It’s just so easily falsified, you really have to be mentally ill or trolling not to accept what was obvious even to the ancients about our planet.

Another obvious falsification is the earth’s shadow on the moon. Why is it always a perfect circle? Why aren’t we getting weird oblong projections?

Reminds me of a meme I saw. Something to the effect of expecting flying cars by now when a kid but instead having to rage “THE EARTH IS ROUND” at morons.

I'd highly recommend Ben Rich's book on Skunk Works.

Ordered, as I am fascinated...

[mclaincausey]

Same found a used hardcover. I have a PDF of Sled Driver but would love a hard cover of that. It would be a fun coffee table book.

[Giles]

Yeah, I want Sled Driver too.....

Hard cover £377

[Mister_Brue]

@Giles Ouch.

[Giles]

Or, ever £1,200 plus

You guys are missing one important element in this discussion. @Matt lived in New Mexico for a period of time - Fact. Aliens love New Mexico - Fact. Aliens love to perform experiments on humans - Fact.

Matt saw a reason to leave New Mexico - Fact.

I’ll let you guys come up with your own conclusions.

Yeah, the crocs are actually alien feet. Clever bastard.

But ... what if the moon does not exist?

[NickD]

What if none of this exists and is all just a figment of my imagination, all of you included?

[goosehd]

@NickD If it is, we need to have a serious talk…also, can you make everyone filthy rich so no one has to work anymore?

[RobeOfTheMagi]

But maybe NickD dreams us but has no agency on how we act.

[mclaincausey]

@RobeOfTheMagi speaking of Buzz, I’ll always appreciate that he blasted a conspiracy theorist in the face.

[NickD]

@RobeOfTheMagi it would explain why I'm not filthy rich too.

@pechelman

Y’all should listen to this podcast about Lockheed. It is lengthy and from the perspective of VC guys but gets into a lot of the history of the skunk works. I am sure they sourced Rich’s book.

Even if a child performs it, it can still be a bad song.

[steelworker]

Crotch blowouts mean bad fit.
Noone wants to see your junk limned by indigo

[seawolf]

@steelworker I think we might need to define "crotch blowout." I've always thought it was from the thighs rubbing together near the crotch seam. It sounds like you're describing something else entirely

[steelworker]

I get the biker blowouts. If you're painting your jeans on thats the problem. In my not at all humble opinion.

[NickD]

@seawolf Especially if a child performs it.

@seawolf what about "negative space", I heard that in a video of some young bucks selling some really worn vintage jumpers being like "the jumper has some really cool negatives spaces"
