Heinlein name-drop. *shot*

[ItsOver]

I always slam a jello shot at "torsion field physics".

Ha!  Think of the potential.  19.5, accutron, The Facts!...  I'd be signing up for AA after a week of Hoagie.

That's part of the RCH drinking game.

[ONeill]

To provide some context to the "magicians" aspect: Jack Parsons (one of NASA's chief engineers of solid rocket propellant) was indeed deep into ritualistic occult magick. He subscribed to the "Thelemite" sect.

Ah, this makes the Aleister Crowley reference so obvious...

[Claudius]

His delay is not that long, at tops its 20 seconds. I mean come on he can't even turn off the ringer, you think his delay is that well established?

[ShayP]

The caller is full of shit.  I am never in a full state of awareness during sex.

Was working on drinking game earlier:  Drink when he brings up: Dolan dissing him, Roddenberry being his "good friend," science advisor to Cronkite, Judy Wood (double-shot since this is more rare), Cydonia (only warrants a sip of lite beer), when he quizzes the guest, phrases resembling "It's in the data!" or "Science is nothing if not prediction!"

I try not to be, it numbs the pain.

[Morgus]

Hoagland just mentioned the "Data's Head" artifact from Apollo 17!

[ShayP]

Truth.  And you can fight back the tears.  Pretend it's sweat, or whatever.

That's a recipe for lethal alcohol consumption.

[UnfamiliarWind]

LMFAO! I just did a legit spit take. I was sipping water when he said "C3PO's head" was on the moon or wherever.

The loud telethon phone ringing within the first 10 minutes requires a full shot of peppermint schnapps.

[astroguy]

Seriously, this man loves the sound of his own voice more than ... anything?

Add to that

Every time I read your posts, I read them as Mr. Rogers. It's really distracting

[ShayP]

The Russians got the swag....

[AppealPlay]

If someone is willing, please ask RCH where/she he thinks the whole space coverup was developed.

[Claudius]

No, he loves his half-baked theories more.

[malachi.martini]

I need to subscribe to OSOM don't I?

[Morgus]

Hoagland wants a NASA whistleblower to call in!

[UnfamiliarWind]

Lol, open call for any NASA whistleblowers. You can remain anonymous and need not provide any evidence. Love it.

[ItsOver]

Good 'ol RCH.  He didn't get sucked into Apollo 13 being a planned disaster to avoid a landing site.  Quick on his feet.

[norland2424]

damn i feel asleep, what have i missed?

[Dixon Bawls]

RCH's callers are the only ones who say " okay, I gotta go."

[Claudius]

Must get a voice changer and claim to be the grandson of a Nazi scientist who was behind the secret NASA program, my grandfather fled to Peru, and was a Dutch fascist.... I mean I could make this stuff up all night.

[astroguy]

How are you supposed to call anonymously from Skype?

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

HOLY SHIT!
