We can survive on the Moon without space suits?

Question

I watched this video by William Cooper - his credentials are impressive... but he was murdered (sadly) "for speaking out"...

Towards the end of his lecture, he mentions deep-sea diving & decompression... & how that could be utilised to live without space suits in space. Wow!

His whole lecture is based upon exposing the conspiracy to trick the world (which also involves NASA...)

What do you think about this?

I was hoping for answers from those who had listened to the lecture - he states how that was achieved... he also point out he doesn't expect anyone to believe him- he was, because of his job, aware of what was going on & he felt it necessary to warn / inform people...

Insulting this man now he has paid the price... is immoral & not helpful...

Has anyone listened to the video? Obviously not!

Answer 1

no suit, not yet, on the moon, it would need alot of terraforming and that's something somebody it already thinking about

Answer 2

"Impressive credentials"? What, from the University of the Matchbook? California College of Conspiracy Crazies? Pfaugh.

Have you ever tried to fly a open-cockpit plane above 50000 feet? What did you need while you were there? An oxygen mask! Why? Because the atmosphere has too little oxygen to support life at that altitude. Without oxygen support -- you die of hypoxia. And not only that, but it is freakin' cold way up there -- ask anybody who flew bombing missions over Europe in a B-17 or a B-24 about it.

Okay, on the Moon, where the gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, there is NO atmosphere. That means no constant 14.7 psi of pressure on your body. That means NO PRESSURE AT ALL. So there would be a problem with explosive decompression, since the human body is adapted to maintain an internal pressure to counteract the external pressure, but not when that external pressure is zero.

Second, no atmosphere means no oxygen/nitrogen mix to breathe. Death by asphyxiation -- duh!

Third -- no atmosphere means no protection from radiation of any sort -- thermal, UV, cosmic, etc. If you stand on the sunny side of the moon, you fry. If you stand on the dark side of the moon, you freeze. That's why all the manned lunar landings (which DID happen) were at the twilight zone between day and night -- the temperatures could be managed there.

So, what do I think about this video? Yet another crazy man desperately trying for his 15 minutes of fame. Fuggedaboutit.

Answer 3

There is much fantasy about the whole issue.
For starters, no one can survive stayning on the surface of the moon for several reasons: There is no breathable oxygen in there, (asphyxia is the next comsequence) the sunny side of the moon reaches up to 180 centigrades cooking and burning everything non protected by insulating refrigerated thermical reflecting suit, and the dark side of the moon easily reaches below zero temperatures, that can freeze any living organism on the surface.
Imagine somebody barefoot and naked (or dressed with any terrestrial garment) tryng to walk on that surface....It would be suicidal, (even if that person is still alive by the time he or she reaches the surface of the moon).
An opposite problem, is furnished by high water pressure of deep seas.
The pressude of the water increases with depth, and in can crush even the core of a submarine with a shell 4 inches thick in depth of 1000 meters.....a human being will find any garments or scuba diving useles below 120 meters of depth. (even with oxygen the pressure of water will keep him or her from expending the chest muscles fro breathing), and then any garment will turn out to be useless.
More depth can be reached with the old diving suits, with head piece, chest protection ald all ro about 200 meters.
That is all....the other danger is that, if anybody goes down in water, beyond 20 meters, after some minutes, the nitrogen contained in the compressed air (aire is a mixture of 70% nitrogen and 28% oxygen andd 2%other gases such as argon, xenon, neon etc. the nitrogen contained in the air, becomes SOLUBLE in the blood, however, if you come back suddenly to the surface, that nitrogen becomes insoluble again because the pressure of the water becomes less.
Then it forms bubbles of air that can and will clog vessels od arteries that supply the brain, heart etc, causing embolism, (can you imagine that?and obstructs blood vessels. An d because the nitrogen slowly (SLOWLY) soluble in water, as a diver, you have to wait at least 20 minutes for every 20 meters you approach the surface, to give a chance to nitrogen become soluble in the blood again and preventing the formation of bubbles...You see?
There is no conspiracy in facts (who cares about NASA and other agencies). the facts are physical and solid medical facts.
Yes, going to the moon without proper protection can kill you, just the same as going too deep in the ocean.
Have you geard of Caissons disease of divers? well, see:
When nitrogen causes cramps and other symptoms because of obstruction of small vessels supplying the muscles, you get severe cramps....the ones the divers that reach the surface.get,thus, have to be put inmediately in a special chamber (pressure chamber) to reverse things, and make the nitrogen soluble in the blood again, and then decompressing SLOWLY until the nitrogen bubbles dissapear (takes 12 to 24 hours......Then you can figure it out.

Answer 4

I watched the video all the way through - have you?

Try it again, make notes of things that he claims about the moon that you could check out yourself with even a modest size telescope - check them out.

What I think is that the guy was seriously paranoid at the time that he made that presentation ; given that, it's really hard to begin to guess his motives for ignoring 'reality'.

Answer 5

The moon has no atmosphere. How are we supposed to breathe?
Our body needs some pressure exerted on it to balance the force exerted by the pumping of blood. Without any atmosphere to counteract the force, we would explode like the creatures pulled out of the depths of lake Baikal (plop!)
The temperature variations would kill us anyway.

Answer 6

So why excatly did nasa bother with space suits it they are Unnessecery, why bother to hide that fact that humans can survive in space if nobody can go there unless there an astronaut anyway

Answer 7

You can't live without a space suit.

Maybe you could survive for a bit of time with just a breath mask to deliver oxygen but you wouldn't want to.

Answer 8

I can only really agree with one part and that is that NASA is far less than honest in dealing with the public. Other than that, I don't know. Seems hard to swallow for the most part. Many other scientist would be on to this I feel if it were true.

Answer 9

why do you think that life only started on the earth??? because (for our kind of life) it was best suited... if you want to try living on the moon without any kind of life-support, feel free.. :D

let me see... no atmosphere... so no air to breath, no pressure and not much in the way of heat... don't know which would happen first... freeze to death, suffocate or explosive decompression... :D

Answer 10

No air sweets. Cant live there. They say Mars is the nearest to live in but other than that nothing else. Mars has basic gases but survival is nill for any of those places.

Answer 11

Space suit is worn for many reasons ,not just for pressure related things.Its also worn for protection from cosmic radiation.And its 100 percentage sure that ,no one can go out to space without a space suit.
