To re-cap...the hypergolic engines do not work in an atmosphere. AND, even if they could,
there is no way for the LM to carry enough fuel,
as it was designed, to operate within the Earth's gravity well, cosidering how much 'deeper' it is than the Moon's!!!

No, Kubrick has nothing to do with my reasoning.
My reasoning is that NASA swaggerers had to test LM on the earth before sending it on the moon.
LLRVs and LLTVs have nothing to do with LM in the shape, in the structure, in the engine, in the distribution of masses.
Why didn't NASA swaggerers test LM on the earth? Because they were not able to build a rocket that could land vertical going backwards.
This is the truth and you are understanding that I am right.

Further repeating of this endless cycle of explanations that you do not accept must end. Therefore, unless an ORIGINAL, never before asked question, or evidence is brought out, this thread will be closed, and the matter settled.

But it is not in the best interests of this community to keep going over the same ground endlessly for your amusement. And my ultimate decision has to be with what is best for the community.

However IT DOESN'T MATTER if Apollo 10 touched the surface or not because the LEM would respond EXACTLY THE SAME WAY whether they were 13 km above the surface or 3 meters above the surface.

The lunar module continued its crazy gyrations across the lunar sky, and a warning light indicated that the inertial measuring unit really was about to reach its limits and go into gimbal lock. Stafford then took over in manual control, made a big pitch maneuver, and started working the attitude control switches. Snoopy finally calmed down.
