The source isn't credible. No logical fallacy there. You have some brushing up to do on debating, son.

B-EZ - what is the temperature of sunlight in a vacuum/near vacuum?

What would you like it changed to?

Yeah, it's pretty disputable, to me.

For all intents and purposes, space is as near as necessary to a perfect vacuum: any gases suspended in it are in such miniscule quantities that they provide practically no thermal dissipation.

And what makes you think that's the only way heat can be rejected?

Compared to deep space, yes, very much so.

Then, by this "fact" how do you account for the temperature of the Earth? Why wouldn't it just keep getting hotter and hotter?

Not given the physics of heat transfer. It's pretty obvious you haven't read the thread you were referred to or the links provided there.

I don't think anyone else has asked this yet, and I do want to ask to put it on the record: Are you serious? Or are you just putting us on? In any event, this is a science board. If you want to discuss science, fine. This other stuff isn't even close to that.

37 minutes. How many Google pages deep so far, B-EZ? Hint - you'll do better searching this site

There are other places to look as well, I wonder if he will back in 2 hours time.

I'm guessing school just started so some people just got their internet access back.

Oh.My.Gosh.

B-EZ is right.

I can't believe I didn't see it before. It's as plain as the sun is bright, now.

Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hulk Hogan are taking over the world. We are all just puppets at their feet.

Why, oh WHY, didn't we see this coming, before it was too late?

Crud. Now I need to clean out my keyboard...

In Germany school did start yesterday....

Earth is an object in space, and areas of it are periodically exposed to sunlight 24/7.

How hot do those areas get?

There are even places that are for a longer time continuously exposed to sunlight.

How hot? This is a quantitative argument. Back it up with numbers.

Except act as a pretty good heat sink for radiative heat transfer. Why do you think the surface of the Moon gets so cold when not in sunlight.

Half their spacecraft was in direct sunlight, the other was pointed to the empty blackness of space. One side heats up while the other re-radiates that heat. How does this affect the equilibrium temperature?

Irrelevant if you can't show Apollo to be faked. Freemasonry doesn't automatically mean it was all fraud.

Or there would be if it actually happened then. The accident occurred at about 10pm EST, the 56th hour of the flight.

Again irrelevant without evidence of faking. Your appeal to a secret society fails because either you can know nothing in detail about what the Freemasons actually do or else you are a Freemason yourself. In either case we can dismiss your argument as uninformed or deliberate misinformation.

So, give us the answer to a simple question:

WHY, if indeed a spacecraft in direct sunlight would get unbearably hot, were the astronauts complaining of being cold? WHY would NASA be so inept as to mix up the two effects? HOW, if you are correct, has no-one else qualified in spacecraft design come forward and pointed out the incosistency? Construction details of the Apollo spacecraft are not hard to come by.
