Which brought me to that question in the first place.
Let me say one thing on judgment: Your lack of grammar notes two things, A.) English is not you native tongue B.) You could care less about proper formatting
your emotion clouds your judgment
i notice how you conveniently overlooked my statement about sarcasm
and deep space gravity
as i said
several prominent scientists said that moon travel was impossible right up to when we did it
and now we haven't gone back
and neither has anyone else
with our 1960's tech
what were you saying about innovation or invention or something
i guess that is only reserved for america
USA!USA!USA!USA!
you forgot my best quote by cicero
"those who employ emotion lack the ability to reason"
i would ask you to please stop the ad hominem attacks
they only show your desperation

WHEN you provide your calculations for how much fuel is required, and how much space it would take up, we can compare that to the published figures.
So, I CHALLENGE YOU. DO THAT. Calculate the fuel required for the manoeuvres, and then give us your figures.
IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU ADMIT IGNORANCE and the WORST FORM OF HANDWAVING. Deliberately attempting to mislead the forum. SHAME ON YOU.

Incorrect. What brought you to that question was a desperate attempt to make the undeniable evidence of the physical moon rocks literally disappear.
By performing a bogus calculation, you tried to lead people into the belief that the astronauts were hauling body bags up the ladder into a craft that had no room for them. Shame on you, and shame on you for your condescending tone.
and now you have the nerve to pretend that you "deliberately forgot" to include the LEC as part of a cunning plan to "trick" your opponent? How disingenuous can you get?
The whole point of your argument was that the rock samples were too big, too heavy, the astronauts couldn't get them into the LM, etc. Your argument was totally demolished, and now you have the gall to act condescending and ask me to hunt for a video based on something I myself didn't say? Way to raise the bar, FoosM.
Unfortunately for you, such video exists... but why should I bother to link to it? You will proclaim it "obviously fake" for no reason. You will claim that the lens flares are "studio lights." You will scream that the radio antenna on the PLSS is really a "Peter Pan cable." Admit it, FoosM: you are a terrible loser.

Talking about disingenuous. Should I call you a liar now, or do you want to apologize for your mistake? Because I did not deliberately forget to include information about the LEC due to the fact I posted the following:
The lunar samples were stored inside the ascent stage of the lunar module for the trip back to lunar orbit.
A conveyor system, shown here, was available but the astronauts generally found it easier to carry the rock boxes up the lunar module's ladder

Is that not referring to the LEC?

Oops.
So what is your argument, exactly? I posted a video of the LEC in use. You insulted its quality. Why? It proves that the astronauts could get the samples in the LM. If the astronauts could get the samples in the LM, how does it support your hoax theory? Your post was a complete waste of space.edit on 17-10-2010 by DJW001 because: Formatting

So what was the point of your lengthy post? Please summarize in a few words.
What!? Are you serious??
What sort of distraction is this?
You have just made several responses to my post and are now asking for a summary?
Obviously you must have read my post and understood what my issues were if you could write responses to it.
I also, in my post, make short summaries and observations of the information that I am providing.
So now where is this video?

Either way its rather difficult for me to get anything you say with a rambling of wording incoherently together to be deduced from intelligence or as you say below:
i notice how you conveniently overlooked my statement about sarcasm

I am not attacking you, the truth remains, no sentence structure at all and we here are suppose to take you seriously about the things you claim? Or to know your being sarcastic? Please explain to me how that is possible from the what you posted, ohh btw is isn't. There are rules to life, yet you seem destined to do away with them away. No wonder it is extremely difficult to understand what you say, when you have disregard for format.
as i said

Again I wasn't attacking you, if you take a minute to see that you haven't in the least formulated a single sentence, you might understand the fact that, YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE!
I'll tell you what; if you want to actually have a decent conversation, and have someone answer your questions, start by using a sentence, not a bunch of words throw about the page in non-sense.
Again this is not an attack, you must follow some sort of structure on earth or no one will take you seriously. how can they, if you don't make sense?
The truth is the truth.
Now again if you want to have answers about Apollo actually ask questions, the right way.
Other wise good luck in life, good day you answers are in the thread that is 4500 posts long.....Because I am not going to weed through gibberish for no reason.
the amount of fuel needed was not known and is still not known
much of the original "intel" from NASA has either been lost
or misplaced
But from 1952 to 1954, von Braun (and others including science fiction author Willy Ley, with illustrations by science fiction cover artist Chesley Bonestell), laid out a plan for how human beings could explore and eventually colonize outer space, in a series of articles in Collier's Weekly magazine entitled "Man Will Conquer Space Soon!" As with everything von Braun did, the math and the engineering are impeccable. You see, there's a basic problem with the physics of long-distance rocket travel. To go higher, farther, or faster you need more fuel. Which adds more weight. To lift more weight, you need more fuel. Which adds more weight, ad infinitum. To get to the Moon in a hurry, we used an expensive, fragile, and impractical solution: increasingly smaller disposable rocket "stages." Just to get to orbit we used three disposable stages. Then a fourth stage was used to boost the combined lander/return vehicle to the moon. Then yet another disposable stage was used to land on the Moon. Then one more disposable stage, the size of a handicapped bathroom stall, was used to lift off from the moon; as soon as it reached lunar orbit, it was thrown away. Then the Earth-orbit-to-lunar-orbit rocket used the last of its fuel for the return trip to Earth orbit and then it, too was thrown away. Finally a tiny little bitty re-entry capsule, just big enough for the three guys to lie down in and to hold its own parachutes, was the only part of the space ship to return to Earth. Why so many disposable parts? Because it lets you throw away empty fuel tanks, and even though those fuel tanks were built of the lightest, thinnest, most expensive metal alloys available, every tiny little bit of weight saved was essential.
EVERYTHING that you just wrote was argument ad hominem
I do not use correct syntax because my period and comma became disable 3 day ago
on my keyboard
Your childish attacks only prove your lack of empirical evidence to refute me
I understand research
or at least the school that gave me a graduate job to work on my research degree understands
research
Anyone with eyes can see that everyone attacking me so prominently
And with such emotion is doing so
Because I hit nerve
