[quote:What Now?!:MV8xOTY5NDM0XzMzMDYwNDI1X0ZCNjhEMDM3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 6231580:MV8xOTY5NDM0XzJCREJGRjEy] It was only the 3 astronauts, right? No rocket scientists. No reconstructed apparatus. And what about the operations of firing a rocket WITH 3 MEN AND FUEL, CAMERA'S etc FROM THE MOON? How the hell could any scientist speculate that 3 astronauts would be able to take off by themseves? From point zero, the amount of fuel needed? What about the times; we needed to send disinfo to the Soviet Union... 1+1 = 2. It was fake. Recondition your mind: Aint NO ONE been on the moon. [/quote] rtre I don't have the patience to read all the replies to your thread starter OP, so to everyone else, I apologize if some of my reply has already been covered. First, only 2 men landed on the moon, in the lunar module. One man stayed in orbit in a seperate ship in the command/service module. Second, lunar gravity is only 1/6th earth gravity, so lifting off was only 1/6th as hard, requiring only 1/6th the thrust that might have been needed to lift off from earth. So, what weighed about 12,000 pounds on earth only weighed about 2,000 pounds on the moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Module Third, to insure that the ascent stage's rocket motor would start when needed, and not strand two men on the moon, the fuel was a mixture of two components that were in seperate tanks until a valve was opened. The fuel and oxidizer were explosive when combined, so when they were, in a carefully designed reaction chamber, the resulting blast was directed out of an exhaust nozzle---no electricity needed for ignition. Mind you, most of this was calculated using a slide rule (you can look up what those were yourself). Computers back then were very new and primitive by today's standards. In fact the Apollo moon ships had less computing power than the average automobile has today. [/quote]
