are you suggesting that the temperatures at moon distance should be -270°C??
dont you think the moon is a touch too close to the sun to be that cold? if not, shouldnt the earth also have frozen over?
temperature of the Moon can dip down to -153°C during the night. Oh, but you’re going to want to keep some cool weather clothes too, since the temperature of the Moon in the day can rise to 107°C.

Ya know, I have been reading the posts on this site since it began and in all those years I have drawn one conclusion about it's membership. You all scream DENY IGNORANCE, DENY IGNORANCE like some sort of conspiracy theorist's mantra. While at the same time displaying your own ignorance regarding good manners. Maybe Blocula's spelling and punctuation isn't perfect. But who cares! Is his point lost because his grammer is not perfect? Come on people. We are better than a bunch of trolls belittling someone because of the way they type or what they believe. Ignorance is the condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed. And in this way we are all ignorant about something. For instance, the guy who's scurrilous treatment of Blocula for his lack of understanding regarding the tempurature of space, is probably ignorant himself about how to play a guitar, or fix a jet engine, or perform a heart transplant. So let's all stop pretending we're perfect and focus on what we DO know. Not what others don't. Teach, explain, EDUCATE, and most importantly. Be polite dammit!
By the way. I know this is really late in the thread but I always seem to find these threads 6 pages deep. Why is that? Sorry this is like my 3 post in 10 years.

I truly believe in people communicating and sharing ideas, however, it is not 'mainstream' of me to ask that the person formulating the theory does basic research into the very thing they're claiming.
His entire speculative train of thought borders on the line that general scientific understanding is a hoax, which means that no one else can have an opinion in this conversation because s/he would automatically discount anything I could contribute.
Its as if I started a thread claiming that the sun doesn't exist-and then when people showed me images of the sun, evidence of it lighting the Earth, and how the photoelectric effect works; I tell them they're all sheeple and the guv'mint is lying to them.
That's not how it works-especially if I want to deny ignorance, which is one of the reasons I joined this great site.

Hubble is not capable of resolving images of earth.

Nor the moon I believe. Well. It can see the moon but cannot resolve anything that was left there by us.

Here we go, the Americans come out trying to make this guy look like a fool for creating a thread that "might hurt their patriotism".
Well how many stupid threads ie, "The Bird is the Word", come out everyday and no one tries to make a fool out of them.
