Hokey Pokey,

I have read all the works of the people you have mentioned (Percy, Rene, Kaysing and Sibriel), except Ralph Rene. I'm not going to shell out that kind of money. I've also read Dark Moon by Percy and Bennett. I have never seen a thing that convinces in the slightest that the moon landings were a hoax. In fact, I'm more convinced than ever that the moon landings happened.

As most regular posters know (and I'm sure many trolls do to), I have about 20 years of experience in heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics and not as some manager, but as a researcher, designer and analyst. Any moon hoax argument I have ever read, or seen related to anyone of these topics (blast crater, space suits, etc) has shown me that these authors no nothing about heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. In some cases, the stuff that they present violates well established laws (200 years, well before the moon landing) of thermodynamics, like the first law of thermodynamics. I find impossible to believe that some like David Percy who does not have any sort of scientific or technical background, could rewrite thermodynamics as we know it.

I also depise Bill Kaysing. Here is a man who states that the Challenger was destroyed by NASA to keep Christa McAuliffe from saying that she could see stars from space. Since I live in Houston, I've attended several public events to welcome back the Space Shuttle crews. At almost everyone of these events, some child asks "What do the stars look like from space or can you see stars from space" Each time the answer is the same, yes you can see stars from space, but they don't twinkle. These events are usually well attended, a couple of thousands people and since it's very local news, it is attended by all the news crews, which inturn broadcast to the city of Houston which is several millions. Sometimes these events are broadcast nationwide and worldwide on CNN and Foxnews, so the potential viewing audience is millions. NASA has never been afraid to say "You can see stars from space" Read some the Apollo era astronauts autobiographies and they even state they can see stars.

So you got a HB saying NASA killed people to keep someone quite for saying "You can see stars from space," but you got numerous NASA astronauts saying "You can see stars from space"

I give you this challenge, provide me a thermal analysis of the formation of the blast crater or something a bit easier, the thermal analysis of the Hassalblad camera (the HB claim is that it gets too hot or too cold and damages the film) that proves NASA is lying. A link to a website is fine too. The last two HBs to post here never could do it and totally avoid this topic. If you can, I'll publically apolgize to you and the moon hoax community and join your cause.

P.S. I don't just want some hand waving argument, I want numbers.
