I like that word ALOFT, as in miles above Earth's sea level...
Appropriate language, seeing that the Moon--much less Mars--
is FAR beyond the reach of manned spacecraft, to wit:
ALTITUDE COMPARISON CHART
SHUTTLE VS. MOON & MANMADE SATELLITES
(not to scale)
x------Moon's mean geocentric distance ~239,000 miles---x
| |

~ ~214,000 MILES ~
~ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ ~

x------Geostationary orbit ~22,300 miles altitude-------x

x------Mid-altitude orbit ~12,500 miles altitude--------x

x------Low-altitude orbit below ~1200 miles altitude----x
x------JPL/NASA Space Shuttle orbit ~300 miles altitude-x
x------Intl. Space Station orbit ~220 miles altitude |
x------Earth's sea level -0- miles altitude-------------x
To give you an idea of the scale involved, if each hard line
break in the chart below equals roughly 10,000 miles, to wit:
x------Moon's mean geocentric distance ~239,000 miles---x
| 230,000 |
| 220,000 |
| 210,000 |
| 200,000 |
| 190,000 |
| 180,000 |
| 170,000 |
| 160,000 |
| 150,000 |
| 140,000 |
| 130,000 |
| 120,000 |
| 110,000 |

x------Geostationary orbit ~22,300 miles altitude-------x
x------Mid-altitude orbit ~12,500 miles altitude--------x
x------Low-altitude orbit below ~1200 miles altitude----x
Then the low-earth shuttle orbit would fit somewhere between
the center and baseline of the bottom 'x'--hardly visible at
all at this scale. And yet, that is the highest altitude any
manned flight has ever successfully sustained for any length
of time. But the "men to the moon" fairytale devotees don't
want to face up to these and other glaring facts in evidence:

-meaningless drivel snipped
So on top of your other insane ramblings, you are a moon hoax nutbar as
well, why am I not surprised.

Ever notice how the films of the Saturn V moon launches only show one
side? That's because the other says, "Estes." And, if you peel back
the foil covering the one outside the KSC, it's made of chocolate!
