The LEM's Problems /Chap. 11 p. 88
The Moon has a two week day and a two week night. The first mission (Apollo 11), set
down when the Sun was only 10° above the horizon ostensibly to avoid the heat of the
noonday Sun. Later, Apollo landings took place later in the lunar day. And to add to the heat
problem all the landings were within twenty degrees of the lunar equator.
Mr. Noble has this to say about temperatures on the Moon. "Surface temperatures range
from about 243 degrees above zero Fahrenheit in the unfiltered sunlight at lunar midday, to
about 279 degrees below zero in the depths of the lunar night..." 2 The figure must be
substantially correct. If it wasn't, wouldn't the astronauts have reported it This is hotter than
boiling water. In fact, this is hotter than the pressurized water in most household hot water
heaters and boilers.
Yet, over and over again, NASA preaches the "cold of space" doctrine. When Aldrin
and Armstrong were sleeping on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission, Harry Hurt wrote:
"Aldrin tried to curl up on the floor of the LEM, only to discover that he was too
"Elated" and also too "cold" to sleep during the astronauts schedule seven-hour rest
period before lunar take-off As he reported afterward, "The thing which really kept us
awake was the temperature. It was very chilly in there. After about three hours it became
unbearable. We had the liquid cooling system in operation in our suits, of course, and we
tried to get comfortable by turning the water circulation down to a minimum. That didn't
help much. We turned the temperature control on our oxygen system up to the
maximum. That didn't have much effect either. We could have raised the window shades
and let the light in to warm us, but that would have destroyed any remaining possibility
of sleeping."" 3
Did NASA fail to make a system that could be turned off Despite Aldrin's reported
claim, the suit's cooling system cannot work in a pressurized cabin as we will see in the next
section. In his book, all Aldrin has to say about that day is, "We didn't sleep much at all.
Among other things, we were elated — and also cold." 4 All of this seems very mysterious
since all the Moon landings took place during the lunar day. That's when the surface of the
Moon is literally as hot as hell. If it's 273° F at midday wouldn't the surface be at least 200° F
when the Sun is at 10° Remember, on the Moon, the sun has been rising for over 24 Earthhours
to get that high.
Isn't it reasonable to assume that the Sun will heat every object on the Moon's surface to
roughly the same temperature Does the Sun not heat cars, houses and pavements here on
Earth Have you ever picked up a metal tool left lying in the summer sun It can raise
blisters on your hand if you're no wearing a glove. Is the sunlight on the Moon different than
that on Earth Yes it is! In fact, it's more intense, since it isn't diffused by an atmosphere as
on Earth. That's why noonday temperatures are hotter than here. With the Sun beating down
on the LEM how could it have been cold inside
And as far as not being able to sleep in the sunlight, only vampires have that problem.
Normal people often fall asleep on sand beaches and lawn chairs. Isn't that why God made
eyelids, or why man created sunlasses and eye-masks
When speaking about wearing a space suit Collins had this to say, "the astronaut would
dissolve in a pool of sweat were there not some way to keep him cooled..." 5 Undoubt-
