Haha. The Apollo 10 guy, Cernan, said that there was concern at NASA that they might try to land on the moon. They were the guys who did the full dress rehearsal of the entire mission and launched the lander, but then brought it back up. Cernan claimed that the mission planners intentionally didn't put enough fuel on the lander to land it.
They also said the material on the lunar lander was so thin that if you dropped a screwdriver in it (on earth), it would poke a hole in the floor. |

Fascinating, from a socialogical perspective. A youtube going 'toe-to-toe' with an MIT titan over fundamental laws of physics.

Some of it is semantic, but it's still important because it is dealing with fundamental things that are either true or not, . . . or whether we fully understand them or not. It goes to an anomaly that requires a great deal of rigor to fully comprehend and communicate, and both sides are well represented. This is new avenue for 'peer review' interesting in that aspect alone. |
So simple, elegant, beautiful, compact, succinct, insightful . . .
