Dark Mission

In a search for information about the optical design of Schmidt-
Cassegrain telescopes, I came across the site

http://www.nightskyobserver.com/

which has much useful information for amateur astronomers.

However, I saw they recommended a book on their site about NASA as
being good enough that it ought to be "required reading for all high
school honors students". I'm not sure why only students with good
grades should read a book about space - unless, in the U.S., this is
referring to high school students in an *academic* (i.e. college
entry) instead of vocational program.

But when I saw that Richard C. Hoagland was one of the authors, I had
to say.. uh, oh.

The book, "Dark Mission", according to its Amazon ad, exposes the
occult conspiracy controlling NASA!

Well, I *had* heard that one guy designing rocket engines was into
Crowley in his spare time (the book "Sex and Rockets" speaks of this
unusual personal story - it has nothing to do with the Hernandez
brothers), but weaving a claim that the upper management is into this
kind of stuff, and has turned NASA into a tool of their occult agenda
is - just a tad - far out, I think.
