  1. You're giving him too much credit. He was just ignorant and arrogant. Not that flat earthers aren't, but their ignorance is on a higher level. Flat Earthers believe the Apollo program was a hoax. The reviewer didn't know there was an Apollo program. I remember when the movie was out in theaters I told a co-worker I was going to see it, he said "What's that move about, anyway?". I laughed at him, but I could just as well have cried.

  2. How could Goddard have sued "The German government" for patent infringement? The NAZI regime would not have entertained a claim from a nation with which they were at war and it would have been pointless for the postwar German government to have claimed intellectual property on technology that three powers occupying Germany were freely using and building upon.

  3. "Buzz punched the fuck out of a conspiracy dude saying he didnt actually go." Yes, but the dude did considerably worse, the 30 year old called the 55 year old Aldrin a liar and a coward to his face in so many words.

  4. "Long in the tooth" is a phrase that means "old" not "lengthy".

  5. The explosion in the oxygen tank was a thermal one, because the tank heater was stuck on, a result of an earlier error in cleaning up after a maintenance/test procedure on the ground. There was no chemical explosion caused by a spark (until after that oxygen and some of the adjacent hydrogen tanks burst). Oxygen does not burn/explode chemically in the absence of a fuel to burn.

  6. Verne also predicted that the capsule would be made of aluminum and carry 3 men.
