October 20, 200421 yr not sure if anybody has ever heard of phil plait but he's appearing at the columbus state university science center in columbus, GA. phil runs the site badastronomy.com and goes by the appropriate moniker "the bad astronomer." of course, not that he's "bad" as an astronomer (he actually refers to himself as a fair to good astronomer, but that's another story...) but he has made quite a name for himself debunking bad astronomy/science in movies, print, tv, etc. (like, every time a spaceship flies by and you hear a "whoosh" kinda stuff...) anyway, here's the link. i figured i'd post this since there's been so much pseudo-science bandied about lately... ahem. taks comrade taks... just because.

October 20, 200421 yr Author ohhhhh... nobody in particular. btw, if you're big on the "moon hoax," phil's site is a great place to go get owned. he puts the kebosh on that garbage quite well. taks comrade taks... just because.
October 20, 200421 yr Hmm, might have to go to that. Columbus is about a four hour drive from here, but might be worth the effort.
October 21, 200421 yr Author visit phil's site first. eye opener to say the least. i love this guy (platonically, of course). i've been following him for several years now. since he was a mere babe in the woods sort. bright, but that isn't his strength. i see it as an ability to state the otherwise obvious in a sea of misdirection. join his BBS if you're really interested... i post as taks there, too, but not very often. i prefer just to read from the informed astronomy types what they think. taks comrade taks... just because.
