You mean the astronauts were laying flat? The capsule was suspended at an angle to cut into the water and reduce deceleration.

Question from the peanut gallery: Would a one parachute landing have been survivable? Splashing down with one chute would have been twice as hard as Apollo 15's splashing down with 2 chutes. Considering no one was hurt I doubt a one chute landing wouldn't be fatal. The couches were designed to protect the crew during an abort where they could possibly land on solid earth. The third chute was a back-up in case one chute failed.

Adjusting the known free fall velocity at 7300 meters for sea level I get 91.6 m/s. Close enough for government work.
Hey, someone should make a poster like that. One of the famous photos of Aldrin or Irwin or Young on the Moon with the caption "Close enough for government work." We could sell it to civil servants and make a fortune.
Edit: Oops. I used the wrong scale height. It should be 91.6, not 95 m/s.

Oswald said during and after arrest: "I protest this police brutality" twice. "I emphatically deny these charges."
C'mon? What innocent patsy is going to say that?
He was in police custody for almost 2 days. If he knew he was being framed and by who, which some conspiracy authors claim, he would have been singing like a canary.
Ruby would have showed up too late to shoot Oswald if Oswald hadn't asked to change his sweater.
"Ruby killing Oswald had all the signs of a Mob hit." Really? Name one Mob hit that has been done inside a police station in front of 20 cops and 50 photographers, cameramen, reporters, and journalists. What mobster, when told to go kill a man in a situation like that, wouldn't have driven straight to the FBI and told them everything he knew?

It's sort of like the conspiracists about 9/11 try arguing that parts of the wreckage are from different aircraft types than the ones that actually impacted. Really - any Evil Geniuses who can pull off these incredibly complex conspiracies cannot think, "Hmm, I want to plant evidence. I really should order myself the right parts for the job."? Apparently, in conspiracy world, the perps drop a Mauser, then find out, "Hey, Oswald had a Carcano!" Is this not something that any sensible conspirator would have checked in advance? ;D And along with the planted 7.65 mm rifle they plant 6.5 mm shell casings???

To be fair pointing out someone's spelling mistakes or sloggy grammar on an internet forum is thought of to be poor form. Except when an illiterate innumerate who can't think for himself is trying to garnish his nonsense with scientific sounding words he can't spell to crap on the accomplishments and sacrifices of 400,000 people then it's fair game.

Thank you, Professor Science. Instead of posting a worthless tabulation of what you now know to be the correct word you could have exhibited some intellectual courage and simply said you didn't know how to spell "perigee" and you were too lazy to Google it. This is a science forum. Spelling counts.

As You Can See The 2 Second Delay At 2.35 - 2.37 Is Impossible...!!! That time delay is between the astronauts talking/Nixon listening and then Nixon replying. Since the recording was recorded on Earth the only time the time delay is applicable is when Nixon talks and the astronauts reply, not the other way around. Stop regurgitating the crap you read on conspiracy websites and start questioning the conspiracy nuts. They have led you to believe something that with a little independent thought on your part could have prevented you from making this ridiculously embarrassing mistake.

Soon the argument will be the gubmint had the super-duper high tech stuff. In the Navy we were stuck with the AN/PSN-11 portable GPS receiver (we pronounced it Pissin' Eleven but not out of a sense of humor) while all the civilian ships were using Garmins.

chew you are right, but useless. surftofind.com/fbi"The one-page xerox is a composite of 2 different documents. At the top is a half-page undated FBI note STAPLED TO THE TOP OF A FULL PAGE UNDERNEATH. Only the bottom half of the full sheet is seen. The note, on the letterhead of the Office of the Director, is signed by LS. It does have an illegible zip code. The HUAC document and its FBI cover sheet is very genuine and very typical. Jack Ruby was an informant for Nixon circa 1947." why not stop playing these idiot games Sure, as soon as you stop posting idiotic documents. Even the whackiest JFK assassination buffs say it is a hoax.

FBI document says Ruby WORKED for Nixon in 1947 jfkmurdersolved.com/nixonruby.htm"This FBI-document of 1947 recommends that "one Jack Rubenstein of Chicago" should not be called to testify for the Committee on Unamerican Activities, for he is working for Congressman Richard M. Nixon. According to the Warren Commission, Ruby had no connections with Oswald, Organized Crime or the Government. No wonder the header reads "This is sensitive". playdor, your gullibility continues to amaze me. ZIP Codes were not invented until 1963! This is just another fake document manufactured by the conspiracy nuts and you fell for it.

How much brighter are the stars and planets from space, without being diminished by atmosphere? 30% for stars directly overhead. The closer to the horizon the greater the distance the light has to travel through the atmosphere. The light from a star 10° above the horizon is about 1/6th as bright as it would be if directly overhead.

my point is that in my opinion the 1122D film was fabricated but the evidence to prove that it is realistic is based on information from books? That the 1122D film is exactly as described in books? Yes! It can be found in any physics textbook.
