Re: If the Moon landing was real: How the hell did they take off FROM the moon?
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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6231580


Um, 1 man on the LEM and 2 men on the lunar module. 3 - 1 = 2 men on the Moon dummy.
 Quoting: Top Hat


Dummy? OK. LEM = Lunar Excursion Module. That's what landed on the moon, with two men.

Command module orbited with one man.

At least you could have googled LEM.

Wow..

There are some legitimate questions about he moon landing.

But when people who obviously failed high school physics try to make scientific arguments. They just add fuel to the ones that claim it was all done as it's stated.

Please people, if you are a science flop, don't try to figure it out... you only make things worse.

Re: If the Moon landing was real: How the hell did they take off FROM the moon?
Taking off from earth and taking off from the moon is most probably two entirely different things.

Its called Gravity!

On earth we have gravity to overcome while on the moon the gravity is much less which means the propellant needed would be much less. I.e no rockets just a small controlled explosion to get off the surface..Then inertia would take care of the rest.

While im not saying the moon landing is real or fake taking off from the moons surface is easy due to the low gravity. and im sure they did it with small explosives on the base of the lander that shot the passenger but up in to orbit very slowly.

INSANELY LOW GRAV = LITTLE FORCE REQUIRED
 Quoting: Raido


there's plenty of info out there debunking the moon landing... do a youtube search.

I am convinced of this:

we needed to send disinfo to the Soviet Union

Ummm...there were two men in the LEM when it lifted off from the moon, not three. The third was in the orbiting command module.

It did it with sixteen Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters, 5.17 pounds (2.35 kg) each) mounted in four quads
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22629621


ok.... 2 men.

not much difference though; what about the technology of the time? the fuel required would have been hundreds of lbs, no? to take off from point zero. And where is the rocketry apparatus? who built it?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6231580



"OK, 2 men". Hahahaha. And you expect anyone to take you seriously???

Anyway, and I know this will challenge your intellect:

The propellant mass for the ascent stage was 2,353 kg of Aerozine 50 fuel / nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer. Thrust generated was 16,000 N.

No I know you are nowhere near capable of doing the math, but if you do a calculation for the thrust and burn required for lunary escape velocity, that is more than enough to do the job.
