  2. I am afraid that what you have written is evidence only of your lack of knowledge, understanding and ability to research. The effects of space travel on human fitness will depend on the length of time spent in space. A typical mission on the ISS lasts 6 months, the longest Apollo Mission was Apollo 17 which lasted less than 2 weeks. Take care.

  10.  @yonut7  You wrote: "why the didin't film all expedtion and more of the moon man you go to the moon and make only 1 minute of filming".......Seriously, you have to be trolling. There are hundreds of hours of footage from the various cameras (Westinghouse TV, 16mm etc) as well as thousands of still photographs covering all the Apollo missions. Each mission has a Image and Video Library containing all the footage, photos and audio. Seriously...is you knowledge that poor? Take care.

  13. "how did the module make it thru such intense heat when the temperatures they went thru"...........Heat and Temperature are not the same thing. This is such basic Physics that I genuinely find it hard to believe that some people do not seem to understand it. Take care.

  14. The Descent Module rocket engine had a MAXIMUM thrust of 10,000lb but on landing on the lunar surface it was throttled back to just 3,000 lb. Furthermore, the engine was cut some 2m above the surface. There is absolutely no reason to expect an "impact crater" in such circumstances. Also to say that there was "no dust" is not factual. Dust is clearly observed moving in the footage of the Apollo 11 landing taken from the 16mm camera pointing out the LM window. Aldrin even comments on this shortly before the landing, "picking up some dust". As for Stanley Kubrick, I do not believe that he ever publicly commented on the Apollo Program and he most certainly never described it as a fake. Try getting the basic facts correct. Take care.

  16. Your knowledge and understanding of the Van Allen Belts is lacking. These are regions of trapped particle radiation. They do not contain anything that would cause astronauts to be "burnt up like a crisp" as you claim. These belts were discovered and named after Dr. James Van Allen. He wrote "The radiation belts of the Earth do, indeed, pose important constraints on the safety of human space flight. The very energetic (tens to hundreds of MeV) protons in the inner radiation belt are the most dangerous and most difficult to shield against. Specifically, prolonged flights (i.e., ones of many months’ duration) of humans or other animals in orbits about the Earth must be conducted at altitudes less than about 250 miles in order to avoid significant radiation exposure. A person in the cabin of a space shuttle in a circular equatorial orbit in the most intense region of the inner radiation belt, at an altitude of about 1000 miles, would be subjected to a fatal dosage of radiation in about one week. However, the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage – a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable. The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense." Dr. James A. Van Allen

  19. ​ @michaeldavis6605  Thank you for your reply. The temperature of the lunar surface goes from a minimum of -130°C to a maximum of about 120°C over the course of a lunar day. It does not transition from these extremes instantly. The lunar surface being in a vacuum can not gain heat energy from conduction or convection so the energy transfer is by radiation, photon by photon, which is a gradual process. This means there is a period when the lunar surface temperatures are mid range and this is why all 6 landings occurred shortly after lunar dawn. The measured temperature range during the Apollo 11 landing was -23°C to 7°C. Read "Technical Memorandum TM-70-2015-5. Lunar Surface Temperatures From Apollo 11 Data." which is easily found online. As well as these temperature measurements you will also find details on the Nickel Resistance Thermometer that was used. Take care.

  23. ​ @ralphhenderson7270  Hi Ralph, hope that you are well. You asked "who was filming (Armstrong) exiting the lunar module?" then you wrote "never a 'reasonable' amswer (sic)". So in your world a camera that is deployed and operated by pulling a lever is not "reasonable". Interesting admission. Take care.

  33. The rocket engine of the LM Descent Stage produced just 3000 lb of thrust and was cut some 2m above the lunar surface. So why exactly would you expect a crater?? Take care.

  34. The flag moved when the astronauts touched it. The behaviour of the Apollo Mission flags is exactly what would be expected in a low gravity, zero air resistance environment such as on the lunar surface. The Apollo 11 flag was designed to look like it was unfurled and flying as it would on Earth. (No nation would present a limp hanging flag to the World!). It had a cross-pole along the top to support the fabric. It oscillates while the astronauts are rotating and assembling it and continues this oscillation for a short period afterwards as the Moon has no atmosphere to dampen the oscillations and remove energy from the system. Then there is then a period of over 2 hours as the astronauts continue with their mission while the flag remains perfectly still. The original footage is available in the National Archives. Do some research and go look at it for yourself. Take care.

  35. "A flag engineered to be moving?". No the flag was designed to look like it was fluttering in the wind as it would on Earth. The horizontal bar passing through the top seam of the flag oscillated when supplied with energy as the astronauts moved the flag assembly. Clearly the flag would oscillate under these conditions as there is no atmosphere on the lunar surface to dampen the oscillations. The flag then stops moving shortly after the astronauts stop moving it. Take care.

  36. All 6 lunar landings took place in daytime, early in the lunar day. The sunshine is illuminating the lunar surface. Starlight is dim and will not register when cameras are set for bright conditions. The MAXIMUM lunar surface temperature is about 120C but this temperature was never encountered by the Apollo astronauts as the landings took place early in the lunar day. Take care.

  38.  @samj1012  You have shown little evidence of thinking so far if you can not see the difference between spending 6 months or more in zero g/continuous freefall and spending just a few days in space. You are better than that. Open your mind, use your brain, study the topic, educate yourself....Learn. Take care.

  39.  @fredrodriguez3913  "NASA is now claiming their engineers created a battery powered waving mechanism for the flag"....Nope, NASA have never said such a thing, this appears to be entirely of your own creation.

  40. Hi beau, hope that you are well. You wrote "Why has there been no follow up evidence or photos of the ....landing (sites) ...Mmmm". Why haven't you bothered to take the 10 seconds needed to do the research?......Mmmm. Various Apollo landing sites have been imaged, photographed and identified by several lunar probes and satellites in lunar orbit. For example China's lunar probe, Chang'e 2, which is capable of capturing lunar surface images with a resolution of up to 1.3 metres, spotted traces of the Apollo landing sites and the lunar Rover in 2010. The Japanese SELENE lunar probe obtained several photographs showing evidence of Moon landings and matched the terrain to Apollo footage and the ISRO (India) Chandrayaan-2 orbiter captured an image of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle descent stage. The orbiter's image of the Apollo landing site was released to the public in a presentation on September 3, 2021. In addition NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has also captured sharp clear images of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. Take care.

  41. The Apollo Hasselblad cameras were adjusted to take photos of the bright, daylight lunar surface. If the settings were changed to detect starlight which is very dim them everything else in the photo would just appear as a mass of glare. They had a choice, photograph the moon or photograph stars. In later missions equipment to photograph stars from the lunar surface was brought and the photos are in the Apollo 16 image library. Take care.

  42. Funny: I just asked Google AI "are Moon Landing Photos/Videos fake?" and the answer was "No, the Moon landing photos and videos are not fake. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that the Moon landings happened, including:" Then it elaborates on the evidence at length. Perhaps you are wrong. Take care.

  43. I have watched the Apollo 11 post flight press conference. The astronauts smile, laugh and crack jokes with the reporters as well as answering their questions in detail. The question is, have you actually watched it? Take care.

  45. "and have a heating element that reaches 250 degrees (C, K, F ???) that saturates the chamber just like the Sun saturates the day side of the Moon".......Here you have made a fundamental mistake. While the lunar surface does reach a maximum of about 120° C and a minimum of about -130° C during the course of a lunar day, such temperatures were never experienced by the Apollo astronauts as all 6 landings occurred shortly after lunar dawn when the temperatures were mid range. The recorded temperature range during the Apollo 11 landing for example was -23° C to 7° C. Take care.

  46.  @michaeldavis6605  Hi michael, hope that you are well. Just to take your points one at a time. (1) "260 degrees F during on the day light side of the Moon".....As I mentioned to you before, here you have made a fundamental mistake. While the lunar surface does reach a maximum of about 120° C and a minimum of about -130° C during the course of a lunar day, such temperatures were never experienced by the Apollo astronauts as all 6 landings occurred shortly after lunar dawn when the surface had not heated up and the temperatures were mid range. The recorded temperature range during the Apollo 11 landing for example was -23° C to 7° C. (3) "thermosphere is a layer of the atmosphere that the astronauts would have to travel through to get to the Moon.".....Correct. What about it? (2) "heat and temperature are literally the same thing according to the dictionary"......No, michael, no, just no" Heat and Temperature are NOT the same thing. An Olympic swimming pool filled with boiling water and a cup of boiling water have the same temperature (100° C) but one has far more Heat Energy than the other. Come back an hour later and you can drink the cup of water, try swimming in the pool and see what happens. Michael, you are clearly making an effort to understand science but unfortunately still have some concepts to work on. Take care.

  47.  @michaeldavis6605  "It would be at least 200 degrees F when they landed".....Incorrect. All 6 moon landings took place shortly after lunar dawn when the temperatures were mid range. I have explained this to you before. The recorded temperature range during the Apollo 11 landing for example was -23C to 7C. Please stick to facts. Take care.

  48.  @michaeldavis6605  " Yes i mentioned the thermosphere because its temperature can reach up to 4500 degrees F and the Apollo space craft would have to travel through the Van Allen radiation belts which the ions can reach between 2000k -20000k"...You still do not understand the difference between HEAT and TEMPERATURE. This is basic, basic, Physics. Try studying. Take care.

  49.  @michaeldavis6605 You assume a lot. I have given you the factual data. The lunar surface can not "quickly get up to 260 degrees F"", the moon has mass and a very high heat capacity. The fantasy that you assume and the actual facts are two different things. Take care.

  50.  @Mitchell-lc5kj  "they could not go through the Vanallen (sic) radiation belts".....You do know that Dr. James Van Allen totally disagrees with you.........?
