Read this. It explains the meaning of eccentricity, and how that is a completely independent orbital parameter from inclination. Here are my...

That's actually gibberish, in terms of celestial mechanics. You clearly don't understand the technical use of "inclination", or of "eccentricity", or...

Hmmm. You've suddenly developed an opinion of your own, I see, despite the earlier disclaimer that you are merely a conduit for unnamed experts. ...

And yet, when confronted by evidence that you've completely misunderstood the work of these experts, you suddenly decide that such "academic...

Memory is sometimes so odd. A couple of months ago I read a book about Wally Herbert's epic 464-day dog-sled crossing of the Arctic Ocean, Alaska to...

Yes, the evidence seems to support the "old friends" hypothesis (rather than the "hygiene hypothesis"), it's now said. We may be depriving children...

Yes, we know. People have referred to that limitation in-thread a couple of times. I first brought it up, supported by a reference, in post #8. It's...

Yes, the thing that has a genetic component is called atopy, the proclivity to develop allergic diseases. The word is a useful search term. Its...

Every aspect of this problem I've explored with you, I've caught you out in a fundamental gap or misapprehension in your knowledge--rocketry, orbital...

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...
