People please go look at the dodgy CGI graphics. If your mind tells you that that is the way a lunar module looks when taking off (like a B grade hollywood production) then you my friend have been indoctronated to a point where fantasy trying to imitate reality has actually become reality. All fake. There is no photo of earth. On apollo 17 they supposedly took a whole bunch. Of a perfectly round earth...but wait. We are on an oblate shperoid? And more recently we have found out we are on a pear shaped oblate spheriod? According to todays most foremost bullshit artist on the universe. Neil Degrasse Tyson. Makes you wonder about the automatic earth shape corrective lenses they must have had on their cameras. And why?
There is no real picture of earth. If you guys find one send it. Im betting it will be some image from the Galileo satelite, or from the apollo missions or from the space station. If those are the ones anyone is going to put forth then so be it. I will show you why every singlo one of them is fake.
We didnt go to the moon. And Nasa lost all the original documentation and data of the supposed greatest achievement in mankinds history when american courts ordered NASA to hand over their data.
Sound plausible?
If so i can do nothing for you people. You want to believe something, then fine. We are all allowed to have our dreams. But then dont taut your views as if you have proof of them. Let those moon missions expand your imagination of what it could be like. Because we havent gone there. Just out of interest.

Oh and another bombshell. It is flat. Que the science i know all too well and Ill explain it away for you:

Yeah sure. And then they lost all the data and recordings. Come now man. Let's put our thinking caps on. They lost 800 boxes worth of data on man's most important achievement? After Nasa fought a freedom of information request by the public to have the data kept hidden. Then they get ordered by the US supreme Court to hand over the documents as the public have the right to the project they funded. Then NASA said they lost the footage! Really? Come now people. You don't have to be a tinfoil wearing idiot to see a lie.

And Seumas. You don't know me. You don't know the capability of my mind. I investigated the moon landings and all space travel at length. It's filled with holes. Your education is programming friend. Please tell me you don't believe propoganda is just a word used in reference to the past because then you're just naive. Enjoy paying billions to nasa for fake pictures and rotating earth footage that shows no change in cloud formations over a 24 hour spin around its own axis. Yeah you keep your education mate. Didnt teach you much about logic and thinking for yourself. They just taught you which answers to give in tests if you want to move on to the next one.

And just a simple point that I shouldn't have to make. Talking to someone who tells you what they have done without being under oath doesn't count as proof. Also. Why is the earth's size in their videos wrong? Why is it virtually the same size from the supposed moon they landed on as the moon is from earth? How did they get past the van Allen belts without even having discovered them at the time of the lunar landings? The astronauts wore no protective gear against a threat they didn't know about. The severity of the radiation they would have experienced would have started affecting them during their trip if they were even lucky enough to survive it. So seems Jim lied to your face man.

can't wait for caek's response to these allegations

i like the "why didn't russia say it was a hoax, since they clearly could have picked up the radio signals coming back?" argument

extraordinary claims require not running your mouth off like a damn fool

lol yeah saw that, looks bananas

boy ain't that some timing.

"deorbit" https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/deorbit

So would "its five-year mission" be an appropriate phrase?

yes but it now has another mission: 37 orbits of jupiter, ~2 weeks each, so still a couple of years until it gets deorbited into jupiter (to avoid contaminating any of the moons)

the orbits are v elliptical because jupiter has a crazy radiation field that would fry the electronics

sounds like they're hiding something there

thought jupiter was trump there for a sec

will the heat affect yr viewing of the meteor shower?

no but the clouds and the demon drink will

hey caek did u recently recommend a series of books of historical maps?

yes these ones

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&text=Colin+McEvedy&search-alias=books&field-author=Colin+McEvedy&sort=relevancerank

i've read medieval, ancient, and modern. currently reading american history to 1870 which is great (although i suspect some of the pre-columbian speculation is a little outdated). recent is next.

they are extremely accessible, quick reads. i'm not an expert but they seem like tour de force concise syntheses of huge subjects too.

also engaging wit throughout and occasionally laugh out loud e.g.

this is a good twitter account to bring civility to your twitter a few times a day btw

how is ancient for maps of roman empire?

xp needs some poles imo

anyway i ordered the ancient one so i hope it's good for that xp to myself

the conceit of the entire series is that each spread has a page of text and a map, and that map is the same area of earth on every page. iirc the ancient world one covers all of europe, quite a lot of north africa, and asia to present day northern india. so it's not super high resolution. and each page covers decades, so the temporal resolution isn't high either. the odd battle gets described (and in a couple of cases gets an inset map) but this is more "broad sweep of history" stuff. obviously greece and rome dominate the ancient world.

the medieval book starts with the conversion of constantine, so you're going to want that one too if you're interested in rome in particular. but medieval is great regardless: along with the american one it's the best/most interesting of the series to me.

you can get them used on amazon for $5ish btw

ok u sold me i got like 5 of them

ancient, medieval, modern, america, africa

lmao. recent is the only one you're missing. i don't have africa. it's a different shape book so i'm not sure if it's the same premise, but i'm sure it's great.

those look good, i impulse ordered ancient and medieval.

worst case they are good http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shiterature

love historical atlases. i have the ancient history one in this series which gets my seal of approval, backed by the formidable authority of my related ba and ma from a long time ago.

btw this my bløg https://pinboard.in/u:mike

i'm gonna bookmark that and drink your milkshake by beating you to posting cool articles to ilx ;-)

jks aside thx for the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Without All The Bullshit, was just trying to read about this the other day and getting nowhere

dope you guys thx

xp it's good, right?! i am cowriting a report at work about probabilistic programming and that was one of the more useful pieces of background. we'll be publishing an annotated reading list for the whole "bayesian inference + sampling algorithms + compiler design" thing later this year. will link here if i remember (remind me if i don't, it will be primo PDFs)

lol at this

People react to problems of this sort in different ways. Some build to large safety factors, searching around for extra material to shore up their walls. Others respond more neurotically, erecting many-storyeyed, extremely perilous structures, decked out with advertisements in a special archaeologist-speak that goes like this:

Major new civilization: a particularly disappointing dig
History will have to be rewritten: confirms an existing footnote in the standard work on the subject
A great city: a few hovels, maybe a village
The Venice of its day: any site that has produced a few articles from somewhere else
Earliest known: undated

Great stuff, these atlases. I have to limit myself to the ones I have because otherwise that's a whole other bookshelf taken up.

ha yeah he is particularly salty in the ancient one.

xp needs some poles imo
