No, the Apollo 13 damage was done while they were already on their way. They got all the way to the moon, but they couldn't land cuz they wouldn't have had enough oxygen for the return trip if they did.

Just keep believing whatever you want, continuing special ed classes, and taking your medications.

DickHertz

I don't even know that there is a point in all that nonsense. You mother should have aborted you. Did she have any non-retarded children?

DickHertz

Yeah because there is no weather on the moon you stupid fuck. Jesus Christ you must be a troll because nobody can be so stupid.

DickHertz

You are an idiot. You realize other countries have now overflown the sites with orbiters and number of times since the and taken pictures. In 2015 you have to be willfully ignorant to hold on this childish theory that we never went to the moon.

DickHertz

More than anything you have said so far. You might as well have lived in the Stone Age.

They didn't have 100% success. The first iteration, Gemini, had its first casualties from a fire in the cabin and doors that opened inward. Lost 3 in training.

Then of course Apollo 13, whose ship was badly damaged after an O2 line leaked into and short circuited some shit. They had to skip the moon entirely and barely made it back to Earth. So no, perfect or 100 cannot be applied. There may be other marks to the Apollo missions, but those are the big ones.

DickHertz

It isn't a tremendous problem unless you intend to stay outside of it for a long period of time without shielding.

DickHertz

Here's another: you're a fucking idiot

DickHertz

Or just fucking...you know... pick up a goddamn book. If you didn't know about the mirrors than you really don't know shit about the project and your 'research' is a joke. Did you get kicked in the head by horse growing up or something?

You don't need mirrors on the moon to bounce a signal or a laser. The moon surface itself is reflective enough. Communication Moon Relay 1950

DickHertz

Where do you see anything about reflecting a laser beam in this article you've provided?

Another nitwit who knows zero about science.

Zinnsee

Visible light is one type of electromagnetic radiation ; other familiar forms are invisible electromagnetic radiations, such as radio waves , infrared light and X rays.

But maybe this little thought experiment is easier understandable for you: If you point a laserpointer onto a wall, why do you see the red dot when there is no mirror on the wall? Could it be that the wall itself is reflective? Hmm but this would mean that the moon would also reflect light from other light sources. But can this be true? Let's see is there a light source close enough to the moon to prove this? Well luckily there is, we call it the sun. Does the moon reflect light from the sun even if there are no mirrors on the moon? Well I'll be damned it does, because otherwise it would be kinda hard to even see that there is a moon.

DickHertz

Perhaps you should learn how many orders of magnitude difference in power between any laser we build where the beam further has to travel through the atmosphere to the moon and the sun. If you shine a laser on a wall you see a dot. Shine it into a mirror on the wall and without special glasses you are blind when the beam come straight back at you and smokes your retina.

It's not like they keep this shit a secret

Zinnsee

I don't get what's supposed to be your point in your rambling. But after looking into your comment history it's easy to see that you're just a troll and not really looking to educate yourself.

I still stand by my statement that you do not need a physical mirror on the moon to bounce electromagnetic radiation (like a laser) back to earth.

And BTW have you ever considered how difficult it would be to actually hit a mirror on the moon with a laser? A little comparison: A good marksman can hit the bullseye at 0.3km distance which is 10cm in diameter. The mirror on the moon is 61cm in diameter and the distance to the moon is about 385'000km. At 300meters the equivalent target size would be about 500nanometers (that's about 10'000 times smaller than the width of a human hair)! And to make it a little more challanging the target (moon) moves in the real world.

DickHertz

And how wide is the laser beam when it reaches the moon - fucking duh. Maybe you should educate yourself. Yes EM will bounce off the moon but you're not going to detect it by seeing dot. To make it less challenging we have a thing called mathematics. The experiment has been repeated many times. Try reading about it.

DickHertz

Nonsense.

OP is retarded and cannot comprehend English.
