− | ;Rum incident at Apollo 12 (again)
| |
− | I did some investigations on this:
| |
− | *Pete Conrad died in 1999 — no chance to ask him.
| |
− | *At [http://www.alanbean.com/] there was no way for a contact.
| |
− | *But at [http://www.dickgordon.com/] I found a contact email address. There was a nice and prompt reply to my question:
| |
− | Sorry to disappoint, but we have nothing to add re: Rum Incident. We are all just lost as to being able to explain it any further.
| |
− | Thank you for writing, we hope that you can find what you are looking for.
| |
− | We are also fans of Apollo xii ;o)
| |
− | Cheers!
| |
− | Thanks to Linda for this reply.

− | So, that harpoon on 1969/70 is still a mystery — even more because it returned back to Earth.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

− | Maybe the 1970 reference is to missile testing?:

− | I have tried to clear up the 'Rum on Apollo 12' explanation section, by explaining that there are various theories, but that no one theory has yet been proven. I included a reference to the discussion section, as thats where most of the ongoing finding/research/discussion has been recorded. The Harpoon Rum theory has been left because it seems that this theory has some historical precedence (Apollo 8 story), is fairly plausible, and is the type of information which Randall *may* be privy to. It also seems to have fairly widespread support amongst this community. --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 15:16, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

− | I just found [http://history.nasa.gov/FINAL%20Catalogue%20of%20Manmade%20Material%20on%20the%20Moon.pdf a catalogue of man made items on the moon]. Assembled by NASA, it lists everything they know about which has been left behind during lunar exploration. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to list anything which might answer the hapoon question, though that is to be expected as the harpoon is no longer in space for whatever reason. Interestingly, a javelin was left during the Apollo 14 mission. --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 15:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

− | Um, in the Rosetta Comic/Slideshow, there was a reference to Whaling and Harpoons in one of the frames, like in the title text.Shouldn't this be included?[[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.247|141.101.98.247]] 14:06, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
