    Illuminate me to why it is so untrustworthy?

    + Why do many CTers cite NASA images and at the same time claim it to be a source of "disinfo".

    I don't think people hate NASA as the thread would suggest. You will get the odd person saying they don't trust them or whatever but I dont think there is a general dislike of them by the majority of posters here.

    Well i speak for myself here.But i consider NASA untrustworthy just as much as David Icke.
    However i will still entertain both of their ideas.Both will have agendas so really i must look at the bigger picture when considering info from both sources.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,941 ✭✭✭caseyann


    Well considering what they did with (The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster ) Although they knew something was wrong with the wing they let those people die.I would say strong reasons why i wouldn't trust any American institute or power.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭WakeUp


    A lot of well meaning people work for NASA who just go in everyday and do their job like everyone else some of the stuff they have done is amazing. They wouldn't necessarily be the people making the big decisions or whatever or covering up things if indeed they have covered up certain things there is a hierarchy like most institutions. You don't have to hate someone or something to not trust them, hate is a strong word. People who don't trust NASA have their reasons which they are entitled too, just think it should be pointed out that the big decisions are usually taken by the big few and if they are covering up certain things then ultimately those decision rest with them few. Personally I think if the are covering up stuff it is because they are under instructions from the US government to do so and they wouldn't have much choice in the matter even if they wanted to do the right thing and inform people about whatever.

    I dont get people saying NASA is untrustworthy. Nasa is a huge organisation , deals with spacecraft and scienctific stuff, and like most big companies keeps its R and D under wraps. All this makes it perfect for conspiracy theories

    "Show us the aliens!"
    "We dont have aliens"
    "Aha! I knew it!"

    I trust NASA cos they deal in data, not wild theories. if theres life found on Mars or not, if theres ice on a certain comet or not, either way they just release it. The only thing you can accuse them of is whipping up public support for this this project or that project every so often, the same way coca cola/Apple/Toshiba does.

    Nasa is a great hope for humanity, pushing at the boundries of knowledge, soaring into the comos of understanding [ insert stirring music and video of the stars and stripes fluttering in a god fearing breeze]. well maybe not, but its not EVILLE like some people claim.

    My take is that the majority of info about space comes from NASA, so if you believe that there's a conspiracy involving space, then the only ones who could be behind it all are NASA.

    The moon landings are a perfect example. If you believed that they were faked, then it can only be NASA who are behind it. But the main images of the moon come from NASA, so people don't have much choice but to use them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭robtri


    Do i trust nasa.... yes.... i dont think they purposely lie about things... they are not right all the time... but i would generally trust them...


    This is a huge organisation and as such there is a lot of internal issues, with one team trying to get one up on the other team... the race to mars is a great example of that.. and this can cause a lot of issues being made public...

    They knew there was an issue with the wing, but they had no idea that it would cause a catastrophic failure of the heat shield and lead to the accident.

    Curious as to why you believe that NASA wanted to murder its own astronauts?

    No they decided to let it be even though they warned of the situation and no one even started to make plans to get them in safely or at least try to.
    I was watching the documentary other night about it,and some NASA employees were giving out about it.But no one tried to save them.
    So you tell me?

    There was a ****up, they admit that. But to suggest that they willingly killed them is a different story.

    They knew what the possibility on reentry what was going to happen,they could have in the time made up a rescue plan.They didn't.
    This is not me talking this is what they said in the documentary,they ignored the advice and warnings.And things could have been done to save them but i guess would have cost them to much money.

    Because launching a rescue within the time frame of the shuttles oxygen supply isn't an easy matter.

    Yes the cost effective solution was to blow up the most expensive vehicle ever created, ground the shuttle program for years was the cost effective manner.

    Also your suggestion that they just didn't really give a damn about the shuttle crew's life is a disgusting slur.

    Tell that to the families of the people who died and the other people in NASA who said they ignored it and these people were expendable. Because they didnt want to go to the bother of trying.
    What i said isnt a slur,was insinuated by those people involved in documentary.

    This is why people don't think, or realise what they just blindly accept as truth. NASA is privately owned. I have been told they already send elites to space from Alaska, North Pole and New Zealand;) And they have been using alien technology for years.

    This came to light this week, a shocking indictment of NASA and their capabilities.
    NASA ‘faked England 1966 World Cup win’
    NASA ‘faked England 1966 World Cup win’ thumbnail

    A leading ex-NASA scientist has gone on record to confirm one of the longest-standing conspiracies in the football world: that the American space agency faked footage of the 1966 tournament in order to imply an England win.

    Dr Robert Wellington – who worked for the agency throughout the sixties and seventies – spoke out following ongoing speculation on the internet.

    “We needed a practice run for the moon thing,” he said, from his home in Florida. “And the soccer world cup seemed just the job. We wanted to see if we could delude an entire nation that they could achieve something that was frankly unimaginable. And it worked perfectly.”

    “But we had absolutely no idea that it would become a recurring delusion,” he added.

    The ‘live broadcast’ of the famous 1966 final was, in fact, pre-recorded at Shepperton Studios, then best known for the Boulting Brothers series of comedy films.

    Russian

    “We set up a goal at one end and then used a mixture of live action and models to simulate the game,” recalls Dr Wellington.

    “It was very advanced for the time, although we did make mistakes that eventually people picked up on. A couple of shadows faced in opposite directions, and we presented Alan Ball at completely the wrong scale.”

    “The US government were happy to pay, as long as we figured out a way to incorporate a Russian looking stupid.”

    The hoax paved the way for NASA’s famous moon landing footage of 1969. But in its way, the English dry-run proved more successful.

    “Even forty years on, everybody still talks about our world cup work,” comments Dr Wellington. “Whereas if you come to the States, nobody really mentions the moon landings any more.”

    “Except Buzz Aldrin,” he adds.

    “The English FA did approach us with a view to recreating the project for 2010. They sent us some tapes and everything,” reveals Dr Wellington.

    “But what you have to realise is that for hoaxes to work, they need at least a small element of plausibility. We now have immensely powerful GCI techniques, green screens and animatronic facilities. But we’ve looked at your Emile Heskey – and we can’t do anything with that.”

    Yes because extreme cold and water is just the kind of thing electrical parts want.
    and New Zealand;)

    Yes, this would explain why lord of the rings movies were shot there.
    And they have been using alien technology for years.

    Really because I heard they had reverse engineered care bear technology.

    The cost of a rescue mission was far less that the cost of grounding the shuttle program, the investigation and the cost of loosing 7 astronauts in the line of duty. While this hadn't been thought thru to the Nth degree there were multiple ideas within NASA to launch such a rescue if the need occurred.
    Example in 1980

    There was a f*ckup within NASA, noone disputes that, but to think that they purposely sent 7 astronauts, hundreds of man-hours and the entire future shuttle missions to their demise over this is silly.

    If you're so sure about the money then come back after you've done the maths.

    The way I see it is that I believe most of what NASA tells me, but since the US government controls the pay strings, I believe some shenanigans will have had taken place in the past to ensure national security, etc.

    Pick the easy option:
    Deny X aircraft was not made, and hope the enemy doesn't look into it.
    or
    Blame aliens. "Leak" false information, so that no-one knows what's true, and what isn't. Heck, some of those who leak the false info may start believing it... :pac:

    Both accidents were foreseen by engineers, who were then ignored by NASA managers under pressure to meet launch schedules and cut costs. Renowned during the heady days of Apollo for its clear-eyed evaluation of risk and willingness to do everything possible to reduce it, NASA, some experts felt, had become complacent and bureaucratically rigid. Even while the damaged Columbia was still in orbit, there was a chance the crew could have been rescued by another shuttle if only the true state of her condition had been known. But that chance was tragically missed. "Space Shuttle Disaster" is a penetrating look at the history of the shuttle program and the political pressures that made the shuttle a highly complex engineering compromise, which fell short of its ambitious goal to make space travel routine, cheap, and safe. The film brings to the forefront the uncertain future of human spaceflight after the 2010 scheduled shuttle retirement. Many questions remain, including what are the consequences if the U.S. is out of orbit for five years?

    Had they instead docked with the ISS, the crew could have waited for an emergency rescue mission using one of the other shuttles in the fleet. There would have been enough supplies on board between the shuttle and the ISS to sustain them long enough for this to happen, and then NASA could have figured out how to go about repairing the Columbia in orbit and then bringing it home safely. Nobody needed to die that day. Not for the sake of a flying brick.

    The documentary included people who were there and apart of NASA who had voiced their concern long before re entry was to occur and it was ignored.

    It reminds me of an old industry motto "fast, cheap, and good" pick two.

    The idea that space transport could be routine, cheap and safe is ludicrous.

    It's very easy to do monday morning quarterbacking about shuttle flights.

    Yup. A lot of people in the know are well familar with what's going on our world. To bad most people are so consumed by this matrix.
    The elites are opening wormholes, and have intersteller technology, look at the wormholes they opened in Norway.
