The Moon and Earth

How many times does a man have to go to the Moon to prove he has been
there? The answer is 6 times.

Apollo 9 - the famous and awesome trip

Apollo 10 - didn't quite make it

Apollo 11 - unfortunate accident due to a launch from a NUKE
contaminated Launch Pad (it still registers on a Geiger Counter 27
Years Later)

Apollo 12 - the best of the interesting - it never left earth but
instead made the most bad video in History

Apollo 13 - what an ending!

Apollo 14 - Tried to go the Moon when Jupiter was at 2.36 Days to its
closest point to Earth. It left Earths Orbit and was on Jupiter in
13.8 Minutes because they tried like hell to use the Moons Graviton to
save themselves.

Apollo 15 - Tried the same thing and ended up in a Graviton that showed
them Jupiter its self just before the Capsule imploded. I believe the
Official Transcript read "its massive"

Apollo 16 - Unfortunate Mishap - Uh - they did it again.


Ok - so, how do we get out of this Gravity hole? Easy. Just fly when
Jupiter is opposite the Earth like both Voyagers did and just like the
Future missions that will succeed did.

Isn't is bull**** when a whole bunch of people try to re-write History
just because they want to. Why would anyone do that? How can we learn..

Around the Earth?

Not very famous or interesting.

Now Apollo 8 was famous and interesting.


Apollo 10 - didn't quite make it


Made it as close as it planned?

Apollo 11 - unfortunate accident due to a launch from a NUKE
contaminated Launch Pad (it still registers on a Geiger Counter 27
Years Later)

You mean the same pad countless other missions have launched from since?



Apollo 12 - the best of the interesting - it never left earth but

You're rought about one thing, the video was disappointing.

Apollo 13 - what an ending!


Ayup. Great movie too.

Apollo 14 - Tried to go the Moon when Jupiter was at 2.36 Days to its
closest point to Earth. It left Earths Orbit and was on Jupiter in
13.8 Minutes because they tried like hell to use the Moons Graviton to
save themselves.

Umm, yeah, right.



Apollo 15 - Tried the same thing and ended up in a Graviton that showed
them Jupiter its self just before the Capsule imploded. I believe the

Great... somehow everyone else missed reading that particular transcript.
Where exactly is it?

Apollo 16 - Unfortunate Mishap - Uh - they did it again.



Yeah, it sucked that the mission was so successful.

Ok - so, how do we get out of this Gravity hole? Easy. Just fly when
Jupiter is opposite the Earth like both Voyagers did and just like the
Future missions that will succeed did.


WTF?

BTW, you forgot about Apollo 17.

How did the Apollo 14 astronauts get back to Earth then? I don't
recall any Apollo astronauts being missing.

Are you sure the official transcript didn't read "My God! It's full of
stars!" I remember encountering that one... I think it's filed under
"K".

In case anybody's interested, ACC still gives interesting interviews

http://www.theonionavclub.com/4007/feature1.html

(despite the source, this seems to be a real, actual interview, not
a parody).


Cheers, alex.

Apollo 9 - the famous and awesome trip

This was a LEO mission with a CM and LM.

Apollo 8 flew around the moon, but carried no LM.

Just out of curiosity, what *did* it carry in its trunk then? I can't
imagine they just wasted the space on ballast weight...

From:
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/...g?sc=1968-118A


A Lunar Module was not used on the Apollo 8 mission but a Lunar
Module Test Article which was equivalent in mass (9027 kg) to a
Lunar Module was mounted in the spacecraft/launch vehicle adapter
as ballast for mass loading purposes.

It wasn't a "waste" since the equivalent mass allowed them to test the
Saturn V as if there were an LM underneath the CSM. This proved the
Saturn V could "do the job".
