The manned trips to the moon have already been described in the relevant mission reports.
ROTFL! Do you believe them?
Like I've said a number of times, you will never accept any evidence that proves you wrong, so why should anyone bother with your so called "challenges"?
? I just organize Challenges. Nobody has provided any evidence to the contrary.
There are mission reports that describe the hardware and fuel used. There are many hours of videos and thousands of photographs taken by the astronauts in space. There lunar samples analyzed by numerous independent labs. There are several retroreflectors left behind by astronauts that are still being used for highly precise lunar ranging measurements. How much more evidence do you need?
Hm, all mission reports, photos, videos, etc. are falsifications. I show it at http://heiwaco.com/moontravel1.htm . Even a twerp should realize it 2018.
I don't need any more evidence.
Right, because there is no evidence that can change your mind. So why even bother with your "challenges"?
But topic is completely different - describe a trip to the Moon and back using today's technology and associated fuel consumption.
1969 a lot was (not) done manually by the asstronuts.
2018 all should be automatic (by computers and robots). Any humans aboard have nothing to do but watch through the window and visit the toilet. To win my Challenge, you also have to explain the latter.
And of course the whole purpose of the trip.
Are you sure that you even know the rules of your own challenge? It seems that the rules change every time that you explain it. That is a classic definition of "moving the goal posts".
No, I don't change the rules by highlighting some parts of them.
http://heiwaco.com/chall2.htm .
And why should I change the rules?
An application to collect my €1M should include
1. Description of spacecraft/mass (kg) without fuel.
2. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/altitude (m) of spacecraft with fuel in a suitable parking orbit of Earth (ready to go) and how it got there!
To travel in space you need fuel. And that fuel comes from Earth. The first little part Challenge is to establish how you get the fuel with you!
3. Location/time/date/direction leaving Earth parking orbit and force (N) applied/duration (s) of force applied and fuel used (kg) for the initial trans-location X- injection.
Maybe a slow Hohmann transfer is used but any trajectory to proceed to location X is permitted. Location X is where the influence of Moon/Mars gravity equals Earth gravity in space. Ensure that the escape velocity from Earth is correct so you can arrive at location X.
4. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/direction of spacecraft/fuel after leaving orbit Earth and after cutting off the force heading for location X in space, and on to landing on Moon/ Mars + calculations of location X.
Or simply - how much fuel (kg) is required to leave orbit Earth going to Moon/Mars?
5. Location/time/date/velocity (m/s)/direction at arrival location X.
6. Mass (kg) at arrival location X.
7. Location/time/date/direction leaving trajectory to X/Moon/Mars and force(s) (N) applied/duration (s) of force(s) applied to enter orbit/land on Moon/Mars, fuel (kg) used for and time of landing.
This is critical. You have initially been orbiting Earth but now you intend to orbit Moon/Mars before landing. Do you have the fuel for it? Part of the spacecraft/fuel may of course be left in orbit Moon/Mars and you just take a small landing spacecraft to land/piss on the Moon/Mars. It is your choice.
If you manage to do 3-7 correctly you have left one orbit around Earth for another orbit around Moon or Mars and then left the latter orbit to land. An orbit is the path followed by one heavenly body, e.g. a planet, a moon or an artificial spacecraft around another planet, moon or Sun without any power used. If the orbit is circular, the local orbital tangential velocity (m/s), the change of direction (°/s) and the gravity (inwards) and centrifugal (outwards) forces (N) are constant and in balance. If the orbit is elliptical, which is the normal case, the orbital, tangential speed, change of direction and gravity/centrifugal forces are variable and greater, when the distance between the bodies is smaller, but they are always in balance. The position/tangential speed/change of direction of a body in orbit can be determined. It appears that space travel is simply to move from one orbit to another orbit and to/from the heavenly bodies being orbited ... and your task is to show how you do it! And it is simple - at the right time/location in EPO you fire your rocket/apply your force so that your spacecraft arrives at the Moon or Mars without further forces applied.
8. Mass (kg) of spacecraft/fuel on solid Moon/Mars.
9. Force (N) applied/duration (s) of force applied, fuel used (kg) for departure and time/date of departure Moon/Mars.
Explain also in detail how you can land anywhere and then just blast off from where you were to get back in space!
10. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/direction of spacecraft/fuel after departure Moon/Mars heading for location X in space and on to Earth + calculations. Fuel used (kg).
11. Location/time/date/velocity (m/s)/direction at location X.
12. Trajectories - locations/times in space at regular intervals to/from Moon/Mars to confirm that you are heading in the right directions.
13. Mass (kg)/speed (m/s)/direction, time/date of spacecraft just prior re-entry Earth.
14. Trajectory/velocity of re-entry, incl. times, start location (position/altitude), directions in 3D, altitudes, velocities in 3D every minute from start to end (parachutes deployed). Note: Arriving from the Moon means that you drop free fall onto Earth for a couple of days and arrival speed at top of atmosphere for re-entry will be >11 000 m/s. Arriving from planet Mars means that you drop free fall onto Earth for a couple of weeks and arrival speed at top of atmosphere for re-entry will be >21 000 m/s. The re-entry brake system must be 3.65 times stronger returning from Mars than from the Moon.
Alternatively you will crash or you will miss Earth completely. Re-entry at >21 000 m/s velocity is not easy.
15. Landing (details).
Manoeuvres to leave/enter orbits and to land/depart, forces applied and their directions and durations must be explained in detail incl. locations/times, etc. Costs need not be considered. Just calculate the trajectories, the forces (N) applied and the fuel (kg) used. Ensure that you can carry the fuel with you from the beginning and that you do not get too heavy. Ensure also that you can really do a re-entry and establish the re-entry trajectory beforehand.
16. Miscellaneous Make a short description of the accommodation, sanitary and safety facilities, restaurants, lectures and entertainment aboard your spacecraft to keep the officers, crew and passengers happy during the trip, etc. Maybe external space walks cheer up the passengers?
I assume using 2018 technology everything will done by computers with any persons aboard just watching and waiting. I of course doubt it can be done and that one problem is the fuel.
But ... doesn't a manned trip to Moon/Mars sound boring? Only a twerp could find it funny and exciting.
