Nothing could be further from the truth......
I see a properly presented forensic engineering analysis, including the experimental portions. Straw man -- rejected.
You are not qualified to determine whether this is an appropriate expression of forensic engineering. The experts disagree with you -- and contrary to what you claim, they are experts.
Ignorance is not a sufficient basis from which to make a credible charge. Further, you have fled from all opportunity to present your findings to the appropriate authority in person. Someone who cowers in anonymity cannot credibly accuse others of evasion. NASA's claims are as written, and those are accepted by the relevant scientific and engineering community. Your layman's opinion is irrelevant.
This doesn't even make sense.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Experts don’t “agree” on this NASA nonsense. Not in the sense that NASA’s bogus fairy tale was/is vetted by competent professionals outside of the agency and found to indeed be true.
The issue with the Teflon chemistry business and the pretended Apollo 13 explosion is a great case in point, and is a case no different in this regard from that of Apollo 8 and the “astronauts’ “ nonsensical grade school level feigned illness in space.
In the latter case, the Apollo 8 case, NASA’s chief physician and evaluating clinician, Dr. Charles Berry, claimed “astronauts” Borman, Lovell and Anders could not have had influenza in cislunar space because they had received Hong Kong Flu vaccines. This complete jive was repeated in real-time reports ad nauseam in newspaper articles, not to mention respected publications like National Geographic. In the May 1969 National Geographic, none other than Lt. General Sam Phillips USAF himself wrote that publication’s cock and bull account of Apollo 8’s pretended first journey outside the earth’s gravitational reach. Even in that account, National Geographic’s report, one finds this idiotic BULL emphasizing how it was known with certainty that the “astronauts” did not have influenza because they had been vaccinated.
So let’s not get confused here. Every first year, wet behind the ears new grad, first day on the job medical intern knows that influenza vaccines are NOT 100 % efficacious, not even close. And if a patient is sick in such a way sign and symptom wise that an influenza diagnosis fits, the diagnosis needs to be seriously considered regardless of vaccination status or the doc may have a DEAD patient on his/her hands. As a matter of fact, roughly a million people died as consequence of the Hong Kong Flu pandemic of 1968/1969, not to mention millions and millions more becoming very very very sick and ultimately recovering.
So just because a NASA “expert” makes a claim that something is true, does not make it so. Just ask any reasonably attentive intern the influenza question.
The problem with this ridiculous and ridiculously powerful type of PR is that it’s quite literally impossible to counter. Even if a thoughtful physician, and one two or three may have done this, came across the National Geographic article by Phillips, or read one of the Berry quotes in the NY Times, and went on to write to National Geographic, a newspaper, Berry, Phillips, or NASA generally, and pointed out quite appropriately/correctly that vaccination does not guarantee influenza immunity, nothing would and perhaps nothing in fact did never did despite a letter or two, come of that sort of thing. In the first place, the doc would simply be pointing out a basic error with respect to the judgment of these people about the contagiousness of influenza with respect to post vaccination status. They would not be broadly challenging the authenticity of Apollo. National Geographic is not going to post a retraction and say Sam Phillips was wrong, nor is the NY Times. These patently ridiculous, flat out inane tales are perpetuated courtesy of the community’s blind respect for NASA’s/American Governmental Science authority.
Vaccines for influenza don’t guarantee immunity. But when such erroneous statements are written in highly respected publications by bogus “authorities” like Lt. General Sam Phillips USAF, as wrong as they may be, because of the context of their presentation, their being a feature of this great story about man’s great achievement circumnavigating the earth/moon loop, there is essentially no chance the reality of the bogusness with respect to all this JIVE is gonna’ find some breathing room and surface in the public conscious.
Ditto for the idiotic and ever so nonsensical claim made by the Apollo 13 Investigators, the claim that there was 0.13 pounds of Teflon available for combustion at the time of the 10-20 joule explosion initiating spark. This 0.13 lb quantity was not a measurement derived at by way of careful experimentation. There are no details/specifics of said experiment provided by the investigation committee. There is no documentation of this experiment such that it might be repeated as it certainly should have been by investigators wholly unconnected to the agency. There is no publication of this material, the method of determining the quantity of Teflon available for combustion in NASA’s own publications let alone a peer reviewed journal.
Experts do not agree on this nonsense as experts have never reviewed it. Indeed, it does not even exist for review.
Unfortunately, people, even professional engineers see a 273 page report/congressional review on the Apollo 13 Problem and have no reason to question the authority of the presumed to be honest authors of the scientific materials supporting the report’s claims and so these scientific materials are never studied seriously as they should be, and so never challenged. But this is not to say the materials are reflective of serious scientific work. Claiming that there was 0.13 pounds of Teflon available to combust and ultimately blow oxygen tank 2 is not a legitimate claim because it is wholly unsupported by ANY EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER.
Jay confuses the fact that NASA’s nonsense is only rarely subjected to serious and appropriate challenge with said nonsense being therefore true. Nonsense can only be nonsense no matter how well one tells fairy tales in an effort to spin said nonsense into the illusion of some pathetic megalomaniacal "reality". Because NASA abuses its authority in such a way that its BULL is effectively passed as something more substantive than gas does not mean their BULL is true. BULL is BULL. NASA was and remains very capable at covering up their lies, passing their jive off as reality, ripping us all off because they are so well funded and have the support of the American government and military at the highest levels.
But because that is the case does not also make it the case that receiving a vaccine for influenza guarantees immunity to the Hong Kong Flu. It does not mean that 0.13 pounds of Teflon soaking in a tank of O2 and baked in an oven at 1000 degrees leaves 0.13 pounds of Teflon remaining after the cooking is done. None of this stuff is true at all. The only thing that is true about any of this BULL is that NASA claims it is not bull, and unfortunately given, their authority and the respect for “science“ in our community, these rip off artists have gotten away with it for a long time.
