'That looks like a slice to me, Al,' teased CAPCOM Haise."" 28
Simple enough. A man sees a chance to make golf history with the whole world watching,
even though he slices the ball. To dissect this absurdity I need digress again. When I
was a kid I was able to see patrolling dragonflies snatch mosquitoes from the air. They never
miss. When they dip, another bug is gobbled. I like dragon flies because I hate mosquitoes. I
mention this only to show how good my eyes were. Rest assured that in playing baseball I
knew a curve ball when I saw one.
So, when I was in high school taking physics from the school's (least athletic) teacher, he
told us that a curve ball was a no-such. I took most of his teaching like a man. I didn't snivel
when he said Einstein informed us that star travel could never be; I didn't even make much
of a fuss when he lied about the no-suchness of giant squid. But this time he had gone too
far. I saw balls curve.
Yet, nothing a kid could say would shake him from the vows he took when they handed
him his degree and he swore to defend modern science; to never believe in the unexplainable
which is defined as anything not printed as acceptable in the current physics theories. Years
later, of course, physics bent just a bit and they finally admitted that a ball could curve just
as baseball players knew all along. They went on to add that it curved because of Bernoulli's
Principal.
A rotating ball induces unequal air flow over the ball's surface. This creates unequal
pressures on opposite sides of the ball, which is then push-pulled from its straight inertial
path. The magic word is air. Without air there would be no Bernoulli's Principal. Without air
that ball, whether rotating or not, could only obey Newton's first law which simply and
clearly states, a body in motion tends to remain in motion.
No one has really worked out all the physics of curving baseballs, yet, nor golf's hooks
and slices. Golf balls are dimpled, for example, to make a rough surface — which makes for
more turbulence, which supposedly counteracts Bernoulli's Principal. Nonetheless, you can't
throw a curve, or slice a golf ball, without an atmosphere. In early June 1994, Shepard was
on a Washington DC radio station and he now claims that he "shanked" that ball because a
ball can't curve in a vacuum. Since the camera was stationary a shank would have exited the
camera's field of view almost immediately. A shank is when the ball skids sideways off the
face of the club.
Al, everybody saw it slice on that original tape. If there was air on the Moon why didn't
you tell us If there isn't and that ball was shanked as you claim, then we all need glasses
with very thick lenses. Or is it that the tape, your report, and the mission were all simulated
Note: that statement was made years ago. Since then, some NASA video footage (with
sound) has surfaced (made in low Earth orbit) and dated July 17, 1969, when they were
supposed to be halfway to the Moon, shows the Apollo 11 clowns faking pictures of a
receeding Earth by blacking out the ship and moving the camera further from the port hole
thus "proving" they were actually going to the Moon!
