Landing on Moon: was that true?????? ( Archived) (947)

So the geological evidence is faked as well?

Gimme a break!

Until you can prove this silliness, I'll just write you off as another clown on CS.

I take it that you still believe in Santa Claus ??

Does it matter?

geological evidence !!!

Those same rocks can be found at the north pole !

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer will revolutionize what we know about invisible cosmic rays the same way NASA's Hubble Space Telescope rewrote what we know about the visible universe says the intellectual force behind the instrument. The AMS is to launch on space shuttle Endeavour in May.

Those expectations are not lost on the team putting the finishing touches on the AMS and packing it for launch.

"This kind of has grains of Hubble, looking at the universe in a different perspective," said Boeing's Bob Hart, the payload flow manager for the AMS. "The science, the exploration potential that will come out of this makes it very exciting to be a part of."

Professor Sam Ting, a Nobel Prize winner for his 1974 discovery of a heavy elemental particle, sees the AMS as a revolutionary observatory to measure invisible cosmic rays as they traverse the universe.

The AMS is a 2-ton ring of powerful magnets and ultrasensitive detectors built to track, but not capture, cosmic rays. The 15,251-pound instrument will be connected to the outside of the International Space Station, braced on the orbiting laboratory's right hand truss and tilted a bit so it will not interfere with any of the station's mechanisms and storage platforms. It will be operated remotely from Earth and should not require any attention from astronauts in orbit.
