It may effect unmanned flights , but my statement about manned rocket powered flights stand unchallenged !!
So you're saying that nothing on an unmanned spacecraft is the least bit affected by radiation? Is that your claim? So those people who believed they could charge their phones in the microwave weren't really tricked into wrecking them? Great, now I can't even trust the Internet.
But now that you mention it, I'm really scared. See, when we revised the 601HP chassis into the 701, some stuff got shifted around to simplify assembly. The rad-hard avionics threw off the mass properties and it took quite a while to sort that out. Since according to you we could have left off that big pile of aluminum shielding with no ill effects, I'm afraid Boeing's going to come after me for overcharging them. Can you recommend a good lawyer?
What does that have to do with the price of rice in China !
Well, let's see. You told us that something isn't historically valid until it's repeated and made into an ongoing, commonplace thing. So how many times have we sent people to the Marianas Trench? We need to know just how far your scientific and historical denialism extends. You know, for science. A lot of textbooks are going to need revising for singular events.
That thing back in 1944 wasn't a fake, as far as I know, so that means they must land soldiers at Normandy every year. Or do they do it monthly, since it was timed on a lunar cycle? I have a family reunion in June, so I apologize if I can't make the yearly re-enactment of ... every historical event ever.
That has nothing to do with my hypothesis !!
Oh, I see. You tell us blatantly that the Apollo ship wasn't sufficiently shielded. I give you the actual shielding factor and ask you to show how that's not enough, and all of a sudden the question becomes irrelevant. So if we needed the alien mother ship's shielding to get past the radiation, and the actual amount of shielding isn't relevant, where do we stand on the aliens? Are they also now irrelevant?
Did the Nazi kamikaze need any shielding? Er, I guess it would be a German word, not a Japanese one.
Dummkopfenflugmensch?
Is the math part uncertain? Maybe Jeff Rense has something on his site to help, since he's such a physics guru. I was under the impression the only thing you needed to be a talk radio host was a pulse. (I used to think you also needed a good voice, but then I worked with Larry King once.) Good to know that those broadcast journalism majors also get degrees in medicine, scientific methodology, mathematics, and astrophysics. Otherwise we'd be in danger of having them seriously mislead their audience.
Seriously, how many grams per square centimeter of radiation shielding
would you need in order to be able to fly safely enough to the Moon? 7 obviously isn't enough. What's the real number? 8? 10? 42? 5,300? Can I at least get a ballpark figure and some back-of-the-envelope math to back it up? Obviously the aliens knew, so maybe you can find where in the CIA files they told us.
(Or maybe there's a reason why no one in the aerospace industry doubts the authenticity of Apollo.)
And you seem to misunderstand my intent. I'm not upset. I'm laughing my [anatomy] off, but not for the expected reason. I understand the comedy routine, but as others have said, you're not really giving us much material to work with. It's just not that funny. The alien claim sort of petered out before it really got started. You could have gone a lot farther with the Nazi routine too, but left that behind. If you're going to talk about a human-guided Nazi ICBM, at least paint a mental picture of a pilot with a baron mustache wearing the classic pointy-spike helmet and goggles. And you have to make the cockpit just a bit too small so his knees stick up. And just when the laughter from that dies out, you give the rocket a sidecar. Even Nazis can be funny if you present it right. Look at Dr. Strangelove.
But when all you do is allude to a few of the
actual hoax claims, the humor just gets too watered down. And then you get silly rubes like me who take it seriously despite all the contrary advice. And I have to address the actual claims -- because we have lurkers who might want to see the real answer. But tying it together takes too long. Do you have any idea how hard it is to make the idea of center-of-gravity funny?
Go back and read the beginnings of this thread. That guy at least had a poop fixation and a supporting cast of hilarious sock puppets. And the "prices in China" bit, which you just threw away above? That guy got literally whole
paragraphs out of China and tea and stuff. Now that's the way to engage an audience!
You do know that a hypothesis is not a mad idea sourced from butt central don't you?
