What "official story" are you talking about? Please cite a reference.
Your official story, cos. I cited my refs. Just nailing down your position so it's established. Prelim is over. Trial starts next post in a new thread.
Right. What justification can you provide to demonstrate otherwise? Evidence please, not suppositions.
Don't worry. More than you want. Starting next thread, from the ground up.
No, I'm bristling at the fact that you won't elaborate on, let alone substantiate any of the vague suggestions you're floating. Parsons may have had weird or unconventional beliefs, sure. But how do you manage to single out that one tidbit and somehow apply it to everyone else from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory? Why do you try to stretch it to include all of NASA and the US space program? Do you not recognize the non-sequitur you've constructed?
That's just a card or two from the deck. I've been saying that all along. The point is that you have radically undersold the situation with Parsons. I am fully going to demonstrate this. When I do so, you or someone else is going to shift the goal post to "It
still doesn't mean it's got anything to do with NASA." That's why I established the "official story." It does.
It's not about all of JPL or all of NASA. It never is in any org anywhere ever, let alone in a classified situation. Throw out that whole argument, because it doesn't hold water. Shit, the guys making the capsules didn't have clue one as to what the guys making the space suits were doing, let alone anything going on up the chain.
Stay in your unit. It's the code in any strategic situation. That line of argument is inadmissible, not to mention vapid. Drop it here.
You also know Parsons died several years before NASA was even established, right?
Cos, I know far more about Captain Jack than you can ever comprehend. Not because I'm blessed with any special insight, just because I haven't closed down the aperture of my world the way you guys have.
I wouldn't care if Parsons dressed up as a hobbit and danced high on opium in the moonlight, whatever floated his boat in his spare time. What mattered were his contributions to rocketry. Neither magical incantations nor reverence for obscure ancient Egyptian deities get payload off the ground.
Exactly. You aren't supposed to care. Your not even supposed to notice. You
are supposed to mock it. So far, looks like things are working out well. As to Captain Jack's spare time, it has had more influence on you than any rocket
ever could. Ample evidence to follow. As for the Egyptian deities, that they are obscure to you does not mean that they are obscure to all. Not a small difference, as will be seen.
If you're going to claim that all of NASA has "occult roots" (whatever that means): 1) explain it, 2) demonstrate it.
That's just it. You
don't know what it means. Others do. They don't agree with your assessment and never have. They don't see it as Hobbit droppings and frolic, like you do. Only difference is they got the rockets and you don't, so their opinion counts and your doesn't.
It wouldn't be a big deal. You just can't show that the claim is true. Even if you could, you haven't breathed a word of what significance you think it would have, or why.
I'm going to show just that. By the way, go back and look at the patch. You shrugged off Altas. Another insignificance to you, not to others.
I don't, as it should be abundantly clear.
Yes. It's abundantly clear. It's also abundantly shortsighted and myopic. It ain't all your fault though, so don't take it personally. You had help. Lots and lots of help. That's the underlying theme of it all.
Jack's spare time has had more influence on you than anything else you can think of. You'll see. Or not. If not, it won't be for lack of evidence though.
My musical tastes are numerous and diverse, but that has no bearing on whatever story you're trying to cobble together.
Heh. It has
everything to do with the story I even haven't begun to "cobble together." I don't cobble, I build. And I'm guessing your tastes are not as diverse as you might think. Do me a favor and we'll see. Make a list of 20 artists you like. That will show you all sorts of stuff.
What's the significance of one person in JPL's distant past adopting a fringe polytheistic belief set?
You couldn't have asked a better question to end all this. Had anyone asked such a simple and sane question at the beginning, there's no telling how far along we'd be. Instead, it's been nonstop insistence that there isn't any possibility. Well there is. And that's what the new thread will be all about. More significance than you ever dreamed of.
See ya there.
