tomcat, The likes of our pagan John Griffin is just into being his usual incest of topic buttology/****ology self. I bet I can make you say that again. rotfl What's with this topic avoidance and/or dead silence? Time and risibility limit the number of your tangents that a normal person can dismiss in one day, fool. Within all of this Usenet infomercial and rusemaster land there seems not so much as a naysay peep of their usual all-out topic/author bashings, as from any of their usual all-knowing words of wisdom to being found, as in not even a traditional topic/author bashing worth of a typically discouraging word with any regard to my notion of accommodating a moon+Apophis merger? Just out of curiosity...have you ever tried just saying whatever the **** it is that you want to say instead of making tortured efforts to sound like you're just coming out of some kind of overdose? With the potential worth of of Apophis contributing 20+ million megajoules, that which should actually produce a great deal of lunar atmosphere, as well as sharing a few spare tonnes of fresh moon rocks and perhaps even offering a few secondary shards of Apophis as eventually headed our way, and yet there's still not so much as one such expertise to behold. Where did you get "20+ million megajoules"? You could find lots of information about Apophis if you were interested in something more than yapping. It seems the once and for all benefit to all of humanity and that of benefiting our environment, from such a terrific notion of simply artificially terminating the likes of Apophis for good, by way of having it ever so slightly redirected so as to smack itself directly into our moon isn't getting the usual fair share of Usenet flak that it deserves. Where's all of that wag-thy-dog worth of infomercial-science and conditional laws of physics when we really need it? Give us details about ever so slightly redirecting it to hit the moon. Personally, I think that's damn near impossible, or at least it would take one hell of a lot more energy than throwing the sucker out of the solar system or at least outside Earth's orbit, but hey, you're the expert. Do the non-infomercial science and get back to us. QUESTIONS: At the most influential angle and timing of lunar impact; what can 20 million megajoules accomplish towards affecting the lunar orbit? Probably negligible. However, the actual kinetic energy of Apophis (~31 km/s, 4.6x10^10 kg) might make an measureable change. You're the expert. Figure it out. Same question, except for considering the least disruptive angle of impact? Somewhat less. How about offering us a full set of possible what-if Apophis--moon mergers? Since it's a ****ing stupid idea, how about you doing for us? What's the absolute maximum worth of a head-on impact velocity? - Brad Guth Why are you asking? Why don't you tell us? http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/ Maybe you can adjust the parameters to simulate a moon impact. |

Just out of curiosity...have you ever tried just saying whatever
the **** it is that you want to say instead of making tortured efforts to sound like you're just coming out of some kind of overdose? John Griffin, I've been there, done that. Telling folks that our moon is actually perfectly good for something (meaning it worth a whole lot more than it'll cost us), or of what the LL-1 and of the LSE-CM/ISS opportunity is all about, and of sharing my discovery of the likely existence of other life as having coexisted upon Venus isn't working unless it's in LeapFrog or some other encrypted format. Where did you get "20+ million megajoules"? I used a 400 meter of diameter that was mostly iron, although since then I've learned of how much velocity modertation takes place as that asteriod zipps nearby Earth (taking away roughly half). Of course, if gravity and of the artificial assist of getting that nasty little orb into a collision mode of terminating itself into our moon is boosted back up to the 12.5 km/s, if not 13.5 km/s is where I believe the maximim impact energy can once again reach 24e18 joules. If the redirection of Apophis/99942 (2004 MN4) can avoid Earth by a greater margin of safety, as well as therefore having maintained a greater proportion of it's velocity would certainly get things interesting as to the amount of delivered energy, even if being of merely of 4.6e10 kg should be impressive. My question of the day: How much of impact energy (reaction mass) gets converted into Dv. Due to the fact that a meteor or asteroid impact of such velocity has usually extensively vaporised itself and otherwise deforming our moon by at least a good 10:1 ratio, is in of itself suggesting that at least 90% of such impact energy is not going to become lunar Dv. Due to the cratering(deep surface deformation), as well as for the displaced primary and secondary tonnage of shards plus fairly massive amount of thermal related energy that's essentially vaporising a great deal of most everything into becoming atmospheric elements is why much of the asteroid impact energy shouldn't contribute to lunar Dv. Therefore the impact reaction energy is perhaps seldom going to exceed 10% of the full kinetic potential, even if having been directed as a 0.0° hit. Perhaps a mostly nickel-iron asteroid that's worth 7.8t/m3 could manage a bit better, whereas Apophis/99942 is supposedly a third of that density as based upon the current swag of available infomercial-science, and as such there shouldn't be hardly any physical remains of that wussy substance once having merged with the 3+g/cm3 of lunar basalt. This is my current swag as to Dv of reaction potential, as based upon the angle of impact. 0.0° = 10% Dv 22.5° = 5% Dv 45° = 2.5% Dv 67.5° = .625% Dv 90° = .156% Dv (glancing blow that's mostly going into rotational torque) The supposed ballpark density of Apophis/99942 is merely 2.681t/m3 The density of a mostly nickel-iron meteor or asteroid is 7.856t/m3 Pure nickel alloy can reach 8.9t/m3 Pure cobalt alloy can reach 8.8t/m3 Magnetic shield alloy density is 8.25~8.75t/m3 Common nickel-iron alloys can easily exceed 8.1t/m3 Of pure iron and nickel crystals become 7.775 and 8.953t/m3 My suggested maximum impact Dv = Mb/Ma * V2 * % /2 Dv = lunar velocity shift (in this case being a likely increase in velocity) Ma = primary mass of 7.35e22 kg Mb = secondary mass of 4.6e10 kg V2 = (12.5e3)2 = 156.25e6 % = 10% if at 0.0° (direct hit within +/- 1°) The Dv could however represent a reduction in lunar velocity if given a head-on or even that of an external (backside) impact which technically can be arranged. With some practice, we could put this sucker into whichever side-pocket we'd care to arrange, or we could manage to minimize the impact energy with a lunar rear-ender that should extract nearly a km/s from the velocity tally. As the estimates of density and/or volume of Apophis/99942 increases, as well as if the final impact velocity gets boosted along by the three-body alignment plus whatever's contributed via artificial means, it only stands to good reason that whatever's of extra tonnage plus extra velocity is going to impose greater reaction Dv on behalf of moving our moon, that's supposedly already receeding by some odd 34 mm/year. The upper estimate of Apophis/99942 being of 400 m and worth 26e7t gives us the 13.5 km/s KE as being in the ballpark of nearly 24e18 joules. Give us details about ever so slightly redirecting it to hit the moon. Personally, I think that's damn near impossible, or at least it would take one hell of a lot more energy than throwing the sucker out of the solar system or at least outside Earth's orbit, but hey, you're the expert. Do the non-infomercial science and get back to us. It's actually not quite so horrific, especially since there's lots of time and nifty variables to work with. A series of small nuclear events that we could get the likes of "Willian Mook" to orchestrate, as delivered and timed as to divert and/or modify the trajectory and/or velocity of that asteroid seems perfectly doable and well within the global expertise that's at hand. Targeting that sucker into our moon would take the least amount of artificially applied energy, and it would become a lunar terraforming beneficial sort of thing to be doing. Maybe you can adjust the parameters to simulate a moon impact. http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/ Thanks for the suggestion and the "impacteffects" link. I have no doubts that such an asteroid could be just as easily diverted into our moon as per a little extra nuclear effort and timing for otherwise diverting such into our sun, perhaps via using the timing of a near pass of Venus (clearly a much better usage of our WMD than upon humanity). April 2029 seems as though a perfectly good opportunity as to target our moon. Why not? What do we have to lose? Probably negligible. However, the actual kinetic energy of Apophis (~31 km/s, 4.6x10^10 kg) might make an measureable change. You're the expert. Figure it out. I would not exactly call it "Probably negligible" if the velocity and/or recession of our moon is measurably affected. My initial formula for impact reaction Dv is perhaps a bit overkill, but then I haven't located any other source or interactive calculator that'll say otherwise. Since you're all so gosh darn all-knowing and I'm not, whereas this is why I'm asking for your better math and supposed expertise that'll share those better ideas. In the past that's been too much to ask for, but since this opportunity is another win-win for the old gipper that could maks our NASA look as though it's worth keeping, as such I'd thought having your expertise input would share a good deal of what's most important to humanity and that of defending what's left of our global warming environment. - Brad Guth |

Here's a somewhat better worded infomercial-effort at this sub-topic of
Apophis/99942(2004 MN4) impacting our moon instead of NYC. Just out of curiosity...have you ever tried just saying whatever the **** it is that you want to say instead of making tortured efforts to sound like you're just coming out of some kind of overdose? John Griffin, As of years ago, I've been there and done that (except without benefit of drugs or withdrawals). Even nicely informing folks that our moon is actually perfectly good for something (meaning that it's worth a whole lot more than it'll cost us), or sharing of what the nearby LL-1 and of the LSE-CM/ISS opportunity is all about, and of otherwise my having shared in the discovery of a likely existence of other nearby intelligent life as having coexisted upon Venus, or that of my weird notion having suggested that everything is in orbit about someting, such as my argument being that our solar system has been in a 105,000 +/- some odd year orbit with the nearby and somewhat massive Sirius solar/star system, whereas such these topics haven't exactly been working all that well nor hardly accepted unless converted into LeapFrog or some other encrypted format, that's perhaps having been better off delivered via lose cannon that's on behalf of my returning the topic/author bashing favor with all the love and affection that I can muster. Where did you get "20+ million megajoules"? Actually that part was in error, it was 20e18 or 20 million terajoules, whereas I used a 400 meter diameter that was mostly iron, although since then I've learned of how much velocity modertation takes place as that asteriod zips nearby Earth (taking away roughly half). Of course, if gravity and of the artificial assist of getting that nasty little orb into a collision mode of terminating itself into our moon, boosted back up to the 12.5 km/s if not 13.5 km/s is where I believe the maximim density worth of impact energy can once again reach 24e18 joules. If the redirection of Apophis/99942 (2004 MN4) can avoid Earth by a greater margin of safety, as well as therefore having maintained a greater proportion of it's incoming velocity would certainly keep things interesting as to the amount of delivered energy, even if being of merely of 4.6e10 kg should be impressive.

With some practice, we could put this sucker into whichever front, back or side-pocket we'd care to arrange, or we could manage to minimize the impact energy by way of targeting a lunar rear-ender that should extract nearly a km/s from the velocity tally. As the estimates of density and/or volume of Apophis/99942 increases, as well as if the final impact velocity gets boosted along by having the three-body (Earth+moon+sun) alignment plus whatever's contributed via artificial means, it only stands to good reason that whatever's of extra tonnage plus extra velocity is going to impose greater reaction Dv on behalf of motivating our moon a bit further away per year, that's supposedly already receeding by some odd 34 mm/year. However, a glancing blow might displace nearly as much debris into leaving the the lunar grasp, that'll pretty much have to end up in someone's back yard (like all the other mega, giga or tera tonnes worth of moon rock that's already here). Because this is just for argument sake; The upper most estimate of Apophis/99942 being of 400 m and worth 26e7t if mostly of iron gives us the 13.5 km/s KE as being in the ballpark of nearly 24e18 joules. Give us details about ever so slightly redirecting it to hit the moon. I'll need a good supercomputer along with all the bells and whistles of orbital do-everything software that we've already bought and paid for at least ten fold and counting.

Since you're all so gosh darn all-knowing and I'm not, whereas this is why I'm asking for your math and supposed expertise that'll share those better ideas.

Brad Guth Last June 23, a guy with an urgent problem saw Guth's outhouse as he was driving around, so instead of dumping the load in his pants he dashed into Guth's ****house. Guth's is a two-holer, of course, since he wants to be prepared for those days when he's beside himself because of everyone laughing at him. As the other guy was sitting there, Guth dashed in and took a dump, and then stood up and started trying to figure out how to button up his overalls. While he was doing that, some coins fell out of his pocket and a few of them bounced down the hole and plopped into the foot-thick **** six feet below. Guth picked up the other coins and counted them. Then he took out his wallet, thought things over for a minute and threw a twenty dollar bill down the hole. The other guy said "What the hell did you do that for?!" in the same tone as the same line in a movie called "The Gods Must Be Crazy." Guth said "You don't think I'd go down there for twenty-eight cents, do you?" |

Even if the orbits were coplanar, it would be like trying to shoot the eye out of a hoop snake from millions of miles away. The calculations could be done with that software you wish you had, and they would show that landing a manned object on the surface of the moon was trivial by comparison. Anyway, considering the total mass of the two objects and making just about any rational guess as to the amount of ejected mass, the new total momentum of the Apophis/Moon system after a merger of the two would differ from the momentum of the moon alone at the same instant by an amount that would get lost in roundoff, since the moon is about 2,000,000,000,000 times Apophis's mass. You wouldn't have to do any retargeting at all when you howl at the moon. It would be right where it always has been. That reminds me...was it you who said that the collision between "Deep Impact" and that comet would throw Mars out of the solar system or something like that? (If you didn't say that, why not?) |

John Griffin,
That's actually not half bad. Would you like to contribute a few more of those for my book? - Brad Guth |

When Will Brad Guth Get His First Clue?
That reminds me...was it you who said that the collision between
"Deep Impact" and that comet would throw Mars out of the solar system or something like that? (If you didn't say that, why not?) John Griffin, You actually have a mind to remind? Going by this previous used toilet-paper statement of your's seems to say that you've lost whatever flatulence you once had as a mind. BTW; what's your calculations (specific to the direction and micro meter/s), that the moon velocity should be shifted by such a nifty asteroid impact, that which should be easy to arrange? Why are you so afraid of folks learning the truth, that we did NOT quite walk on the moon? What's the big freaking deal (aka "so what's the difference") if we haven't moon walked? Doesn't our government generally lie their butts off most of the time (especially when things are going rather badly)? Haven't you lied on behalf of protecting your Third Reich and their cult of Skull and Bones? Wasn't our perpetrated cold-war nothing but liarsupon liars telling us lies from day one? Doesn't every red, white and blue blooded American lie and/or having benefitted from others having lied from day one? Isn't other than being a native, being yet an all American a lie? Just because you've relocated yourself to another land that you've summarily taken from the rightful owners doesn't make you or any of your kin folk actual Americans, just as relocating to France doesn't make you French, and so forth. The taking of North America was not a natural progression of human expansion/migration. Some of us got lucky, whereas natives got either quite dead, extremely sick and prematurely died off, or we just ran them off. Of those natives which stuck around we continually lied to. So, what's new? Obviously you've still got no such fly-by-rocket lander (not even so much as a prototype), and I'll have to bet China is getting closer to seeing their prototype lander actually perform. So, why don't you prove me wrong? While you're at it; why don't you get Kodak corporate to prove me wrong? BTW; the impact energy is not 1/2,000,000,000,000 the worth of the moon. It's roughly worth half of 4.6e10 X V2. At 10 km/s = 2.3e16 kg. Taking a mere 10% = .23e16 kg of applied force. Thus 7.35e22/0.23e16 = 32e6:1 should cause our moon velocity to measurably shift. Why is it that your best swag can't manage to say by how much? - Brad Guth |
