And no one is suspicious about this:

The Russians were kicking our butt in the Space Race seven ways from Sunday:
First satellite
First animal in space
First man in space
First 2 spacecraft in orbit at once
etc.

In short, the USA was having its butt handed to them by the Russians in the Space Race.

...But then the underdog USA comes from behind to land a knockout blow!

Wow...it's like Rocky IV!  that kind of dramatic turnaround, that kind of surprise win by the underdog is worthy of a Hollywood movie!

I've watched videos before, and seen much of the evidence, and come to the conclusion that the Moon Landings were a hoax.

However, I learned a few things in this video.

FOR EXAMPLE --

One of the astronauts claimed that they stayed cool for THREE DAYS on the moon thanks to "big batteries" onboard the LEM.

You got to be kidding me! BATTERIES? Seriously? I almost laughed out loud when he said that. I was embarrassed for him, it was such a silly lie.

The moon has no atmosphere, and it gets cooked by the sun on the daylight side -- up to 250 degrees F. And with no atmosphere, you can't use convection to draw off heat. You'd have to re-RADIATE the heat away. The amount of energy that would take far exceeds what could be stored in a few batteries, however large. And this was in 1970 remember.

I've done solar panel systems with deep cycle batteries before. I am well aware of how much electricity A/C takes -- but again, you can't use standard A/C on the moon because of the complete lack of atmosphere.

And how did those space suits hide a magic battery, enough to keep away the 250 degrees for HOURS AND HOURS at a time?

I don't think there is any system, even today, that can cool a space suit or a landing craft using batteries for power.  Batteries provide electricity which HEATS not cools. Notice the astronaut did not mention the type of system the batteries are said to have powered.  All electrically powered cooling systems in use today are heat pumps which use refrigerant to move heat from one area to another area, so what area would the space suit deliver the heat to?  The ambient temperature around the spacesuit would have been hotter than the suit itself, and heat only flows from hot to cold, so the refrigerant would have to be hotter than ambient temperature. With the efficiency loss, you'd need to have refrigerant at 15 or 20 degrees hotter than the surface of the moon.  There is no such refrigerant today, regardless of CFC's (chloroflourocarbons) or other banned materials.  The astronaut did not mention refrigerant.



Here's one that uses a "chilled water reservoir" to cool a person's vest.  But where would astronauts get chilled water on the moon?  BTW the battery powers a PUMP that circulates the chilled water, but it does not make the water cool.  Once the water in the reservoir is heated up, there is no more cooling.

So how did this mysterious battery-powered cooling system supposedly work?

What should a scientist think of data like this:

300, 250, 300, 300, 250, 240000, 300, 300, 250, 300, 300, 250, 300, 300, 250, 300, 300, 250, 300, 300, 250, 300, (many hundreds of times)...

That "240000" datum was obviously a mistake!

I would call it an anomaly, not a mistake. Could be a mistake, but assuming it is a priori would be foolish.

In short, the USA was having its butt handed to them by the Russians in the Space Race.

Leaving everything else aside for a moment, this there is actually a good explanation for. In 1892 a Russian mathematician by the name of Aleksandr Lyapunov published a book titled The General Problem of Stability of Motion. This paper was completely revolutionary in the analysis of differential equations, but went mostly unnoticed at the time of its publication (why: there were lots of hugely important mathematicians running around Russia at the time, and it was hard to get noticed).

The contents of this book are an essential part of the mathematical framework needed to get a vehicle into space. However, although they were (partially) translated into French in 1908, the result did not appear in English until 1960. Within 10 years, the US managed to catch up and pass Russia in the space race.

I could provide sources for all of this if anyone wants, but you'll probably have to take my word for it on the importance of this particular work. It's hard to explain it's significance without going into a lot of detail on differential equations :)
