"Michael Petukhov" wrote in message om... "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... "Michael Petukhov" wrote in message om... Sure. I am refering to dust clouds clearly visible in NASA official Apollo 16 video under the title "Astronaut drives Lunar Rover" which can be found at: There are no dust clouds in this video. The dust is thrown off the rear wheel and immediately falls back to the ground with no plume of dust hanging suspended as happens when you drive in desert areas on earth. Ok Keith your visibility clearly does not allow you to see this air effects in Moon, as well as to all NASA defenders. The limit in this case is that of the video clip involved and I have seen this before at a higher definition. As for me "clouds" of very fine particles of dust hanging suspended in the air and as well as "clouds" of more heavy particles concetrated in areas where they lost horizontal speed (due to air resitence) and fall down almost vertical, I see no clouds of dust suspended. On a surface like that on any of the sand/dust deserts I have travelled you can see the dust track for miles behind a vehicle. are all pretty visible to me. Let's see maybe others have a bit better visibility, than you have.

The clip you refer to, which I have also seen in higher resolution, to me just shows clouds of moon dust being thrown up and then falling straight back down again, as you would expect it to in a vacuum. If you have ever driven in dusty conditions on earth as I have you will be aware of how long the dust hangs in the air. John |

Which was my point. By trying to do too much (ie reusable components) and then not funding it properly, the USA has achieved less than they ought to have. By using conservative technology, the Russians have achieved more reliability. Apart, as I agreed already, from the N1. The notable exception was the N1 rocket designed for the Soviet moon program. Hideously over-complex design. It just *looks* wrong. Maybe the Russians didn't get enough Nazi rocket scientists! John |

Michael Keith Keith may have visibility and so do you But you need to have the organ connected to your vision hardware replaced or refurbished. |

Let's see maybe others have a bit better visibility, than you have. Michael Keith In which direction to you expect the dust to be thrown? While not quite absolutely vertical, there is very little horizontal component to the velocity of dust lifted off the ground by tires unless they are slipping. On earth, most of the horizontal velocity of dust is provided by the disturbed *air* around the moving vehicle. Therefore, your description of what you believe to be the results of air resistance are in fact more evidence of its absence. If there was enough air pressure to change the direction of the dust, it would billow out, as you see behind (for instance) a vehicle on a dirt road. Mike Mike |

"No Spam!" wrote in message ...
John - You're missing the point. The problem with Michael and all the other crypto-conspiracists is nothing they present is subject to being falsifiable; they don't use the rules of scientific evidence and logic. They are right. Everyone else is wrong. If you try and demonstrate they are wrong by bringing up "falsifiable", they will either ignore your facts and evidence, claim it's not true, or claim you're part of the cover-up. They're not working on a logical level, and nothing you can ever so or do will convince them otherwise. If you want proof, just ask Michael (or any other person of his type) exactly what evidence, if presented, they would accept as proof they were wrong. See what response you get. And even if on the off chance they do provide such a list, and you demonstrate anything on the list to them, they will then recant and find a reason to not accept that, either. Just view it as the Internet equivalent of tilting at windmills. A Reformed Tilter No, I understand and agree completely. Nevertheless, I think the argument must occasionally be fought. Not to convince the hoaxer, but to expose lurkers to the counter arguments. I know there are many hoax debunk web sites which can serve this purpose; however, in my experience, they tend to argue directly against the "evidence" provided by the hoax proponents. My observation is that the indirect evidence (political environment, technical capability, etc.) did not permit an hoax to be performed. So, every once in a while I'll address one of these posters to see if they have anything new, identify counter arguments for the lurkers and to use the opportunity to sharpen my admittedly scholarship. |

Ok Keith your visibility clearly does not allow you to see this air effects in Moon, as well as to all NASA defenders. The limit in this case is that of the video clip involved and I have seen this before at a higher definition. So do I. I have bought high definition video tape in when visiting US. As for me "clouds" of very fine particles of dust hanging suspended in the air and as well as "clouds" of more heavy particles concetrated in areas where they lost horizontal speed (due to air resitence) and fall down almost vertical, I see no clouds of dust suspended. On a surface like that on any of the sand/dust deserts I have travelled you can see the dust track for miles behind a vehicle. Never mind. If you do not perhaps indeed you cannot. BTW I have found and read the Mishin book "Why we did not went to the Moon", 1990. Not a bad title... Funny reading to say mild. Imagine lots of talks about advatage of H1 design compare to Saturn V and not a word about LM design and testing, not a word about radiation and protection against it as it never existed. Of course he is true beliver that NASA did went to the moon. Among interesting things he said that by end of 1970 project UR500K(proton)/L1 (known as Zonds 4-8 for public) was successfuly 4 times tested and were 100% ready for a manned mission (if you do not know it was about the circling Moon and return), but "high authorities" closed the program out of hands without any explantions. By the same decision his OKB1 was given an order to start urgent program of a space station for LEO. Moreover he, the cheaf designer and the official Korolev successor said that "the goverment decision was not clear for me then and it is not clear for me now". That's about all useful info on "Why we did not went to the Moon" we can extract from this otherwise nice booklet. I have got 100% impression from his book he never even heard these words, "the space radiation hazard". Not sure about astranauts but russian cosmonauts seem were completely immuned of this. Michael are all pretty visible to me. Let's see maybe others have a bit better visibility, than you have.
