Merged Apollo "hoax" discussion - continuation thread

[Jack by the hedge]

I was 4 1/2, and I still think NASA was taking a big chance sending Neil and Buzz there unarmed!

[CT]You still think the LM was unarmed. [/CT]

 

[Willy Ekerslike]

You guys!

And risk them shooting a hole in the spacecraft? There was the running joke, I think involving Pete Conrad, saying that upon arriving on the lunar surface he should scream and cut his mike.

Conversely the Soviet cosmonauts were armed, not because of what they might encounter in space but because of what they might encounter upon landing in a possibly remote area of the Soviet Union. Bears, wolves, etc.

Just to prove to those that the human race is capable of things:

voyager 1 and 2 mission status:

That's right. I had forgotten that.

Okay, they had a knife in survival rucksack no. 1, so they weren't totally unarmed.

Don't bluff me. What kind of fool do you take me for? Why don't you tell us all how hot or cold it was inside the LM on the occasion of the Apollo 11 stay on the moon and likewise please tell us the temperature inside the LM during the Apollo 15 stay.

It is called math, science, physics. Do moon landing deniers take math, science and physics?

Sun angle. The missions on the moon were planned so the life support systems could keep the astronauts alive. The temperature on the moon can be predicted, using math and science. Simple stuff, guess moon landing deniers can't do the science part. Apollo 11, cold, Apollo 15 hot; you can take the sun angle and calculate the temperature. Can you compared the design of the life support systems?

I feel cool now, I estimate the temperature at 60F; I am correct. A human thermometer.
What does temperature have to do with moon landing deniers failed claims?

But what if the bears and wolves had guns?

No one has the right to arm bears.

True, but no one needs to! They got 'dem big nasty claws and teethes! But they are not one trick ponies...err...bruins. Some even clean up quite nicely; my avatar shows a good example of .

Wojtek, is that you?

 

[Border Reiver]

Can't be.

Unless he was really Polish-Ed up for the photo.

I'm relieved to hear it. One does hear such tales of what they do in the woods.

That's all NRA propaganda.

 

[Wolrab]

Does a bear poop in a space capsule in the woods?

 

[azzthom]

Does a bear poop in a space capsule in the woods?

Only if a cosmonaut points a gun at it.

Hey, if I were a bear, I wouldn't want to mess around with someone who just fell from outer space and lived to tell about it.

Well, bears have been known to survive supersonic ejection from B-58 Hustlers... they might not be too impressed.

How did they get the bears into the ejection seats/supersonic jets?

Notice how I don't ask why they were ejecting the bears? After cramming a bear into one of those seats, launching the massive pissed-off critter out of the plane seems perfectly sensible. Landing with it would be insane.
