@TakeThatClouds @Rod__Mason I think it’s engagement trolling. Same with flat earthers. Either that or they are pandering to people as stupid as they are.

@Rod__Mason It wasn’t “that contraption”, it was this contraption. What is with all the Apollo idiots today? Is it really that profitable to make a prat of yourself in public nowadays?

Can you believe that this contraption landed men on the moon, back in 1969?

@wiLdLife710 @AreOhEssEyeEe Agreed 100%. One thing about the moon hoax theory is that the US had a clear motive to fake it. Flat earth? Not so much.

@JasonGoertz @AreOhEssEyeEe I understant the moon hoaxers some more than the flat earth retards. But none of them seem to know about multiple other countries confirming our landing spots with imagery when orbiting the moon. There is proof that gets ignored.

Anyone else suspicious of a moon mission on April 1st? I guess I have trust issues since they didn't go the first time.

@JasonGoertz @AreOhEssEyeEe That doesn't match it trajectory.

@PCanadian88569 @AreOhEssEyeEe The moon’s orbit is tilted with respect to the equator, which is why we don’t have eclipses all the time. I would suppose that diagram is simplified.

@JasonGoertz @AreOhEssEyeEe Thanks,,,I needed a good laugh.....1,000 km to 60,000 km above the surface on an angle.....makes a lot of nonsense.

@AreOhEssEyeEe It is funny they launched it today. It was delayed from a few months ago. There is only a few days a month they can launch.

@PCanadian88569 @AreOhEssEyeEe They went through it at an angle, hitting the weakest part, and was only exposed for a few minutes. They wore dosimeters. There are numerous youtube videos explaining this and other moon hoaxers arguments.

@AreOhEssEyeEe No mention of the Van Allen radiation belt....did it disappear, was it a hoax or are they faking it again. Why did Space X most powerful rocket never go further than the ISS.....Seems odd that NASA dismisses reality.

@Red_Pill_US We don’t have the manufacturing companies, tooling, and people to recreate Apollo. Why would we, we stopped using that machinery 54 years ago. We DO have all that to build a modern version of it, called Artemis. It launched today.

They told us for decades: "Sorry folks, we lost the technology to go back to the Moon. It's just gone."🚀 Now on APRIL FOOL'S DAY they're suddenly taking astronauts back? Maybe now they can go pick up the astronaut who was left behind to film the lunar module lifting off. Or was that just NASA flexing in 1972 with their fancy self-turning tripod that magically panned to show the whole scene?

Because this is reality and not a hoax, you don’t just land on the Moon on the very first flight with new equipment. So, just like the last time we went and eventually landed, NASA build up to it. Artemis I = uncrewed test (Just like Apollo 4 and Apollo 6) Test the rocket. Test reentry. Prove the system works. Artemis II = crewed lunar flight (Just like Apollo 8) First crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit. Navigate to the Moon. Enter lunar orbit. Operate in deep space. Return safely at lunar reentry speeds. This isn’t new. It’s how you don’t kill astronauts.

@goraiders32 Holy crap. Is this just some engagement bait? Do a little research on how this misdion works.

If a rocket needs a launch pad and perfect conditions to launch from earth, what does it need to launch from the moon?

@TheCinesthetic Sarah Connor Chronicles.

The cancellation of which TV show are you still frustrated about?

@Helloimmorgan @EddiebroRon And two of those were lunar orbital tests with no landing. Apollo 8 and 10.

@EddiebroRon How may tests did they do before sending Neil Armstrong

Why are they just going around the moon and not stepping on it…

@WallStreetApes @Timcast Correction: New tax is statewide, not just Seattle.

This is insane Seattle downtown office space is 35.6% vacant. Democrats have wiped out businesses Glenn Beck “Seattle is insane and it's full of insane people. Nearly one-third of the office space is empty, 35% at the core. More than a quarter of all of the office space all across the city is vacant Entire buildings are dark at noon. Elevators that carried thousands of engineers and lawyers and designers and now move janitors and security guards through hollow floors where the lights never come on. This is policy that is doing this and the response from the city leadership shows something that is far more than incompetence. It is intentional destruction.” “They just passed a new tax in Seattle. You make over a million dollars. You get an extra 9.9% extra tax. They don't have any understanding of how an economy works”

@courtneyknill How are you cooking them? Most people overcook hb eggs. Cover with water. Bring to boil. Turn heat off. Let sit 10 minutes. Cool in ice bath, or as an alternative, run cold tap water over eggs in saucepan until there is no steam, fill, dump lots of ice. Let sit.

I’d like you all to know that I choked down hard boiled eggs before the gym so I’d have the protein and it sucked

Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever spoken to? Not “seen from far away” — actually talked to, even for a minute. A quick hello, a handshake, a normal conversation… and you still remember it. Who was it?

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science... The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

@RealJamesWoods What bothers me is these people are my age. Everyone I know from High School know these people are stupid. Who are these people?

I was so inspired by this mass protest in West Hollywood, I decided to make some custom #NoKingsNitwits playing cards. If you have more chucklehead pics from your neighborhood, let’s see ‘em!

Kevin O’Leary worked directly for Steve Jobs. Sat across from him. Watched the process at point-blank range. Then told you there is only one person on Earth who exceeded him. O’Leary: “The only other person that I’ve seen that has a higher ratio than that is Elon Musk. He has no noise. He is 100% signal.” Jobs ran 80/20. Eighty percent signal. Twenty percent noise. That ratio built the most valuable consumer brand in history. Changed phones. Changed music. Changed computing. Eighty percent was enough to reshape entire industries. Musk runs at 100. Not low noise. Zero. Every waking second aimed at the objective. No detour. No drift. No performance. O’Leary has sat across from thousands of founders. The most driven people on the planet. He found one who operates at that frequency. One. But the comparison does not flatter Jobs the way you think it does. O’Leary: “Not a nice guy. Not a nice guy.” Jobs would walk into a room and make every voice in it irrelevant before he opened his mouth. O’Leary: “I don’t give a shit what the students want or the parents think or anybody thinks. It’s what I want. They don’t know what they want till I tell them what they want.” When O’Leary pushed back, Jobs had one response. O’Leary: “Then fucking shut up and do what I say.” Total control. My vision. Your obedience. It worked. Nobody alive disputes that. But it worked inside a ceiling. Consumer electronics. Software. Design. One company. One product line at a time. Musk operates at 100% signal across six companies in six different industries simultaneously. Jobs demanded obedience to his taste. Musk demands obedience to physics. Jobs told the room what to think. Musk listens to the engineer closest to the problem, because that person holds the variable that changes the equation. He does not walk in and silence the room. He walks in and interrogates it. A blown prototype at SpaceX is not failure. It is data. A missed deadline is not a lack of effort. It is proof the timeline was aggressive enough to force invention. Jobs demanded control and got beautiful products. Musk demands exploration and gets rockets that land themselves, cars that drive themselves, and chips that think for themselves. The difference is not temperament. It is scale. Jobs changed how people use technology. Musk is changing whether the species survives. Most people have not caught up to what that sentence means. AI is rewriting every industry on the planet. Truth itself is becoming negotiable. This is the window. Wrong hands at the controls and open society does not recover. Musk bought a platform and turned it into a public square. He is building the AI. The energy. The rockets. The satellites connecting the planet. The robots that will reshape labor. The media calls him reckless. Dangerous. Uncontrollable. They are right about one of those. He is uncontrollable. By them. He does not answer to editorial boards. Does not answer to regulators who want to slow the future to a pace they can manage. Does not answer to competitors who would rather he stopped building so they could catch up. He answers to physics. To timelines. To the math of a species that does not get a second attempt. The rarest combination on Earth is not intelligence and drive. It is intelligence, drive, and the willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. Jobs built a company people loved. Musk is building the floor beneath a civilization that has not noticed the ground is shifting. 100% signal. Zero noise. History is not going to produce this combination twice. It was not supposed to produce it once.

🚨 Matt Damon and Ben Affleck once wrote a completely absurd scene into Good Will Hunting (1997), just to test if studios were actually reading their script, and that strange decision ended up changing everything. Damon had first started the story at Harvard as a simple one act play, but it grew into a full screenplay when Affleck joined him, and the two spent five years developing it, sending it to multiple studios with little response, until they added a random scene on page-60 involving two male professors that had nothing to do with the plot, and no one ever mentioned it during meetings, proving most had not even read the script, until Miramax immediately questioned that exact scene, which convinced them they had finally found the right studio. On the first day of shooting, Damon and Affleck stood quietly on set as Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgard performed a scene they had written years earlier, and after everything they had gone through, both of them broke down in tears watching it come to life, as the film went on to become a critical success and earned them the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, with Affleck at 25 becoming the youngest winner and Damon at 27 the second youngest.
