At 12:50am, 23/04/2019 (just short of 4 hours time), the BBC 4 will the broadcasting a rather informative documentary called "Cosmonauts".

 

For people with access to UK TV programming and an interest in the history of space exploration; I strongly recommend this film, having seen it before myself.

It remains for me to say, that the BBC aren't paying me for this endorsement ;)

Has anyone noticed the USA rocket in the hanger in the game when you look at your aircraft?

 

What`s that all about?

The anniversary of the moon landing in 1969 I'd imagine.

Ah... I should`ve realised. That said when I start this sim, i`m thinking in 1940s mode... ☺️

Then your concerns are absolutely understandable with the rocket looking more like a V2 than an Apollo 11.

This reminded me of the day I logged into Rise of Flight to find an I-16 in my hangar. My first thought upon seeing the rocket was, "oh no, they're not giving up on IL-2 to make a space sim now are they?" :biggrin:

Make me wish for V1 having the Tempest to tip it over

Me too ?‍? 
It was the day of my 16th birthday. A wonderful and unforgetable gift !

My brother and I got up early in the morning to watch every Project Mercury, Project Gemini and Project Apollo launch.   Somewhere I have snapshots I took of the television screen broadcasting the moon walks.

 

What a wonderful time to be alive and witness those events!!

Salute !!  And thanks 1C!

Do people still believe the moon landings?  There are so many things wrong with that entire program. But most people are not even bothered to look at the free available information about the inconsistencies of the moon landings.

Watch the documentary "what happened on the moon", to have a bit of an idea how many things don't make sense.

Claiming that those with opposing views are lacking sanity is not a great way to convince someone of your ideas if that is indeed your intention.

You are right. That was uncalled for and i apologize.

But nothing makes sense about that entire program. From photos, to videos, to rockets, to the complete lack of radiation shielding, to the transmission delay, the size of the lander module and it's hatch,  to the jet flame that doesn't match up the actual specs of the fuel used. 

 

Everything is wrong!  Everything.

I prefer Raaaid's line in insanity. More self-aware, and much more entertaining.

Wait, I was told the earth was flat, and that the moon was just a hologram. 

 

I don't know what to believe anymore! :crazy:

He still posts sometimes. His last thread was on finding primes. He'd rediscovered the Sieve of Eratosthenes, 2,200 years too late...

My father met him when he visited Manchester in 1961. Apparently he was a very short man, which could explain the size of the rocket.

They have the time to do things like this,,, but dont have the time to redo modeling on the 50 caliber or the p40 engine.  I find that interesting as this rocket in the hanger crap doesnt help the game at all.
