Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

[Mojo]

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

Aww, don't give the game away!

 

[P.J. Denyer]

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

At least their orbital period is easy to calculate.

 

[Helen]

At least their orbital period is easy to calculate.

Even I could do that!

 

[EHocking]

Even I could do that!

With a calendar…even

 

[Helen]

With a calendar…even

I don't like calendars, they (Big Calendar) make them different every year to make people buy new ones.

 

[EHocking]

Ah. I have a Mayan one. Good for my lifetime at least.

Having your weight reduced to 1/6g has no effect on the strength of your muscles.

If the argument that you appear to be (clumsily) putting forward were true, it would work when multiplied as well as when divided. A 180 lb. astronaut could go to a body where his weight was tripled, and pick up something that's ¼ his weight and it would be no different than lifting 45 lbs. on earth, even though it weighs 135 lbs. where he is, simply because their weight ratios are the same.

Don't lie, Vixen. You've had that analogy explained to you. You're just showing how frustrated you are about losing yet another argument in favor of a half-baked conspiracy theory, like when you insinuated nonexistent misogyny in order to deflect questions regarding an obvious lie of yours regarding photography.

I never said anything about muscles. Please read more carefully in future. You claimed a man weighing 180lbs would have no problem wearing his own weight on his back on the Moon, as opposed to on Earth. I simply pointed out the ratio remains exactly the same regardless of gravity.

There really is no buoyancy effect on the Moon. There is no wind to help ease the load.

You originally said, with the relevant part highlighted -
"Dearie me. The Moon being 1/6th gravity of Earth does not mean a weight on your back is any less lighter. The weight of 180lbs to your 180lbs on your back would still be in the same ratio even on the Moon and still as arduous to carry on your back"

It wouldn't. It would be lighter and easier to carry.

This is utter rubbish even by your standards.

There really is no buoyancy effect on the Moon. There is no wind to help ease the load.

Objects weigh approximately one-sixth as much as on Earth.

 

[Vixen]

Gravity is gravity. And gravity on the moon is about 1/6 that on the earth. So an object that weights 180lb on earth weighs about 30lb on the moon.

Do you genuinely not understand this?

Er, by the same criteria, what do you think happens to a man who weighs 180lbs on earth?

Clue: the ratio to back pack remains identical, in other words.

So know we know she is not only ignorant of physics, but also of human physiology.

The ratio remains the same, the ease of carrying it doesn't.

The ratio is irrelevant.

What does wind have to do with buoyancy?

Clue: the ratio to back pack remains identical, in other words.

The ratio is irrelevant for the reasons I gave, which you clearly cannot understand.

A man who weighs 180 pounds on Earth weighs 30 pounds on the Moon. That same man carrying a backpack that weighs 150 pounds on Earth would be carrying a backpack that weighs 25 pounds on the Moon. The combined weight of man and backpack on Earth is 330 pounds. The combined weight of the man and the backpack on the Moon is 55 pounds.

55 pounds is vastly less than 330 pounds.

She's a "numbers person."

But he's just as strong as on earth

 

[Vixen]

This is utter rubbish even by your standards.

Objects weigh approximately one-sixth as much as on Earth.

Er, and so does a human being.

 

[catsmate]

Er, and so does a human being.

Finally you get something right!!!

That only affects the counterweight of the astronaut, which will have some effect on balance, but the equipment will still be much easier to carry than on Earth.
