They call Heiwa a crank.
Just possible because he is?

Maybe you should read it and find out?

Quote from: Shifter
Antimatter can get us to the Moon and back again.

Sure but we don't have more than a trace of antimatter as yet, though I've used a tiny bit.
And we don't need anti-matter to get people to the moon nor spacecraft anywhere in the solar system.

Even nuclear-powered rockets might do better than chemical rockets but people seem fussy about all that radioactive stuff spread around on a launch failure.

Long missions sometimes use nuclear "batteries" and at least one has crashed causing a bit of panic: 1968 Satellite Launch Failure Dropped Nuclear Batteries into Californian Waters.

Imagine the result is an anti-matter spacecraft crashed!

Quote from: Shifter
The tricky bit is not even in its production or storage. Those will be figured out long before its use in safely accelerating space craft.

Think of a motorbike accelerator. It's like twisting the handle a poofteenth of a mm and near instantly riding faster than a plane at full speed.

These fragile bags of water, bones and a few other chemicals, are what limits the acceleration of some manned space flights now.

http://heiwaco.tripod.com/moontravelw1.htm#18 describes the first human orbiting Earth in space back in 1961. Many people thought it was fantastic but it was just stupid Fake News and propaganda. Gagarin never flew in space! One problem is to return and land on Earth. Gagarin decided to jump out from his space craft and use a parachute even if the space craft landed intact not far away.

Well if the required amount of fuel has been published why have they not gone to Heiwa to cash in 1 million euros? My guess is that their published results are wrong
Those fuel calculations were made probably 40 years or so before Anders issued his silly "challenge", but even if they did go to Anders, he would have just said that they're wrong like he's been saying all along.

In time we will be able to use and control anti matter and that is the fuel which will be the first to bring us to the moon and back because the weight of the fuel required would be less than the spare change in your pocket. The challenge would be controlling the rate of antimatter being used because 1 gram of matter and 1 gram of antimatter can release 1.8Χ1014 joules. if your not careful the rocket will explode in a gigantic explosion or you will smash into your target at millions of kilometers per hour.
You keep saying that the amount of chemical fuel is required is too great to get to the moon and back, yet you don't explain why you think that's true.  By far the greatest fuel requirement is just to get into LEO.  There are several heavy lift boosters capable of putting 20 tons or more into LEO.  One of the early proposals was to launch and assemble several components of a moon lander in LEO.  Why is this not a viable option in your mind?

Sorry. I agree that it is correct that to get to the Moon/Mars (topic) you must first get into LEO. But then? Topic!

How do you get out of LEO to go to the Moon/Mars?

You start a new orbit?

How?

How?

And how much fuel?

Topic?

Please, do not suggest that some computer will do it.

To win my Challenge you must know before departing into LEO how much fuel is required.

And that fuel must be taken aboard at departure.

Lift off!!

IMHO you are too heavy to lift off.

The law of diminishing returns. The fuel weighs too much. Keeping enough fuel on board to slow down to land on the Moon. Enough fuel to take off from the Moon and then enough fuel to slow down to land back on Earth. We have launched things into outer space but the Moon and back is a feat not accomplished - yet.

Think about this. Weigh the lint that's in your pocket (pocket fluff). If you had that weight in matter/antimatter you could go to the Moon. The trip that went to the Moon supposedly used ~1.2 million litres of fuel. And we are led to believe they landed on the moon with mere 'seconds' of fuel left in the tank.  ::)

I think that you might be making the mistake of assuming single stage to the moon and back.  There's a reason that the Saturn V was a 3 stage rocket.  There's a reason why the lunar module was a 2 stage rocket.  There's a reason why there was a lunar module in the first place.  It's because if you can break down the mission into smaller chunks, then you can use smaller components where it matters and bring the overall mass, and subsequent fuel requirements down to more manageable levels.

It was the Belgian reporter Tintin that visited the Moon 1953 with his single stage, atomic engine rocket. NASA did the same 1969 using a three stage, liquid fuel rocket, the third stage of which just arrived in LEO. The two first stages dropped down on Earth. In LEO the third stage rocket engine was fired to catapult the Apollo 11 space craft to the Moon, where it first entered a lunar orbit, then landed for a quick look/piss, then took off to enter lunar orbit again, then left lunar orbit and dropped all the way back to Earth, where it finally landed safely with empty fuel tanks. Topic is to calculate the fuel required by spacecraft Apollo 11 for the Moon trip - see post #1.

Pfft.  The Baltimore Gun Club built a giant cannon and shot a capsule with 3 men to the moon sometime around 1865.

Yes, but the Americans forgot how to get back to Baltimore from the Moon. No, Tintin got to the Moon back in 1953, unloaded a heavy tank to drive around - Tintin expected an armored PANZER attack by the Moonies - but found little of interest and decided to return to Belgium. It was easy - just step on the accelerator and the atomic engine provides the right force. The NASA thermal nuclear rocket engine is around since 2006 - http://heiwaco.com/moontravelw2.htm#126 .

That's already been done, first of all by NASA - ever heard of them?

Here is a detailed review of all that you didn't want to know about the Apollo missions, including details of actual fuel usage, some nice bedtime reading:
APOLLO BY THE NUMBERS - A Statistical Reference by Richard W. Orloff - SP-4029.pdf. It's a bit long at 344 pages.

If you disagree with the fuel usage please show your calculations for same.

Yes, I disagree with the NASA reports as described at http://heiwaco.com/moontravel1.htm which is the reason for the topic.

Any space exploration is IMHO best done by light weight robotic space crafts on one way trips. No need to send heavy, stupid humans into space that require food and sanitary facilities, etc.

You can't even understand things like:

         "The Oberth effect or powered fly-by assist" or
         "atmospheric re-entry"!
And seem to have great trouble with Hohmann transfer orbit's.

There are some things that humans on the spot can do that uncrewed missions cannot but in general I agree that "space exploration is best done by light weight robotic space crafts on one way trips".
 
That, however, is no reason to claim that crewed space flights are not possible nor that they never happened.

Hm, "gravitational slingshot or unpowered gravity assist manoeuvre", "the Oberth effect or powered fly-by assist" or          "atmospheric re-entry" are just typical NASA nonsense.

Hohmann transfer orbit's are maybe possible, but why would anyone do them?

Topics are how much fuel a human needs to fly to the Moon or Mars and why this idiot have to fly there. Much easier to use robots, etc.

And re-entry is always impossible. The Earth atmosphere is too shallow and thin to stop anything dropping down from space. 99.99% burns up within seconds and little debris touches gorund or water.

No, my Challenge is won when anyone tells me how much fuel to fly to the Moon is required. Lying Americans saying they did it is not enough. I asked them about the toilet! They went to the Moon without visiting the toilet.
