I never understood why Hoaxers can't grasp a concept that is introduced to teenagers http://www.schoolphysics.co.uk/age11-14/Heat energy/Transfer of heat energy/text/Vacuum_flask/index.html Just replace that blue liqiud with two stick figures for the astronauts...

They will grasp at any ridiculous straw even if it makes them look very foolish to real engineers.. I'm an accountant and even i think it makes them look foolish :-) I have yet to see any kind of (unfacedeskworthy) explanation how the fakers came to the conclusion they could get away with that "flimsy looking LM".

I have a suspicion that the hoax believers think that real life spacecrafts have to look something like the spacecrafts they see in movies. Here is an example of what I mean: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the next generation of manned ships designed to Boldly Go, etc, they could design them in all sorts of iconic styles.

Sorry dude but I can top that in relation to the worst lemon ever, mine was a SIMCA1000. This car was a rotten son of a dustbin and even the 70s technology of these french #@&/!-cars were developed by a bunch of drunken freaks. I remember a night in the winter when all cars were covered with snow. So I brushed away the snow from the car, entered it and started. I had to wait at a traffic light and looked around me inside the car and thought: Hmm. The interior is of brown color. 2 hours ago it was in black. Hmm. Hell, thats not my SIMCA! Means, I tooked the wrong car but the keys matched perfectly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted August 3, 2016 #110 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So, it's charts you want? Here's my favorite two images of all time - I've linked them rather than embedded, because they are rather large, esp. the first one...: Apollo Lunar Landing Mission Profile - this (now-digitally enhanced) amazing chart was developed in May 1967, more than two years before Apollo 11 actually went ahead and did it... Nevertheless, it is almost spot on when you compare everything, even the timings, with the actual mission. If you have a humungous printer or are prepared to do some stitching, this will create a wonderfully sharp poster up to about 6 feet (2 meters) wide! Refer here for more information - you can legally print this for personal use as it is in the public domain - just don't try to sell it for profit.. The Saturn V, A complete 'cutaway' that gives a wonderful and easily understandable description of what is without doubt the finest rocket ever designed and put into service. Not as big as the previous image, but still prints to a fine poster! Many more posters and other Apollo memorabilia here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
