More proof that the moon landing was faked - http://lewrockwell.com/reynolds/reynolds23.1.html - based on the deployment method of the latest Mars rover 'Curiosity'.

As an added bonus, alpha1's theories are also proven to be bunk. 🙂

Unfortunately, alfa seems to be off their radar screens. For now.

Oh, and if there are no cheeseburgers on Mars, then why did we waste time going there? Oh yeah, because engineers like showing off.

Speaking of showing off, I had a hand in Curiosity.  I worked on the radio that sends the telemetry back to Earth.  That's when I learned I was not an RF Engineer.

Cool. At least the vehicle you worked on made it to Mars correctly.

I worked on the Canadian addition to the Japanese Nozomi Spacecraft and we missed Mars orbit. Nothing I did - I just did a launch vibration on the one instrument.

My company made the fiber that collects light for the laser based spectrometer (LIBS) and LabVIEW had a role in measuring the critical diameter specifications of the fiber. Watched mission control live during the EDL phase, cool to watch success in real time!
