Star Light - Star Bright / Chap. 5 p. 35 the windows." 18 And then the last words are from Ghermin Titov, the Russian cosmonaut who had the first long stay in space (17 orbits). "Vostok II plunged with a rush into the inky blackness of the planet's shadow, and as my eyes quickly adapted to the change I stared in wonder at huge stars that glittered like diamonds." 19 This leads inexorably to a final question: why lie <strong>NASA</strong> always claimed that mankind had a universal urge to explore. Indeed the biggest reason for its existence was to advance science. The astronauts eventually came to consider themselves "scientists". Since science is the advancement of knowledge so that myth and false beliefs may be dispelled, why lie Professional astronomers have assured us that once we got above the Earth's atmosphere the view would be incredible. We would leave behind the moving thermal layers of air which causes those pin-points of light called stars to twinkle. We would also leave behind the reduction of intensity due to pollen, dust, humidity, and the thick layer of air itself. On a clear day we could see forever. In retrospect, it seems that from the first Mercury shot, each and every astronaut has been compromised by the stars. These very same stars were reported as clearly visible by test pilots who flew the high-altitude rocket planes in the 1950's. The final simple question. Why didn't the astronauts record on film a new scientific truth that the stars are not brilliant out in space They had Hasselblad cameras, the finest in the world at the time. They had high-speed film, and, simply by opening the lens stop and slowing down the exposure they could have proved the truth of their words. Wouldn't that have been more scientific than randomly collecting a bunch of dusty rocks But that would have given away the hoax. I repeat, it would have been impossible to fool the amateur astronomers. 1. p. 319, FOR ALL MANKIND, "Hurt", 1988, Atlantic Monthly Press 2. p. 108, Ibid. 3. p. 173, Ibid. 4. p. 222, CARRYING THE FIRE, "Collins", 1974, Ballentine Books 5. p. 231, Ibid. 6. p. 233, Ibid. 7. p. 373, Ibid. 8. p. 128, FOR ALL MANKIND, "Hurt", 1988, Atlantic Monthly Press 9. p. 409, "CARRYING THE FIRE, "Collins", 1974, Ballantine Books 10. p. 383, Ibid. 11. p. 100, LIFTOFF, "Collins", 1988, Grove Press 12. p. 266, Ibid. 13. p. 116, FOR ALL MANKIND, "Hurt", 1988, Atlantic Monthly Press 14. p. 78, Ibid. 15. p. 227, Ibid. 16. p. 77, Ibid. 17. p. 150, MEN FROM EARTH, "Aldrin & McConnell", 1989, Bantam 18. p. 4, SURVIVAL IN SPACE, "Gagarin & Lebedev", 1969, Frederick A.

Star Light - Star Bright / Chap. 5 p. 36 STARLIGHT SCOPE ADDENDUM I made this instrument to prove the astro-nots lied about the stars. The body is a twofoot long, three-inch diameter cardboard tube, through which I drilled a 1/4-inch hole exactly across the middle. The eyepiece is a two inch length cut from a toilet paper tube, and I glued it concentric to the drill hole. The tubes are painted flat black inside and out. During the day, with the Sun streaming down the tube, I can see a black object miles away. At night, with a bright flashlight shining up the tube, I can see any star I look at. Photons at right angles to our line of sight simply do not interfere with our vision. Even morons know that if they shield their faces from the Sun they can see objects very close to it. Don't you find it strange that not one of these men (with The Right Stuff) knew how to do this Stranger still is the fact that when they complained about this to <strong>NASA</strong> not one of the <strong>NASA</strong> people knew how to do this! <strong>NASA</strong> MOONED AMERICA! / <strong>Rene</strong>
