I just finished watching today’s program talking about “Fiscal Conservatism” and if it is still operable here in the USA as well as elsewhere. The biggest question or concern that I have gleaned from Bill and Scotty”s discussion was not only the size of our ‘National Debt’, how it can be paid down, and IF […]
This is a terrific interview with the great, but media-shy, Neil Armstrong by …. an Australian accountant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJzOIh2eHqQ
This is a late Apollo anniversary post. I could not find the picture for several days. That’s appropriate because the camera was lost for a decade too. This is an Apollo camera. It’s not one that went to the moon they’re all still there; excess baggage. This one was used by the astronauts in […]
Time to revisit the Nimitz, this time walking step-by-step through the various systems involved in getting the planes off the deck. Every time I watch one of these I’m astounded by just how many people are needed to keep all the systems running correctly. Also, that’s one dedicated camera crew. (Colorado is well-represented in this […]
I tried to tell 3 hardcore democrats about this when I temporarily switched to MEWE, but they refused to believe me. I told them the Russians were trying to elevate votes for hillary, but noooo. They all insisted that it was done for Trump. Now, all three of them are sharing this news with others, […]
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, a team of LEGO Master Builders spent nearly 300 hours designing and building a life-size model of the lunar module pilot and the iconic A7L spacesuit that he wore on July 20, 1969 at Tranquility Base. Built from 44,051 LEGO bricks, the model debuted […]
This isn’t a bad way to wind up our Moon Day celebration. Not bad at all…
On July 20, 1969, the spacecraft Eagle landed on the Moon, changing history forever. It was the culmination of a chain of events put in motion by the launch of Sputnik by the Soviets in 1957. Now, fifty years later, we commemorate this incredible milestone in the course of Human Events. For those of us old […]

Google and Censorship CSPAN aired a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Google and its censorship policy. Google’s public policy and government affairs vice president testified during the first part of the hearing. Witnesses in the second panel included Dennis Prager, a conservative commentator, who claimed that Google and YouTube sought to restrict or remove his […]
I am at somewhat of a loss on how to proceed with this particular subject. There’s so much to talk about that focusing on just one point at a time would require several posts of fairly great length, that, well, I don’t want to commit to. At least not right now. So I will attempt […]
A few years ago, Owen was knee deep into the Hollywood mainstream, his talents apparent to every comedian and many actors and actresses. But he has a high IQ, and he knew it. I was designated a high IQ early on but also ADHD. I never recognized my potential until HS when I started taking […]
I know I don’t speak for all the ‘Loungers, but I think I have a sense of their feelings. I saw you get a little frustrated tonight with some of the comments and I hope I can offer some perspective. If other ‘Loungers could chime in and let me know if I’m wrong, but we […]
From the unsurpassed Apollo Flight Journal YT channel, whose “PDI to Touchdown” series covers all Apollo landings (though they are all on different channels, not playlists.) Armstrong and Aldrin’s time has come for immortality.
It took us 10 years to put a man on the moon. Where have we gone 50 years after that? No where, except down. We can argue whether we have gone down culturally since 1969, though I think a pretty good case can be made, but there is no question we have gone down economically, […]
