MoonFaker: Phil Plait, Mythbusters & Dirty Tricks. PART 4

For years, Bad Astronomy webmaster Phil Plait has dodged the following questions. 1. How can you allege that the idea that NASA and the government would murder their own astronauts is "a particularly loathsome accusation", when in fact the CIA’s General William H. Craig came up with Operation Dirty Trick: a proposal to blame John Glenn's possible death aboard Friendship 7 on the Cubans and use his death to justify all out war? 2. How can you frequently allege that Bill Kaysing said "any kind of space travel is impossible", when in the exact same interview that you refer to Kaysing explicitly says "I will concede that certain unmanned vehicles might have made it to the moon. The Russians are supposed to have sent some unmanned vehicles to the moon. And possibly our Surveyor did land on the moon."? 3. How can you allege that there were major solar flares during the Apollo missions when NOAA's Comprehensive Flare Index for Major Flares explicitly logs 30 major x-ray solar flares during the time eight of those missions were supposedly in cislunar space? In today's episode, I meet Phil Plait (and Adam Savage) face to face at TAM8. This was indeed an Amazing Meeting to remember!
