You obviously don't know why it's speculation, because it's certainly not based on the above. Don't worry, I'll point it out for you further along...
Yes, well we all know that speculation is your forte... and the only thing that you have since you have NO FACTS to support your case.
Oh, and don't worry... I'll point it out for you further along....

'Dropped entirely' was meant as 'dropped for the entire event'. I guess I was too tired to even notice. But of course, you take a massive leap of logic to make your own conclusions.
I'm sorry that I'm not psychic and can only base my replies on what you actually post, not what you are allegedly thinking.

Hey! Guess where we are here? Of course - this is where it all becomes speculation!!
Yes, I know... because again, all you are doing here is speculating. You AGAIN have NO FACTS to support you.

This is much like the belief in the 'USSR whistleblower' story - it assumes the USSR would certainly know if Apollo was faked (unproven), and it assumes the USSR would tell the world it was a fake (also unfounded), since nothing could be better than to shame those capitalist American pigs (except the massive ransom they could extort to stay silent!). It's speculation upon more speculation.
See what you did there?
You
SPECULATED that the USSR would "hold the USA for ransom" and provided NO FACTS TO SUPPORT YOUR POINT.
You have no proof that that is what happened.
You have only speculation based on your warped world view.

As for Parkes, perhaps you haven't read this part....
" Keith Aldworth – who was a part of the team at Tidbinbilla – writes,
“When the Apollo missions began, Tidbinbilla’s 64 metre antenna had not been built and as we all know, Parkes Radio Telescope was seconded to NASA for periods of about six weeks around the Apollo missions. At the Parkes site, the equipment necessary for these missions was installed and remained there throughout"
http://www.honeysuck...rkes/index.html
So now you know - it was NASA's equipment used at Parkes during Apollo, which was (of course) installed by NASA
Funny how you quote doesn't actually say that NASA supplied the equipment, just that it was "installed and remained there throughout"...
In fact, earlier on that page you picked that quote from, it says this:
Quote
Parkes used NASA payments to enhance the capabilities of the facility
Which to any rational person (in other words, pretty much anyone but you) would indicate that NASA paid Parkes for the use of their facility, then Parkes bought the necessary equipment to upgrade their facility.
Even funnier how you omit the
VERY NEXT SENTENCE in your quote above:
Quote
A team of people from Tid was detailed to man the Parkes site
And then there's this a little further on:
Quote
During the lead up to missions, the group travelled up to Parkes to prepare and install equipment.
So here we have, once again from your own source, evidence that shows that while NASA supplied the money for the use of the Parkes site, the Australian government bought and installed the equipment necessary to upgrade the facility, then ran the site themselves.
Geez, Turbs... its SO unlike you to cherry-pick parts of a quote to make it sound like it supports your position...
Oh waitasec... no, that's
EXACTLY LIKE YOU TO DO THAT since you have demonstrated NO INTELLECTUAL HONESTY whatsoever.
Quote
You have any other excuses?
The only excuse I can present is that I must have been thinking that it would be possible to have an honest conversation with you about this topic without you resorting to your standard bag of dishonest HB tricks.
For that obviously flawed and mistaken assumption, I do apologize.
I suppose I could ask you what your excuse is for your fabrications, cherry picking, goal post shifting and intellectual dishonesty, but really, no excuses are necessary, since I'd really only be asking you to lie to us some more.
Quote
Well, it is a moot point. It was NASA equipment, as we know.
No, its not a moot point since it was INSTALLED AND MANNED by Australian technicians, as proven by the link you have provided.
You know... it might be a better plan for you to actually stop providing evidence, Turbs.
It seems that everything you present actually works to prove you completely wrong. Not the best strategy someone should take when trying to convince others.
Quote
I have. But thank you for confirming you have no evidence in the document to support your claim
And here you go again with your hypocritical intellectual dishonesty.
YOU ARE MAKING THE CLAIM.
YOU MUST PROVE IT.
ITS YOUR BURDEN OF PROOF, just as it has been all along
Me showing you that your evidence actually works against you is not making a claim, its showing you that your claim is invalid.
However, since you now claim to have read the document, please show us
with actual quotes from the document including page numbers, how you think it would be possible to simulate an entire mission without the controllers knowing it was a simulation.
And also, please answer Obviousman's question:

I'm still waiting for Turbs to quote which section of the document they stated supports their views.
