“The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble.”

“If the Government or NASA had said to you that the Earth is stationary, imagine that. And then imagine we are trying to convince people that ‘no, no it’s not stationary, it’s moving forward at 32 times rifle bullet speed and spinning at 1,000 miles per hour.’ We would be laughed at! We would have so many people telling us ‘you are crazy, the Earth is not moving!’ We would be ridiculed for having no scientific backing for this convoluted moving Earth theory. And not only that but then people would say, ‘oh then how do you explain a fixed, calm atmosphere and the Sun’s observable movement, how do you explain that?’ Imagine saying to people, ‘no, no, the atmosphere is moving also but is somehow magically velcroed to the moving-Earth. The reason is not simply because the Earth is stationary.’ So what we are actually doing is what makes sense. We are saying that the moving-Earth theory is nonsense. The stationary-Earth theory makes sense and we are being ridiculed. You’ve got to picture it being the other way around to realize just how RIDICULOUS this situation is. This theory from the Government and NASA that the Earth is rotating and orbiting and leaning over and wobbling is absolute nonsense and yet people are clinging to it, tightly, like a teddy bear. They just can’t bring themselves to face the possibility that the Earth is stationary though ALL the evidence shows it: we feel no movement, the atmosphere hasn’t been blown away, we see the Sun move from East-to-West, everything can be explained by a motionless Earth without bringing in all these assumptions to cover up previous assumptions gone bad.”

“We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief. Those challenges are yours — in many fields, not the least of which is space, because there lies human destiny”
Neil Alden Armstrong
“It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three … each rocket ship would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost ¼ mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons.”

“The vast majority of “anarchists” are in reality not anarchists at all, but – as soon as they are confronted with a “scientific authority” – suddenly become infantile, blue-eyed children who want to be told a story so they can put on their rose-colored glasses and continue dreaming. I can easily imagine a podcast by “anarchists” in which both the host and the guest appear in NASA T-shirts – while railing against politicians and power structures, without realizing that modern “science” – i.e., the modern priestly class – is a crucial element of power and thus of their own enslavement. Because most of the solid walls of the matrix consist of so-called “scientific dogmas, postulates, narratives, axioms, models, paradigms, fantasy constructs, theories, constructs, system laws, guiding principles, consensus formulas, imperial formulas and inviolable concepts.” Anything to which the word “science” is simply tacked on – such as political science, aerospace science, media studies, economics, social science, or law – is in reality nothing more than normative science. It has nothing to do with genuine science in its original, open-ended sense, but is instead an ideological apparatus – a close relative of propaganda and religion. This is unquestioned scientific loyalty in rebellious disguise!”

“History is created, manipulated and written by those who are predominantly on the Victorious side of the nation which has supreme political, and especially military, dominance. Any ‘truth’ which has the slightest potential of weakening their total hold over the masses is not tolerated. Any truth which can impact their power is squelched or cunningly hidden by them, usually in a manufactured media release to the unsuspecting public, often in a jovial manner to render the information a laughing matter and display it as harmless.”
Clark C. McClelland
“The International Space Station is an orbital turkey….No important science has come out of it. I could almost say no science has come out of it. And I would go beyond that and say that the whole manned spaceflight program, which is so enormously expensive, has produced nothing of scientific value.”
Steven Weinberg
“All government agencies lie part of the time, but NASA is the only one I’ve ever encountered that does so routinely.”
