Interesting information there Decisively,however,it still does not (to me anyway) provide the "smoking gun",personally,the one aspect of the 13 mission that I found odd was the lack of television coverage of that particular mission,I can't believe that the public were so "used to moon shots" that 13 was just another routine bore fest!
All bull. Fasten your seat belt, you are in for the ride of your life.
posting references, why not look at the Cortright Commission documents yourself, including the scientific appendix on the experiments they purportedly ran in support of their conclusions ? Can you find any experimental support for their claim about aluminum ? What kind it was ? HOW MUCH ALUMINUM BURNED AND WHY THIS MUCH ? WAS IT HOT ENOUGH TO IGNITE ALUMINUM IN THAT TANK ? WHY/HOW DID THEY DRAW SUCH A CONCLUSION.
the full commission report is available here
the report does NOT say that 1.1lbs of Teflon burned.
It says that 1.1lbs of Teflon was available as fuel as part of the O2 tank (Table 4.1 Materials Available within Oxygen tank), along with .8 lbs Al, 2.2 lbs stainless steel, and 1.7 lbs inconel alloys.
A detailed list of the makeup of every component inside the tank (motors, fans, sensors) etc is given in Appendix D, pages 49-58.
so the amount of aluminium is given, as is its location. However it was not necessary for it to burn in order to cause the rupture - the amount of teflon there was perfectly adequate to cause that - on page 4.38 it says that this amount of teflon was "more than sufficient" to acount for the recorded temperature and pressure changes, and that the time frame for them (relatively slow increases taking over 1 minute) weer consistent with the burning of teflon.
Appendix F is "Special tests and analysis" and includes analysis of the energy requirements for ignition and combustion of teflon, and a master list of all tests and analysis performed.
Wherever you got the idea that 1.1 lbs of teflon represents some sort of mystery is unknown - but that source is just plain wrong.

Does your team have the current capacity to summarize the Kranz/EECOM narrative in a 3-5 minute youtube video?
His team seems to have lost his internet privileges. Finish up your homework so you can come out and play, Teddy!
I am otherwise occupied this week as you'll hear soon enough SayonaraJupiter. Think Omaha, think swimming, and you shall "find me".
plus.google.com...
I am on "assignment" of another sort, a non-Apollonian sort, for this week. Here in Omaha with old friends, and making new ones. Though some may find it surprising, my passion for swimming is not altogether un-Apollo-related, as I shall share with the group here over the next few weeks, perhaps months.
For openers, we have no need for pretend heroes that make up pretend stories about things they did not do. Why ? Well, because when we have Becca Mann swimming "for us", she is marvelous enough, just as she is. She's best, matter-0-fact, just exactly precisely as she is. Becca is marvelous in a way Neil Armstrong could never hope to be.

I guess I lost something in the translation. What does posting pictures of Apollo 13 astronauts have anything to do with showing them to be fraudulent, or as "perps" as you and decisively have come to call them?
...and in so doing, allow the curious to decide for themselves ...

They did not transmit television signals after the accident to conserve power. If it was "faked," they would have filmed a gripping tale of survival in progressive TV episodes, wouldn't they?
