Or, according to some, two regular posters here. ;D i remember telling Jay about the 'The Smoking Gun of Bart's "Smoking Gun" Footage' .that i saw on the JREF forum before i signed up here.. not knowing that it was already a sticky here. Still a nice piece of work ;D

I was checking out some old threads that were started before I joined here and came across this link: seaofcrisis.com/ext/babb/moonman.htmI had read moonmans posts before, but to have some of his quotes compiled like this is hilarious. You really do wonder if it is worth arguing... gold! ;D

The relevance, is that I'd like to compare the level of proof you have accepted for extraterrestrial space craft with the level of proof you demand for Apollo. ^^ very interesting point there, will remember that one for future reference ;D

actually a physics board i went to recently has pretty well much banned Apollo hoax & 9/11 discussions - probably because it's been discussed ad nauseam

*groans* How about he takes it elsewhere to a 'real science board' (that is not an Apollo debunk site), and lets see how far he gets?

ah well, i was sort of on-track (in a non-technical way) ;D
i'll be interested to see how that discussion progresses!

Um, wait. That's referring to Mike - that is, Mike Collins, in the CM. I don't see a stir being done in the LM. So that's not it. ah yep, my mistake, sorry about that But the point of the cryo-stir (in my understanding) is to help give accurate measurements of the oxygen readings. If the LM had no cryo-stir, then how can we be certain of the accuracy? And if we are somehow confident of the readings of the LM, then why do they need to do cryo-stirs on the CM? At this point (return to orbit) during I'm not sure how long the LM would have been at zero Gs, but it's a point worth looking into. Another thing looking into, is that the Astronauts' oxygen rate was increased substantially during the EVA's - when they were resting in the LM, would this affect the readings enough to cause the aforementioned discrepancy?

i'm only a layman with this stuff, but i noticed that there was a cryo-stir at 122:01:26 - would this have any effects on the readings? (2 hours later?)
[Mike will activate small fans in the tanks to stir the contents. According to Gerry Griffin, as the tanks emptied in zero-g, the contents tended toward a "slush", a mixture of liquid oxygen (or hydrogen, depending on the tank in question) and gas. With the content in the slush state, Houston could not be sure of uniform flow out of the tank or of accurate measurements of the amount of oxygen remaining. By stirring the contents with a fan, they homogenized the mixture and got both more uniform flow and better gauge readings.]
i'll quietly disappear if i've made a fool of myself lol

It's almost freaky how much the person Jason was discussing sounds the same like the person alex04 was discussing. Brings up the feather, gets debunked, stops posting. It's a conspiracy!!11 just noticed these comments on another vid i hadn't seen before - izeman458 (2 weeks ago) Combustion does require oxygen but melting and warping do not require anything except heat. Oh, and obviously the lower the pressure...the better. (Reply) (Spam) izeman458 (2 weeks ago) The boiling point of water in zero atmospheric pressure is uhmm...pretty close to zero I think, yep. So as soon as the feather sees zero pressure the moisture in it should go POP! Then we got the organic protein molecules in the feather too...heh damn, same guy. Hrmm he actually theorized that the feather would pop!?! Bert, I'm guessing it is indeed the same guy !

The reason I baked a feather was because some months ago we had someone here who wanted to know what happened to the feather on the Apollo 15 mission when it hit the lunar surface. So I baked one and reported my findings. He ignored them, but did stop posting.... good info - that was the next thing the guy (that i was talking to) wanted to know, although he's not posting anymore ;D

Thanks for an interesting thread Alex04 -( May I call you Alex- or would 04 be more polite?- I am unaware of your species and preferred atmosphere) 1 (sorry- too much Niven tonight... (Oh and the rum.. why is the rum always gone...? Yar! Roll on Sept 19!)) hahaha, Alex is fine, and i was actually paranoid that it wouldn't be considered an interesting topic (unless my sarcasm detector is broken! ;D) It's pretty cool nowadays though, how easy it is to contact experts in their field - and it's great how willing they are to help/answer questions etc. Big props to avs.org! ;D

do you know if there was there any visible 'out-gassing' observed?

I think the easiest way to determine what happens when a feather is dropped on the surface of the moon is to watch the Apollo video. i agree totally! Unfortunately he didn't, and i was being denounced as a Pro-NASA idiot that 'reads off NASA flash cards' The point of the whole exercise, was just to try and get him to understand that - what may be an apparent oddity, can be explained with further research - without jumping to the conclusion that it's a conspiracy.

IIRC, the temperature of the lunar surface (as recorded by the heat flow experiment) at the time of the hammer & feather demonstration was ~140 F. I've walked barefoot on beach sand hotter than that. I'm sorry Count Zero, that's NASA supplied information, and is therefore fabricated information! j/k, thanks, good info. I'll try and find the source info for this.
