Moon Landing

Tang shares! DUH!

But Tang was supposed to have been developed as a result of the research into the moon-landing effort (goes the popular but untrue theory). So … if we didn’t land on the moon, we didn’t need to develop Tang. Why drum up a hoax to increase sales of a product we never needed to invent?

Of course, Tang was around since the 1950s, and it wasn’t invented by NASA. So how does this conspiracy tie into General Foods?

Fools! Of course no one landed on the moon, because the moon does not exist!

That’s crazy talk. Everyone knows, the moon is close to us. That’s why we like it.

Someone said, in one of the previous thread about this, that they should pass a law making it legal for anyone who’s actually been to the Moon to punch Bart Sibrel whenever he’s within arm’s reach.

Volume!

And mass. But apparently not gravity.

How is this thread still alive? We’re really taking this guy seriously (Ok, I’ve looked through the other posts and seen that, for the most part, we’re not. But, don’t these types of threads usually get shut down?) How is this even a real question? I’m not being silly, here I’m really curious.

What intense cold? Only something with mass can have a temperature. No atmosphere, no mass; no temperature, no cold.

If there are people in the thread taking the question seriously, I would welcome your pointing them out. :wink:

The “temperature of outer space” is pretty well understood to be the temperature something would reach at thermal equilibrium. Due to the microwave background radiation, that’s about 4 K. But your penis wouldn’t radiate enough heat away to cause harm in the time it takes to pee.

This being the SDMB, I feel I must initiate the normal dick-measuring contest by just letting you know that I can pee on the moon, from here.

Hmm… that’s an awful lot of people providing confirmation. Perhaps too many people. Why the need for so much confirmation? Methinks the gov’t’s proxy agents did protest too much.

That’s why I also said this:

Because it’s fun to point and laugh?

Dude, it’s a friendly thread. There’s no call to go making fun of the size of xtisme’s johnson.

Not me.

Gotta back up a bit.

The surface of the moon is between 100 and 400 K, considerably warmer then outer space.

That explains the sudden but brief weight loss.

Did we really not pee on the Moon? I find that somewhat hard to believe. Astronauts working on the Moon’s surface would need to stay hydrated. They surely wouldn’t avoid drinking before they landed, would they? I seem to recall that the suits were catheterized for convenience in this matter. And there’d be no point in hauling any of that stuff back into orbit; every liter of astronaut urine would be one less kilogram of moon rocks to haul back. So unless there was some explicit regulation in place about NOT contaminating the Moon by peeing on it, all that material must have been jettisoned from the lander before liftoff. Therefore it seems very likely to me that our astronauts did indeed successfully pee on the Moon.
