Building mounds, then building the great pyramids, and then back to building mounds again?? Hilarious, really!
so if the egyptians were building mounds and then built the great pyramids and then back to building mounds again..
you would believe that the great pyramids were not real, perhaps maybe a hologram?? hilarious indeed.
p.s. if you dont like the pyramids ill use skyscrapers:
Burj Khalifa UAE height 828.0 m completed 2010
23 Marina UAE 395.0 m completed 2012
Princess Tower UAE 392.0 m completed 2012
The Index UAE 328.0 m completed 2009
seems in the UAE the were only capable of about 328m in 2009 and then in 2010 they go right upto 828m!!!!!!! and then 2 years later they go back DOWN to 395 m and 392 m.. do you believe the burj khalifa to be a hoax also??

Orion has never flown humans into deep space, either.
Anyway, by pointing out that Orion is built primarily of aluminum, you're obviously implying that Orion will use aluminum for radiation shielding...otherwise, it wouldn't be relevant to bring up...
Now, I've got no idea WHY you'd mention it, because aluminum is NOT being used for radiation shielding in the (primarily aluminum) Orion spacecraft...
The spacecraft can be primarily aluminum, as Orion is, but to fly Orion into deep space, it needs to have radiation shielding. These shields are NOT aluminum, since - AS WE SHOULD ALL KNOW BY NOW - aluminum has proven to be worse than no shield at all, as it actually intensifies the radiation.
So they are trying to develop radiation shielding for the Orion, as proven by the following sources (and many others)...
NASA has to study this area of radiation before they can send a manned spaceflight through it
That is EXACTLY what I've been telling you, for crying out loud!! So now, you know even THEY are admitting it.
The most important point is - if NASA has to study the VAB "before they can send a manned spacecraft through it", then the Apollo spacecraft NEVER flew men to the moon!
There would be no need for NASA to study the VAB "before they can send a manned" craft through it, since NASA's Apollo manned craft would have already gone through it - 18 times, on 9 missions, perfectly safe and sound - over 40 years ago!!
I was referring to the figures in the documents I cited.
You know that, of course. You also know I'm right about those figures being 'geusstimates', too.
That's why you didn't use those figures in your argument, as you know the figures are not genuine.
Still trying to spin around my arguments, hey?? ....no go, bub.

If the people who built mounds were also the people who built the pyramids, and went back to building mounds forever after, you'd need to account for a completely illogical set of events.
What makes you even think it actually happened in that way, when you have zero evidence to support it?
You were that desperate to find a comparison to 'LEO, to manned moon landings, and back to LEO forever since' story!?
And your skyscraper comparison is just as ridiculous, too..
Do you not realize that, in fact, skyscrapers have actually been built taller and taller over the years, and not built small, then very tall, and then back to only building small ones, forever after?
Do I really need to show you the undeniable proof of that?
I hope not, for your sake....

Good video... Which reminds me of this video...
Shepard hits the golf ball and says, "Miles and miles and miles..." regarding the distance the golf ball travelled. As you can see in the video, he hits a fair amount of sediment when he hits the ball. The ball goes on for miles and miles but the sediment settles back down fairly quickly (which doesn't look right to me). Like your video demonstrates, the two objects react the same to the gravity. So how does he hit two objects with the same instrument at the same time and get two vastly different results?

And if you toss them in the same direction with the same force, the result should still be the same.

With no atmosphere, no friction, why does the dust visibly slow and fall back to the surface so quickly?

So if the outside force acting on the object is gravity...then what? Its equal on both objects because the moon is so much larger? Then if you start making the moon smaller, at what point does the action on the two objects begin to differ?
