not true.
and if we are to argue that the radiation belts stop humans going through...... you do realise that it would wreck electronic circuits as well?
starfish prime being the prime example (oooh a pun)
and so all extra-terrestial missions would be impossible.
and is the iss faked too? mir? |
The international space station and all shuttle missions have always stayed in LOW EARTH ORBIT
No human has gone beyond this point. The moon is 250,000 miles away ISS is 100 miles away. Big difference. _________________

Johndoe I asked :-
| Quote: | | "Are you saying that the radiation from the Van Allen belt can destroy inanimate substance as well? Drivel" |
you responded:-
| Quote: | | it's well documented. radiation breaks electrical equipment. |
How about you answer the question I asked and not the one you want to answer. I know that radiation can destroy equipment. Heat is a form of radiation for God's sake. There are many forms of radiation but I asked about the Van Allen radiation destroying electrical equipment.
| Quote: | | maybe you shouldn't call things drivel that you have no idea about. |
Maybe you should speak less drivel and stick to the point.
| Quote: | "These man-made radiation belts eventually crippled one-third of all satellites in low orbit. "
"It can also overload and destroy electrical equipment." |
Man-made. Did you get that little bit. Man-made. What about the Van Allen belt?
| Quote: | | blackcat how about you educate yourself before you speak on topics you have no knowledge of in future? |
How about you use your superior knowledge to answer the question instead of waffling around the topic? Just to remind you - you stated
| Quote: | and if we are to argue that the radiation belts stop humans going through...... you do realise that it would wreck electronic circuits as well?
|
You were clearly talking about the Van Allen radiation wrecking electronic circuits, not any man-made radiation. Do you stand by this drivel or do you wish to "educate" me somehow? |

Don't see anyone suggesting they didn't go into orbit, do you? The film of them in the capsule attempting to fake their distance from the Earth proves that!  |
Feel free to start an "OBL confession tape" thread then.
Telecaster put his ignorance and gullibility on public display with the radiation issue and then frantically tried to cover his tracks. That's something he needs to deal with.
But your moon-hoax theory gets better and better...
The astronauts did actually launch?
This means a secret re-entry and recovery followed later by a faked re-entry and recovery, or a week in orbit with thousands of professional and millions of amateur astronomers wondering what that new satellite is. The "week in orbit" option would then mean voice-doubles to do the acting in the studio .... etc etc. I could go on but your "theory" is already looking ridiculous enough.

There are many different forms of radiation and they can vary greatly in intensity. It is a simple task to design electronic circuitry able to withstand radiation which would be lethal to humans. The point is there is no comparison between a man passing through the Van Allen belts and a piece of electronic equipment passing through. A man cannot be engineered. There is no argument that radiation can damage inanimate objects - I once lost a bar of chocolate left in sunlight so I know from bitter experience. Your argument that because electronic equipment survived the Van Allen belt then humans could also is nonsense. It is as nonsensical as saying the Russians would have revealed the hoax to the world rather than rejoice at the Americans being suckered to the tune of billions of dollars. By whoever siphoned it off! |

The "issue", if you'll look at the thread title is the moon-landing CT.
However, if it will settle you down then please start an "OBL confession" thread and I will discuss it with you there. Even better - I'll start one myself.

Not ingenious - just routine. If you have some information as to how it is impossible for a powered spacecraft to be unable to do what I suggested please explain why not. It is insufficient to simply state that it is not possible. It seems very simple to do. The spacecraft was powered and could have maintained a position as I suggested very easily. You seem to be lacking in some very basic understanding of how a craft maintains orbit. There is ZERO chance it would have hit the deck if they wished it not to do so. Have you not heard of geo-stationary orbit? |

Geostationary orbit can only be maintained at heights of around 22,000 miles. The Apollo launches hit orbit at a few hundred k's, 12 minutes or so after launch. That's what the Saturn V did.
Low earth orbits result in about 13 revolutions of the earth each day (depending on direction of travel). Travelling much slower than that (to stay in daylight, for example) means you're not actually in orbit, you're in a trajectory that will bring you back to earth very soon.
It's very easy to research this stuff, blackcat. You must try it some time. _________________ So remember - next time you can't find a parking spot, go to plan B: blow up your car |

Something like "That post was plain wrong. I stand corrected" would be appropriate at this point.
Or, I suppose, you could just slap together another jokey photomontage, if that's your idea of retiring gracefully from the debate. _________________ So remember - next time you can't find a parking spot, go to plan B: blow up your car |

The LCVG accomplishes this task by circulating cool water through a network of PVC tubes in direct contact with the astronaut's skin. The water draws heat away from the body, resulting in a lower core temperature. The water then returns to the Primary Life Support System, or PLSS, where it radiates heat into space, thereby cooling before being recirculated.
Because the space environment is essentially a vacuum, heat cannot be lost through heat conduction, and can only be dissipated through thermal radiation, a much slower process. Thus, even though the environment of space can be extremely cold, excessive heat build-up is inevitable. Without an LCVG, there would be no means by which to expel this heat, and it would affect not only EVA performance, but the health of the suit occupant as well.
The LCVG used with the Apollo/Skylab A7L suit could remove heat at a rate of 62,112 Joules/hour (~2000 Btu/hour).[2] |
So, you got any other technology that "didn't exist"?[/quote]
The source was incorrect. My bad. Stated method for temperature maintenance is indeed cliamed to be infrared radiation from spacesuit.
Re impossible technology.
Mostly I agree with Eric Hufschmidt
http://members.aol.com/PainfulQuestions/ApolloMoonHoax.pd
If there was going to be a mission to put men on the moon, surely a precursor would have been to try an unmanned landing and take-off first?

There are some classic time wasters on this thread, guys and gals.
It's like a disinfo agents' party.
Naming no names (it is rather bleeding obvious who they are), there are certain people who seem to do nothing but ask pointless questions and avoid answering properly any questions directed at them.

Again you're wrong. Gravity at 200k altitude is not dramatically different from gravity at the earth's surface.
where r is the distance from the centre of the earth, i.e. the radius (not height) of the orbit in this case.
The radius of the earth is approx 6,400k. 6400^2 = 40,960,000
200k up, r^2 becomes 43,560,000
That's about a 6% decrease.
It's the orbital speed of the vehicle that keeps it aloft, not lack of gravity up there.
For example, the Space Shuttle operating at 300k altitude has to maintain a speed of about 17,000 mph. Apollo 11 parking orbit was at around 200k, and would have needed to travel slightly faster. The only way for Apollo 11 to maintain an 'always daylight' orbit at that height would be to have the rockets burning for over a week, which is clearly impossible.
Airliners can follow the sun (Roy Harper's "Twelve hours of sunset" was inspired by such a flight). But only as long as they burn fuel and travel at airliner speeds.
All of which, by the by, explains why geo-stationary satellites cannot be in low earth orbit. It isn't possible to go slow enough and remain aloft.

oh wow blackcat you managed to answer my questions..... wait..... that's wrong somehow...... you didn't. why is that? is it because you are totally incapable?
and for your answer yes you can compare how a man and a machine pass through the van allen belts.
"The astronaut scenario is about right - there is no way that they could have passed through Van Allen and lived - radiation would have killed them stone dead - if not then, then very soon afterwards. The protection afforded by that bean tin = no chance."
a word to sum up this? WRONG
"Once in space with the effects of gravity mimimised it requires relatively puny amounts of power to stay up."
well that all depends on how far you go doesn't it? inverse square law and all that. |

The moon landing hoax and 911 false flag and all the other BS (especially the stuff about international banking families having the power to create money out of nothing via debt creation) is being covered up by all major governments. This is a truly global cabal with their Quabbalistic 'religion' (PSYOP)
They have had an unprecedented amount of intellectual firepower and finance at their disposal to pull these conjuring tricks and keep truthseekers at bay. Figgering out how they did it was never going to be easy. Impossible without the internet. So how was the moon landing hoax possible? Because everyone, not just NASA, was in on it.
Freemasonry and Zionism control virtually all governments - even some Muslim ones. With total press control and perps up to their necks in secret societies with dire consequences for those who betray the order only a small number of whistleblowers would be expected, and these could be dealt with by ridicule, or as a last resort, 'suiciding'. _________________ Belief is the Enemy of Truth www.dissential.com |

It is NOT necessary to have the rockets burning constantly to maintain a speed of 17,000 mph. Once the speed has been reached there is little to stop it staying at that speed. The Earths pull would gradually cause it (or anything else in orbit) to eventually come down to Earth but it is a question of how quickly this would happen. By the occasional use of fuel it could be maintained at a relatively low orbit for easily a week. The same applies to the space station which is why they can stay up for months. In the case of the Saturn rockets they could easily reach 17,000 mph and once achieved it is easy to stay for a week in an "always daylight" orbit.
| Quote: | | All of which, by the by, explains why geo-stationary satellites cannot be in low earth orbit. |
It explains why geo-stationary satellites do not get placed in low Earth orbits as the optimum orbit is much further away and allows satellites placed there to remain there much longer before their inevitable return to Earth. Decades rather than years, months or days. |

If you must quote something then address it to whoever wrote it. That stuff about radiation killing the astronauts does not belong to me.
And no it does not depend on how far you go. Once the effects of gravity have been minimised it requires relatively puny amounts of power to stay up. I hope that helps you to read what I said. |

The Shuttle / Apollo 11 module is constantly accelerating towards Earth. Hence the circular orbit. Without gravity, the spacecraft would fly off into space. Did you not like the 'inverse square law' equation that I "dredged up"? It's real science ! <gasp>
Drive your car off a cliff and things (including the driver) will "float around". Doesn't mean there's no gravity at the earth's surface, does it?

It is NOT necessary to have the rockets burning constantly to maintain a speed of 17,000 mph. Once the speed has been reached there is little to stop it staying at that speed. The Earths pull would gradually cause it (or anything else in orbit) to eventually come down to Earth but it is a question of how quickly this would happen. By the occasional use of fuel it could be maintained at a relatively low orbit for easily a week. The same applies to the space station which is why they can stay up for months. In the case of the Saturn rockets they could easily reach 17,000 mph and once achieved it is easy to stay for a week in an "always daylight" orbit.

I specifically didn't say that. Look back. I said that to maintain a permanent daylight orbit would require engines on the whole time in order to orbit at the very slow speed required. 17,000 mph doesn't require engine power to maintain the orbit. 500mph to track the sun does, big time.

The possible orbits for geo-stationary satellites vary little from the "optimum". And a few hundred k's altitude isn't even close to the possible range.
Science will not yield just to suit your beliefs, blackcat. Stop making an ass of yourself and take time to reflect. Stop posting on this subject until you understand it. Ask questions at a physics forum or something. _________________ So remember - next time you can't find a parking spot, go to plan B: blow up your car

I think you are looking in the wrong direction Blackcat. The moon hoax did not have to fool those with telescopes. They were in on the scam. Most were enemies of the US. Fremasons in the US sold US out by stealing the money from US taxpayer to fund black project - probably Israeli nukes (about same time I thnk) _________________ Belief is the Enemy of Truth www.dissential.com |

"And no it does not depend on how far you go. "
are you trying to deny that gravitational pull on an object is determined by distance? that would be really really stupid blackcat.
"Once the effects of gravity have been minimised it requires relatively puny amounts of power to stay up."
and how would one minimise the effects of gravity?
"Earth radius is 5K."
oh dear rodin, oh dear.
and peeps of you want to discuss physics it is best to do it in metric. |
