The Space History They Don't Want You To Know
Shubber Ali played this for me and a few others on his laptop when we were sitting around drinking margaritas out of the pistonless pump Friday night at the Space Access Conference in April.
It's about a ten-minute Ken-Burns-like documentary video, complete with mournful fiddle music and spirituals. You'll find it a gripping and poignant story. You'll also find it an extremely politically-incorrect hoot.

Converting a Cadillac to land on the moon is quite a feat. How could anyone be sceptical that we landed there? LOL!

Why put an F-1 on a caddy?
Too much engine for that car. An RL-10 would be perfect, even better on a Vette as that 60's cool would keep the propellant at cryogenic temps for the duration.

The professor who couldn't say a single line without clarifying was very funny, hysterical if you will.

Wow, I had no idea about this missing history from 1957, or '58.
