Skylab: The First 40 Days

[@solderbuff]

That is unbelievably cool and exciting! The history of space exploration by the US in 1960s and 1970s is amazing. The sheer amount of human effort and engineering needed to accomplish all this in the age of primitive computers astounds me.

[@Zoomer30]

It's pretty bad when even NASA can't get it right. The tower view of Skylab taking off clearly shows a Apollo Service Module.

[@Dstevenb]

It was actually an outsourced company AV films who produced the film. Blame them.

And it's even on a Saturn IB,not a two stage Saturn V!!!

Skylab was racked with problems from the beginning. when Skylab was launched orbital shock tore off the faring arround the workshop an parts of it hit the solar arrays and tore half of the micrometor shields off the haul. the crew had to improvise by going out on a spacewalk and freeing the solar arrays and deploying a tarp over the haul to reflect the sun. but after the bugs were fixed it was life as always on Skylab until 1979 when it crashed in the Outback.

The 13th minute and 30th second frames show a flying bubble with air, but it was done so ineptly that it looks cartoonish like the flying gluttonous ghost from the 1984 film “Ghostbusters”:)))

If you write it as 13:30 one can click on the link to jump to the position in the video, so it's easier to find. And I guess that white shape is just a bright lamp, overexposuring the camera. The old film quality is not that good here

[@dwightsteven-boniecki9600]

@@Silber7 you are quite correct. This is the effect of a bright display on the monitor at the ATM Control Panel. The Westinghouse camera is known to have a "blooming" problem in situations just as this. Having the video on a kinescope film doesnt help with the quality either.

it is the other way around Space Station ISS came after Skylab and everything that is done on ISS came from here and it was primitive

[@Dstevenb]

This is the non-delete thread from now on. This is what I wrote to numbynumb, who seems tohave a problem with opposing views to his: I have moved my discussion to a section which you cannot delete. I will not play to your unilaterial rules. If that is too much for you, which apparently it is given the first time I posted this information you deleted it, along with my request that you answer my questions first (as I asked them first) pertaining to your false allegation that no other video exists of motion as seen in this clip, then I wish you all the best in your life. You are a coward for having to delete things that disagree with you. How sad that you need to win that badly, that you will by your own admission, remove opposing views. This has been CC'd in the thread I am not scared enough to see continue.

[@Dstevenb]

So numby, what do you have to say about the fact that despite you falsely claiming no other footage like the Kerwin exercise footage exits, similar footage can be found on AS-205, SL-3, SL-4, STS-4 and STS-5 to say the least?

[@Dstevenb]

I must say I was very glad that numbynumb insisted that I "need to do [my] homework". Turns out, I spent the last few days reaffirming that my understanding of the physics involved in Kerwin's acrobatics in Zero-G have been solidly reinforced by physics professors the word over. In several this particular clip, and many like it was used to demonstrate how Newton's laws, and the laws of Conservation of Momentum and the Conservation of Angular Momentum work. One study, Angular Momentum Conservation: Astronauts At Play Jodee A. Jones, Physics Department, The College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio 44691, clearly states that, "When a group of leading physicists and coaches were questioned whether or not angular momentum is conserved during certain types of tumbling passes, a surprising 34 percent answered incorrectly." Obviously, as myself and Peter have been trying to explain to numbynumb. Additionally, the Maryland University, along with the University of Berkely, York College, University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Denver, Colorado, physics department uses this clip to explain how Newton's Law works (just to name a few). What I would like to know if he has debated his beliefs with these physics faculties and more the world over? I would like to see his homework.

[@Dstevenb]

Additionally for numby numb, a couple of physics specialists have taken the good time to explain the following to you: "he's using his legs to rotate his body, and then the legs themselves are rotating, so on the way out, they give additive torque, but on the way back in, the twisting legs themselves cancel, so he can bring his legs back together with a net rotational displacement - no energy is gained during a rotational change like that (where total angular momentum before and after the change is the same). All the rest are basically air resistance things, or changes is angular momentum because he's tucking in or extending out - when the speed is low, air drag will bring him to almost a complete stop, but when he's tucked, there's less drag, and higher speed, so the motion is apparent, and usefully not-slow.". Also, "There is no outside force acting upon him, nor is he throwing away any mass . . either of which would leave him with a non-zero momentum. So numbynumb, again I demonstrate, with the backing of several physics faculties that I have done my homework. Now it is time you show yours, in particular why it goes against everything these people have to say.

[@Dstevenb]

numbynumb is too much of a coward to engage in a debate in which he cannot use the delete button. I take that as him admitting defeat. He's had a week to respond, but can only remove posts he doesn't agree with. If that is the best the hoax believers side has to offer, I think we have very little to worry about.
