Re: Would the Apollo Moon astronauts have been frozen then cooked like chicken-in-a-bag - One Star Warrior unveiled - page 28
If I were an astronaut in the 1970's there is no way I would agree to haul a dune buggy with me.

All that added weight of a stupid dune buggy would increase my odds for failure to such a degree that I would not take. I think most sane men would choose to hoof it once they got there.

If by chance I did make it all the way to the moon, I would have a camera trained on me to throw an object, a large rock I picked up or whatever, as far into the air for the cameras as I could, and watch it spin like crazy in 1/6 g. (that never happened)

I would also try to jump at least three feet in the air, knowing that I could probably get six to ten feet of air if I really tried, even with all that weight on my back. (that never happened)

I would want to prove I was there.

Guess these asstronauts didn't really care about proving anything, but wanted to take a wild ride in a dune buggy up on the moon. It was worth risking your life to tow the silly dune buggy up there and really "burn rubber." (Something any asshole could do in the sands of the Nevada desert)

Woo-hoo!

Counterpoint (in advance of halcyon Daze chiming in)

They obviously were not worried about the weight of the dune buggy on board, because NASA assured them they could carry it, and by golly they did it with no problem. The proof is - they did it.

They didn't have to show us how objects spin in 1/6 g because we already know how they would spin in 1/6 g. And just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

They didn't have to jump 6 feet in the air because we know they could have if they wanted to. They didn't do it because it was an unnecessary risk. After all they were there. And that proves it. And just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

From a physics point of view, the lunar rover as described in it's specifications and as we see it in photographs could not and would not work on the lunar surface. It appears to be for a lack of a better way to describe it, a lightweight electric cart designed along the same principals as a golf cart. It would work fine in Earth gravity, but on the moon it wouldn't likely work at all, and if it did it would be insanely difficult to steer, brake and accelerate.

The reasons for this are simple. While the mass would be equal to what it is on Earth , it's weight would only be 1/6th what it is on Earth. What this means is that it's resistance to changes in speed and direction would be equal to on Earth, it's traction would only be 1/6th. Applying the accelerator would result in most likely spinning in place with the slightest obstruction. Turning the front wheels to steer wouldn't work, it would resist turning because of the high mass and low weight, making it extremely hazardous. The fact that it looks like what we expect is curious, what would have been simpler and would have actually worked is by differential rotational velocities of the wheels, threr to a side would be best. if the wheels on one side are turning faster than those on the other, it would turn to the direction of the wheels rotating slowest. this would have required fewer parts and it would actually worked. Again, the way i can most easily tell at a glance Apollo was a hoax is how many things about it appear as the person of average intelligence and knowledge expects them to be, which is not what would actually work.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


Right. Actual motion pictures taken from the moon should look absolutely surreal. Instead we get some video that could be taken on earth, with men hooked up to hidden bungee cords, slowed down by 50%. Not much of a show.

1) the NASA's Lunar Lander; or,
2) the Doc's DeLorean time machine in Back to the Future?

to the best of your knowledge, IDW, did the Lunar Lander have any part approximating the flux capacitor? That could be how the excessive heat was dissipated.

It's going off topic again, can I remind everyone please that this thread is only concerning the thermal environment, first post -

There is enough to think about here with the thermal questions without delving into questions about ionising radiation or shadows angles etc. so I will leave that to other threads. I just want to be able to answer the question "Is it feasible that the Apollo astronauts and their film cameras could have survived the thermal environment on the Moon ?"

K
 Quoting: K Hall


A free ranging thread about Apollo will wander all over the place and never move closer to understanding the thermal environment. There are plenty of other Apollo threads, or why not start one of your own?

IDW, you are writing essays again, why not get to the point or start your own threads with what you want to say. You did say you were done with this thread, it looks like you want to write a book here.

Correct, and i assumed astronauts were slightly above average stature based on their actual weight and height.

Initially under 5'11" then later raised to under 6'. Google tells me A11 crew were 5'11, 5'11 and 5'10

Pretty much the only energy from the batteries that doesn't end up as heat inside the LM is the few watts of power that leaves the LM as radio transmission.


K
 Quoting: K Hall


This is not true. some of the energy is used to create mechanical motion, as with fans and pumps and this represents a fairly large percentage of the electrical energy consumed.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Which is dissipated by friction and ends up as heat inside the LM.

A radio transmitter is about 20% efficient in transmit mode ...snip... several transceivers involved, and their efficiency would average 10%.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

You have to think of it as a system with a boundary. The only energy that can leave that is not through the sublimator or radiated through the skin would be some radio energy, some light through the windows and heat carried by purged cabin air.

But you can't just assume the batteries were completely discharged. It is unlikely they were allowed to drain past 50% capacity because voltage drops off, and dead batteries would be , well, let's just say a bad situation all around.

Again, we are left with a variable that is impossible to pin down exactly, power consumption woudl be variable as would relative efficiency.

If i were you I would assume 50% of the capacity of the batteries was drained and 90% emitted as heat inside the LEM as heat energy, so say 45% of the batteries capacity was heat the LEM had to shed.
The electronics were mostly contained within the same compartment as the astronauts, which has always confused me as to why.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


I agree the batteries would not be completely drained, are you batting for NASA now??? The batteries were specced in terms of usable power, 65kWh for eary LM, 77kWh for the j series. Electronic components sat on cold plates, can't post a picture because of GLP censor. Batteries were on cold rails, both cooled in the cooling loop.

Sorry, back on topic. Did Neil Armstrong wear thermal underwear? Further, did he remove ‘one of truth’s protective layers’ as the hot surface of the moon began to heat up the lunar module?
The fascinating question here is how he removed his underwear while wearing the spacesuit- seems kind of bulky to me for such a delicate task. I wonder if they’re running a nudist colony up there on the moon and the enthusiastic Armstrong was spruiking it. Weird times we live in, folks.

Just from the coolant, the Sun does not shine onto the sublimator , it is inside the LM and vents through the small vent 419 on the diagram.
 Quoting: K Hall

I have not seen your diagram, but I have seen the original blueprints, which I have managed to scarf from where I would rather not say at this "juncture" in our "relationship", let's just say there were people involved who were extremely 'nostalgic" about the parts of the project they worked on.
According to these blueprints and several diagrams I have seen which are on the internet, the LEM did not use a sublimation cooling system, it used a large radiator aft of the exit hatch, which in the blueprint is completely exposed, but in photographs appears to be covered in lightweight materials like cardboard. The sublimation plate could not function if actually inside the LEM itself, it needs to be in a vacuum, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "inside the LEM", but I assure you this cannot be true.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Covered by the outer skin, not inside the pressure cabin, you can see the position in the engineering drawings I posted the link for. The vents are visible at the rear edge of the flat top section of the ascent stage in photographs.

itself as well as the lunar surface. A sublimation system on the lunar surface would be unreliable. You're assuming a 100% efficiency in calculating the amount of heat every gallon of water could remove, which of course is unrealistic.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

We have steam exit temperatures for the sublimator and they look good. Sublimators are much more reliable than you think. A couple of the problems recently on the ISS that were originally though to be sublimators were from, a leaking drinks bottle, coolant loop and once from turning on the circulation pump too soon. The sublimators themselves don't break that easily.

K
 Quoting: K Hall

The problem is the delicate balance. Too cold, and water can't flow through the porous plate, and two hot, it can't freeze and would just vaporize without freezing onto the surface of the porous plate.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

It's a self regulating process. If the sublimator ices up to the extent that restricts water flow into the unit then its ability to remove heat by sublimation drops below the heat being supplied by the cooling loop heating up the whole unit. So ice is removed until the sublimator water flow reaches a level high enough to match the heat supplied from the cooling loop. If the sublimator water doesn't freeze in or on the plate then then the water vapourises when in contact with the plate removing heat at a higher rate then the cooling loop can supply it due to the higher sublimator water flow rate ( no ice to slow the flow ) rapidly cooling the whole unit, this is what happens when the sublimator is first exposed to the vacuum.

Remember the net heat removed from the system is equal to the heat of vapourisation because the water is usually being frozen before sublimation ( but can vapourise directly from water for the same net heat removal ). Do you think the current sublimators as used on the ISS spacesuits don't work?

Please learn how to use the quotes system, its' not hard.

That's why we use them, and add aluminum vapor coating on the back side for added reflectivity. The other "gotcha" in Kirchoff's law, and to the problem in general, is that absorptance and emittance vary by wavelength and often independently by wavelength.
 Quoting: Jay Windley


Here Windley uses two terms THAT DO NOT EXIST, "absorptance" and "emittance". While this may seem to be nit picking, it is generally indicative of ignorance.The proper terms are of course "emissivity" and "absorptivity", and it is highly unlikely a person actually trained in physics or even a physics student of average abilities would make these kinds of errors in nomenclature.

emittance

Thermal emittance or thermal emittivity is the ratio of the radiant emittance of heat of a specific object or surface to that of a standard black body. Emissivity and emittivity are both dimensionless quantities given in the range of 0 to 1, but emissivity refers to a material property (of a homogeneous material), while emittivity refers to specific samples or objects.

I grabbed this response to a person who had posted a thread .. talk about windy, can you trim your posts down to the facts.... I am going to respond to a post he made there, here on this forum and see what happens.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


Kirchhoff's law says basically that an object made of any material, emitting and absorbing electromagnetic radiation at every wavelength in thermal or thermodynamic equilibrium, the ratio of its emissivity power to its coefficient of absorption is equal according to a more or less universal function of a given radiation wavelength and body temperature.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


So you picked up on Kirchoff's thermal law but don't understand it yet?

"For a body of any arbitrary material, emitting and absorbing thermal electromagnetic radiation at every wavelength in thermodynamic equilibrium, the ratio of its emissive power to its dimensionless coefficient of absorption is equal to a universal function only of radiative wavelength and temperature, the perfect black-body emissive power."

Kirchhoff's law states that for any body emitting and absorbing thermal radiation in thermodynamic equilibrium, the emissivity is always equal to the absorptivity.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

You missed the vital part at any given temperature

It's really funny that you still don't get this
Thread: Would the Apollo Moon astronauts have been frozen then cooked like chicken-in-a-bag - One Star Warrior unveiled - page 28 (Page 22)

The emissivity of a surface is equal to its absorptivity for a given temperature. So polished alluminium absorbs and emits thermal radiation with an effective efficiency of 0.03. If you could heat aluminium to 5800 K and keep it in the same solid state it would absorb and emit radiation with an effective efficiency of 0.09. 5800 K is the black body temperature of the Sun and the solar absorptivity of polished aluminium is 0.09. That obeys Kirchoff's law perfectly but there is no requirement in Kirchoff's law for a bodies emissivity at 100 K to be the same as it is at 1000 K. Here is a chart of emissivity varying with temperature for various substances [link to www.tvu.com]

Most notably, the polyamide films on many spacecraft (including the Apollo LM) do not -- they are better radiators than absorbers.
 Quoting: Jay Windley

 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Better at radiating thermal energy than they are at absorbing solar energy.

This is not physically possible and violates the second law of thermodynamics as well as Kirchoffs law of thermal radiation.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

It is not possible for a body in thermal equilibrium to be better at absorbing than emitting energy with the same black body temperature as itself. It can however be better of worse at absorbing energy with a higher black body temperature ( like the Sun's 5800 K temperature ) than it is at absorbing or emitting energy in the range of a few hundred K. Here, again is a table showing some substances that do this.
[link to www.redrok.com]

Yes, absorptivity and emissivity DO vary by wavelength, but this is irrelevant and you cannot have a majic paint which violates the basic premise of Kirchoffs law and the second law of thermodynamics. You CAN reflect visible light while allowing thermal radiation to pass outward , but "everything equals out" because emissivity is as I have repeatedly pointed out is specifically dependent on and precisely equal to absorptivity at thermal equilibrium at any wavelength.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

No for any given wavelength. a100=e100 absorptivity of heat with a 100 K black body peak = emissivity of heat of that body at 100 K for bodies in thermal equilibrium. a1000 = e1000 but a1000 does not have to equal e100.

If you are allowing heat to radiate efficiently, you are allowing it to be absorbed equally efficiently. What this translates into is regardless of what color you paint an object and with what, the effects it has on absorption of heat will have an equal effect on emission of heat.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

No one is arguing with this.

Again, as I pointed out earlier with little success in getting my point across, if you paint an object with paint that reflects visible light, it will also inhibit the radiative process. With aluminum , this is already very poor. What this translates into is high thermal equilibrium temperatures.To put it into the most simplistic of terms possible, a piece of aluminum painted white or silver will get almost equally as hot as piece of bare aluminum, unpolished which is exposed to the same enviroment. The best color to paint something that is expected to get hot by producing excessive heat is of curse black, "no color" emits heat better and this is why high performance exhausts and cylinder heads for air cooled engines are always painted black. What it all boils down to is that if you pain an object with reflective paint, you inhibit emissivity.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

You have learned nothing. How do I get this through, solar absorptivity ( 5800 K peak ) does not have to equal thermal emisivity ( 300 K peak ) that is the whole point of thermal control surfaces.
[link to www.aztechnology.com]
Round and round we go, will you ever learn?

So the question seems to be, can a surface exist that reflects light and allows thermal radiation to pass efficiently? Sure it can. But unfortunately it will also be an equally good absorber of heat. The total energy in is decreased by reflecting the short wavelength spectrum and allowing the long wavelengths to pass efficiently, and this is how thermal control paint actually works.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Oh my God, this is actually correct, is this you saying this or the other guy, Windley? Have you actually got it after all these months??? and to be precise it is the absorption and emission of thermal energy, not transmission

ALL electromagnetic radiation produces thermal energy upon absorption. If an object is around 300k, it can radiate this absorbed energy ONLY as a long wavelength IR, but I assure you the total "in" will be equal to the total "out" in thermal equilibrium,
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Again, wonders never cease!! To clarify for a body in thermal equilibrium i.e. not heating or cooling because of an imbalance in absorbed or emitted energy.

and even in the best possible scenario in a vacuum in unabated sunlight, even a highly reflective object which is made of aluminum will have a high equilibrium temperature. Aluminum itself is a poor emitter or radiator,
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Yes polished aluminium gets hot, it is a selective surface with an a/e ratio of 3, good thermal control surfaces have an a/e ratio of around 0.1

and no matter what color you paint it it's going to get hot. If you doubt this, do some simple experiments. Cut a sheet of aluminum into similar sized squares and paint one flat black, polish another, and paint another white. While the white will be "coolest", it will still reach an uncomfortable temperature at direct angles of incidence. It will surprise you to see the brightly polished and "highly reflective" aluminum gets EXTREMELY HOT compared to the white, and the black will be moderately cooler than the polished.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

And then the dumb returns. AZ tells you in that PDF you need 130 microns of paint, 85% coverage to give the a and e numbers they quote, paint it on anything you like.

You were doing so well for a minute there, never mind.

Aluminum is about the worst choice, and painting it can only accomplish so much.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Quantify this limit, AZ says 130 microns of paint will meet their specs, and 130 microns FEP or polyimide turns aluminium into an effective second surface mirror.
[link to www.sheldahl.com]
Show your numbers to back your claim, otherwise its bullshit!

I am not Windley, talk to him if you want. Second surface mirrors work because the selected transparent plastic absorbs little sunlight allowing it to be reflected off the aluminium substrate and back into space ( aluminium a = 0.09 ) but the plastics ( like kapton ) have a high e ( 0.9+ ) allowing them to radiate thermal energy ( or absorb thermal energy ) very effectively.

Anodized aluminum is actually just a plain aluminum alloy etched with acid. It's not going to have any better effect than polishing it would. Anodizing is simply a way of controlling oxidation while allowing for high visible spectrum reflectivity. Anodized aluminum is not a solution for thermal control in spacecraft, and NASA most certainly did not pioneer the process. IF YOU INCREASE EMISSIVITY, YOU INCREASE ABSORPTIVITY AND VICE VERSA. Don't let this shill con man bamboozle you.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


Totally wrong

polished aluminium a=0.09 e=0.03 a/e ratio 3
chromic acid anodised aluminium a=0.14 e=0.84 a/e ratio 0.17

So anodised aluminium will have a much lower equilibrium temperature in the Sun in the vacuum of space.

The best color to paint something that is expected to get hot by producing excessive heat is of curse black, "no color" emits heat better and this is why high performance exhausts and cylinder heads for air cooled engines are always painted black. What it all boils down to is that if you paint an object with reflective paint, you inhibit emissivity.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


You have learned nothing. How do I get this through, solar absorptivity ( 5800 K peak ) does not have to equal thermal emisivity ( 300 K peak ) that is the whole point of thermal control surfaces.
 Quoting: K Hall

Well, yes it does with a body in equilibrium.

Round and round we go, will you ever learn?
 Quoting: K Hall

I have no problem learning. The question is, will you see the irony in your comments?

So the question seems to be, can a surface exist that reflects light and allows thermal radiation to pass efficiently? Sure it can. But unfortunately it will also be an equally good absorber of heat. The total energy in is decreased by reflecting the short wavelength spectrum and allowing the long wavelengths to pass efficiently, and this is how thermal control paint actually works.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737

Oh my God, this is actually correct, is this you saying this or the other guy, Windley? Have you actually got it after all these months??? and to be precise it is the absorption and emission of thermal energy, not transmission


I am not sure exactly what your point is. We 're not talking about in a specific wavelength, I'm talking about overall. And that's the only important consideration!



ALL electromagnetic radiation produces thermal energy upon absorption. If an object is around 300k, it can radiate this absorbed energy ONLY as a long wavelength IR, but I assure you the total "in" will be equal to the total "out" in thermal equilibrium,
 Quoting: IDW 68887737
Again, wonders never cease!! To clarify for a body in thermal equilibrium i.e. not heating or cooling because of an imbalance in absorbed or emitted energy.
 Quoting: K Hall

Don't be condescending. When push comes to shove,my computations are more accurate than your own. It's not my understanding that is flawed, it's your interpretations of it.

and even in the best possible scenario in a vacuum in unabated sunlight, even a highly reflective object which is made of aluminum will have a high equilibrium temperature. Aluminum itself is a poor emitter or radiator,
 Quoting: IDW 68887737
Yes polished aluminium gets hot, it is a selective surface with an a/e ratio of 3, good thermal control surfaces have an a/e ratio of around 0.1
 Quoting: K Hall

Well, thanks for getting that anyway.

cruise
and no matter what color you paint it it's going to get hot. If you doubt this, do some simple experiments. Cut a sheet of aluminum into similar sized squares and paint one flat black, polish another, and paint another white. While the white will be "coolest", it will still reach an uncomfortable temperature at direct angles of incidence. It will surprise you to see the brightly polished and "highly reflective" aluminum gets EXTREMELY HOT compared to the white, and the black will be moderately cooler than the polished.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737
And then the dumb returns. AZ tells you in that PDF you need 130 microns of paint, 85% coverage to give the a and e numbers they quote, paint it on anything you like.

You were doing so well for a minute there, never mind.
 Quoting: K Hall

There you go again, MAJIK PAINT. You CANNOT ignore the thermodynamic qualities of the object underneath the paint.
This is a fundamental error.

Aluminum is about the worst choice, and painting it can only accomplish so much.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737
Quantify this limit, AZ says 130 microns of paint will meet their specs, and 130 microns FEP or polyimide turns aluminium into an effective second surface mirror.
 Quoting: K Hall

NOT POSSIBLE. The paint does not change the properties of aluminum.



I am not Windley, talk to him if you want. Second surface mirrors work because the selected transparent plastic absorbs little sunlight allowing it to be reflected off the aluminium substrate and back into space
 Quoting: K Hall


No one said you were Windley, but you ARE defending his BS claims. The aluminum under that transparent paint has not altered it's properties because it is painted.
Anodized aluminum is actually just a plain aluminum alloy etched with acid. It's not going to have any better effect than polishing it would. Anodizing is simply a way of controlling oxidation while allowing for high visible spectrum reflectivity. Anodized aluminum is not a solution for thermal control in spacecraft, and NASA most certainly did not pioneer the process. IF YOU INCREASE EMISSIVITY, YOU INCREASE ABSORPTIVITY AND VICE VERSA. Don't let this shill con man bamboozle you.
 Quoting: IDW 68887737


Totally wrong

polished aluminium a=0.09 e=0.03 a/e ratio 3
chromic acid anodised aluminium a=0.14 e=0.84 a/e ratio 0.17

So anodised aluminium will have a much lower equilibrium temperature in the Sun in the vacuum of space.

K


Anodizing aluminum creates an oxide at the surface less than a thousandth of an inch thick that has totally different properties than aluminum, and is of course opaque. Your figures are for this surface, not the aluminum underneath it. There are no majik surfaces. Anodized aluminum WILL have a lower equilibrium temperature, but not a whole lot different, mainly the difference will be in how long it takes to reach equilibrium temperature, very useful for an orbital satellite but useless on an extended exposure.

No one has time for that. I would be interested to know if you think these products [link to www.aztechnology.com] are some sort of scam set up to fool you and now that you have found the Wikipedia page on Kirchoff's thermal law maybe you think this

"Average and overall absorptivity and emissivity data are often given for materials with values which differ from each other. For example, white paint is quoted as having an absorptivity of 0.16, while having an emissivity of 0.93 This is because the absorptivity is averaged with weighting for the solar spectrum, while the emissivity is weighted for the emission of the paint itself at normal ambient temperatures. The white paint will serve as a very good insulator against solar radiation, because it is very reflective of the solar radiation, and although it therefore emits poorly in the solar band, its temperature will be around room temperature, and it will emit whatever radiation it has absorbed in the infrared, where its emission coefficient is high."

Re: Would the Apollo Moon astronauts have been frozen then cooked like chicken-in-a-bag - One Star Warrior unveiled - page 28
this is a bit convoluted and over-wrought, but it helps.

I'm not sure who's correct regarding the science; but i know that NASA faked the moon landing. That aside (and I understand the full irony of such a statement), I’d like to draw your attention to a concept called 'god of the gaps', which i think is applicable equally to the moon landings as it is to theology, where it originates.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]
[link to rationalwiki.org]
I think the GOTGs (god of the gaps) method is flawed- both in religion and in the moon landings. It is a fool's errand to search for gaps in an explanation on which to pitch your tent, before being evicted, only to then move on to the next clearing to pitch your circus tent and reconvene the 'true believers' for more stupidity.

Therefore, as a preliminary- though, in my eyes, mistaken- conclusion what we have is:
1) IDW is a true believer- a god of the gaps adherent, as evidenced by his nit-picking NASA’s explanations and seeking gaps; and,
2) I, personally, think true believers are nut-jobs chasing after fairies in science’s gaps.
3) Therefore, I think IDW is a nutjob.
This is a false conclusion, which I don’t agree with. I’ll try to further clarify it.

1) One man's gap (missing evolutionary fossil) is another man's mysterious abode for god (GOTGs).
2) One man's gap (IDW’s claimed lack of satisfying explanation for thermal dissipation (thus, faked moon landing)) is another man's (K Hall’s) you-didn't-read-the-evidence-properly argument (thus, we did land on the moon).

The problem is that:
1) Whereas in the religion example it is science pitted against religion,
2) in the moon landing example it is science pitted against science- an argument over the science of the moon landing itself.
But, more appropriately, it seems to be ideology pitted against ideology- the politicisation of science, which we see, amply and unfortunately, in climate change denialism. The cold war comes to mind here, where we leave behind science and engage in politics instead, kind of like politics over policy. That seems to be the only explanation for the confusion over what should be straightforward and easily explained scientific phenomena. It is really odd, therefore, that despite the fact that the science of the moon landing should be really easy to settle, no world powers (China, Russia) seem to be interested in taking an independent, objective, open analysis of the moon landings. The USA and allies could not possibly independently undertake such an analysis for obvious reasons.
This was a bit of a digression.

The onus of proof is on:
1) science to prove Darwinian evolution; and,
2) on NASA to prove the mechanics behind the moon landings.
Oddly enough, where, in the religion example, the theist would seek gaps in the consistency, systematicity of Darwinian evolutionary theory- into which to insert their god of the gaps- the sceptic, in the moon landing example, requires more, not less, science of NASA, not seeking to replace NASA’s scientific explanations with fairies (as theists do, by enthusiastically inserting god into gaps). The NASA sceptic requires a filling-in the gaps with robust, rigorous scientific explanation, claiming NASA is failing to do so. In fact, it is the NASA true believers who, IDW’s accusation goes, are inserting fairies into the explanations, just as theists wait with excitement to find spaces for their god of the gaps. What we have, then, is a vying for the throne of science. Does, that is, science legitimate:
1) the NASA claims of a genuine moon landing? Or,
2) the sceptic’s claim of a faked moon landing?
This is quite a different goal to the theist’s desire to, far from court it, dismiss science altogether and replace it with theology.

Basically, the issue here turns on the idea of ‘gaps’. The theist, committed to a GOTGs methodology, claims the gaps are unexplainable, irreconcilable, insurmountable- much to their glee. IDW, the moon landing sceptic, claims, however, that NASA’s science gaps are unexplainable, irreconcilable, insurmountable, too, but he does not seek to replace science for something else- he does not dismiss science as such- he merely dismisses NASA’s claimed moon landing science. IDW is holding a particular scientific claim (moon landing) to account with science itself, whereas the theist is holding science to account with theism.
The odd and confusing issue here, though, is that if you dismiss the science of the moon landing, then you find in favour of a faked moon landing. That is like dismissing Darwinian evolution and finding in favour of religion (god, fairies and angels).
Thus, to come full circle, is IDW seeking fairies and angels? Is IDW a nutjob? No, for as we said above, he is remaining within the orbit of science, but he is attempting to disabuse, disillusion and expose a hoax where others are using science for a false claim: genuine moon landing.
I think this is the pertinent argument here, because a dismissal of the moon landing as a hoax sees one ridiculed, even by people like presidents. So, the culture is one where the moon landing has monopolised science- come to be identified with it, identified with scientific and technical superiority- and if you dismiss the moon landing as a hoax, you must, therefore, the argument goes, by a luddite and stupid- just like backward yokels who dismiss Darwinism and seek god. But this is a critical point where ideology and science are conflated:
1) America’s moon landing; and,
2) The supremacy of science over religion, are
3) Crucially, the identification of the US moon landing with scientific superiority, correctness, truth, and morality.
This last point is the most vital, which brings us to the truth of this whole matter: the cold war. The USA wanted to assert cultural supremacy over the USSR- capitalism lands men on moons, communism doesn’t. Politicians, ideologues lie. Nixon was president during the moon landings, for crying out loud LOL! Are we to trust Watergate landed men on the moon? So, searching for thermal this or that is not really relevant in this geopolitical context. However, ironically, it was the scientific scepticism by people like IDW, which, in the very first place, confirmed for me the hoax, a science which I now do not even require to know what I know, what I always should have known- that it was all cold war fakery. In fact, I am the one who now has become the true believer- at least IDW is keen on the science of it, for I couldn’t give a stuff about the science, I am as committed as the most die-hard Jesus freak of the idea the moon landing was faked ROFLMAO!

So, it is not IDW but NASA who are the fairy-seeking nutjob GOTGs true believers seeking to convert the rest of us to their weird cult.
1) NASA are trying to give us the redemptive cultural illusion to sedate the masses, satiate their nationalistic appetite and build up the spirit of a people for more cannon fodder.
2) IDW is onto the science and can see the technical farce.
3) But where the fuck does this all leave me, the nutjob true believer, having gone beyond science but dismissing god? Up the creek without a paddle, a postmodern nihilist singing Mickey Mouse. One day we’ll long for those faked moon landing days.

If I were an astronaut in the 1970's there is no way I would agree to haul a dune buggy with me.

All that added weight of a stupid dune buggy would increase my odds for failure to such a degree that I would not take. I think most sane men would choose to hoof it once they got there.

If by chance I did make it all the way to the moon, I would have a camera trained on me to throw an object, a large rock I picked up or whatever, as far into the air for the cameras as I could, and watch it spin like crazy in 1/6 g. (that never happened)

I would also try to jump at least three feet in the air, knowing that I could probably get six to ten feet of air if I really tried, even with all that weight on my back. (that never happened)

I would want to prove I was there.

Guess these asstronauts didn't really care about proving anything, but wanted to take a wild ride in a dune buggy up on the moon. It was worth risking your life to tow the silly dune buggy up there and really "burn rubber." (Something any asshole could do in the sands of the Nevada desert)

Yes, I would, to prove a scientific point. What you see on television is not realty. A hair drier dropped into the bath will not shock you. You won't even feel a tingle, and this is because the current doesn't flow through you, it flows through the water. If you were to however grab hold of poorly grounded and insulated object which is not in the water while in the bath, you would be electrocuted, and the degree to which you were would depend on the purity of the water.

Bathtub electrocutions have been reported. Here are two.

[link to www.digitaltrends.com]

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

Found after less than one minute of googling.

Science doesn't always follow intuition. I made the discovery in this case quite accidentally, when I was about ten I dropped a light fixture into a large aquarium accidentally while I had both hands under the water. The lights functioned under water and I didn't feel a thing and neither did the fish.
 Quoting: IDW 68904468


So, because you dropped one kind of electric device into an aquarium and nothing happened, it is safe to drop any kind of electrical device (hairdryer, electric heater, bug zapper, etc.) into a bathtub and be safe?

How like you. People, do not try this at home.

Lighting fixtures can be watertight and waterproof. There are lighting fixtures in swimming pools.

These days, there is a device known as a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) that some appliances carry, and that is included these days in kitchen and bathroom plugs. This device shuts down the power in this case. So bathroom electrocutions occur much less often.

Look at Mythbusters ( [link to www.discovery.com] They do several experiments and concluded that, while not as spectacular in the movies, electrocution can happen this way.

Of course IDW will claim to spot some flaw, like "there was not a live person in the tub, so how can they be sure".

EXPERIMENT:

Connect a conductor so that it is grounded on one end (the ground on a wall outlet will do), and attach the other end to the lead of a multimeter set to measure current. Attach the other lead of the multimeter directly to the pail. If current flows to ground through the water, it will be measured here.

Take a lamp cord and bare the conductors, spreading the strands so as to maximize their area , leaving the plug end intact so it can be plugged in. position the lamp cord conductors in the water at a distance of 3 inches apart (care must be taken to prevent contact with the metal bucket or current will flow directly to ground by passing the water entirely!), in the center of this bucket of water. I say three inches because it is nearly impossible for the neutral and hot circuit in an appliance to be spaced further than this, in reality it will no more than a fraction of an inch in places. Now plug in your lamp cord and take a reading. You will barely get a reading. Now try the same experiment with different materials dissolved in the water.

Although the resistance between hot and ground will be less, so will the resistance between hot and neutral, and again, you'll measure close to zero current flow, no greater than a few milliamps. Now keep in mind that if you were in that bucket of water, only a small percentage of that measurement would flow through your body. You simply cannot receive a detectable shock in this manner.

meaning the police are not sure of exactly what sequence of events happened, not that it is uncertain that electrocution could occur that way.

Connect a conductor so that it is grounded on one end (the ground on a wall outlet will do), and attach the other end to the lead of a multimeter set to measure current. Attach the other lead of the multimeter directly to the pail. If current flows to ground through the water, it will be measured here.

Take a lamp cord and bare the conductors, spreading the strands so as to maximize their area , leaving the plug end intact so it can be plugged in. position the lamp cord conductors in the water at a distance of 3 inches apart (care must be taken to prevent contact with the metal bucket or current will flow directly to ground by passing the water entirely!), in the center of this bucket of water. I say three inches because it is nearly impossible for the neutral and hot circuit in an appliance to be spaced further than this, in reality it will no more than a fraction of an inch in places. Now plug in your lamp cord and take a reading. You will barely get a reading. Now try the same experiment with different materials dissolved in the water.

Although the resistance between hot and ground will be less, so will the resistance between hot and neutral, and again, you'll measure close to zero current flow, no greater than a few milliamps. Now keep in mind that if you were in that bucket of water, only a small percentage of that measurement would flow through your body. You simply cannot receive a detectable shock in this manner.

Wrong - about 100 mA for tap water, if bath additives are added its much higher.

Bathtub electrocutions have been reported. Here are two.

[link to www.digitaltrends.com]

Obviously the woman who plugged in her phone to charge it did not put it in the water to get a good connection {lmao, what happened is, when she went to plug it in OUT OF THE WATER , she got shocked by a cheap chinese product. She was the only path for the current to flow when the phone was out of water.


...


This describes an incident that police have declared is undetermined as to cause, which means they are aware of what I am or have been made so. The natural tendency for a large object like a heater falling in the bath would be to land on the occupants, who were prbbaly also touching each other, again, the path to ground through the pipes and water was ONLY the persons and not the water. You're a tard.

The story says, "she dropped her charging iPhone into the bath with her."

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

Where does this say "an incident that police have declared is undetermined as to cause", IDW?

I see

"Police said they were treating the deaths as 'unexplained' but a source said it appeared they were the result of a terrible accident."

meaning the police are not sure of exactly what sequence of events happened, not that it is uncertain that electrocution could occur that way.

Still messing up the quotes, oh genius?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5063677


I'm not going to argue with a fucktard. Obviously if she dropped the phone in with her she had to pick it up while she was in the water.

The deaths are unexplained in the heater incident because they can't determine how they received a fatal shock. My guess is it was one of two ways, either the heater landed on THEM and not in the water, or it landed in the water and they tried to take it out of he water, which would of course have been caused by television disinformation. If they'd not been brainwashed with ignorance, they;d have known the only danger was removing the appliance from the water while still in it themselves.


Shut the fuck up, tard.

I have - Did you?


The one describing the 41 instances of bathroom related electrocutions is most useful in determining a pattern, IMO.

Out of 41 instances, 31 were suicides and 1 was a homicide. 31 involved a hair drier. Since there are a wide variety of electrical appliances used in bathrooms ranging from shavers and electric toothbrushes to radios and even televisions, the frequency which a hair drier is involved is intriguing, as if it is the high resistance circuit of the heating element somehow exacerbating the problem, or creating a unique electrocution hazard.
 Quoting: IDW 68906351

May be it's the length of the cord? Or the weight of the "electrical appliances"?
The study was made 1995 to 1999. Even back then all electric toothbrushes and most shavers operated at 3 V to 6 V. But the imagination, someone carries a running crt tv to the bathroom is quite amusing.


If people were electrocuted every time an electrical appliance fell in a bathtub, there would be many more deaths than 41 over a period of years.
 Quoting: IDW 68906351

In opposition to the USA almost all buildings in Germany are equipped with RCDs, so this is no surprise.


What seems most interesting to me is that the number of incidents that were suicides, which indicates the likelihood, in fact the necessity that the victim got in the tub and THEN grabbed a hair drier to put in the tub with them.
 Quoting: IDW 68906351

And how does this help you?
Hair dryers have an isolating plastic housing - or do you think, that all suicide victim disassambled their hair dryers to grab the life wire before they stepped into the bathtub?


The 5 fatal electrocutions that involved cables probably involved direct contact between conductors and electrocution victim. So there's 37 of your cases explained by means other than electricity being conducted through water FROM the appliance.
 Quoting: IDW 68906351

Probably? Your assumption?
That would have left electrical burns - can you point to the sentence in the article that states, these five victims had electrical burns?


The actual danger is when the victim makes contact with an electrical appliance while wet and in the tub.(as I have previously pointed out) At this point the ONLY path of current is THROUGH the well grounded victim, who is possibly (at least in some cases) making direct contact with plumbing fixtures that are grounded making the situation worst.

In the case of a person touching an appliance while in the tub, the path of current is pretty much through an arm and thus the heart, which probably stops it causing death.

atal electrocution occurs at that point, IMO, and the person who discovers the body finds the electrical appliance in the tub.

This study was done in Germany, where 230 volt service is standard, double what it is in the US, and what this translates into obviously is that the shock hazard is worst.

I read the Fort Worth article and I couldn't help but notice it seemed suspicious from the beginning, and there were few details. For instance , what parent allows an 8 year old girl to bathe with a 6 year old boy? I'm sure there are some, but doesn't that raise an eyebrow?? What I am saying is this, people BELIEVE a hair dryer in the water would explain dead people in the tub, so perhaps they're setting up the scene, and the victims died some other way.

Another article described children who were PLAYING, not bathing in a bathtub when a heater fell in it with one of them. If the child picked up the heater while in the tub, especially if it was cast iron, this is when the electrocution woudl occur.

It simply does not make sense from a strictly scientific perspective that an appliance falling in a bathtub would itself cause electrocution. Water is not a particularly good conductor, it's the plumbing being grounded causing the problem in this case.
 Quoting: IDW 68906351

The human body is a resistor of 1000 Ohm and 1/4 Watt.

I = U / R
Germany: 230 / 1000 = 0.23 A = 230 mA
USA: 110 / 1000 = 0.11 A = 110 mA
A resistor of 1000 Ohm and 1/4 Watt, applied to 110V/230V and 0.11A/0.23A, will blow in how much seconds?

As shown in the video I linked to, there is a current of 120mA flowing between the hair dryer and ground at 230 V - with 110 V it should be around 55 mA.
Ventricular fibrillation and/or cardiac arrest will occur at a current of 30 mA.

In a grounded bathtub you open another electric circuit from the hair dryer through the water to the ground with a current of 120 mA (55 mA).
Since the human body is a parallel resistor to the water, about 100 mA are flowing through the body even without touching any other grounded object.


If you insist, that nobody can die from a hair dryer in a bathtub, I would like to see you to perform the experiment:
IDW in a tap water filled grounded bathtub with no RCD in place and somebody drops a running hair dryer into the water - live on Youtube.

Don't forget to have some paramedics at hand to pull the fuse and start resuscitation attempts - we would miss you :)

Re: Would the Apollo Moon astronauts have been frozen then cooked like chicken-in-a-bag - One Star Warrior unveiled - page 28
i watched 'capricorn one' last night. the mars lunar lander looked very-much like the one that purportedly went to the moon.

i wanted to ask two questions:

1) why would someone make such a movie? I understand the US cold war foes making such a film, but not friends. was the film made in the US or UK? Why would they make such a film? if the British made it, it was perhaps to blackmail the US; or, if the US made it, it was to get out ahead of the doubters to make the claim that if they had faked it, there is no way they would make a film about faking a landing on another terrestrial body. This point reminds me of the claim about the alien figurine which looks identical to the leaked pictures of the purported real alien.

2) nasa faked the moon landings. capricon one is about a faked mars mission. did the USA have, for some reason, plans to fake a mars landing instead of a moon landing? why would they fake a mars landing- that is, what are the advantages- instead of the moon one, as they actually did? this question is asking if NASA, at any point, considered it more feasible to reach mars than the moon because the moon was perhaps better guarded somehow than mars. this might sound like a ridiculous question- given the closeness of the moon relative to the distance, from earth, of mars- but the saliance in the question derives from the prospect that the moon might be weaponised (think moon bases, booby-trapped) by another species, thus, any prospect of humanity reaching it is a great deal more difficult than reaching mars, which might not be weaponised. so, distance aside, is there something which makes landing on the moon more difficult than mars? i am thinking this because capricorn one faked mars landings, not moon ones. i suppose the import was: one faked moon landing down, now over to a faked mars landing LOL.

BTW, i recommend capricorn one. good film. i especially liked the reporter, who, against all odds, remains alive- not to mention the astronaut.
