Talk:Patrick Moore
Allegedly: "In his lifetime Sir Patrick Moore met Orville Wright, Yuri Gargarin and Neil Armstrong. From Kitty Hawk to the Moon in three handshakes." Scream!! (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2012 (UTC)4
RIP[edit]
I just played this in his memory. Balaam (talk) 20:31, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
"He also once predicted, wrongly, the arrival of humans on the Moon in 1980."[edit]
When did he predict this? Did he say, after the final Apollo mission, that we'd be back on the Moon by 1980? Or did he, pre-1969, predict that we'd be on the Moon by 1980? The sentence is vague, and useless as it stands. SophieWilder 18:49, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
- In early sixties, he estimated man would arrive on the Moon in 1980. --Albannach (talk) 18:56, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
- It seemed a bad prediction when I read it, in the eighties... but thinking about it from the standpoint of 2013, eleven years isn't that far out in the scale of things. And I think his assumption that we'd be back in his lifetime was completely reasonable. -Albannach (talk) 19:20, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Star Trek going PC[edit]
Yeah, that show wasn't the same after Roddenberry took over, making sure there was always a Rusky and a black woman on the bridge. </sarcasm>
Seriously, though, Trek has always been PC and left-wing. If you didn't notice it until Janeway you just suck at paying attention, dude. Wehpudicabok [話] [変] [留] 21:20, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
