters that have computer controlled stop/start/defrost buttons. It had approximately 64Kbyte of memory and operated at 0.043MHz.
Look, am not having it ok and that's that.:lol:

When we were at Kennedy my wife had her smartphone in her hand, taking pics and posting things to social media. I pointed out to her as we were standing next to a command module how little processing power they had compared to what she was holding. Its mind-blowing all the same.

Lucky really , as a farmer ,you tend to be a jack of all trades (and master of none :lol: so they say) but you tend to turn your hand to anything going ,instead of specialising !!

That's what I thought! :lol:
I quite fancy a bit of metal detecting myself. I used to know a girl whose granddad had a farm that had a Roman road going past it. Tried to get her to convince him to let us do it but he wasn't keen. Figured we might at least find a few coins and that.
found any ancient coins?
Ha , no !! I have a couple of old boys from the Wirral that have covered most of the farm. They found a Charles penny 1802 , on an old access road down to the canalside. That was nice as it dates to the same time they were digging the cutting throught the back of the farm at that time , when the canal was being built!! Mind you ,its barely readable!! Nothing Roman just a couple of lead loom weights , and a small goat bell.
Most of my detecting is looking for WW2 crash sites ,which is interesting , as we had a lot of trainer aircraft ploughing in hereabouts and the luftwaffe were forever going over in the early yrs on their way to bomb Liverpool Docks .
Dont get much of anything where i am. Romans didnt hang about here long. Nor did the war tbh. We had a ww1 hospital nearbye and the odd ww2 bomb got dropped by accident but thats about it . A lot of pre roman stuff up hills like burial sites. Cairnpapple is a big important one. Early silver mining too, and an early royal castle that Robert Bruce gave to his daughter on her marriage to Walter high steward of Scotland. Nothing left of it and theres a golf course on top so you cant go digging lol

Marco.
Put it this way, his other half bought him some guitar lessons for Christmas a couple of years ago, as he'd me tioned he might take some to see if he could improve his playing. He went for his first lesson, couple of minutes in, the teacher said, "There's nothing I can teach you mate, here's your money back" :-)
True story.
Hi Russell, great to see another bass player
Aye, nice to see another bass player.
Currently I have a pair of Fenders, Jazz and Precision. Both in nice vintage sunburst. I've had the jazz bass so long it's practically an extension of my arm. Was new about 12 years ago but has all the battle scars we've earned together. Nobody else would want it but it's mine and I love it.

Nice basses Rich, I love Jazz basses. I've only got a fairly new Precision and an Ibanez 6 string that does sound ffffffing amazing. I really miss my old Rickenbacker 4001 ( seen in my avatar ), I wish I'd never sold it. Also got a Fender Strat but I do struggle with my fat sausage fingers

Always struggled with my weight untill I found Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). A long term shoulder injury forced me to retire 2 years ago but I still practice. Weight lifting has taken over recently.

bestwith a Scottish morning roll, although I guess you wont get them down south. When I worked all over the country for years, morning rolls were the biggest miss; especially with Glasgow sausage and brown sauce and a tattie scone on top.;) bit of black pud too if available . a trillion calories but you have to feed a working body Shane :D

Oh no, it goes straight to my head all too quickly, it's the 'beads' you know (that's the correct terminology for the bubbles :ner:)
Much prefer strong real ale, talking of which we are going to a 'Green Beer festival' on Friday :cool:
Not big on Champagne, as I think a lot of it is vastly overpriced for what it is, especially the entry-to-mid level stuff. Some of the top vintage varieties (Dom Perignon, etc) can be excellent though, but you're over £100 a bottle for those.
English sparkling white (which to all intents and purposes is 'Champagne', although they can't call it that) can be very good indeed, especially stuff from small, specialist producers, and is much cheaper than vintage Champagne.
This is an excellent one, from Somerset: http://www.waitrosecellar.com/sparkling-wine/smith---evans-higher-plot-sparkling-595405
IMO, it's WAY better than Moet, and up there with a good Pol Roger, so that's one for 'fizz lovers' to look out for.
Me? I usually much prefer a *good* bottle of Prosecco!
Marco.

Is there much of a real ale scene in France, Alan? It's not something I've ever encountered during my travels there :)
I like real ales, but not too strong (as I don't like 'tasting' the alcohol), so max 6% Vol, for me, and preferably blonde or amber. Not really into the dark 'treacley' stuff.

Ah yes, I forgot about that!

Im more of a lager/pilsner type when I have one.
Same here, although I'd rather have a good real ale than a poor 'lager', such as any of the UK-produced stuff, which is just dire :spew:

used to drink tenants lager when younger a lot as it was best of the bunch when kept well. Funnily Harp could be good too but you needed a good cellarman for it. Funny stuff. Took a long time for continental lagers to appear. Still like Bud in bottles, but getting a taste for german wheat beer now.

I remember Tennent's lager, during the 70s and early 80s, with the dolly birds on the back of the cans - now *that* was funny! And in the 80s used to drink it as a teenager with my mates, just to get pissed on, but I certainly wouldn't touch it now.
In terms of the bit in bold, you're right, but remember that some of us have been travelling abroad to the likes of France, Italy and Germany since we were kids, and so from an early age, were no strangers to the joys of 'continental lager', thus developed a taste for it to compare with the shite here... ;)

70's we went to spain mostly if out of country. I was into sangria lol.
Cool... I was drinking Kronenbourg and Birra Moretti, from about the age of 12, although not in any large quantity. Just the odd glass with a meal, which is the continental way :)

Remember getting pissed on Spanish bubbly at 14.:D Stuff was strong and went straight to the bloodstream

Harpic we used to call it, after Harpic Bleachmatic. They used to sell it on the trains for a long time, in those dinky little cans. It wasn't the worst thing ever I suppose.

The first beer I ever drank was McEwan's Export; a can smuggled on to a school trip that involved going round the Mersey estuary on a boat. It tasted shite (the beer, not the Mersey, though I don't suppose that tastes very nice either).
Beer was meant to taste shite so kids wouldn't drink it

If you'd drunk Mersey water in those days you'd be dead before you'd taken 3 steps.

my brother was into real ale for a while but still liked export too. I never got on with it personally although with a splash of lemonade it was ok:sofa:
He liked Theakstons best bitter too in the big bottles
