I questioned heat loss in a vacuum - THAT'S IT.

A great thermos bottle filled with scalding hot coffee will cool off in time. So did the capsule.

All of the heat the scalding coffee has is what it starts with - it can't do anything else BUT cool off. Human beings continually generate heat. If the heat generation is even a little bit greater than the cooling, the environment will just keep getting hotter.

So it depends, in the case of Apollo 13, on the passive cooling technology rates, and that's ALL I've asked about here. What is really fascinating about this thread is the massive amounts of continual personal abuse I've received for asking the question. Over the top by any measure, certainly not allowable on any other thread.

But question NASA, and suddenly the knives come out.

I say there's your answer about Apollo 13 right there. Maybe NASA should upgrade its shill quality instead of focusing on Muslim outreach so much. Or maybe these idiot shills ARE the Muslims outreach program. After all, they display all the maniacal ferocity and intent to destroy that is constantly on display by Islam. So is that NASA's new Islamic-style policy - believe or be destroyed?
