TmcMistress i assume you are a Yanker?
Because the whole world and his dog knows 100% that nobody has ever gone to the moon.
Please try and debunk Bart Sibrel's video above. _________________

I'm assuming you've actually got polls and stats to back up that "whole world and his dog" claim...
And yes, I am a "yank". What that has to do with anything, outside of a deep, unending shame of my own country, I'm not sure. _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people?

Oh dear gods, is that A Funny Thing Happened...? lol! Nice try, put something up that actually has some credibility. It was already debunked by Lunar Legacy, and what I've posted in this thread. _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people?

Hey i like Americans, but you do realise that you live in a brainwashed society. For you the moon landings were a symbol of national pride and getting one over on the Ruskies.
But the reality is nobody walked on the moon, drove a car around, stayed for 3 days and came back.
It is all a load of old cobblers.
Do you know that the moon is at times over 200 centigrade and at other times minus 200 centigrade?
Do you honestly believe a human can survive in those extremes and also withstand the direct solar radiation and cosmic radiation?
Please look at the lander, it is made of aluminium foil. Look at their suits if it is true that the suits are ok why dont they use the same suits to go into 3 Mile Island or even polar expeditions or cross sahara walks?
You cannot deny all the photos and video footage is faked. Whether you believe they went to the moon or not you must agree the pictures are made on earth. Look at the footprints for example, zero gravity, no moisture means no footprints.
How does a lander land with no stablisers and no blast crater? _________________

The vast majority of the planet's population is brainwashed, I wouldn't say we've got an exclusive lock on it. Although I would say that the US population is, by and large, a good deal more ignorant of anything outside the borders of the US than most.

I could care less, outside of it being cool science. But, in a fashion similar to NPT, stupid nonsense like "the moon landings were a hoax" discredit genuine conspiracy research by association.
| Quote: | | But the reality is nobody walked on the moon, drove a car around, stayed for 3 days and came back. |
Actually... they did.
| Quote: | | Do you know that the moon is at times over 200 centigrade and at other times minus 200 centigrade? |
It's closer to about 100 degrees centigrade (214 F) in the sun, and about -185 centigrade (-300 F) when not.
| Quote: | | Do you honestly believe a human can survive in those extremes and also withstand the direct solar radiation and cosmic radiation? |
Yes, I do. Cooler temperatures were not a problem, as ALL the apollo missions landed shortly after lunar sunrise so as to take advantage of more easily manageable temperatures. The astronauts' spacesuits were lined with an extremely hardcore cooling system, which they described as having to 'work harder' on the longer visits, but temperatures never shot above anything the suits couldn't handle.
Another thing to keep in mind is that, due to the near-complete lack of an atmosphere, heat was not transferred with any great degree of efficiency from the moon's surface to anything that wasn't directly touching it.
As for the radiation, this was the reason for the short duration of the trips. Besides which, no one is arguing that the astronauts were not exposed to radiation. NASA scientists were well aware of it. But you and other moon hoax proponents seem to be stuck on this notion that being on the surface of the moon is equivalent to that scene from Gremlins where the one gremlin got shoved into the microwave, and that's just patently FALSE. You can't make the shit claim that "there's too much radiation on the moon for the astronauts to survive any exposure AT ALL", then use that to 'disprove' the entire affair. There is a vast, vast, VAST difference between something the scientists were concerned about, and an insurmountable obstacle.
I suggest looking here, though I suspect you'll just dismiss it as NASA / Zionist propaganda or whatever.

| Quote: | | Please look at the lander, it is made of aluminium foil. |
No no no NO NO. Please do not look at a picture of the one section of the lander, express the obvious belief that it kinda looks like the same stuff you've got sitting in a kitchen drawer, and then conclude from that the mission was faked.
| Quote: | | Look at their suits if it is true that the suits are ok why dont they use the same suits to go into 3 Mile Island or even polar expeditions or cross sahara walks? |
Erm... I'm going to guess that it's because each suit was custom-made for each of those astronauts, and cost in the neighborhood of $2 million dollars each. They probably weren't really keen on using them for other than what they were intended for.
| Quote: | | You cannot deny all the photos and video footage is faked. |
Yes, I can, actually. I deny that all the photos and video footage were faked. There, see? I just did it.
| Quote: | | Whether you believe they went to the moon or not you must agree the pictures are made on earth. |
No, I must not. Do you have any proof for this? I'll be glad to disprove it as well if you'd like to forward some.
| Quote: | | Look at the footprints for example, zero gravity, no moisture means no footprints. |
Bull. The surface of the moon is essentially a silicate. That's how it would be expected to behave in a vacuum.
| Quote: | | How does a lander land with no stablisers and no blast crater? |
Why would there have been a blast crater? The exhaust was spread out due to being operated in a vacuum, it wasn't operating at remotely close to full throttle when the lander was that close to the surface, and the lunar soil is pretty thickly compacted underneath that lair of dust that *gasp* WAS kicked up. There was no scientific or logical reason to expect a crater. _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people?

Well, I had no idea this thread was still active. I hadn't checked it after my last post some time ago.
I particularly like TmcMistress' reference to 'common sense' as a source of reference to space travel. The concept that human beings universally share some form of sagacity that allows them to 'know' the impact of moving between planets and their natural satellites is quite astonishing.
Also liked the earthly comparisons used to make points about 'proof' and space travel. |

telecast, are you actually going to contribute anything, or what? This lack of anything from you but not-so-finely-honed rhetoric is getting tiresome.
You know, I'm right there with there being movement 'behind the scenes', so to speak. I do think that there was a larger conspiracy on 9/11 and 7/7. But...
For fuck's sake, I can see why critics get annoyed as hell with some of you people. You either keep saying the same nonsense over and over, or you disappear from the conversation.
So I will ask, one more time. Do you have ANY verifiable proof that the moon landings were faked? Will you stay in the conversation when I post something to show you that maybe, just maybe, are wrong?
You are no less sheep for believing every conspiracy theory than toeing the official line every time. _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people? It would really only need flashing lights, so they'd save a lot of money on music." - Dresden Codak |

It is physically impossible for that saturn 5 rocket to have gone to the moon without enough fuel, without enough shielding and without computer aided guidence.
It circled the moon landed the lander whilst the orbiter kept orbiting.
Then the lander took off and redocked with the orbiter and together thrusted back to earth.
now think about it, EVEN if there was enough fuel to make it too the moon, which there wasnt, how on earth did the orbiter make it back.
when asked the astrozeros said the orbiter had HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS which powered it's return.
So how much do you think they weighed, how come they are not in use today to powere todays aircraft or motor cars? and why is this technology still not even accepted by mainstream scientists?
250,000 miles there and another 250,000 back and also thrusters and correction rockets.
The payload of the lunar rover.
Oxygen tanks for the whole trip for 3 people.
How come we didnt carry on making the trip for the last 35 years if it was so easy in 1969?
WAKE Up TMC Mistress, i did and others have, you know it makes sense.
You woke up to 911 and 7/7.
But there are many lies still hidden to you like the moon landings. _________________

Stelios, whilst I am with you in the basic concept about fuel and oxygen - no-one has claimed a Saturn V rocket went to the moon - it fell away in stages as it reached orbit. Only the payload was supposed to have made the journey there and half of it coming back.
TmcMistress, as for verification that we didn't go, this is an internet forum where 'proof' is elusive.
I pointed out earlier that your 'proof' is based upon what you have read - you believe it, which is cool. However, can you say with any certainty that any of it is accurate? Just because it appears in print, this does not make it gospel. You used all kinds of earth based analogies in an attempt to counter my point about information being questionable - however, whilst you can get on a plane and go there, you cannot do this with space - so your points are worthless.
As for disappearing from the conversation, I had no reason to actively follow a debate that has been beaten to death by both sides. No-one can supply any 'proof' either way that we went to the moon or didn't. Your books and figures mean nothing whatsoever because none of it can be corroborated.
If you had been here any length of time you would know that I openly admit I don't know if we went to the moon or not - I am not saying we didn't, I am saying I have no clue if we did because I cannot confirm or deny any of the supplied information. You label people sheep for simply believing what they are told, yet that is EXACTLY what you are doing.
So no, there is no verifiable evidence that we didn't go to the moon . Perhaps if you supplied a list of acceptable 'proof', I could go some way to furnishing it? What exactly would be acceptable as proof? Your 'proof' consists of quoted figures and links which mean nothing because it is not verifiable.
I also note to that you play the foul language card when compromised. |

I've answered the shielding question numerous times already, I shant answer it again. Go back and read it, I'll wait. As for the 'fuel' question, I'm going to assume that you have at least a rudimentary sense of physics. And, as such, it should come as little shock when I point out that, once you're in space, remarkably little fuel is required to move about. The very vast majority of fuel is used up on takeoff and getting out of Earth's gravity.
without computer aided guidance?

| Quote: | It circled the moon landed the lander whilst the orbiter kept orbiting.

ONCE AGAIN. Do you have ANY proof of this? Anything? At all? Timelines? Mission statements? Video? Verifiable scientific data? Or are you, as I suspect, just parroting some nifty online video you found?
| Quote: | now think about it, EVEN if there was enough fuel to make it too the moon, which there wasnt, how on earth did the orbiter make it back.

First, do you have a quote? Second, let's not be deceptive and just say HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS like we're talking about the still nascent technology of today, ok? These were hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. This is old tech. If they actually just said 'hydrogen fuel cells', I'm pretty sure they were short-handing.
This was the 'fuel cell' they were talking about.

| Quote: | | So how much do you think they weighed, how come they are not in use today to powere todays aircraft or motor cars? |
They're not in use today because they're pretty large and unwieldy. That's why they're working on a smaller and more efficient hydrogen fuel cell.
| Quote: | | and why is this technology still not even accepted by mainstream scientists? |
Er... since when?
| Quote: | 250,000 miles there and another 250,000 back and also thrusters and correction rockets.

See short physics lesson above.
| Quote: | | How come we didnt carry on making the trip for the last 35 years if it was so easy in 1969? |
Because it is a very expensive and largely pointless venture at this point. NASA continues to work under a reduced budget, and the public support and interest for another moon mission just ain't there.
| Quote: | | But there are many lies still hidden to you like the moon landings. |
It's this kind of arrogance that drives me absolutely bonkers. Because I don't agree with you, there are still 'many lies hidden to' me? I still need to 'wake up'? Please, for the love of all things holy, get over yourself. _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people?

This is a flimsy excuse. Some information can't be trusted, so none of it can be? I have used actual scientific data, and pointed you towards more than just "books". You're going to have to do a LOT better than this old chestnut.

Ok, let me try this, then. I have never, ever, ever actually SEEN Venus. Haven't seen it, haven't been there, haven't touched it. Should I then doubt it's existence just because of that? How about the Milky Way Galaxy as a whole? Should I trust that we actually live in the obscure arm of a spiral galaxy, or do we really live in a giant marble like in Men In Black? Maybe, I couldn't know because I've never actually seen it...

Once again, this is absolutely ridiculous reasoning. It calls into question nearly every bit of existence. Stop it. Also, as I said before, you are doing remarkably little to accurately cast yourself as any sort of devil's advocate and are doing quite a bit to throw in your lot with the moon hoaxers.
| Quote: | | You label people sheep for simply believing what they are told, yet that is EXACTLY what you are doing. |
Silly me, believing science and such and not disgruntled ex-NASA employees or conspiracy shills.
| Quote: | | So no, there is no verifiable evidence that we didn't go to the moon . Perhaps if you supplied a list of acceptable 'proof', I could go some way to furnishing it? |
I have been. Your apparent unwillingness to violate your 'there is no cardinal proof of anything' rule renders anything I would apparently say pointless. Once again, I will say this, however; I have provided plenty of proof throughout the course of this thread as to the viability of a trip to the moon. This was unnecessary on my part, as you and stelios are the ones making the claim that the trip was a hoax, and as such, the onus is on you to provide proof. You have not done that to any degree whatsoever.
I see little possibility of ever getting anywhere with you, as apparently while you moon hoaxers can forward any claim and have it be considered possible just because you SAID IT, rather than it being logical or provable, I apparently cannot put forward actual statistics and figures and data without being told I'm full of it or asleep.
I believe I have provided sufficient rationalization as to why the Apollo missions were fully possible given the technology at the time. What I've gotten in return from the both of you essentially amount's to a bunch of "nuh-uh's" and some Zen-wannabe 'nothing is real' reasoning.
| Quote: | | I also note to that you play the foul language card when compromised. |
A, I've yet to be 'compromised', though I'm sure you'll see it differently, and B, I use foul language because I like to, and because they're just words. That's all they are, just words, nothing more, nothing less. Free your mind from the control, man! Don't you see they're just brainwashing you into believing that foul language is really foul??  _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people?

Can you elaborate a little? I have been perfectly clear with my stance, I don't know if we went to the moon. If someone posts inaccurately, then there is nothing inappropriate about a correction. Do you mean my correcting Stelios about the Saturn V going to the moon? He also says;
| Quote: | | Then the lander took off and redocked with the orbiter and together thrusted back to earth. |
So despite if we went or not, this completely contradicts the official line as the LM was supposedly jettisoned in lunar orbit after transfer of the lunar excursionists. Correcting him about the official line does not make me an anti-hoaxer.
You however are prone to embark on a journey of semantic chicanery, combined with near philippic responses which indicate your internal state;

Scientifically verified data. Video / audio confessions of the astronauts. A paper trail indicating the fakery. etc. etc. etc. Basically, anything that isn't easily countered by common sense or actual facts. Sites and people that haven't already been debunked a dozen times over would also work.
| Quote: | | Tell me how you personally validate the data you quote? |
Watching the video of the event. Looking at the historical record. Knowing that at the time, had this been faked, it would have looked like an Ed Wood flick and not as it does. No actual physical evidence denying their ability to get to the moon and land at that time.

Questioning the nature of reality is all well and good, but in the end, an apple is still an apple, my electric bill still needs paying, and rocket science is still rocket science.
| Quote: |

if a privately financed probe/whatever landed on the moon at exactly the location of an Apollo landing site and found the cupboard to be bare - how do we anticipate that this would be explained away?
The fact that NASA doesn't seem to have had a hand in this might mean that either another country will identify the impossibility of manned space travel given our current state of technology
What has changed since the first Apollo mission to allow such events, or put another way, is a trip to Mars simply impossible and is another huge con going to be enacted?
(Certainly, even if you won't cop to any of the rest, you have to admit that this indicates a bias towards moon hoaxery.)
I however, personally dispute the premise it is 'as' impossible now
(Indicates that you believe it was impossible then)
Well, it can hardly be claimed they spent lengthy periods of time in levels of lethal radiation for the obvious reasons - it is the ONLY claim that can officially be made. To cite this is a major misnomer as there cannot be any other claim is incongruous, there can be no other official line.
(This still makes little sense.)
They cannot even suggest Van Allen radiation is remotely dangerous, it would * their balloon.
(This statement has so many problems I don't know where to begin. But at the least, it indicates a more-than-healthy amount of skepticism for the official line.)
| Quote: | | So despite if we went or not, this completely contradicts the official line as the LM was supposedly jettisoned in lunar orbit after transfer of the lunar excursionists. Correcting him about the official line does not make me an anti-hoaxer. |
I'm not saying you're an anti-hoaxer. I'm saying you are a hoaxer. You believe that the moon landing was a hoax, and you claim independence on the issue in an attempt to establish some sense of credibility without actually making anything resembling a stab at said independence.
| Quote: | | You however are prone to embark on a journey of semantic chicanery, combined with near philippic responses which indicate your internal state; |
Now now, you don't see me accusing you of being some sort of psuedo-Don Quixote, tilting at established fact only because to stop would bring about the crashing realization that... well, you've got nothin'?
I appreciate this, though; all these years, I've been wondering about who I really am on the inside, and now I know. And all it took was the analysis of a random person on a 9/11 forum who apparently has access to a thesaurus, but no actual arguments, to make me see the light.

If there is such a rule, then I'll quit using such language (while making a small protest about the inherent contradiction of such a rule on a site like this). However, it doesn't seem to be listed under any of the forum guidelines.
You have to love the irony of a forum dedicated to "9/11 Truth" deciding what is and is not 'appropriate language'... _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people? It would really only need flashing lights, so they'd save a lot of money on music." - Dresden Codak |

Yes you are correct, the boosters would have been ejected and only the orbiter would have carried on it's journey. but the problem with this is without thrust and only using inertia how long would it have taken to float to the moon?
The Earth has a much stronger gravity field than the moon so the rockets would have to have built up enough inertia not just to break free from the earth atmosphere but also the outermost gravity field.
Think about other examples, how long did it take for the UNMANED Russian lunar missions?
How long does it take to get a probe to the moon?
Then add in all the extra wieght of the Lunar Lander, the oxygen tanks, the Hydrogen Fueld cells, the Lunar Rover, Food, Excrement, etc _________________

Nope, not me, I quoted a source - you know the kind of the stuff you rely on, books, websites, people who claim to have information we can't access ourselves. They defined the definition of the expression you used. I just copied and pasted it - if you didn't really sigh, then probably best to attempt to reduce the expletives you don’t really mean. Just a suggestion though.
I have never personally used emoticons, bit childish using pictures. I've never used LOL either as I consider it means 'lack of language' as someone can't think what to write.
I also believe I have been most clear thus far - I don't know if we have been to the moon or not, I have not seen any evidence either way, hence I cannot supply any either way, just like yourself.
I asked you how you verify data and you said;
| Quote: | | Watching the video of the event. Looking at the historical record. Knowing that at the time, had this been faked, it would have looked like an Ed Wood flick and not as it does. No actual physical evidence denying their ability to get to the moon and land at that time. |
This avoids the question totally. If you prefer direct questions - try this one;
My youngest daughter is nine years old. She knows nothing of the Van Allen Radiation Belts - how would you PROVE to her the level of radiation the astronauts of Apollo 11 were exposed to in the VARB on the outward journey? Note the word 'prove' - simply quoting books or sites does not constitute proof - in other words, information supplied by a third party will not cut it.
| Quote: | | if a privately financed probe/whatever landed on the moon at exactly the location of an Apollo ………llen radiation is remotely dangerous, it would * their balloon. |
All the above are questions which either pose thought based upon what someone has typed previously or something I have read, for example sending gerbils into space for twelve days. They do not indicate my view/s, merely pose questions - you obviously misunderstand. People view this with blinkers on in a black and white way, they simply never give it any thought just 'have a belief' and that's it. I prefer to make decisions based upon incontrovertible evidence, you think it exists, I do not.
| Quote: | | I'm not saying you're an anti-hoaxer. I'm saying you are a hoaxer. You believe that the moon landing was a hoax, |
I am not a hoaxer, I don not believe the moon landing was a hoax- I have been clear on this. Possibly the linguistic differences of you being American stop you grasping this;
Look - I am not a hoaxer - I don't know if we went to the moon or not. I have typed the same thing in other parts of this thread.
You can say what you like, believe what you like - but I am not a hoaxer. Perhaps if you asked a friend to explain who has been to the UK?
| Quote: | | Now now, you don't see me accusing you of being some sort of psuedo-Don Quixote, tilting at established fact only because to stop would bring about the crashing realization that... well, you've got nothin'? |
Got nothin'? I'll have you know I have a considerable guitar collection!
| Quote: | | I appreciate this, though; all these years, I've been wondering about who I really am on the inside, and now I know. And all it took was the analysis of a random person on a 9/11 forum who apparently has access to a thesaurus, but no actual arguments, to make me see the light. |
I do not argue - this is a debating forum, I fully understand where you are coming from now. Glad I could straighten you out personally somewhat. If you'd like to ask me for any more guidance about intimate problems, you could always send me a PM.
| Quote: | | Your mother was wrong. Sorry. |
Don't forget the perspective aspect here. She cannot be deemed to be wrong for from my perspective she was 100% correct and as I can only see things through my eyes, then it ends there - I see you as floundering when the swear word card was played. Perhaps you could supply a link that proves otherwise?
| Quote: | | If there is such a rule, then I'll quit using such language (while making a small protest about the inherent contradiction of such a rule on a site like this). However, it doesn't seem to be listed under any of the forum guidelines. |
You claim to believe what you read as being the truth. All you have to do is check the forum rules and then look up what constitutes swearing or vulgarity. This isn't a forum based view, but pretty much the general view of our civilised society. I do however acknowledge that living in the colonies can be rather awful and all those street gangs wear funny vests and hairnets and call each other 'homie', so I’ll just accept you don’t know any better.

Newsnight just ran a story on the moon landings.
They admitted it was all to do with national pride for the Yanks and also admitted that these landing allegedly happened between 1969 and 1972.
During the Vietnam war. They then showed clippings of Bush in 2004 after having showed Kennedy in the 1960's prattling on about going into space.
They then related everything to a GPS in your car. They did admit the Russians never made it there...
I did like the video clips they showed. The US flag was waving about on the moon from the non-existent air.
They drove a moon buggy at speed which didn't take off presumably because of the non-existent gravity.
Got to give it to the Yanks though. They excel in marketing gimmicks. |

Telecasteration, there's nothing even there for me to answer. I give up, unless you can provide anything of any substance. Nice try on making a crack about me being from the US though. Completely pointless, but I've come to expect that. I point out several different quotes from you during the course of this thread that show a decided slant to your opinion vis a vis moon hoaxery, and the best you can do is "they don't express my views, merely pose questions"?? Please. Try that with someone considerably more gullible. The best you seem to have is dancing about the semantics of 'arguing' vs 'debating'.
CA - The flag was moving because the astronauts were moving it into position. No air = no friction. However, if you actually watch the video of the moon landing, you'll see that the flag maintains its position after they stop messing with it.
And anyway, besides all that... the idea that the flag moving proves they filmed it on an indoor set is about the most ridiculous thing I've heard in quite some time. I somehow doubt these guys went to the trouble of setting the whole thing up and then thought "Hey, let's set this great big fan off to the side! No, no, don't turn it on! .... Damn, do we film the whole thing over again?"
I'm done with this topic. I feel like I've been banging my head against a metaphorical wall so often in this that I'm about to start banging it against a literal one. _________________ "What about a dance club that only let in deaf people?

Can you say why it would have taken off? The gravity is supposedly one sixth of that of the earth, so it wouldn't have been weightless. Throw a feather into the air here on earth and it would only take off if there was a breeze - so the buggy + astronauts would weigh considerably more than a feather even on the moon (assuming they actually went). |

The footage of the flag fluttering in the breeze is interesting. Firstly, how do you make something stand up in low gravity dust with no moisture to bind in together. Make a hole int moonrock? What if they pricked their spacesuit? Today planting a flag would be deemed hazardous. Why would the flag appear visible when the sun is not facing it. How would the flag survive the 200 centigrade temperature what was it made of? And why would they carry such an obviously useless item 250,000 miles? do you realsie how much EXTRA fuel it would take to carry that flag, pole, and mallet to the moon?
They were on the moon for 3 days, why do we only have a few minutes of footage in total?
Where is the footage from the orbiter which must have been mapping the surface and the dark side of the moon while the two were joyriding on the surface.
The footage was shot in a studio with aircon and that is what caused the flutter. alot of mistakes were made which would not happen today. We have much better CGI and blue screens and if a moon landing were undertaken today the footage would certainly be more convincing.
But the reason they dont do it is they would need to jam all the chinese and russian radars and somehow other countries too. They cant do it thats why we didnt go back.
A guy once made a very good comment.
Do you honestly believe we actually spent 20 million on a toilet and 100 million on a car?
Do you know how much a battery operated car would have weighed back in 1969? Today it still weighs a great deal look at a toyota prius so in 1969?
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
$130 billion spent - what experiments did they perform?
or were they just tourists _________________

The buggy looks like it is moving fast on the surface. If there is less gravity one would assume the speed would ensure it took off the survace. If the buggy weighed a ton then how did it land on the surface and how did it take off. Either which way we are in a contradiction. Either the batteries of the buggy in 1969 were something like the engines of the planes which crashed into the Twin Towers and dissapeared behind concrete walls and steel girders, ie made of paper, or they were such advanced technology which the americans have kept secret for so long in order to sell us nonsense today when they could make everything much lighter.
If gravity was only 20% of the earths gravity then logically the moon buggy should have been 80% heavier and also have electric batteries... |

There was a joke once circulated.
They asked a Russian why NASA was better and the evidence was that the Americans had designed a pen which worked in weightlessness and it cost around $1m to design or was it $10m.
The Russian said we haven't got that technology as yet. We just use pencils.
NO wonder the Yanks cant even produce rockets for space anymore and t | Quote: | hey have to ask the Russians to do it for them.

Russia to deliver engines for U.S. Atlas rockets
Russia is due to deliver two RD-180 rocket engines to the U.S. They were designed specially for American Atlas carrier rockets.
The engine, created by the Russian scientific production company Energomash, is unique. It's an environmentally friendly design and makes for easier control over a carrier rocket's trajectory.
In 1997, the U.S. Lockheed Martin company signed a ten-year contract with Energomash worth more than $US 1 BLN.
Anatoly Frolov from the Foreign Economic Activity Department says the buyers are satisfied with the quality of the product.
“It is made for medium and heavy-weight rockets like Atlas V. It meets all the requirements of the American side. What is crucial is that Americans still buy it. We have a contract for 101 such engines,” he informed.

Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:33 am Post subject: The $1million Space Pen Myth |
|
|
The Million Dollar Space Pen
Status: Urban Legend
Dwayne Day has an interesting article in Space Review about the urban legend of the Million Dollar Space Pen. I'm sure you've heard the legend before. It's the one in which NASA pays a million dollars to develop a pen that will write in space. The Russians, meanwhile, being a bit more practical and budget-conscious, just use a pencil for their space missions.
The truth is that the space pen was independently developed in the mid-1960s by Paul Fisher of the Fisher Pen Company. He did it completely on his own, without prompting by NASA and without NASA money. It turned out to be a good pen, and NASA later started to use it. But they paid around $2 a piece for them. Not $1 million. Day notes that:
"The Million Dollar Space Pen Myth is just that, a myth. The pens never cost a lot of money and were not developed by wasteful bureaucrats or overactive NASA engineers. The real story of the Space Pen is less interesting than the myth, but in many ways more inspiring. It is not a story of NASA bureaucrats versus simplistic Russians, but a story of a clever capitalist who built a superior product and conducted some innovative marketing. That story, however, is a little harder to sell to a public that believes what it wants to believe."
I know that you can still buy space pens. I saw them for sale a few months ago at Restoration Hardware.

First off, I am not saying we went to the moon.
Taking your last point first about 'logically the moon buggy should have been 80% heavier and also have electric batteries'. Yes, it supposedly had two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide non-rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 121 A·h. These were used to power the drive and steering motors. However it would have weighed only one sixth if its original earthly weight. As the gravity is much less, there is less 'pull' exerted by gravity, so if you put it on scales, there is not the same downward exertion. It would not weigh 80% heavier, but 5/6ths less. Its earth weight was 463 lbs (210kg).
To put this into context, add an astronaut's spacesuit (107lbs'ish) + 150lbs occupant, making @ 720lbs in total. Divide by 6 = 120lbs. This wouldn't simply 'launch' itself - try getting a loaded barbell to stay 'up' in your back garden.
Your other point;
| Quote: | | If the buggy weighed a ton then how did it land on the surface and how did it take off. |
It didn't weight a ton and it didn't take off. By 'take off', I assume you meant whilst driving as they supposedly left it there.
To reiterate, I am not saying we went to the moon - merely we are debating what 'facts' we have access to, I am unable to state with any certainty how accurate they are. |

Actually once we have got to the moon the weight becomes less important. Getting there.
you know that carrying a pound of ballast into space costs millions. So every extra pound carried means more fuel required and more expense. A couple of batteries like that in 1969 would have weighed alot. More than a man can carry. So it would have needed many tonnes of fuel EXTRA to get the batteries to the moon. Dont forget all this payload took off from earth surface.
Now just compare payloads. Today the shuttle carries a smaller payload into earth orbit than than the lunar mission?
Please check this for me.
But i would have said that in 1969 carrying a car, batteries, fuel cells, a flag and pole, cameras, suits, food, oxygen, 3 people and plenty of old fashioned 1969 equipment which was heavy bulky and unreliable.
So i maintain, there was not even a fraction of the fuel required.
None of the astrozeros describe toilet or sleeping arangements or even eating. On the moons surface did they walk out of an airlock and then the module had to repressurise?
Because there appears to have been no description of airlocks, feeding, *, pissing, while on the moons surface.
I guess they put a cork in it?
I know today it gets recycled and they drink the water over and over again but that was not the case in 1969. _________________

I think you're getting a bit confused here;
The Saturn V had a payload capacity of 260,000 pounds (118,000 kg), however, the space shuttle can only carry 29,484 kilograms of weight into space.
The point you overlook is that the Space Shuttle IS the payload as it has a Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) that provides 83% of liftoff thrust which gets it most of the way into orbit. Hence the payload inside the shuttle is proportionally smaller as the attached rocket has to get the shuttle and its payload aloft.
You are comparing two radically different ideologies. |

Stelios, you really are, for all the world, giving the impression that you're just typing this up as it pops into your uninformed head without a second thought, let alone doing some research into what the hell you are talking about.
Please stop it - it's embarrassing to anyone reading it and unbecoming of any 911 truther allegedly investigating hidden events, when you can't be bothered to even check publicly available data that might actually inform you.
But of course, you don't need to as it was all a 'hoax'.

What you are saying is you want me to use NASA's propaganda in order to prove my point?
There is no independant sources because we never went to the moon. But ok, 118,000kg into low earth orbit approx 150 miles up or 47,000kg to the moon 250,000 miles away. Us what NASA are saying. Like a car with 5 passengers can drive 40 miles on gallon yet a car with only 2 passengers can drive 100,000 miles on the same gallon.
Well you asked me to quote official stats.
PS: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Battery power on the way back.
Yet 38 years later Hydrogen Fuel Cell cannot even drive cars let alone fly from the moon.

NASA clearly state that the Saturn V can carry 118,000 kg to low earth orbit which is 150 miles away or 47,000 kg towards the moon which is 250,000 away.
Surely this defies the laws of physics?
I am happy to debunk all NASA evidence/propaganda
Next question is apart from the moon shots no spacecraft has ever been designed to return home. How EXACTLY can they claim that the lunar orbiter which had a very small size, had hydrogen fuel cells a technology that even today is not reliable, had sufficient power to thrust it 250,000 miles back.
I, as the previous poster claimed, do freely admit that i write exactly what comes into my mind. What else did he think?
What comes into my mind is NASA expect us to believe that a car with five passengers can drive 150 miles uphill on a full tank, yet carrying two passengers the same car with the same fuel tank can travel 250,000 miles. Then they release a hydrogen battery powered remote control car and travel back the 250,000 miles downhill.
It really is incomprehenseable.
I suggest that the Saturn V carrying a smaller payload would have simply been able to thrust the payload into HIGH earth orbit say 250 -300 miles up.Which as far as i know nobody has ever done.
Why do you think the Soviets despite their lead in the sapace race never went to the moon?
The USSR which had astronaughts in space for long periods, had a space station, had much more reliable rockets that even the USA uses them to launch many of its satelites.
If it was possible they would have gone and done it.
But it is not possible.
You would need several Saturn V stapped together. _________________

Because, according to legend the moon's 'gravity well' is much smaller than that of the Earth, requiring correspondingly less power to return

Like most things - how a CD or a computer works for example - it is incomprehensible until you understand how. With some things there is no intuitive understanding, although that also depends on your background training.

Well, rather than 'suggest', how about you do the math and prove it?
| stelios wrote: | | Why do you think the Soviets despite their lead in the space race never went to the moon? |
They did - though they achieved what their program required with unmanned probes.
| stelios wrote: | | The USSR which had astronaughts in space for long periods, had a space station, had much more reliable rockets that even the USA uses them to launch many of its satelites. |
The Russians (who prefer the term 'cosmonaut' to 'astronaut') used a modular rocket launcher system (later the Vostok) which involved developing one model then strapping them together in multiples to launch different payload weights. However as with any such ad hoc system in any application, it reaches a point where it is no longer an efficient method.
| stelios wrote: | If it was possible they would have gone and done it.

On the contrary, the Saturn V was exactly what was needed to achieve the flight. Not a pound weight more nor less. _________________ Dissolution of the Global Corporations.
