Through The Threshold

Having just become a member, I feel as though I have stepped through a threshold into a fertile garden of sanity, established core values, common sense and dare I say…brilliant observations. But what is most striking and what separates you from the “normal” conservative messengers, is the depth of humility and thoughtful intellect that encapsulates everything you and the others espouse. I always come away after your presentations feeling truly enriched and reassured of my convictions. 

 

I first heard of Bill through the 4 part videos covering the Apollo program. Being 70, my formative years were spent being totally immersed in the space program. I watched every televised launch, had numerous books and photos of all the missions and space crafts, did a pastel drawing of the famous “good earth” scene of our planet rising over the lunar horizon. This was not a passive interest, but rather an obsession. I remember the humiliation of Sputnik. My uncle was a ham radio operator, so I got to listen to the little bastard as it passed overhead! I had friend’s fathers who had dug underground bomb shelters…I was a child of “The Wonder Years.” So when I watched your videos, they opened the flood gates of memories of that era. And man, did I learn a ton of info I had no idea about. Your narration and editorial input truly stuck a cord with me, so I had to find out more…so being cursed with an insatiable curious nature I found your YouTube channel and listened. The fact that I’m here writing all this and paid for that privilege, indicates what I found. 

 

I will close with the fact that I’m proud to support such a high quality organization fill with such first class men, and women. We all need you and your message, your integrity and your insight. Please accept my small contribution as large endorsement of your works. Thank you!

Welcome, Mark! I’m thrilled and delighted that Bill’s efforts on the Apollo 11 series have succeeded in reaching a wider audience. I arrived late to real-life show it chronicles, , but I have great reverence for the Apollo years and their can-do spirit, and am enjoying our current resurgence in space activity via SpaceX et. al. If you liked “What We Saw”, you’re sure to enjoy the frequent extended discussions of similar topics on Bill’s weekly Stratosphere Lounge video podcast. (e.g. Episode 224) Many of us gather to watch and comment when that show airs live on [most] Thursday evenings. It’s great fun. Hope you can join us sometime!
