Harry, don't lie about me. I've reported that Wernher Von Braun,
himself said that much. Hitler caused their deaths, just like he
did everyone that died in the concentration camps. We've seen
the piles of bodies. Hitler is the one that created the concentration
camps. Hitler is the one that ordered the people captured and put
in them. Hitler is the one who decided that the V-2 was ready to
be used as a missile, even though it still had flaws as a rocket to
lift off and go to space. Hitler is the one that in the last six
months
of the war drove everyone at an insane pace in his desparation
to not be defeated to turn out the rockets he used as missiles.

The word of a war criminal is not really trusted.

He did have ultimate responsibility - but by your logic he is innocent

Well, no, but he did authorize them.

After WvB and his team had designed it for the purpose of killing
civilians.

It was never designed for that.

But he was NOT the person who actually did those things. WvB was one
of the many people who did.

Actually, I believe the V-2 was the first man made object in space.
It just wasn't designed to stay there.

"Versions of the A4 [the previous name of the V-2] included the
first ballistic missile, the first projectile to reach space, and
were actively used in warfare."

I have no idea what you think you gain by droning on about Wehrner von
Braun.
He wasn't an evolutionary biologist.
He was an engineer.

He may have believed in a creator God, but then so do many
evolutionary biologists. Bearing in mind the religiosity of USAians,
you have no way of knowing if he declared any such beliefs because he
believed them, or if he did so cynically for political reasons. You
have no evidence whatsoever that he believed in a literal
interpretation of the Bible, and even if you did it would have no
bearing whatsoever on the validity of evolutionary theory.

In science, issues are resolved on the basis of evidence and argument,
not the religious beliefs (or lack of them) of scientists. It is a
measure of the lack of support for creationism that they drag religion
into what they claim to be an issue of science at the drop of a hat.

With a bit more overhyping Hanna Reitsch
was the world's first astronaut,
with a suborbital V1 'rocket' test flight
to 80.000 feet.

(and speaking of true nazis:
she refused to join Von Braun's team in the USA
and felt that the only crime that any German
could be accused of was the crime of losing the war)

The use of the term "sub-orbital" with regard to a vehicle
that cannot break the sound barrier, and limited to an
altitude of 80,000 feet is gilding the lily, to say the least.

In which case, one should refer to the Concorde as
being "sub-orbital", it even flew faster than a V-1...

Not very clear on the concept of a war of *aggression*,
was she ? That alone makes her judgement meaningless
and self serving.

It surprised me greatly too,
but "hanna reitsch" suborbital
throws up many references.
While there seems little doubt
that she actually test flew a V1.
Details of that flight are hard to find.
(the manned V1 was called the Fieseler Reichenberg)
Her main contribution seems to have been
to find a way to land it safely.
(after several others got killed trying it)

Her taking it up to 80,000 feet may well be an urban legend.
Hanna Reitsch fine-tuning the V1 before operational use
seems to be a Hollywood myth to.

Just thought I'd see. Since the SR-71 made a record altitude flight
of 85,135 feet in July 1976 I would have thought that no one, not even
our Dutch friend, could entertain for a second that a subsonic
primitive pulse jet without pressurisation could reach those
altitudes.

It is obvious that a V1 couldn't go that high.
If it could have gone higher it would have,
and it wouldn't have been intercepted by Spitfires
or shot down by radar-controlled guns.

What part of 'overhyping' don't you understand?
I made it clear right from the start

At that point the plane was still in a steep climb,

and it could no doubt have gone much higher.

No one seems to have been foolish enough to try.
I've seen no record of Hanna's three powered flights

How much fuel was left? Just enough for several passes at the bombers
as designed.
With no pressure cabin, how much higher could it have gone with a
functioning pilot. Do you really like that pain in your foot?
Instead of making unsupported assertions, why not try (for the first
time) to back up your wet dreams.
Thinking of wet, the remains of one of HMS Victoria's sister ships was
found just up river from the Thames Barrier. The baulks of timber
were massive.

OTOH continuing the climb for another 9 minutes,

Operational ceiling is given as 12 km.
Without pressure cabin a pilot going higher
could only hope to recover conciousness in time
for a safe landing.
(assuming the plane to have been stable by itself in the meantime)

I found a possible source for the confusion.
The Me 163C prototype (which did have a pressure cabin)
was renamed to Me 263 V1
It didn't get beyond gliding tests though,
and never achieved powered flight.
The Me 263 V2 remained a mock-up only.

Of course, she must have been a wooden ship
with structural iron reinforcements.

We'll see.
Will she be salvaged?

Care to put that last paragraph into something resembling English?

Hitler may have ordered it but the people using the slave labor were
the ones complicit in working them to death on starvation rations.
That includes your St. WvB. He was a war criminal and all you

There may be a confusion here with the Messerschmidt rocket planes.
Anyway, I just like to know where the myth came from.

I agree that air-breathers cannot be sub orbital.

Absolutely right, he was not an evolutionary
biologist. And yes, he sure was an engineer,
and had a degree in mechanical engineer to
show for it. He also was a scientist, according
to the school curriculum, as they had made
rocket engineers be a form of science, since
there is a great deal of experimentation that
has to go on in that field. He had a double
degree and his Ph.D. was in Physics which is
a science, and which he also used in his work.
He was also had the National Science Medal
conferred upon him.

I do have a way of knowing. He literally accepted
Jesus' death on the cross as the payment for his
sins, and he said that he felt that a great burden
had been lifted from him. An engineer had asked
him if he wanted to receive Christ as his Savior,
and he led him in a prayer to do that. The engineer
had experienced this, himself, prior to this. After
this, he was seen reading the Bible by workers. If
a rocket would go up, he would pray that it would
have success. He then gave his personal testimony
at churches in America about how he had received
Christ and was now trusting in him with his life, and
for his salvation to go to heaven when he died. He
also told people that they should read the Bible and
accept the words in it as coming from the Lord. He
said that people should accept the Bible on faith,
and that it is from the Lord to help them.

Yes, he has written things saying that he believes the
Bible and accepts it on faith. He did not seem to be a
fan of evolution, but he was of science and he said that
people should continue with science, but some of the
things in evolution, he felt were very wrong. His idea that
he told to people is that people should have both science
and the Bible, that there is a place for each.

Well, in these posts that you are responding to,
we were not talking about religion, but about the
nazis, Von Braun, the V-2, the forced laborers,
the concentration camps, what constitutes a
war criminal, the war crimes tribunals, whether
or not the V-2 is a weapon or a space rocket, or
both, the fact that London was bombed, NASA
and the space program, where the first field
center of NASA was, etc. You've brought up
these subjects that I have addressed in this
post. If you read what Talk Origins talks about,
religion is one of those things. Many people
see science and religion as overlapping one
another. Bringing up any kind of religious
subject has nothing to do with your idea that
creationism is not popular. It is popular, and it
is a subject that likely would be discussed
along side of evolution.

Andre, I have some information for you about
NASA if you remember that we were discussing.
Do you remember that we were discussing that
Marshall Space Flight Center was called on the
MSFC website, "the first field center" of NASA?
I was thinking it might have something to do
with it's having civilians brought into it? Well, I
researched it and found out that is what seems
to be the reason. Remember that I had said that
it was forming during the first two years and you
had spoken about Langley and others being
added immediately after it was voted on by
Congress to come into existence and called
NASA? You were reasoning that Langley
already was a field center and that it was older,
(which you were correct about) than Marshall Space Flight Center,
which it was of course, since MSFC
was not set up until 1960, two years after NASA
was voted on to come into existence. But here's
the information that will explain why Marshall is considered to be the
first field center of NASA:
>
First, let me tell you one thing. Kruschev and
Eisenhower were both at a point where the
realized how awful it would be if we each had
rockets, in the case that one of us made a
mistake and sent one up accidentally. Even
though a few years earlier, Kruschev had said
at the UN "We will bury you," while shaking his
shoe (I actually saw that as it happened!) he
had later gotten to this point where he realized
the terrible things they possessed. Both of
these leaders were military leaders and that
helped them to see that peaceful coexistence
was what they needed to have with regard to
the ownership of rockets. Now, I'll continue...
>
In 1958, Eisenhower organized NASA to be
formed and as a civilian agency. It passed in
Congress and the reorganization began.
---------------------------------
(Statement about NASA's policy and purpose:)
"Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of
Representatives of the United States of America,
we hereby declare that it is the policy of the
United States that activities in space should be
devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind. The
Congress further declares that space activity shall be directed by a
civilian agency, and
shall be conducted so as to contribute materially to
the expansion of human knowledge."
(End of NASA statement)
-------------------------------
To insure that NASA was controlled by civilians,
Eisenhower moved funding for all manned space
programs from the military to NASA. In time,
there was a plan to set up the Redstone Arsenal
and the Huntsville Arsenal in the state of Alabama,
to become the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.
Wernher Von Braun and his German scientist team
had already been at that location for some time,
working for the Army, and they seemed to want to
stay with the Army. At first V.B. refused the
position, but Eisenhower made it plain to him that
if he remained with the Army, he and the team
would probably all be split up from each other.
Rather than see them all split up, Von Braun
accepted the offer to be the head of MSFC and
the team reamed with him as well, of course. They
then transferred from military to civilian right away,
and Eisenhower got his wish, and his reorganization
of NASA was completed when the former
Redstone Arsenal became the brand new civilian
agency called NASA Marshall Space Flight Center,
whereupon it became the first civilian field center.

That has to be a first.

Nope. Nothing to do with it at all.

That is the fact.

You do spout some rubbish.

The reality is that the MSFC was the first new field centre set up
after the transfer of the NACA to NASA. It in no way changed the
status of existing field centres at places like Langley.

The NACA was not a military organization though many of its facilities
were military. WvB became a member of the Special Committee on Space
Technology which the NACA formed in late 1957. This committee's role
was given the mandate to coordinate various branches of the Federal
government, private companies as well as universities within the
United States with NACA's objectives and also harness their expertise
in order to develop a space program. In many ways this is seen as the
real birth of NASA.

The Airforce and Navy facilities involved in rocket research were
transferred to the new NASA from day one. However, because of the
complexity of the Huntsville set up and blocking moves by the Army,
who always considered rockets to be their domain, it took nearly two
years to reorganize the Army's facilities into the MSFC which was then
handed to NASA. Most, but not all, of the Army's rocket research
workers were passed to NASA at the same time.

It has everything to do with it. NASA was set up to be a
civilian agency, not a military agency, and to show that
is true, I included excerpts from the National Aeronautics
and Space administrations's act of 1958 as proof.
An act of Congress is not rubbish, and neither is the
carrying out of that act.

I did not make an error, Bob, I said that he had a
double degree...that he had a Master's degree
in Mechanical Englneering, and a Ph.D. degree
in Physics, and that he was both an engineer,
as well as being a scientist.

No, Bob, I am not lying. Here is the account:
---------------------------------
In 1962, an engineer led Dr. von Braun to Christ using a Gideon Bible.
Upon praying to repent of sin and receive Christ, the eminent rocket
scientist confessed that he felt like a great burden had been lifted
off him. He became a fervent Christian, and prayed for the success of
his launches. As Apollo 11 lifted off the pad, he was found reciting
the Lord's Prayer. Never pushy about his faith, he spoke openly about
it when asked. In 1972, he wrote to the California school board to
argue for inclusion of non-evolutionary views in science classes.
Popular magazine articles by von Braun discussed science's dependence
on Christian faith.

He didn't have a mental breakdown, Bob, he
had a heart meltdown...
I promise you it is true, that did become a
Christian later. When I met him before this
happened, I asked him if he had given his life
to Christ and he was astonished that I cared. I will
never, ever forget his reply. He said,
"Young woman...No one has ever, ever cared,
not in my whole life, whether I stayed out of Hell!"
(He called me "young woman" because it is an
exact translation of the way that an older
person would address a younger woman in
the German language as "Maedchen," which
he would have been accostomed to using.)
>
Well, I cared a great deal, but it was the Lord's
prompting me in my heart, saying that he
wanted me to ask him the question that caused
me to do that, because I was also at that age
very shy of speaking, especially to such a famous
person, and asking him a bold question. You may
not understand this, Bob, but the Holy Spirit was
prompting all this and he was seeking WVB to
trust him as his savior and Lord. Simultaneously
when I spoke to him, the Lord was working in his
heart. The whole thing was the Lord, not me, in
other words. I didn't ask him to do this, but he
promised me that he was considering what I had
asked him, very seriously, and that he was going
to get a Bible and read what it says about "this
Jesus that you love so much," he said. He added
"I will keep this promise and you remember this,
because I never make a promise that I do not
intend to keep." I'm sure I'm not the only person
that cared about him accepting the Lord, and
there were probably many others who prayed
for him, especially probably in his own family,
but it's through an inner experience that a person
can know that the Lord is seeking them, and
through this they know that he is real.

I'll raise you a rocket scientist and another feeble excuse from
Suzanne about not actually being there but seeing it on TV. Which she
couldn't have; it wasn't recorded. Incidentally, the quote "We will
bury you!" and the shoe banging incident were two events separated by
4 years and several thousand miles. Ah, the wonders of a creationist
mind.

Not me...

No, since the statement and the shoe incident happened about
4 years apart.

12 Oct 1960 for the shoe incident:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-banging_incident

18 Nov 1956 for the "we will bury you" statement:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_will_bury_you

It happened, Tom:
1960 - At the United Nations, Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev went
ballistic, taking off his shoe and pounding it on his desk! The UN
Assembly President, Frederick Boland, was so irritated that he split
his gavel trying to reestablish order.

I looked for a video for you to see the event, which

yelling in a speech. It is the first photo, and that is
not him speaking, that is someone else speaking
while you see the first photo of Khruschev. Then
the other voice you hear is a translator who is
translating some words of Khruschev's. The shoe
that he is holding up looks like a loafer sort of
shoe in this photo.

photo, by the way, appears to be blurry a little

No, you did not listen very well.

"To insure that NASA was controlled by civilians,
Eisenhower moved funding for all manned space
programs from the military to NASA."
This is what made it very different. There were a
couple of exceptions and that would be things such
as if we had to suddenly go to war. This civilian
part was not complete until Marshall was set up.
It is the first field center run by civilians.
You wish.

The MSFC had nothing to do with completeness or lack of.

No it wasn't. Its only claim to fame, and that is a somewhat
artificial one, is that it was the first new centre set up after the
formation of NASA.

No, I wish you didn't keep spouting so much rubbish.

Well, no, it wasn't. TV did not broadcast live from the General

I saw both of these, but he always waved his hand
while talking, and I can't be sure if they are the same
incident, since he put his shoe in his right hand and
waved it at the person he was speaking to just like
when he waved his hand without the shoe. He was
photographed with a shoe on the table, and he
also was photographed raising his arm high with
a shoe in it at a lecturn. Nevertheless, I did see
both things. He also pounded the table with both
of his fists, as did also the people with him from
Russia. I don't want to tell you wrong. I will ask
my mother. If she remembers it, she'll probably
remember the details, what they were all wearing
and how many children each person had, where
they are from and what they had for lunch that day,
what kind of car they each drove, and what kind
of tires they had. : )

Silly, you are ignorant of how to become a
Christian. You can't be born a baby that is
already a Christian. It's a decision that you
have to make, according to the Bible,
brilliance.
Bob, you don't become a Christian because of
membership in a church! You become a Christian
if you put your trust in Jesus Christ. A church
didn't get up on the cross and die for you.

There was life TV in the 50's and 60's. But not everything that happened
was transmitted life. As far as I know, this event wasn't - which is why

No film footage was found. Doesn't mean that there wasn't any, nor tat
it wasn't transmitted, but if it had been, there would be no need to ask
people who were actually there.

I am right that those things happened and that I
saw them on TV, but I probably am not right
that it was in only one incident. If you all prove
that is two separate incidences, then that's fine
with me. I do remember his right hand thrashing
both times, though, when he was angry, and
I also remember him pounding his fist on the
table more than once.

You are only covering up for your own embarassment; you don't care
about me, only you and that voice in your head. Your exaggeration and
inflation of your importance and your accuracy as a witness and
interpreter of the scientific and historical record is only exceeded
by your stupidity in thinking that I require or need an apology.

Be gone, gollum. Take your black coated bible and its festering
cesspool of lies with you.

Now look here you lying shit bag. Your exact words were:-

[quote]
...a few years earlier, Kruschev had said at the UN "We will bury


you," while shaking his shoe (I actually saw that as it happened!)

[end quote]

Message-ID:
<f621f7c2-5cfc-4b1e...@v20g2000yqm.googlegroups.com>

Do you deny you made that claim?

Well, first off his name was Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, that would
have been an easy thing for you to check. Second, as others have
pointed out, the phrase "we will bury you" was made on the 18th
November 1956 while the shoe banging event was 12th October 1960.

Finally, nobody, least of all a two-bit lying arsewipe like you, "saw
that as it happened" unless they were present in the main hall of the
General Assembly of the UN in New York.

Discussion is not an option. Suzanne is so out of touch that finding
points to reflect on in her distorting mirror that have the same
coordinates in reality is impossible.

I mean, look at this latest crazyness. I'm with YOO on this one; I
call "liar!" because getting S to recognise that she's imagining large
chunks of her life isn't possible. The fact that the roots of this
problem are caused by her addiction to religion doesn't seem to have
crossed what's left of her mind either. Either that, or she hits the
bottle.

There. Got that off my chest.

I can imagine someone getting away with this kind of behavior for
decades before the 'net. Can you imagine talking to her about
anything in the 1970s, when she couldn't be confronted with a
permanent record of what had just been said? That was a viable
tactic in the 1970s, but it doesn't work any more.

I admit that I am gloating, for I have had so many experiences
with people who used that tactic. I am glad to see it exposed.

Not even then. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-carlson/protesters-use-your-shoes_b_174708.html.
It's only one data point, but an extensive google search reveals that
a lot of people have looked for -- and failed to find -- even an
adequate still photo of the event, far short of a film or TV event.

<quote>

Khrushchev ruled the Soviet Union for a decade and nearly touched off
a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But ask most Americans
about him and what they remember is the banging of the shoe. The
incident is so famous that many people swear they saw it on TV.
Actually, the shoe-banging was never captured by any camera, although
there is a photo of the shoe sitting on Khrushchev's desk after he
stopped pounding it.

"In each of my lectures, they ask about the shoe," Sergei Khrushchev
-- Nikita's son, who now teaches at Brown University -- told me when I
interviewed him for K Blows Top, my forthcoming book on Khrushchev's
misadventures in America. "I say, 'Please raise your hand if you saw
it' and many people raise their hands. They really think they saw it."

Why, just this once, can you not simply say "I was mistaken, I thought
I remembered seeing it live". It won't kill you and would restore at
least a smidgeon of reputation. Your memory has let you done
constantly, you should learn not to trust it when it is proven wrong.

I admit that had I been asked if I saw it live, I would have said yes
until I recalled that I was out of the country with no TV at the time.

Everyone knows he had two degrees by now. How many he had and what
they were in is immaterial. What counts is 'What did he do' - answer
- he worked as an engineer, not a scientist.

That is the point that you refuse to see.

I thought the "We will bury you" quote was a mistranslation. I seem to
recall that the context was a conversation about which economic system
would collapse first and Khrushchev's words were better translated as
"We will attend your funeral.".

What in the text you cited indicates that the NACA employees at the
various sites that were intact when NACA became NASA in 1958 were
actually not performing work for NASA until MSFC became part of NASA
in '60?

I couldn't find anything.

Further, NASA reports pre-1960 activities on their website:
http://www.nasa.gov/50th/timeline.html

They note that on Oct 7 1958 NASA announced Project Mercury.

The Mercury astronauts Corp. were 'unveiled' on April 9, 1959.

I'd say that's pretty good evidence that NASA was quite active and
functional prior to MSFC admittance, don't you think?

Since you modified your claim that WVB was the head of NASA, to a
claim that NASA was basically just holding the occasional
administrative meeting etc. until MSFC was incorporated and thus WVB
was the 'head of NASA' since nothing really happened prior to that is
not consistent with the facts we get from NASA.

BTW, as 'Head of NASA' who do you think WVB reported to? Do you think
he somehow bypassed the NASA administrator? (just asking, I have no
idea)

in language circles there was a program that translated (or tried to)
English to Russian and Russian back to English.

the input was "The spirit was willing but the flesh is weak."
the return translation was "the wine was good but the meat was bad."
the similarities of language founder on idioms.

Russian is not the easiest of languages to translate. According to
Wikipedia the real translation of what he said should have been
"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will dig you
in".

In 1963 Khrushchev himself remarked in his speech in Yugoslavia, "I
once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of
course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will
bury you," [4] a reference to the Marxist saying, "The proletariat is
the undertaker of capitalism"; a popular articulation of the
materialist conception of history as the inevitable progression of
class struggle towards communism.

9. Civil War footage (there were no film cameras in 1865; the first
movie cameras appeared around 1898).

8. Audiences wearing 3D glasses in 1950s movie theaters (to the best
of our knowledge only still photos of this scene exist).

7. An angry (former Soviet Premier) Nikita Khrushchev at a United
Nations conference in the early 1960s slamming his shoe on the desk in
front of him to make his point (the actual footage shows him banging
his fist—the cameras may not have captured the shoe slam, if indeed
there was one.)

6. Footage of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (see number 9).

5. Eliot Ness arresting Al Capone (Ness never arrested Capone).

4. 1912 Titanic disaster footage in the North Atlantic (there are only
re-creations).

3. Workers constructing the Brooklyn Bridge (that was in the late
1800s—before motion picture cameras came on the scene).

2. Any 20th Century U.S. President appearing with his mistress in the

First of all, let's give credit where credit is due.
Andre, in his gentle way (like a Sherman tank),
is the one that pointed out that I must have
confused the time when Khruschev banged
his shoe with the time that he said "We will bury
you." I believe that he is correct about that.
But both times N.K. waved his right arm very
actively, with and without the shoe in his hand.
When he pounded his shoe, or appeared to,
When he said "We will bury you," many thought
he was threatening the West. But it was explained
later that he meant it economically, that the
Capitalists in the West would be overtaken by
the success of the Communists. Anyone listening
to his speech might've discerned this because he
added the words "Your children will be Communists."

You are now weaving yet another fairy tale, Miss Mitty; the quote was
(possibly apocryphal) from 1959 as Benson advised Khrushchev on US
agriculture. "Your children will live under communism." Benson claimed
he replied "On the contrary, my grandchildren will live in freedom as
I hope that all people will."

Or perhaps you are referring to this video of Barry Goldwater's in a
1964 election ad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwJHg9UBNPE, where
Kruschev is shown with subtitles. I am no Russian expert, but what
Kruschev says and the subtitles do not appear to match, although the
subtitles match what you say ("We will bury you. Your children will be
Communists.") Goldwater was famous for the stump speech that included
the lines "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me
remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no
virtue." Mistranslating what Kruschev said for effect would have been
the least of his worries.

Here's what someone who was actually at the UN -- and was responsible
for translations -- says;
http://web.archive.org/web/20050307190332/http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.studies.literature.slavic/2220

<quote>

If I may add a little oil to troubled waters - or fuel to the fire.

I was Chief of the English Interpretation Section of the U.N. in New
York from 1980 to 1994, and have previously had occasion to attempt to
track down chapter and verse in connection with the Khrushchev shoe-
banging episode. It was a little like trying to locate the other end
of a rainbow; no one but a leprechaun ever found a crock of gold
there.

1) Not only was Khrushchev never given the floor on that occasion,
but delegations' desks were not equipped with microphones at that
time. Hence, whatever Russian words he may have uttered to accompany
his percussive tantrum are lost to history - although not to
impressionistic second - and third-hand reconstructions - and for the
reasons given above, neither should nor could have been interpreted
into English, or any of the other U.N.official languages for that
matter.

2) This point is corroborated by the response of Harold Macmillan, the
U.K. Prime Minister at the time, who was noisily interrupted twice by
Khrushchev on another occasion during the same 1960 Session of the
General
Assembly. At the time of the interruption Macmillan was speaking from
the rostrum of the G.A. and was in possession of the floor and the
only live microphone in the hall. After the second outburst,
Macmillan turned towards the President of the Assembly, Ambassador
Bolan of Ireland and said: "I should like that to be translated if he
wants to say anything." Clearly, it had not been.

Macmillan had been deploring the failure of the Paris summit
meeting of the "Big Four" which had been aborted owing to
Khrushchev's walk-out in protest at the lack of an official apology
from President Eisenhower for the U -2 incident. The official Soviet
version of Khrushchev's first attempt at heckling which was issued
the following day was: "Don't send your spy planes to our country!
Don't send your U-2s!"

3) On another occasion at the same Session when Khrushchev was
formally in possession of the floor and the microphone, he did indeed
call the Philippine Ambassador inter alia a "kholui" and a
"stavlennik". An older
colleague who had been responsible for the Russian -English
interpretation at that meeting told me that he had said "jerk" for
"kholui" and "stooge" 'for "stavlennik". Khrushchev may or may not
have also used "lakei" in the same tirade.

4) The source of the apocryphal notion that it was on one of these
occasions at the 1960 U.N. General Assembly that Khrushchev used the
expression " Ya pokazhy vam kuzkinu mat, " may have been his own
memoirs
where he writes that he took a Philippine delegate severely to task,
telling him, in an English version, "You'd better watch out, or we'll
show you Kuzma's mother!" . His memories of what he said and did on
various occasions have not always proved entirely reliable.

5) For purposes of simultaneous interpretation - as distinct from
literary or other kinds of translation - discretion is always the
better part of valour and it is always advisable not put to fine a
point on utterances which are liable to give offence, something which,
in any case, is not always an easy thing to recognise in the heat of
battle! Whatever the etymology or origin of the expression, it seems
to have come to mean the verbal equivalent of shaking one's fist and
the somewhat open-ended "We'll show you!" would do the trick without
over-committing the hapless interpreter.

The endless medieval disputations about "my vas pokhoronim" [we shall
bury you] also seem to lose sight of the fact that on the notorious
occasion[s] when it was uttered, the interpreter's English version was
the product of simultaneous interpretation and not of pondered
translation. The implication is that the interpreter should have said
something different or "better". "We will bury you" is not at all a
bad rendering of the original. The unwary interpreter who strays too
far from the literal in the course of heated debate is in something of
a "lose-lose badly" situation. If he or she says "bury" for
"pokhoronim", Monday morning translators may tell him/her loftily that
it should have been "outlive" or "survive". If he/she says "outlive"
or "survive" and another participant in the meeting then reacts to the
Soviet/Russian delegate's remark, the original Russian speaker may
hear through the reverse, English to Russian, interpretation that he
is understood
to have said "perezhit," or "vyzhit," when in fact he said
"pokhoronit" and he will then, not entirely unresasonably, pillory
the unfortunate interpreter for "not knowing how to translate a simple
Russian word like
'pokhoronit' ". The complexities are endless.

Like politics, simultaneous interpretation is the art of the possible,
often in trying and even well-nigh impossible circumstances. To the
extent that translation is an art rather than a science, there is
practically no translation of a word, expression or phrase than cannot
be second-guessed, even when it has been pondered in tranquillity. As
any practitioner of the art can tell you, a rough-hewn, lame, halting
or even deficient translation can in context be a heroic feat of
simultaneous interpretation.

For the last time, you did not see Khruschev on TV banging his shoe in
1960. It was not transmitted live (why would it be?) and he did not
have the podium with the only microphone when the reported shoe-
banging event took place. *No-one is claiming that the UN was not
televised in Khruschev's day. It's a false memory, but I think in your
case it's not age related. You would be quite happy to claim you had
spoken to Khruschev about his lack of religion, taken bible study
classes with Roosevelt, and translated Russian to English at the UN
during the period in question if it advanced your lunatic cause.

I was 14 in 1960 and I did see a news thing on TV I would not have
seen it any other way. I cant tell you what he was saying nor can I
tell you what he was doing. but it was k. shouting and red faced and
there was a shoe on the table. So I suspect this was afterward. I had

Occult-befuddled nutcases often "see" things in their imaginations
after the hear about the events: there's a diagnostic code and a
phrase for the illness but damned it I can recall what it is.

"Conflate" is a term, not particularly an insulting one, for the human
brain's habit of summarizing related memories as if they happened
together when they didn't. Normal people do this all the time too.

I think there was a study where the same functionally normal people were
asked the same question at an interval of years -- "what were you doing
when [major historical event] happened?" Everyone had clear, vivid
memories but some of them changed to different clear, vivid memories over
the years.

One of the most famous studies in this respect was the "Disney study"
by Pickrell and Loftus. People wee shown a "fake advert" featuring
Bugs Bunny and Disneyland. A significant number later claimed to have
seen Bugs Bunny when they had been visiting Disneyland as children,
including memories that they shook his hand etc - but Bugs is of
course a Warner character.

Ronald Reagan once told about something that happened to him as a
paratrooper in WW2 when their plane was hit and his captain heroically
stayed with a wounded soldier. Turned out that this was from a movie,
"on a wing and a prayer".

With the Shoe event, similar things are at play: people have seen
later thee type of photoshopped picture, and also cameo reenactments
in films, and build this into their memory.

Most relevant for this thread is research done by the
interdisciplinary centre for Memory research in Bielefeld. They look
in particular at wartime memories. For instance, many survivors of the
Dresden bombing tell stories of being shot at by low flying aircraft -
physically impossible ue to the thermals, and also no recorded by
either side. A false but very deeply believed false memory, and people
got very angry when challenged by the researchers on this, giving more
and more details of the remembered events.

The lead researcher in this project also wrote another very
interesting paper for the purpose of this thread:
Harald Welzer: The collatoral damage of enlightenment: How
grandchildren understand the history of national socialist crimes and
their grandfather's Past. In: Laurel Cohen-Pfister & Dagmar Wienroeder-
Skinner (eds.). Victims and Perpetrators 1933-1945.. Berlin, New York:
Walter de Gruyte

He showed how children and grandchildren of Nazis had false memories,
often of events that actually happened before their birth, that showed
the actions of their parents/grandparents in a much better light than
they had been - e.g. events of opposition against the Nazi regime (I
_remember_ him challenging the SS guard)These are genuinely held
memories. Welzer explains them on the one hand by verbal accounts they
have been given as little children, stories etc. But also an attempt
of the brain to resolve the cognitive dissonance between "the person
they know" (kind and sweet grandpa) and the information they get
about the past that challenges this picture. No intentional deception,
the brain does this all on its own - lesson:eyewitnesses, even when
recounting their own past (Reagan) ar5e unreliable, go with the
documentary evidence when in doubt.

One reason that I was alerted to this "memory" of seeing K. pounding
his shoe is that I had the same memory myself, and then was corrected.
(Or, at least, I have a memory of being corrected. :)) Apparently, a lot
of people think that they saw, on television, K. pounding his shoe.

This is especially relevant to t.o, because of the common complaint
from creationists that there were no eye-witnesses to events of the
distant past, as if eye-witness reports were the most reliable, when
they are often quite unreliable.

In retrospect, I'd thought that was an early symptom of Alzheimer's. But
surely Reagan was still together enough to recall that he hadn't BEEN a
paratrooper, or anything but a PR guy, during the war. So probably just a
creative speechwriter's metaphor that barely qualifies as a lie.

From "Way Out There in the Blue: Reagan, Star Wars, and the End of the
Cold War", by Frances Fitzgerald, at Google Books,
(the URL should be one line -)
http://books.google.com/books?id=nv2v0fCAONwC&pg=PA22&lpg=PA22&
dq=reagan+movie+%22medal+of+honor%22&source=bl&ots=BKXgqk5bgA&

22medal%20of%20honor%22&f=false

(page 22)
<quote>
Speaking to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society in December 1983,
he <Reagan> told a World War II story of a B-17 captain whose plane
had been hit and who was unable to drag his wounded young ball-turret
gunner out of the turret; instead of parachuting to safety with the rest
of his crew, the captain took the frightened boy's hand and said, "Never
mind, son, we'll ride it down together." Reagan concluded by telling the
society that the captain had been posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
But no such person existed: the story came from the 1946 movie 'A Wing
and a Prayer'.
</quote>

(page 58)
<quote>
In his speeches Reagan told countless stories of individual heroism
and, occasionally, villainy, some of them from the movies, some of them
apocryphal. In the 1980s commentators politely assumed that he believed
these stories to be true - and possibly he did by then, But in the
fifties he narrated movie plots as true stories not long after the
movies came out. For example, he used the story about the heroic B-17
captain from the 1946 movie 'A Wing and a Prayer' in a commencement
address he made in 1952. Since he had an excellent memory, it is
reasonable to assume that he knew the story was a fiction but just
did not care - accuracy being unimportant where moral certainty and
the Truth were concerned.
</quote>

I'm not sure Fitzgerald has that last part exactly right, but there
was certainly something wrong with Reagan's attitude toward actual
facts; it was as if he just didn't grasp the concept at all.

What a dreadful propensity you have for making stuff up, Miss Mitty.
You managed to generate this false memory between Aug 11 and Aug 15.

It seems a poor excuse to me. Acting is not lying.

What I just said was not about the details about
Khruschev, I was veritying for Y.O.O., who had
claimed that someone was lying if they said that
the UN was televised, that it was indeed televised.
Others also did not think that it was, and the fact
that it was, they could not find. So I provided the
proof by showing them the archived answer from
CBS which carried the transmission "live" from
the UN.

Yes it was! That's what I was showing. And why
would you ask why it would be? It was a phenominal
thing to see.

According to CBS TV archives, it has been televised
"live" since 1949.

Now, wait. You have missed something. I said in
another post that Andre could be right that there
were two incidents that people may be rolling into
one event in their minds. So we are not talking
about whether he banged his shoe at the same
time that he said "we will bury you." We are talking
about just seeing Khruschev's actions, period, from
the UN, and it's being televised. Whether he did
those things at the same time or not, he did do
both of those things.
>
The individual microphone and earphones at the
seats of the delegates at the table, had a different
set of translators than the ones that were needed
when a delegate wanted to address everyone at
the General Assembly meeting of the UN. If the
chair recognized a delegate, then he usually would
go to the podium (lecturn) so that the translation to
the listening audiences all over the world (each in
their native tongues) could be spoken to in their
own country's language feed transmission. It was
like watching Pentecost happen, but with translators
and microphones.

Yes, several have claimed this.

No. A false memory is something that
never happened. I was telling about two
things that did happen. Khruschev did
hold a shoe in his hand, and wave it, and
possibly bang it, and he also did say
"We will bury you."

Now you are making fun of me for saying that
I spoke to V.B. about what he believed. That
was the truth. If you don't accept it, that's your
loss. The point was that salvation is the work
of the Holy Spirit, who can speak to people
through his followers. This is shown through
a lot of verses, among them being this one:
------------
Mark 13:11:
"But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak,
neither do ye premeditate; but whatsoever shall
be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is
not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost."

President Roosevelt had died some years

It took a long time in human history for the concept of raw fact to
become important. The Gospel writers seem not to have had the concept,
for example.

Because when you are dealing with facts there is no belief involved.
Facts do not require you to believe in them, you just accept them or
look stupid by trying to deny them.

You now accept he is correct and that you were wrong.

Nobody claimed that the UN was not televised sometimes. Very rarely,
when some special event was going on, it even made the news.

> that it was indeed televised.
>Others also did not think that it was, and the fact

CBS claims (incorrectly by the way) that they were the first to do a
few live transmissions from the UN general assembly. Of course, the
BBC did it at least three years earlier but then most people seem to
forget that the UN first started its meetings in London.

However, during the 50s, 60s and even well into the 70s, there was no
permanent TV presence in the UN. There was certainly NO live
transmission of Khrushchev's shoe banging and in fact there was not

Well, yes, he did bang his shoe during a UN meeting. No television or
film camera was present at the time, nor indeed does a still camera
picture exist of the event.

Correct. Your false memory is that you watched it live on TV.

But no cameras, TV, film or still, recorded it. You did not see it
happen live on TV as you claimed, you did not even see it recorded and
shown on the news.

That is a mistranslation of what he said, years earlier and thousands
of miles from the UN.

This story always reminds me of an interview I saw about 20 years
ago with a smiling-faced girl of about 15 dressed in the battle
fatigues of the Tamil Tigers. She told the story of another
Tiger, from memory also a young girl, who when wounded and out of
ammunition pulled the pin from a grenade and lay on it, until a
Sri Lankan soldier turned her body over and was of course killed
by the exploding grenade. The thing I find almost as bizarre as
the concept that someone could distort and twist a young mind
with such evil propaganda, is that no one apparently thought to
ask: just who did they think was the witness to verify this
barbaric fiction? ...

Yes, it looks that way to me, too, from the comparison
with the other photo which you have provided. I'm basing
this on what is underneath his left hand (the one on the
papers) because the left hand is resting on a lot of
papers in one photo and significantly less in the other
photo. Thank you for your comparison photo, and I
do agree with you about the one where he is holding up
the shoe appearing to be a doctored up photo.

One with that title, yes.
But have you read the synopsis?
it's about a carrier touring the Pacific,
so it is unlikely to have a B-17 in it.
The year makes heroically going down unlikely too:
during the war Americans wanted to see their heros come home,

You know what you make me think of? Years ago,
my relatives use to look at soap operas on TV,
and I would hear them talking about them. I'd
ask about this one that he died, and that one that
had died in the story. They would then tell me
that the writers had them come back to life, and
they would have explained the earlier departure
away so they could bring that actor back to the
story line. You sound like you can write yourself

OTOH it is quite possible that strafing
(by American Mustang escort fighters)
has occurred on the roads just outside Dresden.
Wiki gives
===
According to an RAF webpage on the history of RAF Bomber Command,
"part of the American Mustang-fighter escort was ordered to strafe
traffic on the roads around Dresden to increase the chaos and disruption
to the important transportation network in the region."[61] Historian
Gotz Berganger asserted in Dresden Im Luftkrieg (1977) that tales of
civilians being strafed by the Mustangs were untrue.[62] However,
British historian Alexander McKee in Dresden 1945 (1982) quotes
eyewitnesses (Gerhard Kuhnemund, Annemarie Waehmann etc.) who state that
strafing did occur.[63] Taylor in Dresden, (2004) basing most of his
analysis on the work of Berganger and Helmut Schnatz, concludes that no
strafing took place, although some stray bullets from an aerial dog
fight may have hit the ground and been mistaken for strafing by those in
the vicinity.[64]
===

In general, the fighter escort was often under orders
to use their unused ammo on anything they might think useful.
(airfields, all forms of transport)
Lots of gun camera footage of it survives.

Strafing in the bombed area is very unlikely indeed.
No sane pilot would risk flying in all that perturbed air.

You do not believe in facts, you accept them. Belief isn't an option.

belief
n noun
1 an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one
without proof. Øa firmly held opinion or conviction. Øa religious
conviction.
2 (belief in) trust or confidence in.

PHRASES
beyond belief astonishing; incredible.

ORIGIN
Middle English: alteration of Old English geleafa; cf.
believe.

Now, since you have been given proof, you have been shown the facts,
belief is not the right word. You believe in your fictional deity, you
accept of acknowledge facts - there is a real difference.

Progress! A small step, but a significant one, because what you're
agreeing to is that the evidence suggests the photo is doctored. And
that there's no other evidence of the shoe banging taking place at the
podium; in fact, the reverse.

Unlike you I do not work with fiction - I prefer reality.

Unlike you I try to check my facts before posting. Because you don't
you keep making a fool of yourself as you have in this case.

The facts are:-

1) Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, former General Secretary of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union, never said "We will bury you."

2) The expression frequently mistranslated into English as "We will
bury you!" was made in Moscow on November 18th 1956. The real
translation, in context, was "Whether you like it or not, history is
on our side. We will dig you in" and actually referred to communism
taking over from capitalism.

3) The shoe banging incidence took place during the 902nd Plenary
Meeting of the UN General Assembly held in New York on 12 October
1960. That is four years and many thousands of miles away.

4) Neither incidence/speech/event was recorded on film or TV.

5) Neither incidence/speech/event was transmitted live on television
by any channel anywhere in the world.


Your memory, as is so often the case, is faulty.

That is not what he said. The event you refer to wasn't televised. It
didn't even happen as you "remembered" it.

It did not carry that event live from the UN. The event as you

The evidence indicates otherwise. In fact, you (and others who have
done some basic research on your behalf) have demonstrated that the
event you claim to have seen *never happened* and was *not televised
live*.

You are just making stuff up again. In the 1960s, there were no
microphones at each delegate's table.

Fair enough about the B-17 part. Snopes has this -
http://www.snopes.com/glurge/military/ridedown.asp :
<quote>
We can verify that the tale was incorporated into the 1944 film Wing
and a Prayer, although with some substantial differences from the way
it was later told:
- The setting is a torpedo-bombing run made against Japanese ships in
the Pacific by carrier-based planes, not a bombing raid launched
against German land targets from an airfield in England.
- The gunner is unable to bail out of the damaged plane because he has
suffered an injury to his legs, not because he is trapped in a stuck
turret.

"We'll take this ride together."

What disappoints us is your refusal to admit that your 'memory' is
false. With all the evidence that has been provided, a normal person
would have admitted she was in error several days ago.

If you understood the posts you would see that he has maintained that
_those particular events_ that you falsely remember were televised. In
that he is correct and the evidence has been shown to you. He has not
claimed that some sessions were not telivised.

In light of all the evidence that those events were _not_ televised,
how can you still insist that you saw it? I just have to visit your

Indeed. But, due to the willful godbotist lobotomy that Suzanne has
given herself, she seems to be unable to notice that facts TRUMP
"beliefs".

That's reason #241 of why she is a demented loon. Self made.

You can read a list of the ten top things that people
think happen that didn't happen and get a large draw
of people that are wrong, of course. But...you also
can have a tremendous amount of people, far more
than would be on a top ten list, that think that a thing
really did happen that *really did* happen. There's a
whole lot of a whole lot of people that say they do
remember Khruschev banged his shoe on the table.
All I'm telling you, Tom, is that if there is no proof
that anyone can find of it, that still doesn't mean that
it didn't happen.

I don't know about what some Creationists do, but I
think most would have it in mind to show that the
person's whole belief system is not based solely on
evidence, but that underneath it all could be a primise
that is not accurate. That, in turn, would produce a
way of thinking that is like a shirt that gets misbuttoned
at the very onset of buttoning the shirt.

You, and they, have been proven wrong. Learn to live with reality.

NASA inherited three major centres from the NACA. They existed as NASA
centres for nearly two years before the MSFC became part of NASA.
Those are the facts that neither you, nor the MSFC, can deny. You
can't change history and history proves you wrong.

It was not televised live, it was not even televised as a recording.
We know this because it is a matter of record. There were no TV
cameras there. There were no film cameras there. Even the
photographers missed the event.

Those are the facts. Learn to live with them.

Creationism has zero evidence to support it.

Evolution has a mountain of evidence to support it.

Evolution is science.

Creationism is superstitious nonsense.

The problem is that you have been equating "first field center" with
being the first facility of NASA. In fact at one point you claimed
that initially Marshall was NASA. The NASA site clearly says that
there were other facilities prior to Marshall in 1960 but those were
designated as Research Centers. So it appears that you should ask
NASA what a Field Center is and how it differs from a Research Center
and whether a field center is more significant than a research center.

I can't speak for NASA but at my old company we had research centers
and field centers. The research centers were typically Labs often in
heavily populated cities where a lot of the science was done along
with prototypes and small scale models. The field centers were where
a lot lab work was scaled up to full size equipment and tested.

Field centers were often used to test things that couldn't be tested
in the lab. Sometimes because if things went wrong, they blew up, we
didn't want to destroy the lab or a city block. The Field center was
out in the boonies and had places designed to contain things that went
wrong.

So I have no trouble believing that Marshall was the first field
center, just not the first NASA facility and probably no where near
the significance that you are trying to attach to it.

Yes, that is my understanding. However, the way it was translated made

That's interesting and very amusing the way you put
it. There are people that do make compromises in
order that they be accepted by a certain crowd. I've
been there and done that and can remember. I don't
feel good about making compromises just so that
people will like me. I think it cheats them in the long
run if I do that, and that it also cheats me as well.

Harry, the shoe banging incident was broadcast *live*
on TV during the UN General Assembly. So far no
one has been able to locate a video made from the event, but the CBS
archives tells that they had *live* broadcasts of the UN (Gen.
Assembly) since 1949.
>
I believed that Khruschev did both at the same time,
the shoe banging and saying "We will bury you." Andre
pointed out that I was wrong and that it was two
separate incidents, 4 years apart, and I accept that
I could be wrong about them being together, and what
information Andre presented sounds right to me.
(two websites in wikipedia indicating the two separate
occasions). Wikipedia, though, is made on the concept
that two heads are better than one at remembering
things, and even that more than two heads are even
better than one, if they can be verified, of course. It
has made corrections; it is always open to the influence
of someone that can show a need for having it edited.
It tells that Khruschev said the "we will bury you" speech
at a Yugoslavian embassy in Moscow, and it also tells
that he made that speech in Yugoslavia, in another place in
Wikipedia.

Alex contributed that two photos, one with Khruschev's right fist up
in the air, and the other with same exact photo, but with a shoe in
his fisted hand (looks like a house slipper), and he says that the one
with the shoe is a fake. I'm not a photo expert, but I believe he is
correct because of the difference with the left hand in each photo
being on different amounts of notes. I agree it's faked. There are
some videos in you tube dot com showing what his left hand is resting
on during that speech, and you can see that the photo without him
holding up the shoe is the correct one, based again on the amount of
papers (notes) that his left hand is resting upon in both the still
two photos and also on the videos. But he is supposed to have made
three speeches on tha day, or in close proximity to one another at the
same session, but on a different day. But in the videos he is wearing
the same medium toned
suit (black and white photo) and light tie. In some videos
he is seen at the right end of a table, and in other videos he is seen
on the left end of a table, and the
videos are not flopped, because it is *his* right hand
that he raises in both of them. I also, personally, never
put a date on either event that we are speaking of,
so I am going by what Andre says that the dates are.
>
My basic memory of the shoe banging incident is
that it happened when he was sitting at the tables,
and not at the lecturn. According to wikipedia via
Andre's contribution, that occasion would be 1960.
By the way, in one photo, what is on top of the
stand that is within the framework of the speakers'
platform, the lecturn is askew to the framework,
with the edges of it not perpendicular or parallel
to the side frameworks. In one photo at least, the
top of the lecturn where the notes are, there is a
reflection, as though it were some kind of glass,
or even tile. If it were glass, it would not be likely
that anyone would pound on it with a shoe anyway.
I am not saying that it is glass, only that in one
photo, it looks like a slight reflection is present.
You can see these later things I mention in the
two photos that Alex provided that are alike
except for a shoe being in Khruschev's hand in
one of them. When looking at a faked photo,
of course, it helps also to have an idea of where
a shadow should fall, and in that case it's helpful
to figure out where the light source is coming
from by looking at other shadows in the photos.

If you don't mind me saying this Harry, my opinion is
that he did use physics in what he did because the
lecture that I went to that I have told people about,
had to do with how the three stage rockets would be
fueled. His lecture was on the half life of Uranium
235 in the cyclotron, and how there would be some
isotopes that remain after a certain process, and
they would be both radioactive and stable so that
they would be usable in order to provide the big
payload needed to get the rocket off the ground
and to have the thrust that it needed to propel it
into outer space. You see, a rocket can't just be
filled up with fuel and then take off, like an airplane
does. It has to have a process, I believe, where
some of the fuel is actually continually being made
as it is in the process of lifting off and pushing
towards outer space. The U-235 provided that way.
I believe this is why the field of physics considers
that being a being a rocket engineer is a special
science, and not just one of engineering. This is
why Von Braun was awarded our National Science
Award. You see, if a rocket was just filled up with
enough liquid fuel only that was required to lift it
and propel it all the way to outer space, it would
be too heavy to lift off the ground, unless there
was a way where fuel could be continually being
made until it got to outer space.

I think that his meaning was that he believed that
Communism would outlive Capitalism, and that
what you just said serves that meaning exactly.
We will bury you is more of a literal kind of
translation because his actual words were that
they would "dig (us) in." He realized later after
the reaction to his words that what he had said
was stronger in connotation than what he had
intended it to mean and corrected the notion,
saying that he didn't mean that they would
actually bury us literally. I think he was meaning
that he did not intend it as a threat, which is the
way some took it, but that he meant it as his
belief that Communism would still be there
when the last people who were Capitalists died
off or no longer existed.

Nononononono. They made their first live broadcast from the UN in the
late 40s. The made many since. But they are rare, used to cover
special events that are planned in advance.

This could happen this way, but about Jesus, you know Paul
was not a Christian when Jesus was living his life on earth.
He refers to the hundreds who were eyewitnesses as to who
Jesus was in passages that he has written. But there are many
extra-biblical sources that speak of Jesus being a real person,
about whom these events are real. You might be interested

The gospel writers had hundreds of people that they
spoke to that were eyewitness accounts, so they didn't
have just raw facts, they had hundreds of testimonies
to go by. Jesus was seen by hundreds after he was
resurrected. Extra-biblical accounts testify to the
events that took place.

I did see him bang his shoe, *live" on TV. So did
my mother and a lot of other people, and we all
discussed it. Why are you making such a huge issue

It was not a mistranslation it was close to
being a literal translation since in the Russian
language he used the words "dig (you) in,"
which means a funeral, and therefore burying
someone. But the connotation of it meant
that he believed Communism would still be
there when the last Capitalist had died or
no longer existed.

I do not believe "in" facts, I believe facts. When
a person IN ENGLISH which is what I speak

the sun came up. Now, if you don't like that,

two separate incidents, and that I have said

And there you go again.

Did I suggest that K. did not pound his shoe on the table?

Is there anyone here who says that if it isn't on live TV, then it
doesn't happen?

Let me suggest that, if one wants to communicate with others, then
one ought to take the trouble not to impute to others what they did
not say.

Your words, after being given the facts, were "I believe that he is
correct about that."

Do you accept that the facts show you were wrong?

You, Suzanne, are a bare faced unmitigated liar. You have been shown,
by many different people, that this is a FALSE memory you have. You
did not watch it live on TV, nobody did, in fact nobody could. It was
not televised live, it was not recorded by TV or film and shown later,
it was not even photographed.

Because it is another example of your stupidity. The sort of stupidity
that may well have been shared by early christians who gullibly accept
the fairy stories they were fed.

He thought, wrongly, that capitalism would fall. But his speech was in
Russia, four years earlier, was not televised or recorded and did not
involve any shoe banging whatsoever.

that I WAS RIGHT and that YOU WERE WRONG.

Sorry, Bob, but the primary authority on Christianity
is Jesus. He said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born
again." Nicodemus questioned him about what he
meant by what he was saying by replying, "Can a
man enter again into his mother's womb?" Jesus
essentially said that in order to become a Christian
a spiritual thing has to take place within a person,
and it is something they basically have to do
themselves in the form of a decision. Here's the
story from a modern version, the NKJV...
John 3:1-21:
1 After dark one evening, a Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus,
a Pharisee, 2 came to speak with Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "we all
know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are
proof enough that God is with you." 3 Jesus replied, "I assure you,
unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God." 4
"What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back
into his mother's womb and be born again?" 5 Jesus replied, "The truth
is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water
and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy
Spirit gives new life from heaven. 7 So don't be surprised at my
statement that you must be born again. 8 Just as you can hear the wind
but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't
explain how people are born of the Spirit." 9 "What do you mean?"
Nicodemus asked. 10 Jesus replied, "You are a respected Jewish
teacher, and yet you don't understand these things? 11 I assure you, I
am telling you what we know and have seen, and yet you won't believe
us. 12 But if you don't even believe me when I tell you about things
that happen here on earth, how can you possibly believe if I tell you
what is going on in heaven? 13 For only I, the Son of Man, have come
to earth and will return to heaven again. 14 And as Moses lifted up
the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so I, the Son of Man,
must be lifted up on a pole, 15. so that everyone who believes in me
will have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave
his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but
have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn it, but to save it. 18 "There is no judgment awaiting those
who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged
for not believing in the only Son of God. 19 Their judgment is based
on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they
loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.
20 They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They
stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they
will be punished. 21 But those who do what is right come to the light
gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants."

Your answers are just denials. Christian churches believe
what Christ taught. Univerities, whether you like it or not,
recognize rocket engineering as being a science, and in
a special category in physics. And I did not ask you *who*
are the other Christians that you say you have had trouble
with, I asked you *where* they are, meaning that you have
run them off.

Would you care to explain just what in the H E doulbe toothpicks you

Yes, they apparently did. FOR OCCASIONAL, SPECIAL events. How in the

beyond belief. The session you "remember" falsely was NOT broadcast.

Yes, you are lying. At first you weren't as you thought your memory
was correct. It has been proven to you repeatedly and ad nauseum that
it is a false memory. To continue to insist on it is outright lies.

This is not a grammar flame, everyone uses it wrong these days, but it
grates on my ears to hear that construction. The correct version is
"If I _were_ not here..." The subjunctive mood. It must have dropped

On the contrary. One has to believe the facts are true

No, I don't just blindly accept facts because the facts
could be misleading. I had other reasons in addition

separate dates.

What do you think that I accept and what do you think

Also, I don't think that you mean that you accept facts.
I think you mean to say that you accept evidence.
For example. Suppose that you knew nothing about
electricity and how it works, and you wanted me to
explain to you why the light comes on overhead. Then
I tell you wrong, but nevertheless you see what you
think is evidence. I tell you, incorrectly, that the light
comes on because the switch has a string on it that
goes to the light on the ceiling, but inside of the
roof where you can't see it, and it turns on a switch
on the light above. You see the light come on when
I throw the switch, so you easily could assume that
some false information is real. You can have false
information that appears to be real.
>
Now, suppose that after you believe the wrong
information, someone comes along and says to you,
"Well, they were trying to tell you what they thought,
but actually they did not tell you really how electricity
works. Then they explain it the correct way. Now you
have two ways having been told to you that you have
to choose from. So you choose one of them. When
you do that, you have believed one of them. What
you think is true is something that you have chosen
to believe. So, you did not go by just facts, or even
evidence. You went by what you believed to be true.

A fictional character cannot teach. What you mean is that churches
believe what their founders wanted them to believe.

There are many different religions that call themselves christian. The
biggest, the Roman Catholics, recognize as christian any person who is
born of a catholic parent or someone baptized by a catholic. The
Anglican faith also recognizes the same criteria but does allow people
to quite in later life (the catholics count you forever).

Hardly. Most rocket engineering involves metallurgy and chemistry.

Well, a few, like McClueless, did end up running away "tail between

Of course, I can't take the full credit, lots of other people put a
lot of effort in as well.

Wayyyyyyyy beyond pathetic. She makes so many errors in such a short
post it is amazing.

Added to which I can find not record of WvB giving such a lecture, nor
can I see why he would. The half life of Uranium 235 in a cyclotron is
exactly the same as its half life anywhere else. And why he would even
raise the concept of a cyclotron is beyond me.

I think it is just another one of her lies. If she ever attended a
lecture by him, and I doubtful on that, it was one on rockets. There
may have been a mention that, one day, he hoped nuclear powered
rockets could be made, but that is about all.

Oh? But you were so sure - after all you had SEEN it with your own

You were wrong in saying that Khrushchev said "we will bury you", live
on TV, while banging his shoe on the table.

Neither event, separated by four years and many thousands of miles,
was seen by anyone not in the rooms at the time.

You have given no facts there, Added to which such switches do exist,
usually to isolate you from very high voltages - although usually
switching is done with solenoids.

I would not do that, I would investigate the facts. You, on the other
hand, always reject facts in favour of lies.

CBS archives say that since 1949, the UN was televised
*live." I am giving proof and you are saying that you have
evidence that it was not broadcast. You have not provided
evidence that it was not broadcast, except to say that it
wasn't broadcast. You say that people looked it up in my
behalf, and they have nothing to show for it. Then you tell
me to believe the "evidence." The absence of evidence, is
not evidence. I've given more evidence that it happened,
than you guys have given.

But the absence of evidence is not evidence.
This is the same kind of reasoning that came about
of late, that says that George Washington really
didn't chop down the cherry tree because they can
find no evidence that he did."

Well, Harry. Do you want me to lie to you and say
that I no longer believe what I remember about
seeing Khruschev banging his shoe on the table?
You say that you want the truth. That is the truth.
And there has been no evidence provided to me.
The lack of evidence, is not evidence.

Harry, reading between the words that I am supposedly
a fool and a moron and all the things he throws at me,
I see hostility and a person that is not interested in the
truth at all. Seems to be making it up as he goes along.
He started with it not even being recorded, then went
to it's being that it was not broadcast *live* then when
shown the proof, suddenly it turns into intermittent
broadcasts, and then partial broadcasts, and then the
claim that this event could not have possibly been one
of the transmissions. He does not give proof of any of
his claims, concerning the UN events.

There is no proof that these events were not televised.
No one has prevented anything. It's like the story of
the Emperor's New Clothes. The absence of evidence,
is not evidence. On the other hand, you have some
evidence that it was telecast and done so *live*
according to the CBS archives that say that it was
broadcast *live* since 1949, and you have tons of
people that also say they saw it live.

She is most probably thinking of this 1964 Goldwater political ad.

Very similar content.
It was broadcast ad nauseam.

Do you have a link to that?
More importantly, does the archive indicate that the shoe banging
incident was televised? Nobody disputes that _ some_ UN meetings were
broadcast.

You are mostly correct that _he_ hasn't. Too bad that numerous others
_have_ proved dthat those particular sessions were not broadcast.

I repeat that a FEW sessions were televised live back then but only a
few. The ones under discussion weren't. That proof has been shown to
you _repeatedly_ but you continue spewing outright lies about it.

Look in the mirror and repeat that to yourself. You have shown no
proof that they were tv'd. Your memory (that has been shown to be
false many times over the years) is not proof.

1. "Using physics" is engineering, not science.

2. There has never been a rocket launched that used U235 (or any
radioactive) source as part of the fuel process. The only rockets
ever launched AFAIK that carried radioactive subsances were ones with
atomic warheads (and I don't know if any of them were acturally
launched) plus one that had some sort of electrict generator powered
by atomics (?Helios?). A wold wide uproar went on about it before it
was launched.

3. From the first rocket launched until today _every_ rocket launched
has carried it's full fuel load. NONE is manufactured in flight.

No proof of that. CBS archives says they began
telecasts of the UN *live* since 1949. Thousands
of people say that they do remember seeing this.
You can't find proof of it, therefore it doesn't

Sheesh. It was a slightly roundabout way for Suzanne to admit she was
mistaken. No offense Suzanne but you are a bit of a loon, but on this,
you admitted your error, so people should cut you some slack.

Andre, you have provided some evidence.
I appreciate that. I haven't discarded it and
I will remember it. There has to be more
proof, though that there was no televised
edition of the UN when Khruschev pounded
his shoe, since so many people say that they
saw it happen, including me. Dont' let it upset
you, and hang on to what you think is right.
It's all right if someone doesn't agree with you,
it's not the end of the world. Sometimes people
will just have to agree to disagree.

It is not a case of what he "thinks" is right. You have been given the
FACTS. There was no television transmission, live or recorded - end of

Yes you are. You made a mistake, it was corrected by several people
and the facts were explained to you. If you now continue to claim what
you did then it is called lying.

No, it says that they did broadcast live in 1949.

I've also asked you to tell me where from and exactly what was
broadcast.

From
http://www.un.org/av/unfamily/radio.html#

"From 1950 to 1959, UN Radio broadcast for more than six hours daily
in 33 languages with some 100 countries and territories rebroadcasting
its programmes on a regular basis.

During the period of 1960 to 1979, UN Radio programmes consisted of: -
shortwave transmissions of the proceedings of meetings at UN
Headquarters for rebroadcast or monitoring by national organizations;
- shortwave broadcasting of news bulletins in the six official
languages; and - provision of news bulletins, news summaries, features
and documentary programmes in 33 languages to 162 countries and
territories. For shortwave broadcasts of proceedings and of news
summaries, UN Radio utilized transmitters leased from France,
Switzerland, Italy and the United States. In 1963, facilities were
obtained on transmitters with considerably greater power and

The UN, curiously, makes no claim to live tv broadcast in 1960. Their
primary broad cast medium seems to have been radio, and more recently
webcasts.

Perhaps you should contact them, and show them the error of their

The title page (and a sample page)
of von Braun's Dr. phil. (aka PhD) thesis can be seen at
<http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent
=EUR&screen=lotdetailsNoFlash&iSaleItemNo=3761796&iSaleNo=15425#>

The line between engineering and physics is a vague one.
Your insistence that Von Braun should be called an engineer
throughhout his working life is meaningless.

BTW, his thesis turned out to be worth $33.000 at auction.
Very few physicist will do better than that.
Usually an old thesis isn't worth the paper it is printed upon,

Harry, I'm doing well to remember this much
because I didn't know higher kinds of physics
and this kind was really, really advanced. I did
know about the cyclotron, though and how it
works. The class was mostly about the action
in the cyclotron, but we did speak briefly about
theories of big rocket travel. He wanted to get
a rocket to the moon, but it was a long way off.
This was like in the late '50's, Harry. Sputnik
had been put into orbit in about 57, and the
year was about, I think, close to '59. I don't
remember if we had put up out first satellite
yet, but I think that was in '58. I don't know if
the University would have a record of it, but
if I can figure out who to call, I was thinking
about doing that because I'm curious about
it, too, and want to know more about the
class. Somebody is bound to have taken
notes, if I could just find out who. I'll let you
know.

The more you expand on this "class" the more I'm convinced you are

It sounds like the lecture wasn't by Doctor Wernher von Braun, but by

And still arbitrary in many cases.
Things start out as science, and become engineering

For contrast you may note that
not even all participants at the Wannsee conference
turned out to have been war criminals.

My colleagues in the College for Science and Engineering would disagree
with that characterisation.
"The School of engineering "Engineering has a long history at The
University of Edinburgh since the formation of the Regius Chair in 1868,
spanning over 130 years of RESEARCH and development." The school, was
awarded a 5* (highest level of international excellence) in the research
assessment exercise.

The relevant funding body for high quality research is the EPSRC, the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council

From the Royal Academy Of Engineering's mission statement, my highlights.

As Britain’s national academy for engineering, we bring together the
country’s most eminent engineers from all disciplines to promote
excellence in the SCIENCE, art and practice of engineering.

So would I.
It was merely a reaction o a stupidity of YOO.
(who always mistakes his opinions for facts)
For some strange reason he seems to insist
that Von Braun's pre-1934 efforts
to get a liquid fuel rocket to work at all
cannot be called science.

There are many technical universities on the continent
with a similar tradition of scientific excellence.
(Delft, Ecole Polytechnique, ETH Zurich, for example)
Edinburgh (and Leyden) long held a special position,
as the universities where the new sciences
and their practical applications could be taught.
(the rest remaining locked in their medieval traditions)

Why, a certain A. Einstein may be said to have been an engineer.
He graduated from the ETH in Zurich,
and did his most important work
while being employed as an engineer,
in a certain patent office, [1]

[1] He was the best patant examiner they ever had,
according to his boss there.

It is indeed a rather pointless discussion, made vaguely interesting
only by the "role reversal" that seems to have taken place. It was the
Christian doctrine of the Middle Ages that had kicked engineering and
mechanics out of the artes liberales. One (arguably wrong) etymology for
the word for mechanics (engineering by another name) at that time,
proposed by Ugo di San Vittore, was from "moechus", "adulterer" - while
a proper scientists tries to describe the truth of creation ad majorem
gloriam dei and for the love of truth itself, technical oriented
engineers and mechanics only tell nature they love her to get her into
bed, bending her to human ends and sully her, and we cannot have that
type of hubris, can we?

It was the Renaissance that rediscovered the "scientia de ingeniis" as a
legitimate if subordinated (scientia mediea) science, mainly as a
result of the discovery of the pseudo-Aristotelian "Mechanical
problems". Like many newcomers, they tried initially their hardest to
be seen even more non-applied than the other disciplines, but by the
time Galileo held the chair of mathematics at Padua, teaching and
researching into the making of instruments (his script on Meccaniche
dell istrumento) and machine building (Delle Machine)were firmly part
of the science curriculum and research.

The rest of Europe needed of course a bit longer to catch up - a very
good overview of the debate is W. R. Laird
The Scope of Renaissance Mechanics, Osiris, 2nd Series, Vol. 2, (1986),
pp. 43-68

So it really should be Suzanne arguing that Braun was an adulterer who
tried to force nature to his will in order to kill people, while YOO
should argue that this is religious superstition, hostility to the idea
that we can use our intellect to improve life without praying for it,
and that it is irrelevant for the truth of a theory what use, if any, it
has. But then, debates on TO do not necessarily adhere to logic, do they?

The distinction between science and engineering is enduring, and we
still use both terms as a juxtaposition, but in real life it lost its
meaning at around 1500.

Me too. If Von Braun thought "...if a rocket was just filled up with enough

liquid fuel only that was required to lift it and propel it all the way to
outer space, it would be too heavy to lift off the ground, unless there was
a way where fuel could be continually being made until it got to outer

space", then you seem to have uncovered hitherto unknown branch of rocket
science.

You could do, but then you'd need to send an even bigger tanker rocket to
refuel the tanker rocket. And then...

This is a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks that he can give

Think of this summary, when you feel satisfied that you have managed

Jan, I don't know if my other posts went through our

can't see my posts. But your idea about the tankers
going along is just how they solved the problem with
the "too heavy" load of rocket with all the liquid fuel
in it. You are right, it took just a couple of tankers,
and they attached them, and called them the stage
separations. That's just exactly what those are all
about.

So did they discover the "way where fuel could be continually being made
until it got to outer space" that you say von Braun was talking about?
Something to do with U235 if I recall.

I'm not sure if it was fuel continually being made

know any other way then. But now It think it may
have had to do with something else. They did
not have just one design in mind, but several.

I have read that they even thought about an all
electric rocket in order to save money because
fuel is so expensive. The way they solved the
problem was with the staged rocket. Just like
you all were talking about sending several
tankers alongside of the rocket for refueling,
they simply attached those loads and called
them the stages. When they performed their
task, as you know they separated, lightening
the load of the rocket, after providing the
mighty thrust a rocket would need. I have
read that long ago, WVB had that design in
mind to consider. He even had designs, I guess
you know, for a space station, probes to Mars
and other planets, and also the manned flights to
the moon, and even to Mars.
>
The other thing that I wondered about, concerning
the cyclotron, is that the way it works, relates to the
anti-gravity plasma that some think can provide a
ionic hyperdrive propulsion. Do you know about
that? It's a fascinating subject. A man in Germany
who died in 2001, might have figured this out. First,
if you know how a cyclotron works, there are a
couple of electrodes they form that are shaped like
a "D" that are attached, or are fixed near the poles
of an electromagnet. Between the poles of the
magnet they place a substance that is capable of
producing sub-atomic particles/ions. This is all
enclosed in a vacuum. When they introduce an
alternating in a way that is perpendicular to the
plain of the magnet, the substance starts
producing the particles that are smaller than an
atom. If it is a positive current, the annode will
attract the particles and they will set up around
the annode (the plus pole) and they will begin
spinning in a circular pattern since the paths of
the particles begin curving, thus spiraling around
the annode. If they reverse the current to the
negative, they will be attracted to the cathode
side of the magnet. Depending upon the current,
either negative or positive ions are generated, of course. The
particles are attracted to each pole
electrostatically. A huge amount of energy is
generated, and depending upon the speed of
the sub-atomic particles, the energy can
greatly increase. OK...now that's the cycotron.

In an anti-gravity machine, it is believed that
the plasma contains many electrodes, not just
two as the ones in the cyclotron. The plasma
is in a reservoir at the bottom of a craft and
they somehow get them to spin (by electromagnet),
in a horizontal plain, like if you spun a lariat over
head or like the upper blades of a helicopter.
Something about the particles changes with the
strength or speed or both of the spin, and theory
says that the particles turn into or generate
gravity.

Now, you might wonder, why would you want the
object that you want to fly have an increase of
gravity? Well, if the gravity that is produced is
somehow tranferred above the vehicle, it will want
to "fall upwards" if the gravity produced is stronger
than the earth's gravity. Now, don't laugh at me,
because this is my idea as to why this works, but
if you can produce the gravity to be always above
the craft and equidistant from the craft while flying,
It would be like taking a long stick with a carrot on
it that you dangle in front of a horse to get him
to keep going the direction you want him to go in,
which of course he can never catch up to.

The theory is that if you can control this direction,
(if this works), you could get to the moon fast. Not
in three days as we did in the manned trip, but in a
matter of hours, instead. Now, all of this was not
in that class and was not even hinted at. But the
man that believed that he understood this, that
died in 2001, was contacted, so an article says,
by the teacher of the class. The man was a physicist
from Germany named Burkhard Heim. As you can
see, he was very private about his theory...
http://www.damninteresting.com/prepare-for-ludicrous-speed
It doesn't sound like he would have shared it with
VB, since he had become an American. But this man
was not the only person working on that theory of
anti-gravity, but it sounds like he really had a handle
on what Einstein wanted to get resolved. Just last
year a young man had an invention on a very small
scale that was supposed to be a thing that could
utilize anti-gravity, and NASA took a great interest
in it. I think it's really, really an interesting subject.

Oh, and Suzy, dearest... examples of 'all electric' rockets include
mass-drivers and ion motors. Perhaps you might elaborate on which
'all-electric' rocket you mean, and how you intend to launch it from the
Earth. Hint: 'all electric' rockets are extremely efficient and have good to
very, very, VERY good specific impulses, but are low thrust... Chemical
rockets are inefficient, have poor specific impulses, but can have high
thrust. Thrust is of low importance in orbit, but of very high importance for
something on the ground as if you don't have sufficient thrust to overcome
gravity and get off the ground in the first place you'll never make it to
orbit. The only rocket which I know of which would actually work and which
combines high thrust with high specific impulse is Freeman Dyson's Project
Orion: build a really, really, REALLY big ship, put a really, really, REALLY
thick steel plate aft, coat the aft surface of the plate with a thick layer
of carbon, mount the plate on really, really, REALLY good shock absorbers,
and throw a nuke behind the plate. Boom. Ship moves, hopefully all in one
piece. Throw more nukes aft as necessary to get the required delta-vee to get
where you want to go. Dyson built a prototype, using chemical explosives (for
some reason no-one would let him borrow a few nukes) and flew it; the
prototype, and film of it flying, is in the Smithsonian. A full-size Orion
would have been able to land several thousand tons of cargo on the Moon at
one shot...

The very best electric rocket would be a continuous thermonuclear plasma
rocket: a fusion reactor which was open at one end and threw star-hot plasma
out the back, controlled by electric and magnetic fields, combining the best
features of nuclear pulse systems and electric systems: high thrust and high
specific impulse. (and high stay away from the back end of the rocket if you
know what's good for you; as EE Smith, Robert Heinlein, and Larry Niven have
noted, high-end driving jets are _weapons_.) Given that no-one has got a
plain old fusion power reactor working yet, I'd say that working CTP rockets
are some distance out in the future.

No it isn't. You are, without doubt, the most profoundly ignorant

First off, look up what an ION is.

Then actually look up what a cyclotron is and what is does.

Finally, please explain how a cyclotron can ever generate energy.

I mentioned an anti-gravity machine/space craft(?),
and an electric type of a rocket, so I don't know
which one you are referring to, or both perhaps.
When I was talking about the cyclotron, I left out
the word "current" after the word "alternating." >
The article that I read about only touched on the
idea that he thought of an electric powered rocket,
but did not tell the plan or say how it might be
formed or if they even knew how it worked.
But a cyclotron is capable of producing millions
of volts. The faster it spins the ions, the greater
the volts become, and eventually they can escape
the cyclotron and be aimed at any target. The
problem with a cyclotron, which is a partical
separator, is that it has to be big to produce that
kind of power. But somone invented what they call
"the 88" cyclotron" (you can find it online), but the
problem with that smaller one is that it is not
capable of producing enough volts to power a
rocket, I don't think. I got the impression with an
anti-gravity machine, which some might want to
call a flying saucer, the chamber itself with the
plasma in it with the electrodes in it, act as a sort
of cyclotron, generating either it's own electricity,
or it's gravity, if that is what it does, or even both.
Remember though that the very physicist that
seems to have figured the anti-gravity ability out,
is the same one that sustained terrible injuries.
I think this kind of thing should only be experimented
with in a laboratory and only under conditions where
extreme caution is taken. Physicists have a great
ability to let a formula be the first experimentation.
They can make those formulas almost talk.

She is perfectly serious and saying she is ignorant of science implies she
might be able to learn.

Here is another of her explanations explaining what light is:

"These are all really the same thing, a stream
of photons that move at certain frequencies,
producing waves of energy, identifiable by
the speed at which they are moving. Your
ears "hear" the light when it is at a certain
level of speed in it's wave formed lengths.
Wehn it is faster, you see the light."

You probably were unaware that frequency is a speed and that light has a
"level of speed" down *and* can be heard.

She is also an expert on archeology.
"I don't know what others think, but I can tell you that
I feel an inner confirmation that it is the truth, so I
don't need outside archaeological evidence to prove to
me that it is true."

This is not correct. This was about the entire
spectrum of electromagnetic radiations (EMR).
Each thing in it (Xrays, gamma rays, etc.) travels
at the speed of light, but in addition, each has a frequency as well,
and that is the number of
complete oscillations per second.

You are also interjecting your own sense of

about the presence of the word "hear," that is
within the sentence. That was meant to be a
sort of joke concerning what had been said,
and this has been explained to you several
times before, that it was put in quotes to notify
the reader that it is not referring to the actual

That was not my philosphy about archaeology.
This answered someone's claim that a

is true. I was explaining that the Holy Spirit,

Perhaps. And the same confirmation is given to those who study the
_Bhagavad Gita_, or the _Koran_. But in each religion there seem to be
many claimants to deep knowledge, who by all external apprances have
none.

But, the problem is that one needs reaction mass and we are already at

But with microwaves, theoretically we can convert the mass to energy and
the rocket converts the energy to reaction mass.

Altar boys, too, quite possibly. But I regret the debasement of the word
"bullshit". If it's simply going to be a synonym of "nonsense", it's
little more than a decorative waste of breath. The beauty of proper
bullshit is that the user _knows_ it's nonsense: hence the Anglo-Saxon
proverb "Bullshit baffles brains" (I've translated it into the familiar
modern form: but the original is found as graffiti on a wall excavated
at King Alfred's headquarters). The connoisseur's version, however, is
found in armies, where not only the perpetrator but also the _victim_
knows it's nonsense, but all the official boxes can be ticked.

It was not meant to be funny but it is true.
Conversely your attempt at humor is not funny.
(Or perhaps it shows that you are aware of your lack of knowledge.)

You have, on occasion, quote mined from sites claiming that the writere
believed what you claimed. When the conclusions that the author actually
drew were quoted, you denied them.

It is correct and that was a direct quote.
Here is the gibberish in context with the rest of it.

" Science tells us that light is a vast category in
which are things such as gamma rays, cosmic rays,
Xrays, and all those things that make up the
electromagnetic spectrum. Collectively they are
all called EMR. This is radiation energy that
travels and as it goes, it expands. These include
visible light, as well as invisible. It includes
microwaves, and even radio waves. These are all


really the same thing, a stream of photons that
move at certain frequencies, producing waves
of energy, identifiable by the speed at which
they are moving. Your ears "hear" the light
when it is at a certain level of speed in it's
wave formed lengths. Wehn it is faster, you

see the light. If you get a sunburn, which is
ultraviolet light, you feel the light. You can
heat up a cup of coffee in the microwave and
you can feel the heat that it generated."

A claim you made repeatedly well after you posted it. Again, had it been the
only bit of stupidity in what you wrote that might be an excuse.
In context with the rest it clearly means what it says.

That is a direct quote from you. If it is not true then you are the one who

Heim wasn't at home, he was in a laboratory (surprise!), and he wasn't
dicking about with spiffy anti gravity machines either when he blew
himself up. Perhaps he should have written this equation down on paper
first;

explosives laboratory + mishandled chemicals = huge explosion.

Wikipedia: During World War II, Heim was recruited as a soldier in the
air force. However, a previous essay about explosives led to his
working briefly in a chemical laboratory as an explosives technician,
instead. An explosion in the laboratory caused by the mishandling of
unstable compounds left him with debilitating handicaps.

You, on the other hand, couldn't blow yourself up if you tried.

Oh I agree. Nobody should try making high explosives at home.

But I agree with Louann, you do not consider that you should know what
you are talking about before posting is a good idea.

What he encountered was not unexpected. Many people suffered the same

By your standards, a world renowned expert in several subjects. It's
advice well worth taking, otherwise you'll end up in science hell. Not
a nice place. It's inside a cyclotron while buffing up Werner von
Braun's nozzles with U235, while listening to ray reciting the Gospel

Of course I will.
They sold it to me on the promise
that it will turn into a fusion reactor
thirty years hence.

Bob, what I've seen from you is that you don't know what
you are criticizing. For example, you did not seem to

What in the world are you criticizing here? I felt that I should
add a note of caution. Your comment is that what he got was
not unexpected. That's pretty cold. I don't really care if you
think that someone should not add a note of caution. A few
people in this world will listen to that advice, although some
will not. It's still worth saying.

Astonishingly, it is hard to believe that anyone could remain
willfully ignorant, given the ease and availability of search engines

I know that you don't really know what a cyclotron is,
but it's kind of you to admit it.
>
The cyclotron has already been briefly explained in
what I had written.
>
A cyclotron is sometimes called a particle separatir,
but often is called a particle accelerator. .It has
two D shaped electrodes fixed near the poles of an electromagnet, and
these are all fixed in a vacuum.
There is a substance placed between the poles, which
is, or contains, or will produce subatomic particles. The
ions that were produced by the current cause these
to become charged, and they start being attracted
electrostically to the pole, and because of the fixed
pattern that they have to travel in, they will form a
spiral pattern as they move, since their paths will
have become curved. Eventually this flow of charged
particles can go so fast and then jump to external
(or near the perimeter) particles which in turn can
be aimed at targets. Millions and millions of volts
are produced. If you want a more detailed
explanation, perhaps Boikat will supply it for you.
I've noticed on the Internet that some of the
Universities produce a whole separate paper to
explain the cyclotron, but in their primary paper,
they treat it even more briefly than I have here.
So, if you don't any of you like what I've written,
that's just tough. This is not written to a bunch
of quantum physicists, it's just written to the
average reader so that he can get an idea of
what a cyclotron is.

Suzanne: Your problem is this: The "average reader" to whom you
address your description is probably much more knowledgeable about
cyclotrons than you are.

Why don't you just say: "Check Wikipedia 'Cyclotron' for a very good
explanation."

A cyclotron is a particle accelerator. It speeds up charged particles.
That's all -- no more, no less. It was developed by Ernest Lawrence
(and others) at Berkeley a long time ago. It doesn't make 'volts',
which is a term like 'force', 'energy', and a few others, I don't think
you understand.

The cyclotron has all sorts of uses, but 'anti-gravity' is not one of
them.

And why are you attempting to discuss cyclotrons in the first place?

Why don't you stick to your Bible interpretations, which is where it
appears that you have spent some time studying.

Lesson one: Learn before you teach.

The word is in the dictionary...
According to Webster's, the usage of the word
"bullshit" is said by them to be "usually vulgar."
That puts it in the realm of being what is often
called "salty" langauge. However, if you didn't

Mike, this is not gibberish, this is the
ElectroMagnetic Radiation Spectrum. It is streams
of photons which travel at the speed of light, and
which are grouped by the frequencies that they
possess. Some of it you can't see, and some you
can see. You an see colors, but you can't see the
two colors called infrared and ultraviolet, but you
can see what they do. You also can't see Xrays,
cosmic rays, gamma rays, but they can be
detected. You can't hear radio waves, but you
can hear the radio receivers that use the energy
and frequencies of the radio waves. You can't see
an XRay, but you can see a picture of your bones
from what a machine can use of it's frequencies.
These are all the same thing: photons which travel
at the speed of light.

This is possible because of the indwelling of the

Well, I'm sure glad of that because I would not want to
do that anyway. I said that Heim did this as a youth.
He was only 19 when this happened. "Don't try this at
home," referred to anyone reading this that is a young
person who would like to experiment on his own. It was
just a word of caution.

The average reader has a much better chance of understanding it
without reading your explanation first.

That's a nice idea. I might use that sometime.
In this case I was wanting to convey what a certain
class was about, so it was necessary to include
an explanation of the cyclotron.

This is not correct, Earle. Volts can be generated....
"A circular particle accelerator in which charged
subatomic particles generated at a central source
are accelerated spirally outward in a plane
perpendicular to a fixed magnet field by an alternating
electric field. A cyclotron is capable of generating
particle energies between a few million and several
tens of millions of electron volts."

No, you've misunderstood something. A man by the
name of Burkhard Heim had a theory which is now
well-known, that a "plasma" can be injected into a
reservoir in a space craft that is in a fluid which is a
conductor of electricity, and by whirling many electrodes, particles
can be accelerated to the point that gravity is produced. This idea
seems to be akin to the action that can take place in a cyclotron.
This is a
theory.

It would help if you had read the posts that were
originally entered. Many years ago at the University
of Texas, in Austin, Texas, I had attended a guest
lecture class about the cyclotron, which was taught
by a guest lecturer which we were fortunate to have,
which was Dr. Wernher Von Braun of NASA. He
entitled the class as "Uranium 235 in the Cyclotron."
This was in about 1959.

Thank you for that acknowledgement. Earle.
The subject just came up. I have studied some
other subjects during my lifetime, and physics
is one of those. I am not a physicist, but the
field of quantum mechanics is fascinating to me.

Well, it does "make" electron volts,
and since volts are "made out of" electrons anyway,
"electron volts" is obviously redundant. ;-)

So in her own private universe she´s right and you're
all just nitpicking as usual. ;-)

And therefore reports what was considered vulgar from around 1980 or
earlier (probably much earlier, as the term itself hasn't changed its
meaning, so the entry probably hasn't been revised in recent editions).

Understand that a dictionary is an entree into a language or usage, not
a current prescription. Even if you checked the online OED, you'd find
something written many years ago.

I did, by the way, and the OED cites 1969 as its latest examples. An
update mentions "bullshitter" for 1988.

she must have known a lot at birth. but as she aged she learned less and
less about everything until she knows nothing about everything.

is it possible she was taught (at) by the man? the knowledge bounced
off her mental state. so she is garbling the stuff he might have said
like engineering F = mA and other cryptic things like that.

Suzanne, these electron volts are not what you think they are. They
are not electrons travelling down a copper wire; they are subatomic
particles (commonly protons) that are accelerated to very high speeds.
This gives them energy of momentum, which is measured in electron
volts, an equivalent that is used so that physicists can talk about
energies in a common unit. You can't power hair driers with them.

I think my bullshit detector just went off again. Why, oh why, would
U235 be in a cyclotron? I really can't work this one out; U235 is a
producre of neutrons, which (being electrically neutral) wouldn't be
affected by a cyclotron. Unless you were to fire protons at U235;
would that cause fission? I don't think so; U235 has an electron shell
that would deflect even moderately high energy protons, and there
aren't the right number of neutrons in the collision to get the right
partial products.

We'll have to look for lecture notes now, which (of course!) won't
exist.

The original and now this are unadulterated gibberish. I love this

But first you have to be open to the idea that an outside source, e.g. a
reference book, provides information that is _objectively better_ than
letting the first words that occur to you fall from your lips and then
defending those statements to the death.

Psychologists call this 'reality testing.' Theologians call it the
cardinal virtue of humility.

Ah! Again your ignorance shows. Energy levels of an accelerated
particle are measured in "electron volts" see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_volts.

It is, in the case of a cyclotron, a measure of the energy imparted to
the particles by the magnetic field. You have to put that energy IN to
the cyclotron, they are VERY power hungry devices. The do not, by any
stretch of the imagination, generate power.

Seems like a glorious mix up of some sound science with some of the more
outlandish conspiracy theories.

Remember that Suzanne wrote:

Now, Braun did discuss _artificial_ gravity in the context of a possible
manned space station. He contributes some issues to the popular science
"Man Will Conquer Space Soon!" series (with comics), and discusses how
artificial gravity can be generated in a space station. He suggested
using rotational forces for this (and Suzanne talks about "spin"
somewhere else in the post)This is of course all quite sound, and has
nothing at all to do with either propulsion in general or anti-gravity
in particular.

If we then make the giant jump from artificial gravity to anti-gravity
(well, both are a-gravity, so easily to mix up ;o)) we come to the
weirdos. Enter the stage Richard C. Hoagland, well known UFO "researcher
and all round nutcase. Now it gets really funny. According to him, von
Braun's desire to reach outer space was driven by his membership in the
inner circle of the occult Nazi movement: they wanted to reach Mars
because the Ur-Aryans hail from this planet. After 45, Braun remained
true to his Nazi ideology and when Explorer 1 behaved unlike predicted
, covered the amazing discovery of anti-gravity.

http://www.enterprisemission.com/Von_Braun.htm

And yes, Burkhard Heim, whom Suzanne also mentioned is also in this mess
somewhere. As is Maurice Allais (yes, the economist)who "discovered"
the existence of anti-gravity and was helped by von Braun in covering it
up - Allais of course being a supporter of the far right National Front
(which is actually true - the "science" however was dealt with pretty
soon after he published his ideas here: R. S. Shankland, S. W. McCuskey,
F. C. Leone, and G. Kuerti, "New analysis of the interferometric
observations of Dayton C. Miller", Rev. Mod. Phys. 27, 167–178 (1955))

Of course, von Braun is the bad guy in these theories, which makes it
even funnier that Suzanne fell for it, probably vaguely remembering the
old comics and then coming across some Hoagland - inspired nonsense
about anti-gravity and how a Nazi infiltrated Nasa (notice the
similarity!!!!) has been using it for decades.

Rather than admit you were wrong you continue to make up excuses which show
that you really did not understznd things at the start and refuse, more
probably *can't* learn what was wrong.


So are you now claiming that Jesus told you that the person who wrote the
article did not know what he was talking about and told you what parts to
quote?

Which leads *again* to the always unanswered question.
Why, especially in matters that dirrectly involve matters of faith, does
this Jesus always tell people different things?
Either you are the only one who god talks to or this thing with the
compassion of a spider lies to at least all but one of you.
What makes you so special?

As usual Suzanne has shown a complete lack of understanding.
Of course perhaps I am wrong and Wikipedia is surpressing this information.
Perhaps Suzanne will give us teh secret link (unless it's a messsage from
the swiss cheeze ghost.) that will tell about this storage of plasma that
she talks about.

She should also review the use of quote marks unless the "plasma" he
rrefers to is not really plasma.

Perhaps this is what you're worried about?

A Cautionary Christmas Tale

The is the tale of Bernhard Heim,
Whose parents weren't on speaking terms;
So when he wrote to Santa Claus
It was in duplicate because
One went to dad, and one to mum,
Both asked for some plutonium.

So of went father, and off went mother,
Without consulting one another,
And purchased two lumps of largish size
Intending them to be a surprise.
They met in Berhard's stocking and
Laid level ten square miles of land.

Take from this tale of nuclear fission
Not to mix science with superstition.

When I was 14 I knew my father was an idiot. Nothing whatsoever
happened to change that view over the following 36 years he lived.

My mother, on the other hand, still amazes me quite often :)

If you had reading comprehension, you would see that these posts were
referring to your nonsensical claim about an "electric rocket". Only 2
electric powered rockets (spacecraft with ion engines)have been made.
They are both unmanned craft. Deep Space 1 was test bed that included an
ion engine; Dawn is a probe to explore the asteroid belt, with 3 ion
engines. The ion engines have to run for YEARS to build up enough
velocity to reach the asteroid belt.

You cyclotron comments were gibberish, and it is unlikely Von Braun ever
gave a lecture on their operation, as they have nothing to do with
rocket propulsion, which was his field of expertise.

The only practical electric rockets in the foreseeable future are ion
engines, and they are very low thrust and only work in space. The only
other thing even remotely similar to an "electric rocket" that Von Braun
would have discussed would be electric mass drivers flinging objects off
the surface of the moon.

This is nonsense. Perhaps you are using some weird definition of
"anti-gravity". Most people use the term to mean that the force exerted
by gravity is somehow directly reduced. You are simply talking about
countering the effects of gravity with other forces. By that definition,
a conventional rocket, airplane, or even a crane, would be an
anti-gravity device.

One of our metallurgists had given a technician a large jar of PICRIC
ACID to mix a small batch of an etching solution. He was not given an
MSDS or any special instructions. I was shocked when I noticed what he
was working with. I quickly briefed him, obtained an MSDS, and reported
the metallurgist. This was the same guy who had previously stored acids
and cyanide compounds in THE SAME CABINET!

Yes, it is wrong. What it produces is Kinetic energy of motion, which
is measured in units of one million electron volts, 1 Mev, and this
energy is transferred to the charged particles. Millions and
millions of volts are not produced.

Sorry, Suzanne, but you literally do not understand what you are
talking about. Your description above contains false causalities,
inaccurate descriptions, and a definite lack of understanding of
electromagnetic field theory and subatomic physics.

Interesting that you consider the truth obnoxious.

You do know that reading this group is a big waste of time and energy,

And Bob disappears in a cloud of logic.

She can frame sentences and type, so yes, she could be far more stupid.
As a parrot, or even a bonobo, she would be a genius of her species.

Or 100% conversion of mass to energy. But IIUC, there are no theoretical
obstacles. Easier by far than FTL.

You've made better (wurst?) puns. Nearly all IIRC. OTGH perhaps "I've
seen better" is an idiom meaning that the pun on a scale of 1-10 is a
minus 5 or such.

To comprehend what you read
you need some well organized background knowledge.
Lacking that nothing will ever make sense.
Suzy doesn't even have an organized understanding of the bible,

It has been carefully and fully pointed out that "volts" and "electron

Well, in my understanding "garbled" means that it has some facts that
have been confused. Your explanations of cyclotrons is so garbled
that it has no relation whatsoever to reality. I only have a very
limited laymans acquaintance with the subject but even I know that you
are totally wrong.

BTW: Vold and Eletron Volt are two different things. You might try
re-reading some of the explanations that have been provided you. At
least that _might_ clear up some of your confusion...not that I have
any hopes of that happening.

I think she simply mashes fragments of memories of different events
together, then interprets what she thinks she remembers to make her
point. Then she gets indignant when people prove her claimed "memories"
are impossible.
I know that memories can be merged, yet still seem clear and authentic.
For example, there was a nice tune from the soundtrack of the
Mechwarrior 2 computer game that I really liked. I thought I remembered
it clearly. However, when I recently found my old game disc a extracted
the audio files, I discovered that the tune I remembered was not
actually there. I had merged parts of two different tunes in my memory.

Many satellites and probes used radioisotope generators and some, like
