  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Another look at the moon landing.

Say anyway, you never know.
OK, I'll try. Here is what a NASA site says about the symbol:

"The round red, white and blue insignia, nicknamed the “meatball,” was designed by employee James Modarelli in 1959, NASA’s second year. The design incorporates references to different aspects of the mission of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The round shape of the insignia represents a planet. The stars represent space. The red v-shaped wing represents aeronautics. The circular orbit around the agency’s name represents space travel."

That seems to match pretty well with what Encyclopaedia Britannica, Wikipedia and the BBC site I quote before say.

What or where is this on their logo ?
It's the shape of the whole logo, not part of the logo. The quote from the site began: ""The round red, white and blue insignia,"

Thanks for this David, I suppose the red chevron's are well over exaggerated by a snake :)

Not really sure what you mean - sorry! Do you mean that the chevrons need to be exaggerated to make them into a snake's tongue? I am fairly sure you didn't mean that a snake exaggerated the chevrons. :)

IMO - The chevrons have been highly exaggerated by a snake via certain individuals.

A snake exaggerated the chevrons? If you mean the devil, who is also called the serpent and Satan, why would he want to exaggerate something like that? I thought your whole idea about NASA was that it is deceptive. Drawing attention to the devil would take away the deception you say exists. I am sure most people wouldn't even think about a snake's tongue when looking at the NASA logo. I have only ever come across such an notion from your posts on this thread.

Yes, I would agree with you there.
Someone has looked at it, thought "that could be a snake's forked tongue" and told everyone else that that WAS the case.

It's a conspiracy theory - "NASA's logo has a snake's tongue on it; a snake can be poisonous or dangerous and in the Bible it is an analogy for the devil. Therefore, NASA is dangerous, evil and can't be trusted."

I think she might mean that the red chevrons on NASA's logo have been likened to the forked tongue of a snake. And some have produced pictures which show that.

Thanks. That would certainly make more sense than the idea that a snake did the design.

Yes, I didn't think you just looked at NASA's symbol one day and thought to yourself, "Ah, that red bit is a serpent's tongue, so that shows how devilish NASA is!"

I still wouldn't trust NASA or believe any of them especially the top dogs.

Sorry, but I doubt very much that you know the top dogs.
And thousands of people work at/for NASA. It would be a bit like me saying "I don't trust the Irish, when I don't know anyone from Ireland."

Right - and do any of those short bios say; "and he is a well-known liar who has successfully conned people into believing the moon landings"?

So you might have some information about what they do, but you don't know them.

They wouldn't would they ? It would be more than their jobs are worth.

No I don't & wouldn't want too.
