In this scrupulously and voluminously bleeped episode of Right Angle, we discover the reason that the normally completely calm and imperturbable Bill Whittle is just a tad discomforted by the semi-success of America’s first return to the lunar surface in almost 55 years. Hint: it’s not because it burned down, tipped over and fell into the swamp.
Listen here on Soundcloud:
BAHAHA! I like Bill a whole lot more now. 😀
At first, I thought it was a technical glitch. I’m traveling down a small ravine with steep walls. Bill’s voice is beeping out. Darned signal strength…
About the Artemis mission:
Go to Destin Sandlin’s YouTube Channel “Smarter Every Day” and watch the talk he gave to a group of aerospace types and think about what he said in regards to how NASA is planning to fly the Artemis mission. It looks like it’s going to one gigantic cl*ster f*ck before it’s done, if it even can be done they way they are planning to do it.
Bill, I’ve never seen you more angered than you are with the results of the 2020 election and that was why I signed up for 20 bucks a month for your uncensored shows you committed that that stolen election would never happen again, where is that commitment now?
Bill I was 8 years old closing in on 9 when we first landed on the moon. I hear ya!. I was going to be an Astronaut All the way into my early teens. Boy I’m glad I didn’t try. I would have waisted my life. Joined the Air Force at 21 hoping to fly. That didn’t happen either. No I was made a medic. Left the Air Force at 24. Went in Navy Reserve as a Hospital Corpsman aka DOC. Settled in to my situation then Desert shield/ storm. Then Panama Ortega. The 911, then Iraq again, OIF, OEF,… Read more »
Bill if you think you’re mad to be in the 4th quarter, think of Steven Tofel and I who are in OVERTIME…and grew up with the whole preparation for the FIRST moon landing… H*ll, I think Buck Rogers is as p*ssed off as we are only about 10 times as much as he DIED just before we got to where he was fighting the Martians all those years!
Where the heck is….what’s his name? Y’know, THE MAN WHO SOLD THE MOON!! We really need you NOW!
That Heinlein character is Delos David Herriman (D.D. Harriman).
Ron SAE and I, among others, have often noted the real world correlation between Elon Musk and the fictional D.D. Harriman. It’s just a pity that it took so long for someone like Musk to come along.
Just wondering why Scott’s ‘holy cow’ wasn’t censored…
That’s two. I hear that water may be most plentiful at the Moon’s poles. If true, that’s where the people are. Maybe cow tipping is popular on the Moon and lacking cows, they’re tipping landers…
Well, Bill, I’m glad you got your inner Marine out. Now go to your favorite priest/pastor/rabbi/imam/wicken and plead for forgiveness. As an aviator you know there’s no such thing as a “good landing.” Every contact of one moving object with another moving object, in this case mother Earth, is at best a controlled crash. As for pretty much the rest of comments by all three of you, you reiterate my comments/feelings of 50 years ago – Government get out, you spend too much of MY taxes trying to figure out what the back yard rocket enthusiast already knows. Let private… Read more »
Why haven’t we sent astronauts back to the moon since the last Apollo mission? It’s called “Affirmative Action” or was called that. Now it’s called “DEI” or more correctly “DIE”. Remember that President “Peanuts” Carter created the Department of Education, and since that department came into existence, they’ve done such an exceptional job that the USA has gone from having the best (i.e. #1) education rating in the world, to the current #24. “Affirmative Action” is why, in spite of sending astronauts to the moon using slide rules for calculations, we could not launch Space Shuttles safely, nor keep them… Read more »
Well, regarding “DEI” and “DIE”, I wish that advocates for the former would just do the latter.
Excellent comment! After learning about replacement parts that were counterfeit being used in our airplane engines, I will not fly. There are too many possibilities for disaster, ie, pilots, planes, fake approved engine parts, and now thousands of would be terrorists Biden has let into our country. I value my life whether or not the powers that be care one whit.
