Apollo

Apollo is the Greek god of the sun, light, poetry, art, music, medicine, healing and archery (important guy). He and his twin, Athena, were a product of Zeus’ inability to keep his wang to himself when he knocked up a deity named Leto, who is otherwise rather insignificant in Greek mythology.

Apollo is characterized as being the most beautiful of the gods, garnering much adoration from his many lovers -- both male and female alike (most of his male lovers died tragically), and bore a number of children. According to legends, Apollo is responsible for the existence of the cypress tree and flowers that turn to follow the sun. In a rage he seared white birds into crows (poor judgment on his part, but he made up for it by giving them the responsibility to announce death), and turned a jealous Zephyrus into the wind.

Apollo’s symbols are the lyre and the bow and arrow, and he considers several animals sacred, such as snakes, crows, wolves, dolphins and deer.
He wrangled a chthonic serpent when he was four days old. That's Apollo for you.

Apollogist

A person who uses any means to defend a controversial claim by the State, in particular one who brands any counter-claim a 'conspiracy', the most famous such debate being that the USA landed men on the Moon from 1969 to 1972 in the Apollo missions, hence the deliberate misspelling of the word 'apologist'. Apollogists are the modern day equivalent of the Religious apologetics, who sought to defend inconsistencies of fact and logic in their faith by excusing the author. Likewise, Apollogists attempt to defend inconsistencies in evidence distributed by the State through unsubstantiated claims, diversion, the abuse of natural effects, and the misuse of scientific principles. Unlike their Religious counterparts, Apollogists are inclined to belittle or berate the author of a counter-claim, accusing them of being mindless; having no education or no understanding of a scientific principle; wearing tin-foil hats; on medication; or more recently as being part of a social movement attempting to subvert the State.
As with the Apollo mission to the Moon, the proposed Orion mission to Mars faces an obstacle in passing through the Van Allen radiation belts, which are harmful to life. When interviewed, former NASA astronaut and Apollogist Don Pettit said, "I'd go to the Moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don't have that technology to do that anymore. We used to but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again."
