From the Earth, they had to launch the ascent stage, the descent stage, the command module they lived in on the way to and from the Moon, the service module containing the provisions needed to keep the command module going, and the third stage that fired to send them from Earth orbit to the Moon. That makes a big difference without even going into the 6x gravity and having to push through the atmosphere. |

Who said it was efficient? It's actually not particular efficient - the advantage of Aerozine-50 is that it's stable and hypergolic (it starts burning as soon as it contacts an oxidizer), unlike hydrogen, which tends to boil off - the reason there are those white plumes coming off a Saturn V about to be launched - and needs to be started. Hydrogen and oxygen together are the most efficient fuel-oxidizer combination there is, with a specific impulse around 450. Aerozine-50 is more like 250. |

Lunar escape velocity) vs. escape velocity from Earth's gravity (approx. 10 km./sec) takes less than 10% of the energy. In addition, the Lunar module that they left the surface in was basically a sheet metal box, incredibly light. Everything not needed was left on the surface. I don't have time or motivation to explain everything, but remember mass times velocity squared. Have you taken a basic course in physics? Orbital mechanics? Its the 21st century. The average Joe cannot begin to understand what is going on without the science and math education required. I was an aerospace engineer for decades. When I needed an expert I would call the Propulsion Dept. or whatever to find out what I needed. BTW, when I was at Rockwell in Downey working on the Space Shuttle in the 80s, I was responding to a government Request for Proposal to study "cryogenic calorimetry" which was the study of heat transfer from cryogenic (very cold) vessels. They directed me to George in the Lab&Test Dept. I went to George who had retired and returned to work as a consultant. When I asked about the subject he said, "Oh yeah, I wrote the book on that in 1943". He reached into a desk drawer and pulled out the book he had written. He had been working for North American Rockwell for over 60 years. We had some incredibly smart men like that who made Apollo and Shuttle possible. |
