Title: Wallace & Grommit and the moon hoax
Post by: onebigmonkey on April 13, 2015, 03:41:00 PM
I noticed the other day we have a new member, Gene Schmitt.

Gene Schmitt is also the name attached to this:



which is circulating on the net right now.

If that's you sir, well done :)

Its clever, and really does cover many of the bases

The spacecraft doesn't "look" right
Shadow inconsistencies
Lunar and Earth terminator illumination
No crater under the lander
Motion and gravity issues
etc

However, my favourite was the "switcheroo" on the stars in the sky issue...

"And did you notice the pathetic attempt to make it all look real by including fake stars in the sky?  They of course should not be visible due to the extreme brightness of the lunar surface. Any competent photographer could tell you that!"


Priceless!!

The point about the cards and newspaper is wrong, however; it is clearly a constant acceleration rocket.

Thank you, Einstein.

I wonder how large a constant acceleration rocket would need to be to travel all the way to the moon?

Depends whether it is powered by Elerium-115 or not... ;)

Wow, I guess I missed the new "No Humor" rule...

What do you mean, "no humor". I meant it as a subtle joke -- a fundamental principle of Einstein's theory of general relativity is that you can't tell the difference between being stationary in a gravity field and being accelerated at a constant rate in deep space far from any gravity fields.

...and to decelerate once it got there.  :)

All depends on the payload mass and the propulsion Isp.

Around 367 kg. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART-1)

You didn't specify what the acceleration would have to be...

How about with a 1g acceleration all the way then....
