BASES On The MOON - Former NASA Employee reveals the MOON BASE Mysteries (Interview by Jeff Rense Radio) 'Ralph Kennedy Johnston (now using the forename Ken) is a retired aerospace worker, ex-US Marine cadet and so-called "NASA Whistleblower." His principal claim to fame within the NASA-hating community is that he refused to follow orders and destroy a nearly-complete collection of 10"x8" glossy photoprints from the Apollo program. In early 1995, Johnston attended a lecture in Seattle by the pseudoscientist Richard Hoagland. After the lecture, he introduced himself and asked if Hoagland would be interested in his Apollo photograph collection, which he described as "unique." Indeed Hoagland was, and they went through the collection together the next day. Hoagland later wrote (of himself, in the third person): "That the extremely limited number of high-quality, first or second generation copies of the unique photographic record of Man's first voyages to the Moon could be so blithely ... destroyed ... infuriated him almost beyond words ... Hoagland finally had his "smoking gun." — Hoagland 2007, p.218 Johnston is a popular interviewee on television shows that denigrate NASA. During these appearances, and in radio interviews, he has made several allegations about deceptive practices within the NASA photographic division. He has maintained that he personally witnessed technicians painting out stars on the camera negatives of Apollo images.[13] He likes to tell the story of how, at the request of Dr Thornton PageWikipedia's W.svg, he showed 16mm film shot by the crew of Apollo 14 as they overflew Tsiolkovsky, a very large and intriguing crater on the back side of the Moon. He says flashing lights were clearly visible in the crater, but the following day when he ran the film again the lights were gone. There is a problem with that story. Tsiolkovsky is at latitude 20.4 °S, but the inclination of the orbit of Apollo 14 was 14°, so it could not have overflown Tsiolkovsky. The 16mm film from Apollo 14[14] does not show any such scene, and it is plain from Apollo 14's photographic index map that Tsiolkovsky was never a photographic target. Nevertheless, Johnston's collaborator Bret C. Sheppard wrote and self-published a book reiterating the claim in detail. Sheppard is unfamiliar with the terminology and practices of spaceflight, and made several errors in his text.' rationalwiki Full Audio Copyright: Rense Radio (©2016 Jeff Rense) Credits, Full Copyright : http://www.renseradio.com/ Pictures Credit: NASA/JPL https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/ http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ken_Johnston
