Does Mr Yu believe man went to the moon

Dear Mr Yu:
It would seem that "belief" is being substituted for "fact".

NOBODY EVER SAW THE DESCENT CAPABILITIES OF LUNAR MODULE ON EARTH; THEREFORE, NOBODY WAS CERTAIN THAT LUNAR MODULE’S ROCKET ENGINE COULD DO THE JOB WHILE ON THE LUNAR ORBIT.


If that claim is true than you're calling the astronauts of Apollo 9 & 10 liars. It was tested in earth orbit and in lunar orbit. They were certain of the LMs decent modules engine and its capabilities. The population of Las Cruces New Mexico saw and heard the engine being tested on the ground. And the engineers who designed it were more than sure of what it could do. The employees of Grumman saw the engine tested at full power.

… NASA had to conduct numerously rigorous experiments and tests on Earth before the Apollo missions to make sure that LM’s rocket engine could do the job

then you go on to say in another post....

The Lunar-Module was NOT fully tested.

Some components were designed only to function as intended in a 1/6 gravity field. If the ladder had been used as a ladder on earth it would have collapsed under the weight of a person. This measure was to save weight and add fuel

If you read the book Chariots Of Fire: The Untold Story Behind The Race To The Moon by Charles Pellegrino and Joshua Stoff you would read that extensive testing was done.
Scientists,engineers,astronauts, and civilians all took part in the testing.


Your reasoning is flawed, your facts are distorted and skewed, and the information you have provided is one sided. For some 37 years most people on this earth have believed that humans traveled to the moon. What "proof" do you have that they did not. Will this "proof" change the minds of an entire planets population ? Is what you have a belief or a bona fide fact ?

Some I think the burden of proof falls upon NASA, not people who make such allegations.

For 37 NASA has provided proof of what they said they would, and utimately did do. I think it more than time for you to provide the "proof" you have.
...Roger, and the clock is ticking.

I locked this thread because it only encourages hyu2004 to double post the same message. Plus, one thread on this topic is enough.
