Methinks you will grow old awaiting for this admission.

Just as he will grow old waiting for praise for his dishonest literary vomitus.
Not reading it, what were his main points, or was it just a plethora of hoax beliefs?

Seems to be a recurring operative, Sibrel, Percy, Allen, and maybe the Blunder.

jockndoris' real name is Neil Burns.

This idiot wrote a book in which he claims, among other "dishonest literary vomitus" that the ghost of Neil Armstrong spoke to him, and that he played golf with both Armstrong and Buzz Alrin at a Naval Golf Course in Hawaii on July 20, 1969, the same day that the two astronauts were walking in the moon.

Nuff said!!
If you're not a scientist but you think you've destroyed the foundation of a vast scientific edifice with 10 minutes of Googling, you might want to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

Burns claimed to have a physics degree, but got a number of things wrong, the worst being his claim that the Earth and the Moon would have the same orbital velocity.  I don't remember exactly what figure he gave, but it was way too high for orbiting the Earth's moon and too low for any Earth orbit used by a manned spacecraft.

He also claimed to be writing programs in the 1960s using Quick Basic which didn't exist until the 1980s.

Don't read it; it's garbage.

Yes I looked at the review and thought that  might have been your assessment.

Here is the proof we have all been waiting 43 years for that Apollo 16 most definitely landed a rocket on the moon in 1972.
Does that mean you repudiate the contents of your 'books'?

I once went on a tour of an historic home, and the tour guide made what I consider the perfect statement with regard to a relatively stupid question she was asked by a rather credulous visitor.

We were in the bedroom that had been used by the children. The guide explained that of the nine children to whom the mother had given birth, only three of them had survived to adulthood. All six of those children had died in that very bedroom, all before the age of six. At which point, the woman breathlessly asked the tour guide, "Is this house haunted?"

To which the tour guide responded, deadpan, "Madam, I am a professional historian. I exercise my profession in the documentable world. I have been a guide here for 16 years, and I have never seen a single ghost on a sheet of paper in all that time."

It was all I could do not to applaud.

The tour guide and I had a nice discussion afterwards, where I confessed to being a professor of history. She told me that when she started the job, she had every intention of going on for her PhD eventually, but that she'd come to enjoy the interactions with visitors who had no clue what historical documentation was... 
You don't "believe" that the lunar landings happened. You either understand the science or you don't.

If the lessons of history teach us any one thing, it is that no one learns the lessons that history teaches...

Then Neil Burns' book would probably make you vomit.

Most of the hoax nuts and other idiots do that anyway.

Judging from the Amazon review, I wouldn't want it.
