I remember watching Neil Armstrong land on the Moon...And I remember the days when our national heroes looked like this...
.
And not like this...
or this...
or this...
Yet here we are...
.
Rest in Peace Neil Armstrong...

Good Urban legend but it ain't true.
more than meets the eye
Yeager did not like him because he was the new breed of engineer pilots rather then a natural.........
Armstrong did not like Yeagers Style because he was not a engineer.
He was not a perfect stick & rudder pilot.....his X-15 overshoot - the longest (time wise) X-15 ride ever made and the "Nellis affair" soon after points in that direction.
Yeager on Armstrong "Neill was a pretty good engineer" a backhanded comment by Yeager.
"He wasn't too good a airplane driver"
Armstrong on Yeager " Yeager was a pilot and a good one , he had a limited understanding of aeronautical engineering & limited educational exposure. He I don't, think quite understood what we were trying to learn.
He was very good at flying aircraft and doing aerobatics and loved geting involved into mock combat conditions one on one.
But he seemes to have less interest in precision and getting info and drawing conclusions from that.
He seemed impatient - not so much bored - but impatient with planning and techniques of NACA."
i saw a program where buzz aldrin described the moon landing where it was actually a cock up.
they missed their target - the sea of tranquility - and were flying over craters and ridges.
then armstrong said 'there.... '
and took them down safely with 10seconds of fuel to spare.
He was a dude.
i looked for the same interview but all i could find was this... from 1.52.

1969: NASA exploring Moon.
2012: TSA exploring Uranus.
1957: CCCP is putting first sputnik in orbit.
1960: CCCP is putting first dog in orbit (1957 dogs is not make it)
1961: CCCP is putting first cosmonaut in orbit.
1969: CCCP is laughing at claim of Amerikans on moon surface. Soviet is knowing telemetry tapes is big fake. Russian physicist is know impossible task.
When see perfect landing and module reconnect, is laughing so hard vodka is exit nasal cavity! American is still believing this nationalism story?! Okay, where is telemetry tape now? Most important event in world and is cannot find? Oh, sorry, Boris misplace, is right here in back pocket! Not!
Sorry, left out solitary piece of Soviet Space History...
1949: CCCP is stealing rocket technology from Americans to make first ICBM.
Difference between Russians and Americans is Soviet tells lie and Russian laugh, American government tells lie and American cry big tear of patriotic rapture!
re Difference between Russians and Americans is Soviet tells lie and Russian laugh, American government tells lie and American cry big tear of patriotic rapture!
LOL! You'll get no argument outta me on that one!
Used to work with a Russian guy - ex Soviet Army. ONe story he liked to tell was how the "Dumb Americans" (his phrase) spent $millions on developing a pen that would work in no-gravity space.
"What was the Russian solution?" he would ask. "Well, vee use pen-cil" was his reply- followed by side-splitting laughter.-
"vee use pen-cil"
No, "vee use ?????? pen-cil" ("??????" is for FIJCKING, but Boris is not swear:)
Boris funny man, very. + 420
Is Yakov Smirnoff -- you to know him?
Keep TANG please for emergency.
Everybody to get off ship.
Goodbye.
Re 1969 Moon landing
The technology then might have been relatively primitive, but dont forget that the moon was closer to earth in those days - by about 3 1/2 inches - so they didn't have as far to go.
3 1/2 inches makes a big difference in performance.
Boris is perform with 8 to 12 inches. Poor William is making girls to have snickers.
LOve the one of Blankfiend in the Mother Teresa outfit - got the mug-shot right & everything!
A definite classic!
You are talking about that sausage that Neil is grilling on the moon!
No gravity, the sausage has its own levitation. What wouldn't we all give to have sausages like that!
A small step for man, a large step for his frankfurter.
There is no air for that smoky grill to burn. I knew man landing on the moon was faked !
ha...
heat exchange / air conditioning in a vacuum... now that was some trick!
Just one more step, and you could be in heaven.

The Moon has gravity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_of_the_Moon
The gravitational field of the Moon has been determined by the tracking of radio signals emitted by orbiting spacecraft. The principle used depends on the Doppler effect, whereby the line-of-sight spacecraft acceleration can be measured by small shifts in frequency of the radio signal, and the measurement of the distance from the spacecraft to a station on Earth. Since the gravitational field of the Moon affects the orbit of a spacecraft, it is possible to use these tracking data to invert for gravity anomalies. However, because of the Moon's synchronous rotation it is not possible to track spacecraft much over the limbs of the Moon, and the far-side gravity field is thus only poorly characterized. The gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Moon is 1.6249 m/s2, about 16.7% that on Earth's surface[1]. Over the entire surface, the gravity variation is about is ~0.0253 m/s2 (1.6% of the gravity acceleration). Because weight is directly dependent upon gravitational acceleration, things on the Moon will weigh only 16.7% of what they weigh on the Earth.

.
The major characteristic of the Moon's gravitational field is the presence of mascons, which are large positive gravity anomalies associated with some of the giant impact basins. These anomalies greatly influence the orbit of spacecraft about the Moon, and an accurate gravitational model is necessary in the planning of both manned and unmanned missions. They were initially discovered by the analysis of Lunar Orbiter tracking data,[2] since navigation tests prior to the Apollo program experienced positioning errors much larger than mission specifications.
The origin of mascons are in part due to the presence of dense mare basaltic lava flows that fill some of the impact basins. However, lava flows by themselves cannot explain the entirety of the gravitational variations, and uplift of the crust-mantle interface is required as well. Based on Lunar Prospector gravitational models, it has been suggested that some mascons exist that do not show evidence for mare basaltic volcanism.[3] The huge expanse of mare basaltic volcanism associated with Oceanus Procellarum does not possess a positive gravity anomaly.
You can't land on something that doesn't exist
Think about it.
Banzai... America hasn't made decent cars in over half a century. They were designed to fail in order to sell more junk later. Only the last 25 years has seen any improvement in quality.
Their own greed was how they lost the market to Japan and Germany in the 70's.
We didn't need a car to last 250,000 miles. Cars were for art, dreaming, flash. Now we have boring, same, central safety Muppet cars that take design and style cues from cockroaches.
Amerika is making better cars than in CCCP. Greed is making better cars than socialist agenda. But Boris is still drive 1979 Mercedes in 2 parts vodka to 9 parts petrol. Ethanol is bull sh¡t. (Is okay Boris say "sh¡t"?)
Are sure that's not 9 parts petrol and one part crankcase oil?
Sure, maybe is part Ethyl Glycol, but Russia is not use crankcase oil, too expensive. Oh, sorry, is drinking Ethyl Glycol, yes, is put crankcase oil in car.
I know, but automobiles are a trade off. How much headache and how much pleasure. I had an early version of the Ford Explorer. The one with the square grill and lots of room inside. I drove it all around Central Europe and Europe. I never had a problem and it eventually lasted almost 200,000 in the hands of the next owner.
I once had an Italian sports car that was constantly in the shop. But I loved driving it upstate. It was worth the headache.

The police now dress like astronauts so people won't recognize them as assholes they are. Degenerate bankster mercinary M'fers.
I went to the Masonic World Headquarters; 13 blocks up the street from the cornerstone of the White House, which is mapped out with the big 666 Penis and the Womb of Isis, and in a glass case they had the picture on display of one of these dickheads on the Moon with their stupid Masonic Apron (Texas Lodge).
...reminds me of what Kennedy said before they murdered him. Looks like they mapped out Dallas too.
Americans are so pathetic, a masonic invocation prophecy in their pocket and not a clue why D.C. looks like an occult boys Egyptian mapped out city of the dead, and they show up to vote in a two party political system. LMAO, no conspiracy.
Why did those assholes name the mission after Apollo, another name for Lucifer? LMAO http://bible.cc/revelation/9-11.htm I mean come on, they did not know? Lol.
The fact is, everything Americans think they know is based on their delusion, and now that this generation has started to wake up to that fact we can expect things to get real stupid real suddenly. Count on it. http://www.shoebat.com/2012/08/21/leaked-explosive-videos-reveal-that-the-syrian-revolution-is-plain-evil/
Freemasons For Dummies: Apollo 11, Freemasons and the Moon - http://bit.ly/Tlmk2O
"Brother Aldrin carried with him SPECIAL DEPUTATION of then Grand Master J. Guy Smith, constituting and appointing Brother Aldrin as Special Deputy of the Grand Master, granting unto him full power in the premises to represent the Grand Master as such and authorize him to claim Masonic Territorial Jurisdiction for The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, on The Moon, and directed that he make due return of his acts. Brother Aldrin certified that the SPECIAL DEPUTATION was carried by him to the Moon on July 20, 1969."
From their mouth.
They claimed the moon for the masons. Sick.
If you believe we went there that is. What a clusterfuck of subterfuge.
On the Wash. DC topic, you need to read this entire site:
Masonic and Kabbalistic Symbols In the Washington D.C. Map - http://bit.ly/P4Xrpb
He debunks all the sensationalistic talk about Wash DC and properly explains it.
Why is Metatron's Cube the main theme in the layout?
Because it's an important "concept":
Sacred Geometry 101E: Metatron's Cube - YouTube - http://youtu.be/ZOqg5bPZ0HE
Metatron's Cube also pops up hidden in the King James bible:
Lets Imagine the Impossible Part 2 - YouTube - http://youtu.be/zUu3OpLxm_Y
Well, here's the deal. This guy Adam Spade found the drawing "in there".
But who put this implied Metatron's Cube (and lots of other stuff) in the bible?
Adam thinks "god" did it. Bzzzzt. Wrong.
Francis Bacon. He had exclusive secret access to the KJV for a year before it was published:
Francis Bacon and the James 1st Bible - http://bit.ly/PcIrnJ
"Sir Francis Bacon (1561 –1626) was a man of many talents, a lawyer, linguist and composer. He mastered every subject he undertook; mathematics, geometry, music, poetry, painting, astronomy,classical drama and poetry, philosophy, history, theology and architecture. He was a man of many aims and purposes, the father of modern science, remodeler of modern law, patron of modern democracy, and possibly the reviver of Freemasonry. His life and works are extensively documented, and his intellectual accomplishments widely recognized, particularly in academic circles. At the age of sixteen, he was sent to Paris ‘direct from the Queens Hand’ and there studied Egyptian, Arabian, Indian and Greek philosophy with particular attention given to the Ancient Mysteries and their Ritual Rites. He personally recorded that, while in Paris, he created a secret cipher system that could be inserted into a document without arousing suspicion.While living in Europe, Francis Bacon was initiated into the mysterious Order of the Knights Templar and learnt a very special secret.Before he returned to London,he travelled to France, Italy, Germany and Spain and at the age of twenty completely devoted himself to the study of law. From his understanding of the secret information he had learned during his initiation into the Knights Templar, he conceived the idea of reactivating various Secret Societies and in 1580 founded the secret Rosicrosse Literary Society in Gray’s Inn. Later in the same year,he founded the Lodge of Free and Accepted or Speculative Masons, also at Gray’s Inn.
On 25 June 1607 Sir Francis Bacon was appointed Solicitor-General and Chief Advisor to the Crown. He had presented new ideas to the Government for the Reformation of the church and was officially instructed to commence restructuring the Bible. Research in the Records Office of the British Museum revealed that original documents still exist which refer to important proceedings associated with Sir Francis Bacon’s involvement with the editing of both the Old and New Testaments. They revealed that he personally selected and paid the revisers of the New Testament who completed their task under the instructions of Bacon’s long-time friend, Dr Andrews."
Francis Bacon. Member and founder of numerous secret societies.
Read what the "founding fathers" thought of him.
King James and Bacon wanted to remarket christianity to a new audience. He wanted to steal some thunder from the catholics.
Where would they set up their "model" society (the New Atlantis)?
America.
We are still dealing with (and living in) the fallout from this grand "experiment".
KK Tipton, you have some strange timing. http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2012/hackpenhill3/hackpenhill2012c.html
I see the old gate has Lucifer coming through it. Well that ain't a good sign, but it sure is on time.
Man, you just became offically a spooky dude, lol. Fear not, go with our Father in Christ.
Muppetology 101: the bogeyman you fear is always bigger than the cockroach you face, so lie your ass off. The muppets come hither like flies to shit...
I don't know much about secret societies. But the first question is why is their world headquarters in Washington DC and not Hoboken?
Lucifer, an eternal being, where would you be in time?
...what does the host of contempt look like? Measure the host, as it were a man become a Temple and you will unseal the answer in time, with Sirius, the name and number mapped out on Earth.
There are many revelations of why and all point to the same evil.
Here is an interesting link that kinda measures a few things in general. http://www.pidradio.com/2012/08/22/p-i-d-radio-at-the-prophecy-summit-tom-horn/
you lose me on this when you use that one word that is the give away : revelation.
Many revelations are like many ejaculations; all very relative and all very ephemeral!
Falak Pema, what the hell are you talking about dipshit? Does your dumb dusty ass really think the pyramids in Egypt and all over the planet, AND ON THE DOLLAR BILL, ...they are not ''concrete and written revelations'' you can map out with some dickhead like you ...with a masonic apron on the Moon?
...secret oaths and hieroglyphs are no revelation of idiot evil scumbags? Are you an ignorant moron? Go look up Benjamin Banneker, you know, the black man who helped finnish the layout of D.C., the guy Jefferson said in a letter he was his humble servant, meaning Jefferson was humble. After you learn something maybe you should take a look at the Dogon Tribe. Then come back and say something stupid again dipshit.
Relative? They all say the same thing, you are a moron. LMAO. Dog Star, lol, you are barking at the mirror boy, get a clue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl9iO4Bz9kY
...and all very personal.
I grew up in a town where folks believed the moon landing was a fake but pro-wrestlin' was real.
Wrestling is not real?
you mean "free style"; the type where we know the result beforehand...?
The media loves to lay that on thick and strong!
Reminds me of that iconic film about the tinsel town : The player.
The punch line : to sell a movie you need one vital ingredient in Hollywood : a happy end!
Now we know the magic formula, "revealed" to the illuminati that run the greatest show on Earth. All members of the revelatory tribe. Your dollars to see the american dream and happy end; our profits. Win-win all the way.
Thats Bruce Willis, Terminator, Rocky, Rambo, Heinz Ketchup, Coca Cola and Mcdo burger for you and its still a universal blockbuster!
Who needs truth, reality or art after that!
The Player (1992) - IMDb
Tag Team Match: Muppets vs. PTB and TBTF, represented by Macho Man Bernanke and Sweet Daddy Dimon. Obama / Romney / US Administration / SEC / FSA as as the useless referee turning blind eye to illegal tactics of PTB / TBTF. Draghi is blow-hard promoter (Slick? Jimmy Hart?). Merkel not hot enought to be Queen Elizabeth... Chyna?
Boris is wrestle in bar for free drinks. Is real!
Is good to hear from wild and krazy komrad such as yourselves. NASCARdrovia!
Wresting is NOT real but 'rasslin is. Wooooooooo!!!!!!
Like the dickhead pig pepper spraying America.
Team Dickhead.
Now they shoot 10 innocent people while plugging a nut with 9 rounds, when peppper spraying chics isn't enough.
Dating painful when young, but Boris is build up, how do you say, intolerance to pepper spray. But Russian pepper spray is not so strong.
Boris: Please post on ZH every day!!!
You are the coolest!
Boris is 10x better than the Huff Po Obama lovers who post here daily.
"Obama lovers" post here daily? Where? Obama lovers seem to be pretty scarce around here. Or are you suggesting that just because someone doesn't love Romney, he's an "Obama lover"?
Boris is loving President Barry. Is make Putin have hairy man chest! Russia is alpha gonads!
