[FPSPACE] Why do they do it? One possible answer

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi - 

Why do they do it? One possible answer is that Shi Yu was taken in by 
someone trying to pass themselves off as a Dr. Qu Zheng of JPL, when in fact it was someone who is a part of "the man did not walk on the Moon" and "the face on Mars"  crowd.

There are certain offshoots of old US theosophists groups who believe that all planets including the Moon were actually inhabited. They hold this as a religious belief. In their belief system, since the planets were inhabited, the have physical remains of those habitations. They believe that since NASA wants to hide the existence of those remains, all manned space flight to the Moon was either faked, or heavily censored. Among those who believe that NASA faked manned space flight, there is a subgroup who promote the idea that the radiation in space makes manned space flight impossible.
Thus in their belief system Chinese astronauts could not have walked in space.

Perhaps this fraud is a part of the most wide spread and well organized international cult being promoted today. You can write to me for an earlier draft of a piece covering this cult, which unfortunately I have not had time to update for this particular bit of nonsense. But the piece as it sits now will tell you how it is done, and why. 

Simply add your  request for this draft to your request for a draft copy of Volume 2 of my History of Cosmonautics.

PS - It looks like NASA and the CNSA have something in common.
