Why do astronauts on board ISS float around

I know you I want to be special and be the only person knowing real physics, so you I create your my made up simple bullshit physics.

This is the insides of the service module. I don't see much in the line of fuel.

So, you are saying that once it leaves the moon the inertia will carry it 238,900 mi. to earth

and how do they steer this thing towards earth?

It doesn't show any rockets to steer it by.

Careful design, planning, and execution. They had very good rocket scientists and aerospace engineers working on it, and a well-trained crew aboard.

But what keeps it from wobbling when it enters earth's atmosphere. It stays at the perfect angle as it is coming in

and the shield is hot enough to melt butter and then it deploys parachutes for a soft landing in the water and then it deploys a tubular life raft around the thing to keep it from sinking. Like this picture shows.
 
My question is, where do they keep this inflatable raft so it doesn't get burned up? You can see it is attached right at the part that is going to get pretty darn hot.

Im sorry but physics isn't simple, I know you want to be special and be the only person knowing real physics, so you create your made up simple physics. But thats no how the real world works. Again, I sorry.

That is how the real world works. The world works in simple ways. It's just made into gobbledegook so people cannot fathom just how simple it is.

The bullshit is what keeps the elites from the downtrodden. The tricksters who ask you which cup the ball is in and show you how easy it is to pick, until you pick the empty cup.
Manipulation and sleight of hand.
Stand back and take your time to decipher the bullshit then the sleight of hand and you start to see the pattern.

If you want 1+1 to equal 2 then have a reason for it to do that. If you find that 1+1 does not equal 2 according to a physics professor, then ask yourself if there's a physical end product to that calculation. If you find there is only a theory as an end product, then discard it and stick to the reality which can be physically calculated.

Fixed.

Such wisdom. You are truly a beacon of intelligence.

it would readily melt aluminium

You can't 'understand' pseudo-science.

Its bull shit and you know it is.

I won't attempt to add to Alpha2Omega's comment, but just on what seems to be the understatement of the year!

Yendor comments "and the shield is hot enough to melt butter", well he could have looked up a little info himself!
It would not just melt butter, it would readily melt aluminium and probably melt brass!  The heat shield gets bright red hot!
But this whole line of questioning here comes down again to the implication "I don't understand it, so it must be a fake!".  For heavens sake do a little work and get to understand this stuff.

The circle around the earth is a circular orbit, the path between the earth and moon is a section of an elliptical curve around the earth, untill near the moon, when the rocket changes it's trajectory to a elliptic orbit around the moon, which is then stabilized to a circular orbit around the moon.

Forget around the moon.

I want to know about the slight bend in the penis before we even reach the balls.
I need to know how the rocket does a one and a half turn around the bell end to then bend along the shaft on the penis to the moon balls.

Are you retarded?

Have you never heard of, 'Being  Facetious'.

Of course I know how hot the damn thing gets. I thought everyone one here knew, I guess some don't.

You can't. It's where they're going, remember?

I knew we'd end up with the juvenile description sooner or later. Thanks, sceptimatic; you seldom disappoint! Are you really in junior high, middle school, or whatever it is they call the grades attended by tweens and early adolescents where you live? Or did you just never mature past that stage of life?

Wait... didn't you ask us to forget about the m-word?

The other side probably can't use Google.

I'd prefer any one of them to explain it to me as if I was a child and at least by doing that we can determine how it all  worked.

I didn't think you'd even heard of it considering the questions you ask and how easily the answers are found on it.

Why?  Every time we've explained things to you at a 'child's level', you still basically say "I still don't get it."

there's a reason that the term "rocket science" is used to describe something very difficult to understand.

Not a bad attempt at swerving the issue but the questions are still there to be answered.

The TLI burn of the S-IVB put the craft in an elliptical orbit that intersects the Moon's orbit (lower left part of your diagram).  As it nears the Moon, this orbit is perturbed by the Moon's gravity

If you can't do it then that's fine. If no one else can, then that's fine again because it means there's a good reason. It means the so called science behind it all, is bullshit.

The red path is the orbit before the burn, the orange path is afterwards. That orange path is an ellipical orbit.

Scepti, the most basic concepts are generally easy enough for a child to understand, however real world applications are often far beyond a child's level of understanding.  Again, there's a reason that the term "rocket science" is used to describe something very difficult to understand.

There's also a reason why basic logic outweighs basic bullshit. There's a reason why simplistic reasoning far outweighs nonsensical fantasy.

The only reason why many things are made so complicated to understand for people is because the populace has to be separated into classes so the slaves can be repetitive in serving the masters and are bred to DO - not to think.

Wow.  What utter hogwash.  The reason that many thing are made so complicated to understand is because the closer you look, the more complicated they are.  For example, in principle, starting a car's engine is very simple -  turn the key and it starts.  But what's happening when you turn the key?  Well, turning the key turns activates a whole sequence of events that need to happen in order to start the engine.  If you look deeper, each of those events requires more things to happen and so on.  Most people don't really care what happens when they turn the key so long as the engine starts.  Does that mean that they're slaves to the auto industry masters?

Same thing with floating in orbit.  The principle is fairly simple, but the closer you look, the more complexity you run into.
