Charles Duke

But I found out that...

Apollo 16 astronaut Charles Duke landed on the moon.

Not the first time, not the first mission, but he landed on the moon and he left a family photo of him, his two sons and his wife on the moon.

And it's there to this day.

Yeah.

Anyways, that, that whole thing was a shit show, and Charlie Duke didn't convince me ... that we went to the moon at all.

You know, the guy was super sharp for being 90.

Me and him had, like, a 30-minute conversation.

He's kind of really hyperactive in his 90s now.

And this is Charlie Duke.

Charlie Duke.

Yeah.

And then I ended up butt dialing him after sort of nearly giving him a heart attack.

trying to like chase down celebrities and they just don't it seems to be a lot more red tape weirdly i mean we kind of like what had to work with isa quite a lot on like the wording and things like that because i mean especially with nasa because nasa's like the nhs in america it's state funded you know it's like you sort of have to kind of go through some hoops but in the end you know nasa actually reached out to us about this next issue so yeah You know, it's things like that.

It's like surprisingly easy to get the ball rolling.

With Charlie Duke, I just emailed him on his website.

It's called engineering and science.

Charlie Duke, Apollo 16, Capcom and Apollo 11, Moonwalker, Apollo 16 is on our board.

He's brilliant on this.

He just looked at the stuff where he goes, this is great.

Senior Pentagon officials have refused to investigate UAP data on the grounds that the phenomenon is demonic.

Astronaut Charlie Duke, the 10th man to walk on the moon, has publicly endorsed it.

So that's interesting, yeah.

And I don't want you to think about whether we went to the moon or not.

Narrowness and prejudice are insular.

Sir Charles Duke has recorded the history of greater Britain, but during the lifetime of this frontier boy he has seen with his own eyes the growth of greater America.

In the short span of a life still in its prime, he has seen the slow wagon train crawling over the weary miles of the wind-swept prairie harassed by Indians and other foes, and he has seen the long parallel iron rails push their way across the map of the continent until they span it from gulf to gulf and from ocean to ocean.

The prairie schooner and the pony express have in his time given way to the Pullman coach and the electric wire.

It coated the lenses of cameras and the reflective surfaces of scientific instruments.

On Apollo 16, astronaut Charlie Duke noted that dust had so thoroughly coated the rover's battery covers that the thermal management system was compromised, causing battery temperatures to rise above design limits during the final traverse.

The ALSEP scientific instrument packages left on the surface by multiple Apollo missions experienced progressive degradation from dust accumulation.

Thermal control surfaces lost their designed reflective properties as dust coatings altered their ability to absorb and emit radiation.

And we actually have a historical record of a non-vomit version of this exact blinding hazard from the Apollo 16 lunar mission.

Yes, the incident involving Charlie Duke.

To keep astronauts hydrated on the Moon, their suits had internal drink bags filled with citrus drinks like Tang.

During a moonwalk, Duke's drink bag ruptured.
