Today is the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon. It was an amazing achievement for mankind, but where man goes, poop follows! Oh yes, my friends, the Apollo 11 astronauts left behind more than footprints on the moon:
The journey to the moon took three days, three hours, and 49 minutes, and just like any human, the crew had to relieve themselves.
But going to the bathroom on a spaceship looks nothing like it does here on Earth.
Even with the technology we have today, pooping in space is a cumbersome experience.
Astronauts are trained to strap into special toilets that suck solid waste into garbage bags, which are then placed in airtight containers.
But there was no toilet on Apollo 11, or any other Apollo spacecraft for that matter.
In fact, the first toilet wasn't installed on a US spacecraft until the 1980s.
So, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had to 'do it in the suit.'
Each of them wore a 'urine collective device' under their spacesuits, which was essentially a diaper with a roll-on cuff to provide sanitary protection.
The collected urine would then be transferred through a rubber tube into a liquid waste tank - but pooping on the Apollo 11 spacecraft was a lot trickier.
The astronauts used 'fecal bags,' which were essentially plastic bags taped to the buttocks to capture feces.
Aligning the bag's opening with the flap at the back of the astronauts' spacesuits was also challenging.
The entire process could take roughly 45 minutes, according to one Apollo astronaut's estimate, and it would get messy.
After doing their business, the Apollo 11 astronauts' sealed up the baggie, added some bactericide, and 'kneaded' it to mix it all together.
Most of the baggies went into larger human waste bags, except for a few that the astronauts brought back to Earth for testing.
After Apollo 11 finally touched down on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, the astronauts had to offload some weight. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make the nearly 500,000 mile journey back home.
While preparing for the flight back to Earth, Armstrong and Aldrin spent about eight minutes tossing anything that wasn't necessary from the spacecraft, including bags of human waste.
From 1961 to 1975, the Apollo missions left almost 100 bags of, urine, feces and vomit on the moon.
You have to give it to the Daily Mail. Other publications are focused on the achievement of landing on the moon, but not the Daily Mail. They go right for the lowest angle possible, and then they just ride it right until the end of the article. 😂
I will never look at the moon quite the same way again.
Were there two shooters trying to assassinate Trump?
A friend of mine sent me a link to this video on X that purports to prove that there were two shooters. I usually upload videos to Substack, but this one is too long, so I’m just going to link you over to it. I’ll let you watch the video and make up your own mind about whether there were two shooters.
What makes me consider it somewhat plausible is knowing that there was supposedly a local law enforcement sniper team inside the building that the shooter was on when he fired his shots at Trump. Think about that for a moment. The shooter was on the roof, but there were snipers inside the building. Did any of them fire at Trump from a window in the building?
What makes me think the two-shooter theory is bullshit is that Trump is still alive. If there were two - including professional snipers - I find it hard to believe he would still be alive. It seems to me that the second shooter would have gotten him somehow.
I generally do not like going down this kind of rabbit hole, but I mention it here because it seems to me that what happened to Trump was a failed set-up. So maybe the Deep State had another shooter firing from a window in that building, while the patsy shooter was on the roof? Or perhaps the entire theory is bullshit and just a way to get people to waste their time while the Deep State attempts to cover its tracks?
The Secret Service director is supposed to testify on Monday. I expect she’ll refuse to answer many questions because of “an ongoing investigation.” That’s how the FBI usually gets away with ignoring Congress. The FBI is also going to testify, so you can expect to hear that from them too.
1. The rooftop that Crooks fired at Trump from was an obvious security risk.
2. Secret Service allowed local law enforcement to be placed inside the building instead of on the rooftop. Bongino said on his July 18, 2024, podcast episode that sources have told him that local police snipers were put inside because they were snipers versus counter-snipers and believed they could do the job from the second floor of the building.
3. There was a lack of security of the building on the ground, allowing Crooks to access the rooftop.
4. Local law enforcement first spotted Crooks near a magnetometer with a range finder around 3 p.m. — about three hours before Trump spoke — but then was lost track of.
5. Despite local law enforcement officers reportedly spotting Crooks about an hour before Trump was to speak — hanging around outside the building, and then seen scoping the rooftop, returning with a backpack and pulling out a range finder — and reporting him to a command center, he was not stopped and questioned.
6. Secret Service reportedly spotted Crooks at 5:52 p.m. on the rooftop — about 20 minutes before Trump took the stage — but did not stop Trump from taking the stage.
7. Despite Crooks pulling out his weapon and getting into position to shoot Trump, Secret Service snipers did not do anything before he fired at Trump.
8. Trump took the stage at 6:02 p.m., but nothing was done to get him off the stage for 10 minutes, until Crooks was able to fire at him at 6:12 p.m.
9. There was no drone surveillance of the rally that could have alerted law enforcement to Crooks climbing to the rooftop sooner.
The last point stood out for me, since drones have become so widely used for military and law enforcement purposes. Yet the Secret Service had no drones whatsoever in use at the Trump rally? Why not? Drones are cheap, effective, and provide excellent coverage of the area of an event. You’d think that there would have been a couple of them in the air, monitoring the event for signs of threats.
The other point about the local law enforcement snipers being inside the building the shooter was on also stood out to me. Who were these people? Did any of them fire shots at Trump from the window of the building? The excuse of the “sloped roof” is obviously bullshit, since the snipers that killed Crooks were also on a sloped roof.
Fauci mouths off about Trump’s wound
When is this piece of crap going to be prosecuted and put in prison for pushing the not-vaccines on the world? How many have been injured or died because of his lies? Yet he is still free to try to minimize Trump’s wound. 🙄
Nancy Pelosi is out for blood
I don’t doubt David Sack’s assessment at all. Pelosi plays rough, even when fighting with someone on her own team. She wants Biden out, and she’ll win.
Speaking of Biden, Elon Musk summed it up well. They are going to get rid of him, one way or another. 😂
So, what's up with the established fact, about a cop coming up on the roof, seeing a guy with a goddamn rifle (!), then just going on back down the ladder?? What happened to *that* really weird event?
Apparently they found Alice Kramden up there, too: https://veryvintagevegas.com/2009/07/22/to-the-moon-alice-to-the-moon/
