    "Will Peggy finally reveal herself?"

    WTF's 'Peggy', [​IMG] and why should we care?

    "Scientists . . . know it exists but cannot quite see." Which roughly translated means they think it exists even though they can't actually see it, 'but give us another 10 years and lots of taxpayers' dollars oops, we mean 'government research funding' then we might come up with the definitive answer. And if we don't, then hey, give us another 10 years - we will eventually, promise!' But stay, what's this I read. . .

    "The moonlet is named after London researcher Carl Murray's mother-in-law" It's a . . . wait for it . . . a moonlet - now why didn't I guess that? And it's named after some bloke's mother-in-law too.

    Gimme a break!! Is there's nothing gullible disciples of NASA won't believe? :roll: 'moonlet' - if the mother-in-law's name is Ada it'll be Moonlet Ada? [​IMG]

    It is fortunate that most people have significantly more imagination and curiosity than you seem to, otherwise human knowledge would have remained stagnant and we would never even have created the wheel.

    I thought you'd say something like that, but you must surely recognise how condescending it all is? I have to agree with you, though, that I do think too much. Don't let them fool you, Tecoyah, be of an independent mind tout comme moi. :cool:

    No, you just parrot everything they say. Ah well, I'm long enough in the tooth to know I can't open a closed mind.

    There is a certain type of Englishman who likes to look out at the world from their window, terrified at what they might see, cynical and repressed they have a disdain for the world, We call them curtain twitcher's, if you can imagine a world view peeped from around a curtain, That is who you are dealing with. The wonders of space mean nothing to them, but a new car in the drive of number 37 will drive them insane with curiosity of how number 37 can afford it!.

    English was the first language spoken on another world which gives us permanent bragging rights..:)

    PS- Hey mate I see you're welsh; if it hadn't been for us english conquering and civilising you and teaching you to speak english, you'd still be grunting at each other like neanderthals..:)

    Yes, and call me a conspiracy theorist (you'd better not! [​IMG] [​IMG] ) but it sounded very rehearsed to me.

    As a spiritually advanced "holy man", the atoms-and-molecule material universe bores me out of my skull, it's all just useless debris left over after the Big Bang and it makes me laugh the way scientists such as Carl "billions upon billions" Sagan make fools of themselves gushing about its "wonders"!
    In a Star Trek TNG episode, the Traveller offers to take Wesley Crusher on a grand tour of the universe, and Crusher is all for it, but I'd have said "Thanks but no thanks mate, I'd just be bored"..:)

    Yes, there are lots of funny things about the Apollo landing that scream out "fake", but the bottom line is that I just can't believe that Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were liars, so I think the landing really did take place..:)

    I reckon it's one big lie, JB; and you know from my sig The bigger the lie, the more there are who'll buy into it. Those you mention were probably bored and they were well paid for being a part of it. Wouldn't you? I know I would!

    Think all you want. An opinion not based on facts is worthless.

    And yet you believe the 'scientists' even though they deploy speculation rather than facts? Do you not see an inconsistency there? [​IMG]
