NASA lied... there is no "cold" in space

When I first started reading the earlier NASA conspiracy thread, I didn't believe it. Now I have been reading more science and things are starting to make sense. The article stated that Space is a near vacuum. As such, with only a minute number of particles, there is no concept of "hot" or "cold" as there are few particles to get energized or de-energized which is the standard definition. The sun is hot and gives off energized particles which travel through space. Space doesn't care because it has no particles to get energized. Neil Armstrong DOES care because his spaceship HAS particles and they get nicely roasted. NASA claims this is not a big deal because the OTHER side of the spaceship is freezing because there is NO heat and then if they just slowly rotate it, it will always stay a reasonable temperature. HOWEVER, this is false. There is no "anti-Sun" which can "give off cold." Therefore the spaceship has two modes: super hot and fairly hot. Rotating it makes Mr. Armstrong just like a flame broiled whopper (cooked on both sides). They also argue that the "air conditioning" is bogus because you need something colder to exchange for the hotter and it is not possible to bring the amount of water needed to generate that sort of cooling onto the moon. I live right down the street from Moffat AFB where they have all the space stuff and do work on AstroBiology. I can stop by and check out some of the suits and stuff (parts are open to the public), but I want input from others. Is this correct? What do I look for? Should I take any pics of the suits and post them? What else is useful to check out? They did have a space capsule and the outer skin was about as thin or thinner than that of an airplane. I guess even minor radiation would penetrate it. If so, why have NONE of the astronauts come down with cancer or radiation sickness? Oh well, now I am a full blown conspiracy nut! __________________ Hey, don't believe everything you read. if there are no particals in space, the temp. would be 0 kelvin. but when there are particles in space, they will heat up from the sun, affecting the temprature to increase. since there is a minute amount of particles, it doesn't heat up much. There is much more than what i am saying, i am just too tired and i just kinda skimmed that chapter in the book. __________________ Let me be more argumentative... If you will let me state that a vacuum thermos and outer space are fairly similar, then I contend that space is NEITHER hot nor cold, but just keeps whatever is in it about the same. EXPANSION OF THE ABOVE: Put hot chocolate (of coffee) in vacuum thermos. Wait a while then drink a bit and reseal. Repeat. Observe that the heat loss is not very great while sealed in the thermos. This would indicate that either the thermos is heating the coffee or it is simply not accepting its heat (which would cool it). The next day, fill the thermos with ice cubes. Observe at various times that they barely melt. This would indicate that either the thermos is cooling the ice or is simply not adding heat (shielding it from the outside room which is warmer). Taken in combination, this means that the vacuum is NEITHER cold nor hot, but only the outside force affects it (but does not really affect the vacuum itself, just the objects inside) __________________ ...is you could be simultaneously roasting your front side whike freezing your ass off at the same time ;0) __________________ That is the OPPOSITE of what I was saying. I am saying that with nothing to cool off Neil Armstrong, he would be roasted on BOTH sides, just one a bit more toasty than the other. Now I am really beginning to question everything! What is the deal with the space suits? I mean the face mask is just glass with a thin layer of gold. Radiation would zap right through that puppy. I mean, here on earth we have an atmosphere and an ozone layer, but no such thing on the moon. Astronauts would have irradiated faces when they returned, but none did (because they were just on a Soundstage). Please convince me I am wrong and that we really did go into space. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by TheLoneGunman Please convince me I am wrong and that we really did go into space. ...is watch the Apollo Landing footage 47 times in a row repeating to yourself "look they landed on the moon" until you believe ;0) __________________ actually, it wasnt a sound stage but my backyard.....if u want i can send u the miniature land rovers and the fake footsteps __________________ There is one way too cool that you forgot. Ever use a compressed air can?? notice when you release the air the can gets damn cold. Well thats cause it takes heat from its surroundings when the pressure is lowered. This is one way to cool yourself down in space. Simply by releasing a previously compressed gas. __________________ ...and now I totally agree. Rodney was clearly throwing himself against the pavement and hurling his face into the batons of the police. It was all they could do to keep him from killing himself. __________________ Happo, I think you are on to something. They brought up a FOURTH astronaut on each mission. As the vacuum of space caused him to explode, the previously compressed gasses in his body served to cool down the remaining astronauts. I think this explains Buzz Aldrin's comment when asked about what it took to get to the moon and he said "3 fat guys filled with a lot of air"
