Nah—just kidding. Mike wouldn't do that. But I couldn't resist teasing
him when he announced a special 'Black Friday' deal on his primitive
blog. Dear Mike--
Isn't it time for a corrected edition? Your readers surely deserve
better than fuzzy pictures of Proclus, Asada and Picard when LROC strips
of these craters exist at 100x better resolution.
It would give you an opportunity, too, to retract the Italian scan of
East Massif -- given that Davide De Martin, who did the scan, has said
the "spar" is a scanning fault.
I hope you'd also eliminate your excruciatingly wrong paragraph about the appearance of Earth from space.
On the other hand, I guess the down side is that, if you corrected the book, there wouldn't be much left of it.
New readers can decode the text by referring back to these bloggeries:
Proclus and Asada
Picard
Italian scan of East Massif
Earth from Space (error #15)
Any bets on whether he'll allow the comment to appear?
Now that Bad Astronomy has moved to Slate, the quality of the comments has gone straight to the gutter.
I
just went to the page about the exciting discovery on Mars that NASA is
supposedly covering up, scrolled down to the comments until I found
this (copied and pasted with all spelling errors intact).
Thomas Turk Why
would nasa tell you anything now. They altered the color phots of
previous Mars photos to show red instead of blue atmosphere. They
degraded the Mars 'Face' to make it look like a natural piece of rock,
wheres early shots showed symmetry, teeth, eyes etc. They ignored the
geometric structures, mechanicak parts etc that the airbrushers omitted
to airbrush out, so why expect anyjthing now, apart from maybe...
microbes.
If you open www.theyfly.com you will need to
re-organise your thinking and, you will defintiely stop waiting for
snippets of info/misinfo from nasa. After all it was agreed at Brookings
in 1958 that should there be any discoveries of past civilizations in
our solar system in the upcoming space programs, they would not be
disseminated.
The question is, is this Hoagie or one of his sheep/followers? And
that's not the worst of them. Trouble is, Slate gets a different
audience from Discovery so Donald Trump's hair and Obama's birth cert
get brought up quite a bit. Not to mention Tea partiers complaining
about NASA wasting their precious tax dollars.
NASA and Hoagland are hiding the fact that there is nothing to hide.
If
anything, they manufacture a Brookings friendly veneer to cover the
fact that the supposed ETs are actually inter dimensional; the Watchers.
If man is descended from Martians, or vice versa, who perhaps
came from Orion, or even if they are Space NAZIS, then at least we are
all the same species.
The next step would be for our cousins to
share their high technology in benevolent fashion, and support our
system of government.
Of course some new fangled religion must
also be established, because otherwise people might not be so willing to
submit their sovereignty to the New World Order under control of
demonic forces.
Sorry "lady", humans evolved in Earth Gravity, just like every
other living specie. An Inter-generational Star Ship, spinning to
provide Gravity, would have stopped nearby. It would be a super valuable
resource to ANY civilization! No such thing is out there!
I just looked at the 5-part rebuttal by Bara about
the Lunar Ziggurat and one thing that jumped out at me when he tried to
reduce the noise in the pic (or even before, for that matter) is how it
looks like a very poorly-produced FAKE. From memory, it looks like it
has a higher sun-angle than other parts of the pic, but even more, there
are very clearly defined edges, where, if we're talking about
back-scatter, wouldn't its effects be more pronounced higher on the wall
than at the bottom, which would have next to none?
I don't know if any such
thing is out there or not, Bioillogical Eunuch, but the bullshit that I
posted here, is Hoagland's as much as NASASS'. I thought that this page
was supposed to be about such hokum.
It's even current news. Isn't it fair to speculate what sort of bullshit that Hoagland is likely to excrete next?
Well, I'm not saying Bara or Hoagland did it. I remember reading
it can be traced to 2003 and, as far as I know, they didn't start
commenting on the alleged ziggurat until more recenty. I have a
hypothesis that maybe it was not originally photoshopped to represent
what is currently on the moon. Maybe someone examined te original shot
from NASA an thought it looked like an ancient ziggurat with a lot of
wear and tear and wanted to show what that ziggurat may have looked like
(sort of an artist's conceptual rendering).
Expat, I have read all of Robbin's argument about the
Ziggurat, but have yet to finish Bara's original claim and parts of his
rebuttal (most of the way through). To my mind, he has the burden of
proof thing completely backwards. Robbins does not have to prove
anything, Bara does. Someone might think that's a strange statement, but
from my experience, it is the person who is making the affirmative case
in a debate that needs to establish their argument. He makes
extraordinary claims (ie, there is an ancient artifact on the moon) and
he needs to have demonstrated that the best evidence shows that it is
there. And that has not been demonstrated. He can't even provide real
evidence that the photo is genuine. Oh well.
What Misty is trying to tell you is: What NASA would say if you asked them if they like butter milk? then NASA is going to say: Ay Caramba Dick..... How did they find out about the damned butter milk?
NASA is just another kind of
modern religion using the old brain washing methods! At the time when
people start to losing faith in that religion the ruling elite will send
false prophets to state that there is something which is sacred and
hidden from them and it's so holy that cannot be told! Then the people
regain their faith waiting for that missing part to come and so the cow
becomes holy but also her milk and shit as well!

How
did you first meet Dr Hoagland, Mike, and get the gig as co-writer? Is
it true that Preston Nicols actually ghost wrote Monuments of Mars?
Mike Bara That
is not true. Richard wrote every word of Monuments. I started writing
web articles for Richard's site in the mid-90's and we put the book
together in 2007 out of a selection of them.

Frank Schweinefleisch Who
is the crazy hacker that keeps jamming Dr Hoagland's FB page? Is it
Preston Nicols? Why does he have such a big grudge against the good
captain? I figured it must be like some ghost that didn't get paid. Did
you and Dr Hoagland split 50/50?
Anyone who has seen Hoagland's presentations can tell he wrote
MoM. Both have the same dreary, unrelenting self-importance with nothing
backing it up that Hoagland does so well. He really doesn't need any
help in being that awful.
So I guess Mike Bara likes a Pravda piece that calls Obama a
Communist. LMAO. I can't allow myself to read the whole article. Two big
honking lies in the first few sentences is enough. The second was
saying that Obama raised faxes. He WANTS to raise taxes on high income
households, but so far, he has only CUT taxes. Payroll tax cut anyone?
Making work pay tax credit anyone? And Mike Bara says, about the
article: I couldn't have said it better. If that's true, Mike, maybe
you're in tge wrong business...
The X-37B is a mini Space Shuttle The Space Shuttle has been
scrapped and it's secret military missions have been allocated to the
X-37B under the Airforce instead of NASA.
With Hoagland's big
interest in the Space Shuttle, I find it utterly amazing and curious as
hell, that he deletes all questions from his facebutt page about the
X-37B, unless his is under a sworn oath of secrecy.
After all,
he was a big promoter of nuclear powered Project Prometheus before the
X-37B came into play, and now he won't talk about that either, anymore.
Even more curiously ironic, is that nobody here want's to criticize Hoagland's hypocrisy on these issues.
I don't know about you guys, but classified programs don't mean
that American citizens shouldn't pay any attention to them. It's not as
if Russian and China don't know more about US classified programs than
US tax payers. I supposed if Expat is just a visitor here, than it's
none of his business, and if he isn't the least bit curious about
something as high tech as the X=37B and in Space related topics, then
his axe to grind with Hoagland and Bara is simply petty, personal
bullshit.
