Can't See the Trees for the Forrest
Monday May 5th, 2006. This is show # 96.
Summary:
* Retired computer engineer Bob Ball from IN confirmed NASA's serious, though unnecessary, concern in the 60s of too much moon dust, which concern was promoted by Dr. Thomas Gold himself, the very man our caller Forrest had spoken to claiming that NASA had no such concern, especially not when they designed the Lunar Lander!
* So Forrest the atheist called in for more, and did not accept Bob Ball's report that Dr. Thomas Gold was the very astronomer who most promoted the unnecessary dust concern .
* Darrell of Goshen put the nail in the coffin of Forrest's doubt by quoting NASA's own website which states, "astronomer Thomas Gold asserted, however, that the apparently smooth areas on the moon were likely to be covered with a layer of fine dust several meters thick, raising the prospect that the lunar module might sink out of sight."
* NASA's own historical account concludes EXACTLY as Bob has been surmising on the air, ABSOLUTELY REFUTING FORREST'S FIRST SPECIFIC CRITICISM OF BOB, that the: "Spacecraft engineers at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center, meanwhile, in spite of their real need for this information [how much dust] in designing the lunar landing module, had to go ahead without it." So as we suspected, the fear of deep moon dust was still in the minds of the engineers when they designed the Lunar Lander's feet, and NASA's own website falsifies Forrest's version of Dr. Gold's dusty past.
* Indiana Senate candidate Greg Walker opposes abortion and supports flogging for criminals! (Note: To find the flogging link, go to the "search" feature on that site and type in "flogging." The article should be the very 1st link listed.)
* Today's Resource: If you like science, you'll LOVE reading Bob Enyart's all-time favorite science book, Dr. Walt Brown's In the Beginning (or your money back)!
