Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

Garibaldis, please.

Not the Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment?

ETA: damn you Mr Denyer!

Those not in-the-know are going to be scratching their heads over that one!

I suspect a US custard cream is not the same as a UK custard cream. Either that, or you do weird things with your biscuits, and you should stop that.

They aren't as widely available in stores here, so the last ones I had were homemade. Keeping them in the fridge seemed like a good idea.

The weight formula is defined as the product of the mass of an object and the gravitational constant (g = 9.8). SI unit of weight is Newton (N).

Do you think it is possible she is confusing mass, weight and inertia?

Confusing? Vixen? G'wan, pull the other one!

Do you think it is possible she is confusing mass, weight and inertia?

Probably, since experience indicates she doesn’t actually know what any of those are. She seems to have confused the notion of a heavy backpack wanting to tip you over backwards with the “weight ratio” that somehow makes carrying all that weight arduous. There is no way to read her claim in a way that makes sense physically. She’s just flapping her mouth.

Quite possibly.

Have you ever noticed how many biscuits are named after revolutionaries? You've got your garibaldis, your bourbons and your Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment.

Alexei?

You have nothing to lose but your wafers

I have a brother-in-law who's a Green Beret. They'll often ruck 100 - 120 lbs. of gear over long distances. And they're not noted for falling over under the weight of their packs.

He mentioned working with the SAS, and said the Green Berets hold them in high regard. As professional a force as he's ever worked with.

My picture is the Marines crossing the Falklands. They carried everything they needed for the multi day march plus all their weapons and ammunition ready for the battle at the other end.

What do you mean by a satellite "at the same speed of orbit as the Moon"? What orbit would this satellite be in?

What do you mean by a satellite "at the same speed of orbit as the Moon"? What orbit would this satellite be in?

For reference: an Earth orbit with the same period as the moon would only occur at one of the Earth-Moon Lagrange Points. These are stable, or meta-stable, positions that have a fixed relationship to both the Earth and the Moon. They also have nothing to do with the Apollo 11 communications issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point#:~:text=External links-,Lagrange point,-74 languages

Interestingly, NASA did explore placing a satellite to relay communications while the Command Module was behind the moon, I think in a halo orbit around the earth/moon L2 point, but it was deemed not worth the effort and expense at that point.

"Geopositioned" doesn't mean geostationary, but perhaps 'geopositioned' does?

Haha, I just got that.

I suppose if Vixen was really interested in finding out the role of satellites in Apollo, and the way information was sent around the world to where it needed to be, she might look on the Honeysuckle Creek website, or search for the way Intelsat satellites were involved. And of course there are the myriad weather satellites used during the missions. I suspect there is a considerable lack of interest in finding anything out.

this will be highly confusing then.


Because it was “probably filmed on earth.”

"Geopositioning" is using satellites (GPS) to identify an object's geographic position

So Vixen is talking about satellites at an altitude of 0km?
