Apollo Moon Landing Story Problems For Math and Science Dummies #MoonLandingHoax

Let Distance from Earth to Moon be ~200,000 miles

Let Circumference of the Earth be ~25,000 miles

Let "Escape velocity" of rocket be ~25,000 MPH (miles per hour)

Let Law of Conservation of Energy state that Energy can be neither created nor be destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another

Let Inverse-square state that a specified physical quantity or intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.

Let Gravity be a source for potential energy and obey the inverse square law.

Let "Lagrange Point" be points between Earth and Moon where the gravity of each Earth and Moon pulls on the rocket equally. A "hill crest" so to speak

1) Considering the gravity of Earth, in which relative direction would you say the Moon is to Earth? Up, Down, or Neither (Flat) ? A) Up

2) Considering mass of the Moon is about 1/6 that of Earth, would you expect Lagrange Points to be closer to Earth or closer to the Moon? A) closer to moon

3) Considering Law of Conservation of Energy, where would you expect rocket obtain energy required to increase the gravitational potential energy of the rocket? A) fuel

4) Would you expect to need to continuously use fuel in exchange for continuously increased gravitational potential energy of rocket all the way to Lagrange Point? A) yes

5) If the rocket orbited the Earth before heading up toward the moon, would you expect the distance traveled, and therefore fuel required, to increase? A) yes

6) Ignoring the alleged curvature of Earth, if you drop a bullet and shoot a bullet parallel to Earths surface at same time, which bullet will hit the Earth first? A) neither

7) Considering neither bullet hits the ground first, is it plausible that Earths gravity would affect rocket in motion less than a rocket at rest? A) no

8) If Satellites travel so fast that they "fall around" the Earth in an orbit, how would you expect a satellite to adjust its orbital altitude? A) by adjusting speed

9) Considering the gravity of the moon, would you expect to need to use fuel to travel uphill all the way back to a Lagrange Point when returning from moon? A) yes

10) Why is fuel supply on the Saturn V rocket so big? A) because gravity

11) To return lunar orbiter from its orbit around the moon to Lagrange Point, should fuel supply of orbiter be about 1/6th that of Saturn V rocket? A) thereabouts

12) Does lunar lander look like it could launch off of the moon, and intercept and dock with the lunar orbiter? A) not really

13) Have you ever tried to park a vehicle in a garage while driving at 3500 MPH? A) no

14) If the gravity of the moon can cause an ocean tide on Earth, and rising tide can lift all boats, would you expect moon's gravity to also affect a rocket on Earth? A) yes

15) If gravity of moon can affect a boat on Earth, would you expect gravity of Earth to affect a rocket all the way to the moon? A) yes

16) If rocket is traveling at 25,000 MPH, how far will rocket travel in 3 hours? A) 75,000 miles

17) If rocket is traveling at 25,000 MPH, and cuts its engines, would you expect rocket to "coast" uphill toward Lagrange Point for another hour? A) no

18) Considering the fact that there is no air in space, which would you say is a bigger challenge for rocket to overcome? gravity or air resistance A) gravity

19) Are you aware of any aircraft that can circumnavigate the Earth 4 times, while also increasing its altitude the entire time, without refueling? A) Youtube ISS hoax

20) Considering Inverse Square Law, is there any place between Earth and Moon where rocket is not affected by gravity of both the Earth and Moon? A) no

21) Considering Inverse Square Law and bullet experiment, is is possible to "escape gravity" anywhere between the Earth and Moon, regardless of speed of rocket? A) no

22) Considering the Moon itself cannot "escape gravity" of Earth, would it be plausible for a rocket to "escape gravity" anywhere between Earth and Moon? A) no

23) If the Moon is Up relative to Earth, is there always a gravitational "slope" of greater than zero as rocket approaches Lagrange Point? A) yes

24) Do you now see how a man going to the moon and back is as implausible as your grandpa walking to school and back, uphill all the way? A) yes
