  1. The burn pushes against the mass of the tank of fuel.
  2. CT only sees a big bit of cheese through his....
  3. The mass of the fuel itself is the counterforce if you read what I posted above. Need to up your game on this one bro.. You've come in half prepared...
  4. They don't Wolfy. They (I) dispute that men have walked on the moon from the Apollo missions back in the day.
  5. The near vacuum of space is actually an excellent medium for propulsion as it makes any momentum nearly 99% efficent.
  6. The truth is that the rocket does have something to push against: namely, its own fuel. Let's illustrate with an example you kids can try at home. First, you need to get yourself into some sort of frictionless situation. Wearing ice skates on a slippery ice rink would be good, or maybe your office has a chair that rolls really well on a hard surface. Next, you'll need a medicine ball. You are the rocket and the medicine ball is your fuel. Toss the medicine ball. You'll notice that as you shove the medicine ball forwards, you yourself lurch backwards. Ta-da, the miracle of physics! (If you think this is because the medicine ball pushed on the air, then try the experiment without the medicine ball--just push on the air with your hands, see how far you lurch backwards.) Newton's Third Law is usually expressed as, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," and you can also think of it as "Forces always come in pairs." While you are pushing on the medicine ball, Newton's Third Law says that the medicine ball is also pushing on you. Thus, you are accelerated by the force acting (backward) on you by the medicine ball. Never mind that it was you who decided to start the pushing in the first place; you can't push on the ball without having the ball push back. Forces always come in pairs. Of course, rockets work on more sophisticated principles than just tossing fuel out the back. First, the fuel is burned and its hot exhaust gases are expelled at very high velocity (if you toss the medicine ball faster, your body experiences greater backward force). And the rocket's exhaust nozzle has a narrowing so as to squirt the exhaust gasses out even faster, like putting your thumb over the end of a garden hose. Exhaust from chemical propulsion (i.e., fuel-burning propulsion) is typically expelled at 2 km/s (= 4500 mph), and your average rocket mass at launch is 80-85% propellant (fuel + oxidizer), most of which eventually gets squirted out. " Sorry Wolfy... But.....There have been NO MEN ON THE MOON from any Nasa mission.
  7. http://www.space.com...photos-lro.html Could be faked I guess.
  8. @ewerk Cause the unmanned missions are legit.
  9. This is the monster doc on it...........
  10. With AvB there is a good manager in there somewhere, but it takes times to adjust to the PL. Many highly rated managers have failed in this league or taken time to work it out. He was basically fucked over at Chelsea and he might have arrived at Spurs at the wrong time. Spurs 6th.
  11. What wolfy is going on about is all here.. http://www.atlanteanconspiracy.com/2011/11/earth-is-not-moving.html

    Leazes Mag

    For the record the mods have persevered for a good amount of time on Leazes, that is patently obvious. I spring to his defence cause it's the way I am and is no reflection on moderation.
  13. If we don't get Debuchy. Play Santon at RB behind Hatem would be pretty scary for most PL opposition.
  14. I'd rather have the new Holland left back Willems who although looked out of his depth in that Euro game, looks like he has bags of talent. Only 18.
  15. This has got that end of window look about it.

    It was funny seeing Renton close to tears.

    They'd be dangerous but Fish is the only trojan horse they have the clowns.

    They're gonna pick on you now.

    You've got HItler in your av. I see it all clearly now.

    The ole Renton bait and switch... He comes in says Wolfy is mental and asks his employment status and gets all up close and personal on the poor fucker and Leazes gets banned.
  21. Was just about to post about how sharp and effortless Marveux looked.
