It's hard to weed out the truth from the lies. Lies require more to keep them going but the truth is and always will be. "The truth will always come out in the end."

The beginning of this video is fascinating, but I feel like he rushes past all of the really big important points and then loses focus.
The moon is a nonphysical projection of light in the sky. There is no reason to spend nearly 20 minutes blathering on about the angle of shadows in grainy photographs. "The moon" doesn't even exist!
Plus, it's impossible to pass into the vacuum in "space" without popping our atmosphere like a balloon.
Besides, even if humans could reach the "vacuum" of "space", it's impossible to steer a spacecraft without air to push against.
Those wacky "scientists" use their laws of gravity to describe how the atmosphere thins with altitude, and laws of motion to design maneuvering thrusters for spacecraft.
Who is responsible for formalizing the laws of gravity and motion? Sir Isaac Newton!! Occam's razor proves the only logical answer is that Issac Newton is working with NASA and the UN to deceive the American people. I have no doubt that Nostradamus in 1555 sent a letter to Issac Newton in 1686 telling him that he should publish nonsensical laws of motion and gravity, plus design a flawed Newtonian Telescope designed to make the "moon" light-projection look like a planetoid, and then send instructions to FDR in January 1945 explaining that he should instruct NACA (pre-NASA) to begin preparing for a fake moon landing to take place in 1969 because at that time it will be politically expedient. No other explanation fits the facts.

Here's something more to think about.

Where does a 747 put 60,000 gallon of fuel? That's a really odd question. Clearly they put the fuel inside the 747. It would be very hard to use the fuel while in flight if it was stored outside the 747.
Wikipedia says the 747-400 holds 57,285g of fuel. The gallon is a measure of volume, and that amount of fuel is equal to a volume of 7,658 cubic feet.
Wikipedia says the 747-400 the has a wing area of 5,650 square feet. Making a random guess that the average height of the wing is 3 feet over that area (I found some info saying it's over 6 feet tall at the root), the total volume of the wings would be 16,950 cubic feet. But even if we guess the average wing height is 2 feet, that's still 11,300 cubic feet.
I'm hoping we can all agree that 16,950 cubic feet of wing volume is larger than 7,658 cubic feet of fuel. So I'd say most of the fuel is likely to be in the wings, but they probably put some fuel in other places as well. It's a really really large airplane.
These are not deep mysteries. There is nothing interesting about these questions.

I find it interesting even if you don't

31 Aug 2024 07:58Since the earth is flat, 16,950 can be less than 7,658.
Oh wait there's more
