Space travel or participating in this thread?

People here hadn't even heard of the refuelling programs. ISS/SpaceX <shrug>

Or, unlike you, we actually understand the experiments,.....

A straw man of Nixon on Earth weighs the same as the real Nixon on the Moon. If properly stuffed.

And when you're done weighing it, you can put it out in your field, where it will scare away crows by shouting deleted expletives at them.

Obviously she also meant to post a different link. Triple-niners get infinite do-overs, don't you know?

It works like this. You read a few interesting articles in magazines and newspapers. Then, in conversation you mention it and add a link from perhaps wikipedia for those interested.

Ideally on the actual topic under discussion, rather than crowbar in something totally irrelevant that you read to try and make you sound way more informed than you actually are.

As a public service I will explain what Vixen means by "mean SD" in her various posts in this thread.

"SD" is the noun in the phrase, and does indeed stand for "standard deviation," but that in turn has an unconventional meaning here. In statistics, standard deviation is a measurement, expressed as a positive real number, of the amount of variation (that is to say, roughly, the quantitative inconsistency) in a set of data. In Vixen's phrase it is an integer describing how close or far a single specific measurement (e.g. a person in a population) is from the mean, as measured in standard deviations. Where a statistician might validly describe the magnitude of a sample from a population as e.g. "two standard deviations from the mean," Vixen would incorrectly phrase this as the sample having "a standard deviation of two," or in short, "two SD."

Not quite true. It shows +/-sd.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

No, the wooosh lies with you and Myriad.

Did I miss the post where you explained what you mean by 'mean sd'?

They notice that you've yet again avoided answering several basic questions.

Would you expect to see stars in the Apollo photos taken on the Moon, given the known camera settings available?

The 'mean' was a play on words, 'mean' having several meanings.

No, it's to do with the topic. We've covered so far, the lighting, the stars, the radiation and the Nixon phone call.

Do go on.

Not in statistics it doesn't.

Ah. Esprit de l'escalier might have landed if only you had thought of it at the time.

Full disclosure: when you asked if we were quite sure there were no negatives, I replied "Yes. Very sure". It was a minute later that I literally jumped out of the shower to edit that to "Yes. Positive".

If you want the laugh, you need to beat the edit window.

And in the video the second man to step on the moon describes it.

The "what do you notice" ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ is a lazy device that has infected social media of late. It's a way that the person posting can imply they have spotted something no-one else has, which means they are cleverer than everyone else. I'll make it simple: you haven't and you aren't.
