When did the parachutes open? Answer this one to the world.

I meant that rhetorically coz I know you won't, coz you can't.

But you still have time to take your blinders off and pull your head
out of the sand on digest some simple logic:

If the chutes opened early, they'd completely fail as they need air
to pop open. Ok. Now, if they opened a little later, the heat would
be so intense you couldn't even film the chutes as they vaporized.
It would happen that fast. Ok, finally, if the chutes opened late in
the decent, the speed would be soooo tremendous on the chutes
due to F=MA (did you look what those 3 letters stand for)
force caused by the 2-ton capsule hurling toward the planet faster
and faster that it would completely destroy the chutes to shreds,
mylar or not.

Think about it with half a brain, and you'll find I'm dead right.

But, if you still think parachutes were used to bring men down
from the moon, seriously, I want to sell you my New Mexico properties
cheap as Apollo 13 set props.

The gullibles who believe the splashdown portion of the apollo
movies to be true need serious 101 physics lab rehabilitation to
help them grasp a little bit of reality..
