| Anonymous Coward User ID: 61780440  United States06/19/2019 10:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the entire solar system is hurdling through space at 514,000mph, the Earth is moving around the sun at 67,000mph and the moon is moving all at the same time at 2300mph. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1812489 How can something in space navigate around when everything is moving so fast? After an hour in space, wouldn’t everything be 500,000 miles away from where it just was an hour ago? Kinda like, when you're in a car traveling 60Mph and you toss a ball from one hand to the other. It continues forward motion at approximately 60mph while traveling from one hand to the other, and doesn't smack you in the head at 60Mph. AC 75784082 said it first.... Didnt notice that... So yeah that. |
Proud Trump Supporter  User ID: 77685818 United States06/19/2019 10:54 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well there was a space ship that crashed in Roswell. And in the 40s there was the Philadelphia experiment that ended up in the military discovering and learning how to time travel. Military went to the future and brought back intelligence/info. The UFO was backed engineered.. however the Nazis were already working with ET and had UFOs during the war (there are real photos of the UFOs flying along some of their planes. So in reality... the moon trip in 69 was basically an optics smoke screen as the US military has bases off-world (Fact) for years, only the GP is kept in the dark like mushrooms and fed BS. If people really knew what was going on behind the classified military secrets it would blow their socks and eyelashes off. The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. Winston Churchill Daily Updates Thread: ASS IS IN THE WRINGER - Rolling Updates from 11/16/20 to present (Page 316) |

OP, the spacecraft doesn't magically lose its inertia within the solar system just because it leaves earth. The solar system doesn't magically fly away from the spacecraft. Navigating to the moon is just a matter of raising your apogee at the right time until it intersects the moon (or in Apollo's case, a free return trajectory looping around the moon). If you want a simple demonstration of this I suggest trying Kerbal Space Program, even kids can get a feel for it. If you want a more accurate simulation, Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator is a great place to start and NASSP has a very high fidelity simulation of Apollo complete with the original Apollo Guidance Computer software. [link to nassp.sourceforge.net] Kerbal ROCKS. Problem is...kerbal looks FLAT...until you get some altitude. Soon we will be innundated with flat kerbalists. |

And people here on GLP keep trying to help him understand just enough to give him enough confidence to attempt it. OP, dont try it. It's not worth it. You still have a life to live, dont risk it. Find something else you are passionate about. Maybe botany, or model ship building, or taxidermy, or something. It's better than splitting your melon or crotch on a telephone pole trying to make it to the moon. |
