  • 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.

That because it is.
The tribe of Dan does not have an emblem. There is no mention of it at all in Genesis.
In true conspiracy theorist fashion you have found a verse which mentions "serpent", have concluded, or been told, that part of NASA's logo could look like a serpent's tongue and concocted - or swallowed - a theory.

Conspiracy theorists' maths: 1+1 = 11. Or even 101.

Considering that all documentation of what linage and tribe the people belonged to was obliterated with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Yes, that's true.

I read a book about a Jew whose daughter became a Christian - accepted that Jesus was the Messiah. This father studied the Scriptures, and his history, to find evidence that would prove that his daughter was wrong.
He wrote in his book that all the Jewish genealogies were destroyed in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed - which meant that the Messiah must have come before 70 AD. He also accepted that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah.

We know this - What we don't know, were all the Jewish genealogies destroyed in 70 AD ?

And your reply was "we know this".
So why the question?

Back on track -

Here you can quite clearly see a guy in the background manipulating the space ship.

You can clearly see shuttle commander Richard Truly's face reflected in the shuttle window. You see he is the only one wearing glasses, and the face that appears is wearing glasses, and lo and behold they are filming through the window looking back into the cargo bay where the satellite was deployed.

The people who come up with these videos are truly retarded.

The red chevrons represent the snakes fangs as such;

View attachment 371732
The red chevrons could represent all sorts of things. Wikipedia says:

"In the seal, the yellow sphere represents a planet, the stars represent space, the red chevron is a wing representing aeronautics (the latest design in hypersonic wings at the time the logo was developed), and the white arc represents the path of an orbiting spacecraft."

A site called Hatchwise says:

"The logo, which circulated until 1975 and was brought back again in 1992, showcased a blue circle, which symbolized the sky, with white stars, and a red V-shaped wave or ribbon. That element was created to represent aeronautics in general."

I have deliberately avoided NASA's own explanation of the symbol.

What thermal images? He is using the footage from NASA. It was recording light in the visible spectrum only.

You think that compiler of the video was able to magically extract infra-red light from the footage simply by using his incantation of "I'm applying the thermal filter now"? That is powerful magic to be able to display part of the light spectrum that was never recorded by the camera in the first place.

I presume what he is using is a false colour filter which is ramping up the contrast then converting the colours to the range used on a thermal camera. His claim that the reflected face of the astronaut would appear in front of the rear of the space shuttle does not take into account the fact that the reflection is out of focus as it is closer to the camera while the more distant rear of the cargo bay is in sharp focus. The strong clear colours of the focused will not be impacted at all by the blurred, dark colours reflected in the glass. They obviously had the cabin lights off while they were filming the cargo bay. Richard Truly's face is only visible when it is superimposed over the black of space.

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.

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,"

Oh, silly me - Thank you.
