wolfy 12 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Silly me. Because they sent the Apollo missions up tied to big fucking whizz bang, of course. They didn't send anything into space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The thing that disproves space travel for me is the fact that rockets cannot work in the vacuum of space. How do you know space is a vacuum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22001 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I find it a bit ironic that all the board's members are between Parky (interplanetary travel a piece of piss) and wolfy (space travel fundamentally impossible) in the conspiracy stakes.

wolfy 12 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 How do you know space is a vacuum? I don't! If it isn't though, then N.A.S.A and the rest have based all their pretend space missions on space being a vacuum, so one way or the other they are lying.

BigWalrus 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 So let's assume space is a vacuum (it is). Why can't a rocket work in a vacuum? It's a pressurised, sealed environment and that pressure wants to escape. When the pressure escapes, the rocket moves. It doesn't make any difference whether it's in a vacuum or not, other than there's less gravitational pull as you get further from the earth.

Park Life 71 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 What is pushing against the rocket? The fuel and rocket mass plus inertia is how it works in space. If someting hits space it carries on moving at the same speed it hit the space threshold at. Infact it speeds up over time....Einstein had trouble with this so I forgive Wolfy.

Christmas Tree 4827 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Its still quite bizarre that in 42 years we've never been back. Of course some will say cost or we've been there done it etc. but I just dont buy that. According to what we are told, the expensive bit is getting something into space. Therefore there is no reason why one of the many shuttles that have been launched couldnt have popped over. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalrus 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It isn't really a vacuum. Well, I know it's not pure vacuum, but for the purposes of this thread it might as well be (has a nice parallel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore there is no reason why one of the many shuttles that have been launched couldnt have popped over. Bizarre. Shuttles were costing 500m$ per launch. Booster, tiles and other bits needed replacing every time (took 6 months at least). Shit design cause the airforce designed the heavy wings the clowns + Govt contracts are always 100x more expensive...etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 No! What is the rocket fuel pushing against to make it move? It pushes against the rocket's body itself, and the easiest path is straight out of the bottom of the rocket. As you're in a vacuum, there's nothing to push back the other way, and you accelerate freely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
