Björkman has decided to spend his involuntary vacation from the forum polishing his page. I caught several revisions, but decided to wait until they accumulate. Some of the changes since
my last diff include:
The title element of the page* has been changed from "Is space travel possible?" to "Space travel is not possible!".
(*The title element contains the text displayed in the title bar of the browser's window.)
There's another dig at SpaceX in the beginning (again, I've marked the added text in green):
If you think I am crazy I recommend that you emmigrate to Mars and make a fortune there. The space ship is ready! But can you really trust the space travel agent Elon Musk selling the tickets? Elon is performing SpaceX re-entries [link to the SpaceX section in the article] today. But is anybody really up there in the ISS being re-entered? The ISS is 99% NASA that created the Apollo 11 hoax paid for by US tax payers. I have a feeling the show is just going on. Prove me wrong!
Heiwa, I suggest looking up the ownership of the different components of the ISS and who put them up there. I guess it will be a surprise to you that there is a sizable Russian part. I also suggest updating your page, because it talks about the Dragon's flight to the ISS in future tense, and it's already old news. You also seem to be unaware of the initial Dragon flight and reentry that didn't go to the ISS. For your education, here's SpaceX's website:
http://www.spacex.com/The assertions that the "official version" is inconsistent about the LM's propellant load and its capacity have been quietly removed, most clearly seen in these two consecutive paragraphs: (in red is the removed text, part of which was in red in the original):
Total fuel used by the LM for descent and ascent was 10 237 kg according [1]. How it was possible as the LM could only carry 8 777 kg fuel remains a mystery.
The LM was jettisoned into lunar orbit at 00:01:01 UT on 22 July and remained in lunar orbit, where it should still be today as there is no friction stopping it. According some sources there was still fuel aboard the LM, when it was dumped. Very confusing. And indication that it was a hoax.
...but he's still doubling down on the "not enough fuel for the CSM" assertion:
I would expect that about at least 8 times (!) more fuel/energy had to be used to slow down the heavy - 32.7 ton - space ship. And to carry it + the extra fuel to the Moon you needed a three or four times bigger rocket to get off from Earth in the first place. Which USA didn't have 1969. So NASA decided to just make it up! I am certain.
("Slow down" used to be "stop".
He's also apparently enamored with the newfound insight that the Saturn V couldn't have worked because of the increased fuel load required by his incompetent calculations:
It means in my opinion that you need 5-6 times more fuel than suggested by NASA to brake into Moon orbit (events # 5-6) and to get out of Moon orbit (events # 14-15) and and there is no place to carry it and makes the whole space ship weight mass much greater at departure, say around 100 000 kg, that requires more fuel, etc, etc. If the Apollo space ship including fuel must weigh say 100 000 kg at departure, the Saturn three stages rocket is much too small to eject it into space.
He has also intensified the digs against his opponents. He has added a sentence to the attack against
Glom ("What a comedy!") and there's also this:
Actually only way to go to Moon and back is using very light weight robots and modules and to chose a long, slow velocity path through space using Sun's gravity, so that arrival speeds and energy requirements are minimum to reduce fuel consumption for braking and accelerating. Prove me wrong and earn 1 000 000:-. Only fools believe human space travel is possible at all ... and there are many such persons, incl. PhDs of all kind and rocket scientists all paid for by the military, etc, etc. But the hoax show must go on. The ISS and the Shuttle for example! Read on:
Heiwa, does that include the people on this forum? Who do you think gets paid by the military here?
