Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

[The Common Potato]

I'm sitting on my deck chair
When the Moon begins to shine
Reflecting that I missed lunch
And this line just hardly rhymes

And at five o'clock, it's a bit late for my tea...
I'm feeling awful hungry...I did say hun gar eeeeeee....

Can you see it?

 

[The Common Potato]

No. The wall's in the way.

 

[Mojo]

No. The wall's in the way.

you need a geophelobelobbed satellite like the ones they had in the Flowerpot Men.

 

[EHocking]

Never mind that, how could they have been "whizzing around on Land Rovers" on the Moon, several decades before electric-powered Land Rovers were introduced?

And where did they safely park them so they didn’t cause fires?

 

[JesseCuster]

And where did they safely park them so they didn’t cause fires?

In a geopositioned parking orbit.

Obviously faked. Late '60s custom vehicles and no go-faster stripes? Do me a favour!

GM tried to subcontract Art Himsl to paint the LRVs, but his schedule was full.

To be fair, she has demonstrated an uncannily reliable talent for finding subjects of which she knows far less than just about everyone on earth and its major satellite.

I'm waiting for a Russian min-sub to show up with Amanda Knox and a team of Spetznaz guys inside to show up in this conversation at any time.

At least it’s true here that some of the lunar modules did carry radioisotopes.

 

[PSXer]

Isn't the plutonium from the Apollo 13 LM in the ocean somewhere?

Isn't the plutonium from the Apollo 13 LM in the ocean somewhere?

Somewhere off the coast of Japan, I think. I hear ships keep disappearing there.

Nothin' t' see here, folks. Move along, move along.

Yes. The final maneuver to correct the "shallowing" also put the descent stage on a trajectory to dump the fuel canister for the SNAP-27 RTG into a deep, safe place in the ocean. When I was working at Livermore I got to meet a team that works on SNAPs. These are the power supplies for experiments left on the Moon, and for deep space spacecraft that cannot use solar power.

This form of safe disposal was necessary because the SNAP-27 departed from the usual practice of packaging the radioisotope in small, clad pellets that disperse harmlessly in a catastrophe. It used a single cylindrical rod of PuO₂, far below critical mass. Plutonium decays via alpha emission, so it poses no hazard unless handled for an extended period of time. The alpha decay also produces heat, which is what makes the electricity.

Arriving in 3' 10" and counting ...

I'm having trouble understanding some of the technical stuff here, would anyone be willing to help facilitate the communication, so that I can get a better grasp on it?

The Gojira part or the radioisotope part?

 

[Helen]

The party of the first part. Also possibly the party of the second part. And there ain't no Sanity Clause.

 

[MostlyHarmless]

I really miss these threads. It's just too bad it's all rehashed B.S. I'd say we need a better level of crank, but I don't think the best of them could come up with anything even plausible at this late date.
