If so, you'd know that neither alternative makes any sense at all. Before I engage in further debate, let me ask just one question: what evidence will persuade you that you're wrong? I'm perfectly serious -- you have a theory, which virtually everyone else here disagrees with. Clearly, either you're wrong or we are. But for every objection that's been raised here, you say that either people are lying, or covering things up. So -- what would it take to convince you? To be fair, I should answer the same question. I'll find your story credible if any of a number of things happen. (a) Someone publicly demonstrates any one of the technological miracles you've described (cosmospheres, electro- gravitic whatsits, cloned or otherwise-replicated people, etc.) (b) an official who was involved in the coverup or the plot admits it publicly, and produces some documentary evidence. (c) the release, via the Freedom of Information Acts, of substantive documentation of any of this; (d) photos, from a lunar orbiter, of (the wreckage of?) military bases on the moon. You're asking us to prove a negative, a notoriously difficult task, especially when you reject any and all evidence. We're asking you to prove a positive, which is much easier. Do you have any hard evidence? (References to previous issues of the AUDIO LETTER aren't evidence, of course.)
