So, how did they manage “deep space” for the moon landings? Evidently they didn’t.

That article really puts the weight of an adult African elephant into perspective.

All framed by the Saturn 5 to show how it used to be done.

SLS
Billion$ over budget.
Years overdue.
NASA as a bureaucracy at it’s “best”.
The launch platform cost over a billion $ and will be used - once.
NASA at its most wasteful.

Correct. There is no such thing as engine thrust in an absolute vacuum.

Please elaborate? Mass is mass and its inertia must be overcome for it to be moved along, regardless of atmosphere, no?

Screw Stennis. They stopped us from shooting in the buffer zone a few years back and it was an awesome place to shoot. People had been shooting there for 30 plus years!

"a whopping 8 million lbs. of total thrust"
How much is that in Rosie O'Donnells?
To: SargeK
Not sure how that works in the absence of air or air molecules...in an absolute vacuum.

Yes, they did. Besides, the moon is not “deep space”. Pluto is deep space.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction kind of thing...the combustion takes place in a chamber, nozzle directs the thrust and the spacecraft goes the other way.
No air needed. It can take place in an absolute vacuum.

Correct. There is no such thing as engine thrust in an absolute vacuum. Do you think a rifle, fired in an "absolute vacuum" (which space isn't) would recoil? Why not?
If your answer is "yes," a rocket works by precisely the same physical phenomenon.

“Correct. There is no such thing as engine thrust in an absolute vacuum”
I assume that is in jest.
To: Sontagged
"There is no such thing as engine thrust in an absolute vacuum." How would you explain our spacecraft and planetary probes reaching the moon (and back) and other planets in our solar system-- pure inertia?

You’re correct. My son the aerospace engineer and I were discussing this yesterday

I watched that a day or so ago, or started to. Finished a 12 oz beverage. Still roaring along. Switched to a different vid. :^)
