DO THE APOLLO MISSIONS FOLLOW THE 19.5 AND 33.0 PATTERN?
Before doing an analysis on Apollo, I thought it wise to determine whether or not the program as a whole conforms to the “star ritual” theory. To analyze the data for the 82 launches, I (of course) had to lump Apollo in with all the rest. But how would Apollo perform all by itself? In order to connect it with the bigger pattern, I wanted to make sure first that it conformed to the “ritual star” pattern and was not behaving “randomly.” The total number of launches, counting unmanned missions now also, for Apollo was 16. (Author’s note: actually, there are a total of 18 launches, because AS-201 and AS-202, two unmanned Apollo test launches, were overlooked prior to publication of this paper. For an explanation in detail of how these two missing Apollo launches actually reinforce the conclusions reached in this paper when added to the 82 launches, see my addendum.) Using my tolerance set that generated 4,193 to 1 odds against random chance for the 82 NASA launches, I found a total of 11 o
