PoliticsRe: Hoax! America Didnt Go To The Moon! by NINETOFIVE(m): 4:35pm On Nov 08, 2007
Kobojunkie:
well, ok, I watched a documentary yesterday on youtube and how more and more kids are getting on to the movie making fad. This one boy, about 13, has a green screen in his room and he was able to make a movie. I have a video editing software that allows me to take existing movies, make changes to them, add my own shots in there and apply changes to any part of the movie I want. So, after watching those movies, I am sorry they make no sense to me cause I can see the inserts like daylight and like someone said earlier, for 30 billion dollars and RUSSIA and the SOVIET UNION watching, I would like instead to know that that very video was posted by NASA and that that RUSSIA saw that in all their technology and still believed the moon walk was real.  grin
Is a God Given right to remain dumb. what do you know about Russia, Russians has almost a different account of every inventions including the moon landing stuff,  ne govory toshto tiy nesnayet, tiy ponimaesh?

[size=15pt]I 've been reading this thread for a while, and I have noticed with great disappointment how people are not very independent in their thinking, at this junction you actually want to start considering if Dr Watson was right. People switch off their brain, unable to apply logic's and would keep demanding for documents to prove every single point, reminds me only of zombie,  by this demand to peddle only written documents here, one has to be completely divorced from the very issue at hand, I thought this discussion should be about Application of logic's.


lets apply logic here rather, man has been to the space and  has displayed the desire to continue the exploration of the space, by up grading the transportation system to the space from conventional rockets to more efficient and comfortable means called space shuttle, therefore using only rockets for launching, there is a very visible modern day  continuance in the exploration of the space, because space travel is real, the space is not parse out of this earth, the space is only partially out of the atmosphere and with a diminished effect of gravity, but the space does not lack oxygen, hence flying objects so far invented by man which depends on hot air to gain upthrust could be used to explore the space, this is not the case with the moon landing stuff which is very evident that the moon exploration was either discarded or that it never was.




Many times, it has been said that the moon is sort of a vacuum with no oxygen, people has failed to apply deeper  thought, that all flying objects invented by man so far depends on hot air to gain upthrust and air can not be generated in a vacuum, which would make the principle of flying as we know it not to apply  once any flying objects known by man enters the moon space. even if man would depend on free fall to land in the moon once the rocket or the space shuttle enters the moon space, man would not  be able to make it back to the earth, because their flying craft would not be able to generate any air for an upthrust during the take off. the people that came up with the moon landing thing knew that the world is full of intellectual slaves unable to think independently, this shit don't fly with NINETOFIVE, so let all the madness stop now, for you to generate heavy wind with a propeller, there is need for air to be present in the atmosphere, even the heavy furnace the turbo engine emits can not even apply in a vacuum.[/size]

Afam:
I know why exams are written, not just to test memory but to solve the basic problem of supply exceeding demand be it in the area of admission, job seeking etc. This is the main reason for exams because there must be a fair way to say yes to some and no to others.

However, if people cannot even understand the basic information here is it the creativity issue that you want to delve into? Good luck to you. You must understand your target audience before you pass information across to them lest you be wasting time and energy.

Not surprised at the lame attempt by some to reduce the whole issue to exams.
I do understand what you mean, thanks for a level headed reply.

To Afam ansd Davidylon,


If you guys actually think those exams you two are bickering about is the yard stick the Europeans used in measuring and came to the conclusion that they are superior, then I may disappoint you by saying that you two are actually militating the old mans point, exams are only meant to test your memory and to some extend mere mental exercise, I call it brain bashing. Exams are based on informations you already had afore knowledge of, or test of your application of informations you had afore knowledge of in different but equivalent perspective. this guys are mostly basing their assumptions on creativity, the guys that came up with those informations you learn before the exams are the creative guys, you guys are killing yourselfs over nothing.

@bibiking1

I'm warning you O! I'm not black. If you keep generalizing that black thing we go fight O! I may have to put that your brown belt to the test.


I am not black and I hate black people. I also hope you're not black too because I'll hate you too.
With all respect and not having to condescend, the main thing responsible for the way you feel right now is ignorance, the blackness of your skin is just a mechanical device the body developed, in having to adapt itself to high intensity of the UV ray in the tropical region, this is referred to as melanin, the skin colour of a certain group of people is inconsequential cause is subject to change, and the primary factor that determines this is the climate. it takes 10, 000 years for dark skin people to mutate into lighter skin if the weather of their habitat changes from warmer to cooler, and it takes a lot lesser [approximately 1/5 of 10,000 years, though at this time they would still retain straight hair] for the light skin people to mutate into dark skin if the weather of their habitat changes from cooler to warmer weather. With the present climate change, in the future 99.9% percent of mankind would be dark skin [am not superstitious but this notion coincides with the statement Nostradamus made that the black gene would dominate the white gene and the whole world would turn black], this trend has happened before, this is why science concluded that all the races you know today had common ancestor. though after the era of the whole world tuning dark skin has passed, in about 12 to 13,000 years from now, we would once again have the same diverse sets of race of mankind like we have today, but the difference is that races as we know it today would have swapped.  So may you Denex quit being delusional, and accept yourself and know that there is nothing negative about being black. The only thing is that tropical weather tends to make people a little laid back.

Excellent point made @NineToFive

This is exactly what I said in the other posts. There is no need to be offended to tell the man to retract his statement cause of our "FEELINGS" but instead we are to take it as a Challenge and PROVE to him and the many others who believe as he does but are not bold enough to tell the world, that his hypothesis is infact wrong, IF WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE CASE.
Thank you, the point is that I only tried to analyse this situation without any human emotions, one does not need a lot of research to notice the power or the ingenuity of the humans brain, is simple, take a walk into any European pretty high tech factories, see what they ve done with automation, you will see the correlation in the old dudes statement.  Our forefathers were not to be blamed for lack of legacies because they had no need for most of the thing invented by European as a survival front, rather the present generation should be blamed for not taking the challenge as a matter of competition.

If you guys want to know where the old man drew his conclusions from, go through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-84852.0.html#msg1573272 you would surely be enlightened. the Europeans are not genetically superior to black people or more intelligent than Africans, but it should be noted that the nature of their environment made it possible for them to have made a lot use of their brain than Africans. we would be bunch of Idiots not to see this, the brain is like muscle tissue, the more you exercise it, the better it works, the capabilities of the human brain is not quantifiable, food for thought, they held this same view about the Asians before, but today the Yellow race are far smarter than Europeans, this is why the intelligent quotient of a particular region is not static, If we Africans would challenge our selves, we can even do better than the yellow race, is all about determination.

Ezekiel Izogu, managing director of Izogu Motors Limited managing director disclosed this in an exclusive interview with BUSINESSDAY.

Izogu said the car was first launched in Owerri in 1997 by then Chief of General Staff Oladipo Diya during the regime of former Head of State Sani Abacha.

But the success story really began last year when Izogu was invited by South Africa to deliver a lecture on science and technology. Izogu said: "The South African Government encouraged me more than my own country. Mbeki sent his deputy-president to receive me and told me how ready they were to encourage me and to provide what I wanted.

"However, they said I must take the car to South Africa to let it be manufactured in their country. If they are putting up the money it is only fair that the car is made in their country".

He added that the board of directors at Izogu Motors was in the process of taking the car to South Africa, but he stressed that the Z600 would "lose its Nigerian identity".

For the car to be truly Nigerian, he said, the engine, chassis and body would have to be made in this country.

He claimed that "ethnic politics killed this product in Nigeria". "After the car's launch the Federal Government formed a high-powered team of scientists to probe my work. This team was led by the then Science and Technology Minister, Sam Momoh.

The team was drawn from research institutions in Nigeria. "They spent three days in Owerri investigating my job. Questions were asked and I answered them.

"When the team went back to Abuja, matters concerning the car were discussed at an executive council meeting which resulted in a commendation letter being sent to me.

[size=18pt]"But politics of ‘why must it be an Igbo man' came up. I was shocked!" [/size]


Despite these set-backs Izogu said "the world will feel and touch a car made in |South Africa instead of a car that should have been made in Nigeria".

"This car must be mass produced. It is worth doing that I as a Nigerian.

*Design history, moulds of Nigerian made car stolen[/size]


An indigenous motor manufacturing company, Izuogu Motors Limited, Naze Owerri, Imo State, has lost property valued at over one billion naira to burglary.

According to the chairman of the company, Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu, some armed men numbering about 12 broke into Izuogu Motors factory, Saturday, March 11, between 1.00 and 2.00 a.m. and carted away various machines and tools including a design history notebook of Z-600, the design file Z-MASS, containing the design history for mass production of Z-600 car, a proposed locally made car and the moulds for various parts of the car.

Izuogu, who has laboured for 18 years under very difficult circimstances to design and produce the stolen moulds, lamented that the moulds took 10 years to design and build.

“The perplexing thing about this theft is that it is clear that none of the stolen items can be sold in the market. Since the Z-600 is not yet in the market, the items stolen can only be used by the 600 phototype which is just one car,” he told journalists.

He wondered why other highly valued machines and tools in the factory were not touched by the robbers if they were looking for money.

“It seems that the target of this robbery is to stop the efforts we are making to mass-produce the first ever locally made car in Africa,” he stated, adding: “Other items stolen after a quick inventory conducted by the company soon after the incident include locally produced timing wheel, locally produced year camshaft, locally produced crankshaft, locally produced engine tappets, all 20 pieces each. Also stolen are 10 pieces of locally produced Z-600 engine blocks, 10 pieces of locally produced pistons, 4 pieces of engine block mounds, 4 pieces of top engine block moulds, 10 pieces of engine fly wheel and 2 pieces each of rear car and front mudguard moulds.

The moulds stolen took 10 years to design and build. In monetary terms they are valued over one billion Naira. But the problem is not the money but the time and energy it took to design and produce these moulds. To worsen the matter, our design notebook has also been stolen.”

He regarded the loss as a national economic disaster were the nation to appreciate the value of technological and intellectual property.

Izuogu therefore appealed to the Federal Government, the security agencies and all well-meaning Nigerians to assist in the recovery of the stolen items.

The robbers had mercilessly beaten the security men and tied them up before forcing the factory open, he added.

Is just the nature of Europeans, they are the most incompatible race, the reason for the divorce race is the me me attitude, most of the time they consider only themselves. so people don't try to copy this useless way of life, cause you might have to commit suicide in the end when you would be moving from one relationship to another till you are old and lonely, believe me this is the curse of depression and suicide prevalent in Europe and America.

ages.

White people are scandalous. Just look at Russia. When they needed our help, they named one

of their universities after Patrice Lumumba and now they are picking off black people one by one in Moscow

At least Europeans cover their negro phobia under a cloth of liberal Humanist Enlightenment thinking.
