The lunar lie

" No one was ever on the moon "

Kennedy Space centre – 16th July, 1969 – 13:32 UTC

The Saturn V rocket takes off with loud din of the start ramp. Many thousand people observe the start on site, millions before the screens all around the globe. Most are proud of the technology of the USA, they wanted to prove to the Soviets finally that they are better. The lunar module Apollo 11 is aboard, she should land as first on the moon – and bring three astronauts again healthy back to the earth.

John F. Kennedy had announced this idea with a speech in 1961. He was dead by the start of Apollo 11 for a long time, murders, however, his successor Richard Nixon sped up the project inexorably, although it was pointless. But thus it is in the policy, there one does no mistakes, and if, nevertheless, they are covered up.

Already for many years was clear to the engineers that the project was condemned to the failure, however, it ruled the cold war and the Yanks would have endlessly been disgraced if they had admitted her inability. They had to stand there in the matter of astronautics simply better than the Soviets. Thus it was further built cheerfully, because one had found a solution: Hollywood! In the film studios a walk on the moon can be produced easily.

Well, this is no news. It is new against the fact that there was no technology at the moment of the supposed moon-landings to carry out this. Only now one seriously plans a moon-landing for whose realization another about ten years are needed – 50 years after the Apollo project! If it was technically possible, the people would already have visited thousands of times the moon and there would have established for a long time big stations.

It was written a lot about the lunar lie. With very good arguments it was shown that the moon-landings have taken place in the studio. Still everything becomes zerredet or is ignored. But this is nothing new in our society.

One is still proved irrefutably that up to now no one was on the moon, namely with an easy arithmetic task.

Officially the lunar module had a mass of about 15 metric tons. Everywhere according to the approved laws of physics this mass is same, thus also on the moon. Because the gravity of the moon puts out, however, only around one sixth, the necessary fuel was lower accordingly. But at first the ferry had to land what required an amount of fuel and later again start. Afterwards she had to reach precisely the same speed like the shuttle circling in the orbit. Logistically and technically at that time impossibly.

We know that from the earth starting rockets can carry about five percent of pay load in the orbit. With the moon there might be about 30%. But the lunar module had to land and start what maximum 20% of pay load arise from, because she was a little lighter by the start than with the landing. Hence, about 12 metric tons of fuel would have to have been aboard to carry out such manoeuvres.

From it arises, with a total weight of 15 metric tons, a weight of the empty lunar module of about three metric tons, thus possibly so much like a small delivery van. But only the astronauts with her suits and the lunar car weighed already more than one metric ton. Thus not even remained for the naked ferry two metric tons. But exactly looked, she also looks thus – how a heap metal from an equipment workshop in Hollywood. If we subtract now still the heavy fuel tanks and the engine, nothing at all is left for the ferry purely.

I suppose, the forever yesterday's, believers and know-alls will also try this calculation shown here to zerreden. Today this is usual on the Internet because they remain everything anonymous …
