It’s a nice … It’s a nice coincidence I see your comment now. I was just watching some of those conspiracy videos to get some nice laughs, but I just had to watch some of Phil’s videos afterward for some sanity and actual entertainment!
I think you made a … I think you made a mistake with your milky way galaxy model. The galaxy is 100,000 light years across, but only 1000 light years thick, and you represented a scale model with a few stacked CD’s. But your model is way too thick, if it was 100 cm, or 1 meter, across, then it would only be a centimeter thick. If the galaxy was the size of a CD, about 11.5 cm across, it would be 0.115 cm, barely more than a millimeter thick. That’s about as thick as only 1 CD, maybe 2.
Saw you speak. … Saw you speak. Someone asked why we haven’t seen images of the moon in sub 100 m resolution from the two probes which have been there for 7 months? now?
So what is your excuse now for no images of the moon?
You said you thought we would receive some images soon. Well, here we are 7 months later and no images.
Even your hero Seth Shostack said we haven’t really looked for alien artifacts on the moon.
its such a shame … its such a shame that people like phil have a few videos only 5 minutes long, yet there are hours and hours of bs on anything and everything from the faked moon landings to the return of planet niburu in 2012…oh dear.
The sheer number of … The sheer number of Doomsday prophecies out there now is staggering. Apparently, the Earth will flood in 2012, burn in 2015, suffer a plague in 2019, and now will get hit by asteroid(s) in 2027 to 2039. I think the Ring of Fire is supposed to erupt in 2010 as well. Not to mention, of course, the number of times we’re supposed to have wiped ourselves out by now.
I’d like to ask a … I’d like to ask a follow-up question. I love Bad Astronomy, and I got excited when you said you were going to talk about how to tell what kind of galaxy you’re in without having to look from the outside. But then you didn’t talk about how we can tell the Milky Way is a barred spiral. Sadness!
I describe galaxies: what they are, what kinds there are, and how we know the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.

is the BA in Q and BA a reference to bad astronomy? or bad answers? lol just kidding

I’m beginning to …
I’m beginning to think that either there are alien artifacts on the back side of the moon, or the US has some kind of base.
WHERE ARE THE HI_RES IMAGES!?
The main talking point needs to focus on the IMPLIED TRUST of the government.
YOU CANNOT TRUST NASA, the Air Force, NSA, DHS, etc.
So why, Phil do you think there are no artifacts WHEN WE HAVEN’T EVEN LOOKED. HOW CLOSED MINDED CAN YOU BE????!?!!
March 24th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
We need to keep …
We need to keep asking question.
Where are the sub 50m resolution images?
Why no apollo 18 mission?
Why only two probes since apollo?
Why no hi-res, sub 50 m resolution images of the moon?
The mars images are 100 times closer than what we have for the moon. Why?
Obviously we went to the moon, but why no focussed images of any of the Apollo sites?
Where is the Apollo 11 original hi-res vide? IT IS LOST! Why?

Also worth noting …
Also worth noting is Japanese officials recently claiming that UFO’s are real just when jaxa has a probe on the moon?
The only information the public has on the “dark” side of the moon comes from the government.
So, for you to claim that there are no alien artifacts on the “dark” side of the moon implies a major trust of the government.
Ralph Struthers, a former nasa mechanical engineer told my father that he saw pictures of ruins.
He is one of many. so who do you trust?
