But what we can see quite clearly demonstrated, above, is that you don't actually understand the numbers you're playing with. And that you still...

The Altitude Factor calculation is given on the CRaTER algorithms pages, under the "Dose Rates" tab. The relevant page doesn't have a unique URL, so...

Removing the altitude correction simply shifts the reading back to about 100km above the moon's surface, the altitude of LRO's orbit. This shows the...

Nope. How many times do I need to point it out? Grant Hutchison

So I see a table of hourly dose rates, corrected for the lunar surface, for 1 and 2 Feb 2019. Nothing there is relevant to your purported cis-lunar...

And the source for that number ...? Grant Hutchison

Nope. CRaTER doesn't work the way you seem to think it works, but I'm not going to give you a tutorial on that, too. I'll simply repeat that the...

Flimsies were a real thing--they were the thin sheets of paper you interleaved with carbon paper in order to produce multiple copies using a...

Particularly since you recently claimed:By introducing those graphs, you've just blown your excuse for not responding to Clanger's questions...

And a big chunk of the rest of northeast England. There's often a slight difference in pronunciation--the singular "us" is uzz, the plural "us" is...

And, still on the topic of secondary radiation, we know that the Apollo dosimeters had a fairly limited detection range for neutrons. Another reason...

Which has significance recently pointed out by the second author on the Chang'E-4 paper:(my bold) Grant Hutchison

It's an important consideration, isn't it? Moon dust will stop emitting secondary neutrons and gammas as soon as you take it out from under the sky...

Yes, we've all seen this. Several times already. It's entirely non-contributory to your claims, however. Grant Hutchison

Doesn't ring a bell, sorry. Of the several reasons you don't use a Hohmann to get to the moon, one is because of ... well, the moon. Hohmanns are...

FYI: None of the Apollo orbits were Hohmann orbits. Grant Hutchison

What he said.^ I'd also point out that Lord Foul hasn't even compared like with like to the minimal extent of matching proton energies. There's no...

You're funny.:lol: Since I haven't noticed an answer to any of them so far, I'm interpreting that statement as a roundabout way of saying, "I have...

Utterly. Beyond. Belief. That "really good" article is the basis for the set of calculations that you recently dismissed as:Do you ever read any...

See my diagrams. That's exactly how it worked. Grant Hutchison

You don't launch a rocket to the west on a planet rotating to the east, unless you want to use an unfeasible quantity of fuel. Any launch azimuth...

Actually, the location of Kennedy is really important, because it sets limits on the inclination of the orbit to the geomagnetic equator. Which was...

Here's a diagram of the situation. Vantage point over the Pacific, with Cape Kennedy on the eastern limb: Here's a view of the ecliptic, lunar...

Glad it's of interest. :) Grant Hutchison

Well, I noticed. Thanks. :) It's very interesting, and I'm trying to get my head around it. It raises the issue that the specific manner in which...

Wrong on two counts. And yet entirely consistent with the Apollo trajectory and the distribution of radiation in the VAB. Do you have anything...

If it helps, I have some diagrams in my little article How Apollo Got To The Moon which illustrate the key concepts here. Grant Hutchison

I'm thinking (because it is true) that the moon blocks GCR. And within that part of the sky occupied by the moon, the GCR is replaced by radiation...

I say you have provided no measurement of the dose rate in cislunar space contemporaneous with the Chang'E-4 surface reading, and the LRO reading...

There does indeed seem to be a bit of confusion. Read the words in LEARN MORE, which I quoted earlier. They're really clear. Grant Hutchison
