The LEM's Problems / Chap. 11 p. 91
The LEM stayed on the Moon for over 24 hours and during this time NASA tells us that
our intrepid astronauts used it to sleep, rest, eat, and to eliminate waste in, when they weren't
outside on the Moon's surface. By the time the program called for them to leave, the LEM
had to be hotter than the ground. Yet our audacious astronauts calmly climbed the ladder and
crawled inside to begin the trip back home. It must have taken a special kind of courage to
crawl back into that oven. They really did have "The Right Stuff!"
If space is cold, why did they put radiators on the service module to not only cool that
module but also to cool the command capsule Surely there can't be different climatic zones
out in space, one for close Earth orbit space and another for lunar space. If it was so cold
why weren't unit heaters provided. After all, one of the first specs for the Apollo series of
ships was that, "It would provide a shirt-sleeve environment." 17
Aldrin space-walked on the Gemini 12. "While he was working outside on a daylight
pass above the world, he could feel the strong heat of sunlight against the rear inner wall of
the inflated suit, he almost burned his skin before he leaned forward again. An external
zipper was located in that area and its metal parts had become intensely hot from absorbing
solar radiation." 18
Each complete Earth orbit constituted a "day" which is defined here as the time between
the rising of two consecutive Suns. However, since the capsule orbited in about eighty
minutes, this was a "day" which gave only about 40 minutes of daylight. In that 40 minutes
his metallic zipper became hot enough to burn his back. But the metallic LEM of Apollo 11
fame, which stood on the Moon for almost 12 hours did not! In succeeding missions the
LEMs were exposed for days. Yet, they did not heat up. Are the Sun's rays weaker on the
Moon Is space colder on the Moon
NASA never quits trying to make us believe that space is cold. But they're wrong,
because space is nothing! It is the Sun's radiation which causes heat. The LEM should have
roasted our celluloid heroes soon after they landed, and long before they could blast off to
make rendezvous with the command ship.
Murray & Cox wrote that Houston control was worried about the cold messing up the
IMU and thereby losing its one hundredth of a degree angular accuracy. "His back room
was posing the hair-raising possibility that if they turned off the command module's
guidance system and let it sit in the cold—" 19 Go figure!
If the cold of space can cool a ship, why did authors Murray & Cox write as follows
after interviewing NASA experts "In contrast, water was a huge problem. The electronics
in the spacecraft generated heat which was carried off by glycol circulating through the
system. The warmed glycol was chilled by running it through tubes encased in ice. The ice
was made by the cold of space from water supplied by the LEM. As the glycol ran through
the pipes, the ice vaporized and boiled away." 20
Here these writers were told that NASA was worried about not being able to run the
cooling system. But then we are told that Houston was worried about the cold disabling the
IMU. That is not logical! The statements are diametrically opposed.
