i bet they hit the exact spot the moon landing took place and will wipe away all evidence of man ever being on the moon...


Ignorance abounds....egads!!!

These sorts of threads, the abject lack of ANY credibility in them, furthered by inane posts that don't have even a whiff of understanding of the issues, the truth, the history...the FACTS!

I am feeling bad for ATS right now. And, I am beginning to wonder if that film "Idiocracy" was less an entertainment, but more of a future documentary....scary.

I'm going to bare my horrible ignorance by asking the following question.

Is it even possible to blow up a bomb in an atmosphere without oxygen? No I did not go to school, that's why I ask. Don't bombs need oxygen to explode?

Let's examine these so-called "facts"....I can confidently say you have been misinformed.....

What is the likelyhood of the impact sparking ineteria, and kicking off the Moon's rotation?



Likelihood is ZERO. BUT, based on how you asked the question, seems you have a very basic misconception, for starters. The Moon is ALREADY rotating!


Also, here are a few "facts" that I was told earlier in the year that I haven't been able to confirm yet.


You should look harder, the information -- REAL and accurate information, is out there.


With regards to Earth's Moon; There are NO other moons/satelites in our known universe that:
1.) have NO rotation as they orbit.



First...terminology. "known universe" huh? Perhaps you meant to say our Solar System, since the entire "known universe" is very, very large by comparison, and not really that well "known" yet...just observed best we can.

Second, there are many, many examples of other planets' satellite that are "tidally locked" so that they rotate just slow enough to appear to keep one hemisphere toward the parent planet.

Search some of the terms above.


2.) perfectly eclipse the sun



Well, again...the Moon does NOT "perfectly" eclipse the Sun. Another mistaken belief that has made its way into lore.

Pictures of the Moon in color are not new, nor unusual. ALSO, lots of them that you may be referring to have been enhanced, with false color techniques, for various reasons.


I dunno, doesn't this all create a somewhat creepy vision of the Moon? Isn't this thread correct in coming up with irrational/rational theories as to the actual events they are hiding? Everything they tell us is a lie, therefore we can all accurately assume that this official story is false as well.


WHAT "official story"? You are incorrect in many of the assumptions, due to bad scientific knowledge. You are getting some of these crazy ideas from ATS threads, it seems...and when you read through them you will find quite normal explanations, instead of the frantic hysteria that some posters like to use....


The very titlwe of this thread shows the lack of understanding I'm mentioning....

It's not a question of what whether I beleive what they tell as much as whether I have done any research to find out what is going on.

I will humor you momentarily and say it is a bomb. I will even one up you and say it is a nuclear bomb. At 2 tons, its half the size of the B53 nuclear bomb. The 53 is the most powerful bomb ever put into by the US. Its yield is 9Mt. The 10.4Mt Mike test explosion left a 950m crater. Are you starting to see why there is no need to worry? A nuclear blast more than twice the size of what would be possible left a much smaller crater than your panic is leading you to beleive will happen (the 5-mile myth).

But, you say, what if it knocks the moons out of its orbit? A megaton is roughly equivalent to 4.2 petajoules. Thats 4,200,000,000,000,000 joules. that would be enough force to accelerate an object weighing 4 trillion kg object 1m/s for 1 second. The moon weighs 7.35 sextillion (that's 22 0's) kg. An explosion on the moon of a B53 would change the acceleration by .0000005 (5 ten-millionths) m/s. The moon already travels at a little over a kilometer per second.

There is no bomb, even if there were a bomb it would be meaningless. A nuclear bomb twice the size of what you claim is there would not change anything. Stop panicking and stop spreading panic. Your continued nonsensical rants will not help or prove anything. If you don't believe me then I guess we can wait until Saturday and find out.

All the data provided can be found on the web. Most of it is basic physics equations.

edit: for spelling

What a bunch of crap! *shaking head*. It's "simple" math. Two tons with a certain kinetic energy is supposed to knock the Moon (7.35 × 10^22 kg) out of it's spiraling trajectory accompanying the Earth? Thee moon is about a quarter the diameter of the Earth (and 0.012 3 Earths mass), and NASA is gonna shoot it out of the sky using two tons of mass, the equivalent a regular motorcar? If they had two tons of weapons' grade plutonium, maybe the Moon would jiggle a little, but still, two tons of non-ballistic metal like steel and titanium? Get real.

In order to move 7.35 × 10^22 kg you must apply a tad more than two tons of dust.... In order to move the moon even the slightest bit, you'd have to apply kinetic energy equivallent to several hundred million megatons of TNT, and NASA is gonna make it with a used up rocket, weighing the same as a regular motorcar, with no additional explosive payload.... Mon Dieu!

The Moon does rotate. It's tidally locked to earth as weedwhacker mentioned previously. Most major moons are tidally locked to the planet they orbit. Mercury is tidally locked to the Sun. Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to each other. There are dozens of examples in our solar system.

2.) perfectly eclipse the sun


It does not. The Moons distance from Earth varies, so sometimes it covers the Sun completely and other times it
does not.

and the fact that we have RARELY seen pictures of the moon in COLOR, up until only a few weeks ago, really. (Thankyou India!)


Have you never seen the images from the Clementine orbiter? There are colour maps of the entire Moon, albeit in false colour. Plenty of colour photos taken in orbit during the Apollo missions as well.

Could you link me to the colour images of the Moon by India? I don't think I've seen them.

EDIT:

A new image has been released on the LROC site. It shows the impact crater of the S-IVB stage from Apollo 14. The S-IVB stage is much bigger than the Centaur rocket stage that will impact tomorrow.

Apollo 14 S-IVB Impact Crater

The Apollo impact velocity was 2.54 km/sec and an angle of 69° from the horizontal along a heading of 103° (west to east). The S-IVB had a mass of 14,016 kg (30835 lbs) at the time of impact and impact energy was 5.54 x 1010 J (equivalent to just over 10 tons of TNT). The signal from the impact was recorded on the Apollo 12 seismometer; it lasted for about 3 hours. The LCROSS impactor (Centaur upper stage) is much smaller than the S-IVB and thus will make a smaller crater. The Centaur weighs about 2000 kg and will impact with a velocity of about 2.5 km/sec.


There were a total of 5 S-IVB impacts into the Moon. Nothing bad happened to the Moon.
