- Marlowe Cassetti – I was involved in the Gemini-1 mission UFO cover-up when I was with NASA in the mid 1960s. My interest now is in the introduction of critical thinking to the public. As an example, senior citizens are targeted by Scammers because seniors are considered an “easy mark” for fleecing. If the public was aware of critical thinking techniques they might avoid being victimized.
- Pete Vaziri - The Scientific Method - It's the methodology that matters most.
