Quote from: smartcooky on February 26, 2014, 03:24:38 PMBrake? Did the Apollo capsule actually fire some kind of braking thruster? I have always thought they returned with the main engine on the SM pointing back towards the moon (making subtle course corrections using the RCS as needed on the return flight) then just before arrival, they dumped the SM and translated the CM to face heat shield first and hit the Earth's atmosphere at the specified angle so as not to burn up or skip off, and allowed aerodynamic drag do the braking for them?Bjorkman doesn't believe in aerodynamic braking though. So I expect he thinks that they had a big anchor that they just threw out to slow the CM down.....

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting there was _no_ anchor?

He described how the maneuver was completed to the American public on TV. Why are you obsessed with him?!QuoteAnd then the CSM with the Lunar Module on top of the CM was sent off to the Moon.Yes.QuoteWhy not? Does that mean you accept you were wrong?

Why not?
Thread necromancy alert, 6 years, just about. Andromeda hasn't been here in months, and Heiwa has been banned.Fred

His thread there has something like three times as many pages as this one, and I think TFES has a higher post/page ratio than here.Edit: Yeah, they do 30 posts per page versus the 15 here. So, obviously, the thread is 6 times longer and still growing.
One must realise that Heiwa is fast running out of venues that will allow his wild claims. Thus he must necessarily seek further reaches of the fringe to even have a chance of posting anything. Do not forget, he was banned by Simon Shack. That takes some effort.

Anyone who claims rockets work in a vacuum or that radiation/nuclear power is real risks a ban at Clues Forum. Last year Simon Shack started promoting his own theory of how the Solar System works.
