Phil if you are not going to teach the controversy, you can’t call yourself a “scientist.”

Everyone knows the so-called moon landing was reincarnated in a sound studio in Arizona!!

Stick to your geeky little telescopes and don’t try fooling us Joe the Plumbers who have to make a living in the real world.

@Chris, Jack – I live in Canada and yes, where I live (Ontario – nowhere near the Arctic Circle!), we do have star parties in the summer!

I’m off to listen to Are We Alone.

Call me a Broadway nerd, but am I the only one who thought the music at the start of this podcast sounds suspiciously like the beginning of the song “You’ll See Boys” from RENT?

Yeah, I thought so

23. Chris A. Says: “@Jack and Nevy C: Last year’s July full Moon fell on the 18th. If Nevy C lives far enough north (e.g. northernmost Alaska), then the Moon might very well have set at 1:00 a.m.! I found that from a location about 200 km ESE of Fairbanks, AK, the full Moon would indeed have set at 1:00 a.m. on 7/18/2008.”

Interesting, but it still confirms what I said about the full moon setting at sunrise!

Somehow I don’t think many star parties would be held near the Arctic Circle in the middle of summer!
