Use a tuner, people. Just sayin'.

Am getting my threads mixed up , I just read one where Elvis didn't believe in the tuner landings

He's actually gone beyond the crazy zone, beyond even his hero Alex Jones into the uncharted world of the fucknut.

I did but it probably went over their heads.

If you know about radio triangulation argument ends at that point.

You didn't even need access to government levels of technology.

Even amateur ham radio operators all over the world could and did track the missions.

Indeed.

AS11-40-5952: Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment as left on the Moon by Apollo 11


Plot of arrival time of photons (Y axis) for each of many laser pulses sent to the Moon (X axis). This data, along with similar data from the other landing sites, shows there are man-made objects on the Moon in the locations of the Apollo landings.

The detection on Earth of reflections from laser ranging retro-reflectors (LRRRs, or mirrors used as targets for Earth-based tracking lasers) on Lunar Laser Ranging experiments left on the Moon is evidence of landings.

Quoting from James Hansen's biography of Neil Armstrong, First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong:
"For those few misguided souls who still cling to the belief that the Moon landings never happened, examination of the results of five decades of LRRR experiments should evidence how delusional their rejection of the Moon landing really is."[35]
The NASA-independent Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, McDonald, Apache Point, and Haleakalā observatories regularly use the Apollo LRRR.[36] Lick Observatory attempted to detect from Apollo 11's retroreflector while Armstrong and Aldrin were still on the Moon but did not succeed until August 1, 1969.[37] The Apollo 14 astronauts deployed a retroreflector on February 5, 1971, and McDonald Observatory detected it the same day. The Apollo 15 retroreflector was deployed on July 31, 1971, and was detected by McDonald Observatory within a few days.

The image shows what is considered some of the most unambiguous evidence. This experiment repeatedly fires a laser at the Moon, at the spots where the Apollo landings were reported. The dots show when photons are received from the Moon. The dark line shows that a large number come back at a specific time, and hence were reflected by something quite small (well under a metre in size). Photons reflected from the surface come back over a much broader range of times (the whole vertical range of the plot corresponds to only 30 metres or so in range). The concentration of photons at a specific time appears when the laser is aimed at the Apollos 11, 14 or 15 landing sites; otherwise the expected featureless distribution is observed. The Apollo reflectors are still in use.

Never use one.....do it by ear

Fucking drummers.

Does anyone use a tuning fork anymore? I have a friend that still swears by them. Holds it in his teeth, etc. Mind you, he just plays for his own enjoyment. Damn shame because he's really good.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

in the teeth would hurt, no?

Pay no attention to the drummer behind the curtain (of smoke)

Long before this thread went off the rails, it was stated that tuning forks or your ear are fine at home, but for gigs, recording (where you're going to be file-swapping, overdubbing, punching in, or anything that will require exact pitch every time), professional instrument set-ups, etc. - nothing beats an electronic (particularly strobe) tuner.

Honestly Angel, No..............

not in this "day and age"..........

tuners are cheap and accurate......no reason not to have several

[ELVIS]

Ironically enough though, the head of the science department at my high school was a fundagelical Christian. I kid you not.

Like that's supposed to be a shock ??

[FORD]

Well, considering this was at the height of the Reagan era fundagelical rebellion against science, actually yes.

To be fair, he didn't get all "religious" in his classes at all that I know of. I only knew what his beliefs were because his sons were in my Boy Scout troop way back when. I was actually surprised that he could go with the Darwin stuff in the biology books and not interject a "but this is all bullshit because we know God did it all in 6 days" every now and then.

[ELVIS]

You're surpeised the Christian teacher did a professional job ??
