Did anyone else follow the Artemis II moon mission?
The most famous disaster occurred not in space, but during ground tests: Apollo 1 (January 27, 1967): The crew of Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee died during a fire in the cockpit of the ship on the launch pad. The cause was a spark in the atmosphere of pure oxygen. This tragedy has forced NASA to completely rethink the safety of the ships.
The "mysterious" statistics of cardiovascular diseases In 2016, a study by Professor Michael Delp was published, which is often interpreted as a sign of a "curse" or strange consequences of flights: High mortality from heart disease: Participants in lunar missions (those who left the Earth's protective magnetic field) died from heart attacks and cardiovascular problems 4-5 times more often than their colleagues who flew only to low Earth orbit.
Proponents of the "lunar conspiracy" theory claim that NASA allegedly eliminated those who could tell the truth about the fake landings. They include "suspicious" deaths.:
Thomas Baron: A quality inspector who wrote a critical report on safety issues at NASA. He died in a car accident with his family a week after testifying in Congress. The official version is an accident.
Edward Givens: An astronaut who died in a car accident in 1967.
Robert Lawrence: The first black astronaut to die in a plane crash in the same year.
And now your president says that missing or death of ten NASA scientists is just a random stuff and coincidences and everyone should FOF.
So moon fake conspiracy then? Do you deny that the soviet union tracked the apollo landings transmissions from earth orbit to lunar orbit to at rest on lunar surface and back to earth?
I am not denying the first fly to the Moon or your new effort, I am just asking - why is that happens?
What are you hidding?
My new effort? Argentina barely has a space program with intermittent, partially funded attempts at launch vehicles and a half-decent, small scale satellite assembly program. We've never had any astronauts (will, unless you count two rats and a monkey the 60s).

How is Apollo 1 proof of anything other than space launch in the 60s being a very dangerous affair? Bondarenko died in a similar fire many years earlier, and Komarov was killed on the first manned Soyuz flight (and his remains were autopsied and immediately cremated by order of the Soviet government - that's suspicious!). Do you also think there's a conspiracy theory with the Soviet manned space program?
Also, five minutes with an academic search engine:
The differences in age structure between lunar and nonlunar astronauts and the deaths of LEO astronauts from external causes at young ages lead to confounding in proportional mortality studies of astronauts. When age and follow-up time are properly taken into account using cohort-based methods, no s …
Results: Lunar astronauts were significantly older at cohort entry than other astronaut group and lunar astronauts alive as of the end of 2015 were significantly older than nonflight astronauts and LEO astronauts. No significant differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rates between astronaut groups was observed, though lunar astronauts were noted to be at significantly lower risk of death by CVD than are members of the U.S. general population (SMR = 13, 95% CI = 3-39).
Shocking, older people tend to die from cardiovascular disease at a greater rate than younger people!
Also, lunar astronauts actually have lower cardiovascular disease rate than the general population, maybe the moon actually heals them! (The more probable reason is that astronauts were in better shape and had access to better healthcare than the general population).
Perhaps you will stop calling me an anti-semite for the sole reason I call Israel what it really is now (a genocide machine).
No, he's calling you an anti-semite because you keep referring to him being Jewish and tie him to supporting Israel solely because of that, you ignorant Cossack.
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
