Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 15, 2024

Unfortunately, there is no moonwalk merit badge, so …

I think it was Jimmy Irwin from Apollo 15 that wasn’t a Scout.

The most unbelievable is that it’s only 80,000.

“Houston. Tranquility Base here. The Eagle Scout has landed.”

That debris should have burned up in the atmosphere.

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who only spoke Navajo, asked a question, which the son translated, “What are the guys in the big suits doing?”

A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon. The old man got really excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder.

After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate. He refused. So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation, where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the elder’s message to the moon.

Finally, NASA called in an official government translator. He reported that the moon message said: “Watch out for these guys; they’ve come to steal your land.”

So…you’re saying “NO Girl Scouts”???

Also every person to walk in the moon was either first born, or an only child.

And the other one was a talent scout. Great acting “moon walkers.” ~ Danny Denier, plus the Earth is flat and vaccines spy on your toilet rolls.

Tons of air conditioning is not a measure of weight of the equipment, it’s a measure of the cooling performed by the equipment.

Have I been asleep at the wheel? I did not know we had landed on the moon other than 1969. Only one walked on the moon as far as I know.

Sounds like those people should have got the NASA insurance policy which protects from falling debris from space

I got to tour the NAsA vehicle assembly building, that place is huge

We visited Cape Kennedy just a week before the ‘69 moon launch and actually got off the bus to tour the insides of the VAB. Back then, I took an extreme interest in the space program. While in high school, I was in the AFJROTC at my high school and made a field trip to NASA Langley. I was planning to be an Aerospace engineer when I attended Virginia Tech. But, thanks to the Selective Service, my plans were shelved by a draft notice. Somewhere along the line afterwards, I lost my fervor for the space program.

Does NASA own the ISS? If not and the people win the suit that sets a bad precedent.

The 10,,000 tons of AC, is that the weight of the units, or their output? A three ton AC unit does not weigh 6,000 pounds.

Is that 10,000 tons of equipment, or does the equipment have 10,000 tons of capacity (120 million Btu/hr)?

RBION is repeating an urban legend again. This time about clouds forming in the VAB. In a 2019 news story by Carolina Cardona of Channel 6 News she interviewed Elizabeth Kline, VAB Element operations manager who said, “If there’s fog in the morning, it will roll in and you can actually see the fog inside the building,” Kline said when asked if the rumor about the VAB having its own weather is true.

“It doesn’t actually rain or form clouds inside the building.”

And NASA should pay for the damage to the home…..

Must be why NASA is shutting down NASA TV. Too darned humid these days.

maybe a dehumidifier

The twelfth one was hiding out from t he cops
