- Hello snarfy,
-
- I for one am not related to any governmental agency, I am not even american.
- I therefore do not really qualify for a cover-up of any kind.
- I do not know where your argument is failing and I am sure some other
- readers will take the time to tell you exactly. The thing is that I had with
- my group the extraordinary possiblity to be in weightlessness, in martian
- (1/3g) and in lunar gravity (1/6g) while riding on NASA's KC-135 recently.
- I can tell you that if you want to have the agility that those guys had
- while on the moon ( from the movies) you HAVE to be at MOST under 1/6 g
- and definetly way under .34g.
- Trust me, the martian gravity is bitch, there is NO fun being under it
- and it's relatively dangerous to even try a backflip.
- Then again the pilot might have fooled us since he's a NASA employee!
- then again our experiments DO HAVE accelerometers and they match
- with NASA's (ain't it weird :-))
