Mavric Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Or did it? http://listverse.com/2012/12/28/10-reasons-the-moon-landings-could-be-a-hoax/ Gotta love conspiracy theories. Most of them live on despite being unequivocally disproven. The Laser Ranging Retroreflector experiment was deployed on Apollo 11, 14, and 15. It consists of a series of corner-cube reflectors, which are a special type of mirror with the property of always reflecting an incoming light beam back in the direction it came from. A similar device was also included on the Soviet Union's Lunakhod 2 spacecraft. These reflectors can be illuminated by laser beams aimed through large telescopes on Earth. The reflected laser beam is also observed with the telescope, providing a measurement of the round-trip distance between Earth and the Moon. This is the only Apollo experiment that is still returning data from the Moon. Many of these measurements have been made by McDonald Observatory in Texas. From 1969 to 1985, they were made on a part-time basis using the McDonald Observatory 107-inch telescope. Since 1985, these observations have been made using a dedicated 30-inch telescope. Additional measurements have been made by observatories in Hawaii, California, France, Australia, and Germany. Link Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Scopes Monkey Trial 90 Years Ago Today In Dayton, Tennessee, the so-called “Monkey Trial” ends... <snip> In March 1925, the Tennessee legislature had passed the anti-evolution law, making it a misdemeanor punishable by fine to “teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” With local businessman George Rappalyea, Scopes had conspired to get charged with this violation, and after his arrest the pair enlisted the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to organize a defense. Hearing of this coordinated attack on Christian fundamentalism, William Jennings Bryan, the three-time Democratic presidential candidate and a fundamentalist hero, volunteered to assist the prosecution. Soon after, the great attorney Clarence Darrow agreed to join the ACLU in the defense, and the stage was set for one of the most famous trials in U.S. history. LINK Trivia: Who won the Scopes Monkey trial? Was it the fundamentalist Christians represented by Nebraska's William Jennings Bryan? Or the evolutionists represented by Clarence Darrow? (William Jennings Bryan won.) After eight minutes of deliberation, the jury returned with a guilty verdict, and Raulston ordered Scopes to pay a fine of $100. Although Bryan had won the case, he had been publicly humiliated and his fundamentalist beliefs had been disgraced. Five days later, on July 26, he lay down for a Sunday afternoon nap and never woke up. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Mom Arrested for ‘Abandonment’ of Kids 30 Feet Away by Walter Hudson July 22, 2015 - 6:00 am Browder sat her children down inside the food court near a McDonald’s and went to her interview, she said. The interview wasn’t for a job at the mall, but the food court was a meeting ground for each party. Browder said she wasn’t more than 30 feet away from her children at any point and they were always in her line of sight. After Browder returned to her children, a police officer was on scene and arrested her. The charge was “child abandonment.” How can you abandon your children when they remain in sight?
