How did the Apollo Spacecraft and Lunar module survive the radical temperature changes of -130 C to 120 C? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79128431  United States04/11/2022 10:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How did the Apollo Spacecraft and Lunar module survive the radical temperature changes of -130 C to 120 C? I'm well aware that it's not heat that damages many electronics and components in general, it's the shift of temperature from one extreme to the other that damages them. If you keep your PC on 24/7 it will last longer than if you turned it on and off every day. Can someone give a thorough explanation of how the engineers designed the Apollo crafts to withstand such radical temperature changes? According to this link, the temperature range from night to day is from -130 C to 120 C. [link to www.space.com (secure)] That is an astronomically huge temperature range and I really cannot fathom creating such complex machines to function reliably under such conditions. Especially when the lunar module looks like it was built out of cardboard and tin foil. Before you shills try to answer, please think about how hot 120 C is... it's considerably hotter than the boiling point. Did the astronauts have their AC on full blast when the sun was shining on them? Can't imagine how they weren't cooked alive like a pressure cooker.  |

They didn't. Only idiots and stupid people believe the Apollo missions put humans on the Moon. No nation has put humans on the Moon, and most haven't even successfully done a remote un-manned landing and return. America was so far behind Russian technology of the time, that you'd have to be a low IQ Hollywood believing retard to think it was even possible for the USA to catch up, let alone overtake and then land on the Moon. America is a nation of fat stupid people, that the entire planet DESPISES - because of what you do overseas. |

Look how the Space Shuttle burned up on re-entry over Texas in the early 2000s because a few tiles were compromised. Then we're supposed to believe that the aluminum foil covered thing survived the same re-entry. I don't buy any of their story. |

So you're saying the space.com article I posted is lying about the radical temperature changes? Or what? How can the moon have such radical temperature changes, if according to you, there's nothing to "conduct the heat". Magic? |

Space is a vacuum, heat isn’t exchanged by particles anymore I don’t think they were even there long enough for a day/night cycle to occur either, it’s not 24hrs like on earth |

I posed the same question to Buzz Aldrin when I was a kid , allegedly he was on the moon when the two week night and day thing happened,how the glass and his body took the strain he went quiet in a filled room stared at the floor for a age then walked out. I am not a little lad anymore and have worked in environments that are hot and used many types of breathing apparatus I have been in places white meat cooks at and it was no picnic . Glass cannot be in two states at one time one side cannot be hot the other cold due ton the way molecules act . NASA will do anything to avoid this question and how quickly it changes temperature on the moon . It moves at hundreds of miles per hour ,NASA says this is your eyes ,mass hypnosis , defective equipment etc but laser equipment can very the temperature change . Not to mention how much humans sweat which dogs up things ,plus airfed masks make a lot of noise . Simple little things really |

Orbiting the moon means it would constantly shift from being behind the moons shadow (cold) to being in front of the moon in the suns light (hot). Also, if "heat isn't exchanged by particles" then how did the sunny side of the moon get hot to begin with? How can the surface get hot if there's a vacuum between the moon and the sun? "I don’t think they were even there long enough for a day/night cycle to occur either, it’s not 24hrs like on earth" LOL you don't know fucking shit about the mission, why are you even talking?

You were talking when they were landed, in orbit of course they wouldn’t feel the surface temperature.. they were 60 miles away Thinking of day and night as you are is incorrect. The sunny side is heated directly by the suns radiation, not by atmosphere. If you do not understand such basic concepts I am afraid we have nothing to discuss |

You are a worthless parasite. Your clarification is worthless. Again, how can the moon get so hot from "the suns radiation", yet the Apollo spacecraft not get any of the suns radiation? You claim that it's because it's not touching the moons surface? So the sun magical radiation that somehow only heats up the moon, but not spacecrafts? ROFL you fucking worthless tard. |
