So, who wants to win 1 million Euro?

[Jason Thompson]

I note there are 106 pages discussing my popular Challenge and nobody has managed to win. I wonder why.

Well I could rehash the same old stuff about you not having the money, not understanding the science, and setting yourself up as the arbiter who decides whether you've been proven wrong and therefore shifting the goalposts every single time you are, but I think it is best summed up by your comment on the Cosmoquest forum where you basically said anyone who said you were wrong was an idiot best ignored.

I'd like to think you might have actually taken some time to learn a few things about the subject in your absence, but I doubt it.

Because your "challenge" is the conspiritard's equivalent of a Nigerian internet scam... looks too good to be true because it is!

I note Heiwa hasn't explained how steel can float on water, either.  I wonder why.

[raven]

Welcome back, Heiwa. Please answer the above.

[Peter B]

I wonder if he's worked out why the Launch Escape System was fitted to the Saturn V rocket? Or how the CSM and LM were steered during the Lunar Orbit Insertion burn?

Because you won't let anyone win.

[Heiwa]

Several people have given you the calculations you asked for, you have completely ignored that.

My Challenge rules are at http://heiwaco.tripod.com/chall.htm . Apart from calculations (?) you have to show with a real structure (any scale/size) + video of it how a small top part C of a structure can crush down, by dropping it on bottom part A of same structure that keeps part C up statically. C = 1/10A.
Thus - show first how bottom part A keeps top part C on top in place (it is simple).
Then remove top part C from bottom part A - elevate C 3.6 meters and drop it on A.
If C then crushes A you win €1 000 000:-.
That's the Challenge.
Actually my calculations at http://heiwaco.tripod.com/tower.htm or http://heiwaco.tripod.com/emi2013.htm show that it is not possible.
Show me wrong and collect € 1 000 000:- .

Welcome back, Heiwa. Please answer the above.

Thanks - I actually respond to all serious emails sent to me at [email protected] . Try yourself!

You are right. Because you are wrong.

[dwight]

Actually, I won, but refused the prize on humanitarian grounds. What with me being a great guy and all.

I don't suppose Heiwa would care to put the question before an impartial group of aerospace engineers and let them judge?

. . . No, I thought not.  That's because all the aerospace engineers in the world agree that Apollo happened as described by NASA, so of course they're in on a conspiracy!

[Allan F]

One isn't! Or so he says.

Plenty aerospace engineers and NASA experts have been encouraged by me to win my €1M Challenge by just copy/paste the 1960's energy/force/fuel/mass calculations how to get in and out of Moon orbit down to Moon and back to Earth with the Apollo space ship but it seems NASA lost those calculations.

Of course, in those days you had to punch holes in cards that you then fed into the computer's card reader and then you had to wait a day before the computer printed out 1 000's of pages of results of all sorts.  If one card was wrong all output would be wrong.

Imagine the Apollo asstronuts punching cards in space feeding the computer how to navigate 1969 in order not to crash on the Moon or speed off to Mars or into the Sun. It seems they also used a sextant to plot the position of the Sun to double check the data. GPS didn't exist then.

But it should be easy to do the calculations and make a simulation on a modern PC today and just to send me a copy of the voyage data ... and collect €1M.

[Andromeda]

Several people did just that - they provided the calculations openly, both here and on other forums (and I believe you won a Stundie in the process of demonstrating your wilful ignorance).  You ignored them, just as you will no doubt ignore this.

No, they are published, but you insist they are incorrect and therefore refuse to acknowledge that your own understanding is the fault. This thread is filled with calculations and examples, and you ignored every single one.

Imagine the Apollo asstronuts punching cards in space feeding the computer how to navigate 1969 in order not to crash on the Moon or speed off to Mars or into the Sun.

That would indeed be absurd, but since that was never how the Apollo computer on the spacecraft worked it is somewhat beside the point.

It seems they also used a sextant to plot the position of the Sun to double check the data.

And is there some reason they shouldn't be using a navigational system that had been in constant and successful use for centuries?

It's been done. You just refuse to pay out. We've been over this over and over again.
