cool video thanks for sharing.

@ymi2b Suuuuure.

Maybe you mean distant mountains, which look much the same until you have traveled miles?

[ymi2b]

@Pygar2 : The films were actually spliced together bits of footage made to look like a longer driving sequence. If you look at some videos in the rover, you'll notice repeating backgrounds where they drive over the same landscape more than once. NASA really goofed up on that one.

@ymi2b Perhaps you should see a psychiatrist and be evaluated for possible paranoid schizophrenia. I don't mean that offensively. In fact, I'm absolutely serious. Schizophrenia afflicts something like 1% of the human population, a very large number for such a horrible, debilitating illness. Maybe it's the price we humans pay for having quickly evolved such large brains; they don't always work right.

@akastoriano Mythbusters didn't actually refute every one of the hoax "theories"; they didn't have time, and not every one of them would have made good television. But they sampled enough of them (and refuted every one they sampled) to give the viewers a good feel for how utterly bogus they are. I especially enjoyed their 0/reduced gravity flights, something I hope to do myself someday. How anyone could see that and not realize the utter bogosity of the 'moon hoax' is beyond me.

@ymi2b Hey, guess what? I agree with you that the Bush II administration is probably the closest this country has ever come to fascism. We probably agree that he deliberately lied us into a war, and that he and his cronies should stand trial for war crimes. But that doesn't mean the US is incapable of ever doing anything right. I think you, like most hoaxheads, think of the US government as such an unmitigated evil that they're incapable of ever doing good, ergo Apollo could not have happened.

@ymi2b I see. Well, pardon me if I'm skeptical about anything the state of Mississippi may or may not have done to you. Anyway, your degree or lack thereof doesn't really matter to me. What matters is that you know what you're talking about. Earning a degree can help, but it's no guarantee. Even if you had one I'd say it's already apparent that you don't know what you're talking about.

@Ragnarok222R Appology accepted, thanks for being cordial. I ask myself that question a lot too, "why don't they just assassinate me?" It really is quite confusing... I'm sure they could make it look like an accident, and who knows maybe I will have cut brake lines one day and crash off the edge of a ravine into a river, I wouldn't put it past the gov. Maybe they think i'm more valuable alive, I guess, because they can sniff into my network but I'm not that high up the ladder...

@ymi2b Okay, sorry. There's a guy on here called 2nasafakedit among other names who has a whole list of conspiracies like 9/11, I kind of let the line between him and other's blur. But that still doesn't answer why they don't just kill you. I'm certain it'd cost less to trick some gang into thinking your a rival and killing you than to pay at least a portion of a department of people to constantly monitor your e-mails. They really must not think of you as a threat, or even wirthy of attention
