I hate to burst your balloon but for many of us here, this ain't our first rodeo. We have had experience with people who think they can pull off a fast one. Any minute now he is going to claim to have photograph evidence of the attack of the attack of the Van Halen suspenders on Apollo 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats is a very easy thing to say, as we have no way to know how much money you will claim as "production/marketing" cost. Unless you want to share your financial records?

Derek Willis Posted July 23, 2019 #1028 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I find the near obsession with the details regarding the pre-orders fascinating. It wasn't something I had planned. I didn't solicit anything. I was contacted by someone who wanted to pre-order a copy. I said if that is what they want to do, then fine. Word then seemed to pass along some sort of grapevine, and other people did the same. It was as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am rather busy right now writing a book about Howard Hughes. However, I will look in on UM from time to time. People are under the impression Howard Hughes died in 1976. The truth is, he used his billions to build a spaceship to take him to Aldebaran. That is why he lost so much weight - to reduce the payload of the spaceship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being serious. His full name was Howard Robard Hughes Jnr. See how many letters in his name are also in Aldebaran - seven out of nine. The odds of this being a coincidence are over 3.625 billion to one! I showed some people the draft of my book, which is called "Howard Hughes Knew My Father".

The problem with you is very narcissistic, you believe yourself to be a truth seeker and yet you ignore the mountain of data to pick what you believe to be anomalies to call most all of the Apollo program a hoax. You have no credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted July 23, 2019 #1049 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Given the last few posts where Derek reveals he doesn't get numerology and probability (it's now a long list of stuff) and also invokes aliens and cool sounding stars, and also the fact that the ONLY book currently available from Derek K. Willis is a science fiction tale (that involves, oh so coincidentally, an Apollo mission conspiracy).... does anyone smell a very long winded (and extremely putrid) troll? Unsurprisingly, that book (which is, of course, not called 'Howard Hughes Knew My Father') has not exactly received accolades, just the usual 2-3 self-arranged reviews that every failure has.. I shall not dignify it with a name or link (not that it would matter - this trainwreck is OVER). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
