bigbrain---You are too idiot if you think that caricature of a plane can fly vertical. <br /><br />skyk---LOL!! It takes off and lands vertically and it already has!<br /><br />bigbrain---you are going to go to the moon with lunar module. <br /><br />sky---Not without a Saturn V rocket.<br /><br />bigbrain---What would intelligent people do before going there? <br /><br />sky---Rehearse on Earth and plant flags, drive vehicles, collect rocks, place mirrors to be used to reflect laser beams from Earth and other things like that after reaching the moon.<br /><br />bigbrain---They would test lunar module here, on the earth. <br /><br />sky---That's logical. You wouldn't wait to get to the moon to discover flaws in the components, however, the test modules were tested in space.<br /><br />bigbrain---Nasa buffoons have never tested lunar module on the earth. <br /><br />sky---Says who? The NASA hoax folks? They gotcha again, bigbrain!<br /><br />

Well, i posted it (Mass and velocity) like 20 minutes ago, but evidently you ignored it. As for the ejecta, it would be the same brightness as the comet, not brighter. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

"sky---LOL!! That's funny coming from you, the person who said that it was impossible for a rocket to land vertically despite the fact the Delta Clipper has already done so on multiple occasions. It proves that you don't know what you are talking about and you call other people "embeciles?!" Coming from you--a person who has no idea where he is at nor any idea what he is talking about--it doesn't mean a thing to me, especially from a person who can't find a pilot in the cockpit of an aircraft. It is like getting lost in a broom closet, you understand!" <br /><br />Delta Clipper is a game for stupid children. Do you really think it is possible to keep in hovering a rocket? <br /><br />Try to balance a coke can on your forefinger. <br /><br />They have the same difficulty to try to balance a rocket using engines as a brake. <br /><br />The rocket would fall down in any directions at 360 degrees because of gravity forces. <br /><br />Try to understand, it is not difficult. <br /><br /><br /><br />

ALP,<br /><br />I lost ou there for a minute, do you care to re-explain for me?<br /><br />We saw a bright light. If it's caused by kinetic energy, and not by oxygen igniting, which molecules were burning? Was it the ejecta that spread out while glowing hot? From friction? Friction againts what?

well, when you have enough small mirrors to fill a football field, they reflect the same, just as if you cut a 1ftx1ft peice of the football field mirror. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

<font color="yellow">VoteforNimitz - well, when you have enough small mirrors to fill a football field, they reflect the same, just as if you cut a 1ftx1ft peice of the football field mirror. </font><br /><br />Yup, and each particle of ejecta acts as a possible reflector/diffuser in regards to the light it receives from the Sun. If exposure was set for dim objects (ie: the relatively fainter stars in the background) and, all of a sudden, you had 5 times the amount of reflected light from the object in front of you available, wouldn't there be some exposure problems? Wouldn't you have to set your "shutter" to a higher speed, depending on the sensitivity of the film? Wouldn't the higher speed be counterproductive towards developing a good image of faint light, depending on the sensitivity of the film?<br /><br />Note: - I'm not a photography expert. (Although, long ago, I took some light formal training in photography and developing - B+W emulsion.) However, there are plenty of photo experts who have explained this before. I'd recommend taking a look around the "Moon Hoax" threads that bigbrain had going or do a google on "moon hoax no stars photo" or some such. I'm sure detailed information can be found there. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

<font color="yellow">arit - We saw a bright light. If it's caused by kinetic energy, and not by oxygen igniting, which molecules were burning? </font><br /><br />First, I'm not going to claim that all of the light observed was due to kinetic energy. To be honest, that would be impossible. It wouldn't just "hang around and glow" although a fireball (as in a nuke) may but that would require a sustained chemical reaction or the type of nuclear reactions present in stars. (Which I seriously doubt was obtainable through this impact.)<br /><br />Oxygen igniting? I am not aware of any data showing that there were any volatiles present in the spectral imaging of the ejecta. I'm sure there could have been but I haven't seen anyone talking about that yet. I've seen mention of "icy ejecta" but that's the limit of what I know about it at this moment. Certainly, some form of volatile is expected.<br /><br /><font color="yellow">arit - Was it the ejecta that spread out while glowing hot? From friction? Friction againts what? Please re-explain. </font><br /><br />I imagine that there was quite alot of heat generated from the kinetic reaction. I suppose it's possible some of that was still available in the material, for a short while, that was initially ejected. As far as "friction" goes, I don't think that friction between particles of ejecta is generating much energy at all atm. There could be some but I don't think that it is of any significance compared to the reflected light. The reflected light from the Sun by the ejecta plume is the main cause of Tempel 1's increased brightness.<br /><br />What I was trying to demonstrate in my post is that it is possible to gain photons from kinetic energy. A sufficient amount of kinetic energy can produce the energy necessary to excite electrons to release photons. Was there enough energy present in the impact to do this? Probably. In order to prove it, I'd have to do the math and I suck at it to be honest. Howev <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

It is you who don't understand the problem. The kinetic energy in joules released by the impact is one half the mass in kilograms multiplied by the square of the velocity in metres per second.<br /><br />For Deep Impact the impactor had a mass of 370 kg and a velocity of 10200 metres per second. Thus:<br /><br />0.5 X 370 X 104040000 = 19,247,400,000 joules<br /><br />This is equivalent to about 4.8 tonnes of TNT. This certainly produces a flash.<br /><br />Look at the problem another way. The comet is mainly water ice. Raising the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C requires 1 calorie, there are 4.1868 joules to a calorie. <br /><br />19247400000 joules is 4597162510.8 calories, 4597162510.8 calories is enough to raise 766194 grams of water - three quarters of a tonne - to 6000 degrees C, the temperature of the sun's surface. <br /><br />This is more than eough to produce a bright flash and large explosion.<br /><br />Jon<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

arit, now I see what you're asking.<br /><br />I dug up a very good page for you to explain exactly how and why electrons can emit photons. Keep in mind, a photon is just a unit of electromagnetic energy.<br /><br />Electrical Engineering<br /><br />Actually, this link is easier to read and understand than most that I found from physics sites.<br /><br />Basically, once an electron receives sufficient energy, it moves to an excited state in which an electron will advance to a permissable orbital. However, this is only temporary and unstable. The electron will constantly seek to reach the lowest possible energy level. It will emit a photon (unit of electromagnetic energy) to release the energy and return/regain it's previous stable orbital. Any energy below a threshold value will not react this way with the electron. So, there is always a specific minimal amount of energy required to excite the electron and get it to emit a photon. (I hope I explained that right.)<br /><br />In a nuclear fission explosion, photons constitute a great portion of the emitted energy. Highly excited electrons release a huge amount of photons. These photons, in turn, provide energy to heat the surrounding medium to hellish temperatures and cause all sorts of other nastiness as they impact the electrons of other materials. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

There are only theories.<br /><br />The true fact is that we still do not know how comet is made. There are only theories.<br /> <br />Is the nucleus of a comet made of ice? It is only a theory.<br /><br />At nasa.gov I have read this: <br />"Impactor spacecraft - about the same dimensions as a typical living room coffee table". Speed: 36,000 kilometers per hour.<br />In practice a very poor thing.<br /><br />Comet speed: unknown, because Nasa buffoons have not technology to know the lenght and the shape of the comet orbit.<br /><br />Impactor material: copper. <br />Why have Nasa boffoons used copper and not lead?<br /><br />The impactor is a battery-powered spacecraft. <br />In practice it is a little toy for children.<br /><br />Can this little toy for children cause that big bump, that big flash that looks like a mushroom cloud?<br /><br />Nasa boffoons are playing in the space as if they were playing a science fiction game on their computers.<br /><br />And you, skyeagle and a_lost_packet, are only two ridiculous gullible guys.<br /><br />
