The drop bear, Thylarctos plummetus, is indeed a problem. But I can guarantee you that all tourists who spread vegemite behind their ears will be 100% safe from drop bear attacks.
Well, you obviously have a radically different sense of humour to me (and place a different value on paragraph structure). If you have the time I would be interested to learn what you found amusing about the post.Hi Ophiolite that’s very ennoble of you that you look apon Radagast with such high regard as a gentlemen. And than to come to his aid because you feel he was being mocked as well, which was never the case. You say that both you and I know that the post wasn’t funny. Really. Ophiolite your not me. And you don’t know what I found funny about the post. No I won’t be removing my funny award any time soon because mocking in a vandictive way was never my intent. And if people get kicked off the site for posting funny’s. Well so be it.
Belief is irrelevant in science. What counts are observations, hypotheses and tests. Facts, not fancy. The moon landings happened. Feel free to live in a duller world where they didn't and where facts don't count.As to the rocket blast you mentioned blowing up dust but also blowing it away. Yes I did consider that. That’s why I never mentioned a crater beneath the Luna module for that very reason. But many do believe strongly that there should have been a crater there as well. My issue was always the amount of dust lacking on the pads of the Luna module. You say because the rocket blew it away. That fine I simply disagree. Now I must be back to work.
Ophiolite you think I have a radically different sense of humour. My sense of humour is just fine. And no I won’t be addressing what I found funny about Radagasts post. Because the funny sticker was not addressed to you. Sorry to hear that your world would be a rather dull place without the moon landings.Well, you obviously have a radically different sense of humour to me (and place a different value on paragraph structure).

1. Do you have reading comprehension difficulties? I did not say that a radically different sense of humour was not fine, just that is seemed radically different. Those are quite different things.Ophiolite you think I have a radically different sense of humour. My sense of humour is just fine.

1 do I have reading comprehension difficulties. No 2 I placed a funny sticker on another members post: Not yours but publicly yes. Ophiolite there are a awful lot of funny’s on peoples posts including some on mine . I never really thought of it that way. But since you believe they all do belong to you, than please do question everyone’s funny on the site and not just mine. 3 You mention reading comprehension once more. You said ( the moon landings happened. Feel free to live in a duller world where they didn’t and the facts don’t count. ) In my reply I said ( rather dull ) And you said duller. Is there really much difference you think. 4 As to the way one absorbs information that we all must do. To the peculiar notions you think I hold.. Ophiolite I simply look at things like temperatures. Your dealing with temperatures of over 250 on the moon. Water boils at around a hundred. I just don’t see how those water cooling systems that the astronauts had would have made any difference. They would have been fried or boiled alive. The minus temperature at night does not look much more inviting either. Then you have radiation along with the vacuum of deep space. They did experiments with a vacuum chamber here on earth . Within in a matter of a minutes the person nearly died . And the very reason they stopped experimenting with humans under such conditions. So there are genuine reasons why people don’t believe that we went to the moon including myself. 5 Yes we do all make mistakes. I’m not sure how many mistakes you do. But you live long time so far so you must have fixed really quick. Wishing you a nice day.1. Do you have reading comprehension difficulties?

2. You placed the "funny sticker" publicly, visible to all members and lurkers. As such it was addressed to me.
3. Reading comprehension again: I suggested the world would be a duller place without the moon landings, not that it would be a dull place.
4. I highlight the issues of reading comprehension not to provoke you, not to be a pedantic nitpicker, but to suggest if these are symptomatic of the precision with which you absorb information it could account for the peculiar notions you hold regarding the moon landings. Perhaps you could reflect on that, though I doubt you will.
5. If you feel my posts to you are patronising you may be right. When one has made as many mistakes as I have it difficult not to recognise them in others. I'm sure you can rise above any feeling of being slighted.
Well, I shall take that as a serious reply. If you genuinely believe there is not "much difference" between the two then really further discussion would be pointless. I limit my forum communications to English. Thank you for your time. (Do tune in for the next moon landing in October 2026. We've already started filming.)3 You mention reading comprehension once more. You said ( the moon landings happened.

I read some time ago an "explanation" of why the Russians kept quite. I don't recall the details, but - as you might imagine - it was unlikely conspiracy, piled on top of unfounded speculation, making a Dan Brown novel look like a scholarly study by a top historian.You would think the Russians would be the first to scream the moon landing was a fake given they lost the race.
Perhaps the Russians had something the armchair conspiracy theorists didn't possess; the ability of tracking the Apollo missions themselves and finding the lunar module(s) didn't end up in some Hollywood studio.
It's much the same case the Americans didn't scream conspiracy when Sputnik 1 was launched.

The KGB officer had just returned from Africa, and he had brought a small telescope. So we looked through the telescope, but we didn’t see any moon landing! So it was still questionable to us! (laughs).
Those Russians have always boasted their Maksutov telescopes are superior to any decadent Western designed system.The KGB officer had just returned from Africa, and he had brought a small telescope.

1. The moon has no air, so there's no air temperature.
2. The surface temperature is about 120 degrees Celsius (250 Fahrenheit). Thick boots are enough. They had thick boots.
3. The sunlight is extremely hot, but insulation, cooling, and a reflective white outer layer handle that.
4. The spacesuits were also resistant to vacuum.
I am not saying that anyone is a Flat Earth advocate here, but one thing I have noticed about them is that they do not seem to be able to do any math at all.
Since we are talking about Lunar Landing deniers here is a link to one of my favorites. Makes sure that anti-facepalming protocols are observed. This is a high risk of concussion site:And that says something about the state of STEM education.
