Add "a sense of humor" to the ever increasing list of things Patrick is unfamiliar with...
The point there RAF is that " a couple of hours" is out of context..The EVA will be a couple of hours long, but not the simulated stay on the moon. The landing time is roughly a day. "Couple hours" makes no sense.
One may surmise, this was/is a piece of script, something penned for Aldrin by another. The script writer botched this, wasn't thinking carefully enough.
A genuine astronaut in Aldrin's situation would not make that statement, ergo, said astronaut, the utterer of said out of context lines, is a thespian, not a real spaceman.
I wonder if it will turn out those high pitched beeps/tones that riddle the Apollo dialog are dialog SIGNALS, or image SIGNALS of some sort. Lots of possibilities there, but interesting to consider these.
Obviously the Apollo dialogs/scripts are tightly restricted. This is why the CapComs are the only ones that communicate with the astronauts, to guard against someone injecting something that will blow the scam. Perhaps some stuff is even prerecorded, certainly the movies cannot be live.
Think about this. Since the Apollo 13 capsule splashed on target but entered shallow, hence giving rise to the longer than anticipated blackout period on entry, one can conclude with utter certainty, the "reentry" was staged, was fraudulent. One cannot have an on target splash with a long entry. Were the ship real, and were it to have entered shallow, and were this shallowness on entry to have given rise to the prolonged LOS, then the ship would have opened its shoots long, downrange, well outside the anticipated target zone.
From that, one can speculate, not idly, but rather seriously/meaningfully, given the scenario as described, as it played out, it makes it rather difficult to imagine that the astronauts were in earth orbit as some hoax advocates suggest, e.g. Sibrel. It is extremely unlikely that Apollo 13 was in earth orbit during this charade, at least not there at the end. They are tracking "something". The tracking people certainly are not in on the fix. Non NASA types are tracking whatever is coming in.
One thing one does indeed now know with absolute certainty is that it is not a genuine Apollo capsule carrying astronauts coming in. Such is the case because they cannot track the thing and find it enters the atmosphere and splashes on target, AND AT THE SAME TIME, enters shallow and in the context of this shallow entry gives rise to this very extended LOS AND still lands on target. NONSENSE.........
One concludes, more likely than not, the pretend space farers are dropped by way of cargo craft. They were dropped late in the case of the Apollo thirteen splash, a couple three minutes late really messed up the phony thing, but what could they do? It is not as though any of this were real. Were it, there would have been no question as to why the extended LOS. (That is another good/important generic point as regards Apollo fraud. Whenever they cannot explain something reasonably well, like the extended LOS here, not only does it betray the fraud in a general sense, but it gives one a clue as to what may have really occurred in some particular situation, in this case, with regard to the staged Apollo 13 capsule splash. ? Dropped by cargo plane? Additionally, it leads one to reasonably speculate about where the astronauts were during these phony missions, lots of explanations are possible and various scenarios are reasonable, but one broad category of scenario that should be explored is to look at the possibility the astronauts were on earth when all this nonsense was going on, i.e. the missions.
Have you ever seen that great BBC show featuring Patrick Moore as an old man and reviewing the events of the big night, APOLLO 11 A NIGHT TO REMEMBER? There is a great scene in there where they show us the escape route for the astronauts from the Saturn V. There was a super long slide that they could go down, 300 plus feet worth of slide, and then wind up at the base of the rocket UNDERGROUND. There was a blast proof bunker there. This was said to have been an emergency escape route to provide the astronauts a way out if they needed to scram and hide safely under an unstable and perhaps even an imminently blowing soon to be 10 megaton fireball of a useless spaceship.
That may be what happened. They load the phony astronauts in and then the phony astronauts "sneak out", slide down the long shoot and creep away. The rocket "blasts off", and all the staging stuff is pre recorded for the most part. They add some necessary real time touches, the accurate weather patterns on the earth images and so forth.
Lots of things to look into. Would also make some sense to send them up in a limited capacity as well. Not a big focus of mine presently, but certainly one of the more interesting aspects of the fraud and one of the trickiest for our side to deal with given tracking capabilities and what not. Lots of fun ahead exploring this as time goes on.
