I found this source. IT PROVES THE MOON LANDING WAS FAKE. Make sure to watch all of it.   See 84 other replies

Jason, seriously, stop now. You know absolutely nothing about physics. Yes, there is no air resistance, but escaping Earth's gravity well still requires tremendous force. Did you not at least take physics in high school?Force = mass * acceleration. (F=ma) is one of the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics.
This can also be rewritten as (a = F/m).What this means is that to reach a given acceleration, the more mass you're pushing, the more Force you need. It does not matter that there is no air resistance in space. Heck, even if there were no gravity, you'd still need a tremendous amount of force just to move a large object at rest.You can illustrate this with, for example, a 100lb guy and a 250lb guy on skates. When they push off one another, the smaller guy is going to move faster and further, because it takes less energy to move his total mass. By contrast, the larger guy won't move much at all, because it takes more force to accelerate him to the same speed. On a side note, you're an obvious troll. Why? Because first you say "It'd be easy for the shuttle to glide to the moon" and then IN THE VERY NEXT LINE you say "you're proving my point, they never made it to the moon."
So getting to the moon is easy, but they never made it because it's not? You can't have it both ways. Either you're right (and I assure you, you're not) or I am. If I'm right, then that doesn't disprove the moon landing, because, as I've stated time and time again, the Saturn V was the most powerful rocket ever launched in the history of mankind. Just because the Shuttle can't make it, doesn't mean the Saturn V can't. And just because the Saturn V can, doesn't mean the shuttle can.As I tried to explain before, you're saying the equivalent of this:
"If you can fly a 747 across the Atlantic then you can fly a hang-glider across the Atlantic. And if you can't fly a hang-glider across the Atlantic, then that means no 747 has ever crossed the Atlantic."   See 84 other replies

There is resistance in space. Its called gravity. Its the reason why circle the sun, and the moon circles us. You have to reach what is called escape velocity in order to break that bond. The shuttle can't do that because it wasn't designed to. You would need a Saturn 5 rocket to reach the escape velocity, and those are really expensive. It is cheaper to send unmanned satalites and robots to do those things because they require far less mass, and therefore less fuel to reach that velocity. When we slingshot around things in space we use the object own gravity to speed our satalites up in order to reach the escape velocity. We can't do that on earth because we are trying to leave earths orbit first. There is not enough space to pick up speed without actually entering the atmosphere and burning up first. If we launched a rocket from mars to the earth we could use the earth gravity to do that but not Mars's. The place of origin must have a different source of energy to reach that escape velocity.   See 84 other replies

Listen dude, there is no resistance in the vacuum of space so gliding to the moon would be easy once you got slingshot out of the Earth's orbit, by use of centrifigal force and the use of an escape velocity burn..You are proving my point completely. They never made it to the moon.   See 84 other replies

Again, you don't get it. The Shuttle is completely incapable of reaching the moon. Lift off consumes nearly all of its fuel, and carrying more fuel would just mean you'd need to lift more off the ground. The Shuttle's designed as a glider for reentry, and pretty much only uses its main engines to make a short control burn to reduce its speed just before reentry. The rest is a quite literally a glider and nothing else. This isn't about having "the balls to try it," this is about trying to use a vehicle which is utterly incapable of the task you want. Do you have any idea how much thrust you need to make it out of low earth orbit via slingshot? You do realize that the Shuttle, once in orbit, has no stages right? Which means it'd need enough thrust to push its entire mass multiple times around the earth to pull off a slingshot maneuver. Its cargo hold simple does not have the capacity for that much fuel, and the shuttle's boosters aren't powerful enough for the task, simple as that. There's a reason Apollo was multi-stage. By jettisoning stages, they reduced the mass they had to push, and by proxy, the fuel they'd need to take with them. And since fuel is subject to the law of diminishing returns, the more you take with you, the more fuel you need to haul it. Like I said, it's quite literally trying to cross the Atlantic on a hang-glider. You can drop the thing from the top of the atmosphere and still aren't likely to make it there, let alone back. Just because the Shuttle can reach low Earth orbit does NOT mean it's capable of going further. The Shuttle is still a tremendous mass to try to push out of the Earth's gravity well and is utterly ill-equipped to do so in almost every conceivable way.   See 84 other replies
