Damn, I think this thread has the most posts, second only to the thread: AeE130 Website: http://www.apollohoax.net/forum/index.php?topic=629.0
This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space. If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today.

I agree that ANY person versed in the operation of a nuclear submarine would know that answer.  Off the top of their head, too.

Hell, I've never even set foot on a submarine, nuclear or otherwise, but even I know where they put the tanks and why on a nuclear one. Tim's evasion of a simpler question and the suggestion he can do the more complex ones is not only not helping his credibility, it's not even written in a credible manner. Looks more like someone using word salad to sound clever than actually a genuine question. For one thing I'm pretty damn sure that emergency shutdown mechanisms are not 'chemical' and are integrated into the reactors, given that all the actual reacting takes place in a sealed and shielded compartment. In an emergency shutdown scenario I wouldn't want to be going to a store somewhere else to get something, then opening the reactor up to use it. This isn't like Spock restarting the Enterprise engines in Star trek II, after all....

Don't you know? The bag of SCRAM powder is stored in the Beano locker, right next to the Relative Bearing Grease.

LO please add this question.

Is this a log or linear graph?

Ah, well I stand corrected, thank you, Lurker. I also withdraw my criticism of Tim's question about chemicals for shutdown purposes.

You could not elude the knowledge of the nuke-submariners. I was fairly clueless that the chemicals alluded to neutron poison. I cannot elude this fact now, so am generous to those that have increased my knowledge that little bit more*.

I was looking at the thread last night, and the number of elude mistakes I made was a trifle embarrassing. I hope it does not affect effect affect effect affect effect make people think that I am unable to use grammar.

Along with the glass hammer and left handed screwdriver. Was bearing grease invented by Ralph Rene?

Did you know that the UK Trident SSBNs are based in Scotland's Faslane. Before they enter home port they are painted with tartan paint?  ::)

Sorry to Scottish friends and those with Scottish ancestry for the awful stereotype regarding tartan.

Oh, and whilst you are at it, go to stores and get a long weight. And I understand you want to put your name down for training as a splash target coxswain?

Just checked my emails, and got this email from our local Labour Party branch.  :o

I'm 100% sure that they aren't connected, but it sort of freaked me out.

Reminds me of when I joined air cadets and sent off to find some prop wash when we went on our first airplane ride in a DC-3.

I'm still looking for some elbow grease. And Tim's answer...

So much for this guy having a change of heart. He's basically started off again at Cosmoquest with identical and unaltered arguments without at any point acknowledging his stunning mistakes. It's fairly obvious that he is incapable of seeing anything beyond his narrow and very inaccurate viewpoint.

Reading through the new thread, and it makes for a very depressing read.

Why would I deign answer such a silly question?

Continued evasion of simple question noted.

I submit you have to have some level of expectation or you could not have any estimation of your ability to protect the safety of your men.

This is not about safety. You want a number to work with so you can keep telling us the Apollo numbers are bogus. The GCR flux for a two week mission isn't a significant safety concern, therefore it matters not what actual number you use as a baseline.

The issue here is not what number we would use but why you insist on calling an average a minimum and using an average calculated from the Apollo mission doses to claim the Apollo mission doses that very average was calculated from are bogus.

He's a troll - stirring crap up for the sake of stirring crap up. I'll bet real money he isn't a committed HB, just someone with a lot of spare time and a pathological need to nerd snipe.  And given the page count for this thread, damned good at it. 

God speed Timmeh; as trolls go, you were especially annoying.
