[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=3) Y- y- anything you want to say about it before I play it? [0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=6) No. Somebody sent it to me on Skype and, and, uh, said, "Did you hear this before? [0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=10) That, uh, you know, the walls of the LEM were, uh, two sheets of foil thin?" And I was like, "W- what?" [0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=17) And so I watched it and, yeah, I immed- immediately sent it to you because I couldn't believe what he found, but this is great. I, I can't either. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=23) So you guys, listen up to this. You're not going to believe it. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=27) Good engineering. And, and mind you, before I play this, I want to remind everybody that we're talking about, uh, a 10 to the negative 17th torr vacuum, right? [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=38) That, that, you know, this craft is supposed to be holding out. [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=43) And this is NASA people themselves talking about this. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=46) So hold on to your chair so you don't fall out of it, but here we go. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=51) So I'm gonna play a clip about the construction of the LEM. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=56) Hold on a second. The skin on the crew cabin was very thin, and that was all done because of weight savings. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=63) Weight was a very critical item that always had to be considered in anything that you did. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=70) If you really took your finger and poked hard at it, uh, you could poke right through the outer skin of the spacecraft. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=77) It was about, uh, the thickness of, uh, two layers of, uh, aluminum foil. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=82) But it's the kind of thing that you, uh, you were reasonably cautious that, uh, you didn't jab any pointed objects, uh, through. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=91) Okay. Hold, hold on. One more. The skin, the aluminum alloy skin of the crew compartment was about 12,000ths of an inch thick. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=103) That's equivalent to about three layers of Reynolds Wrap that you would use in, in the kitchen. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=109) They're trying to tell us that those guys spent three days in this little capsule with no climate control at all. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=120) L- let's kind of summarize this. This is a lot of information. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=124) Okay. Yeah. So there you have it, direct from NASA themselves. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=129) They had to be really careful whether they, they poke a hole right through the, the couple of sheets of aluminum foil and Reynolds Wrap, uh, of the LEM. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=136) Don't you just, don't you just love how they said they had to keep weight in mind? [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=141) That was a big concern. Number one priority was weight. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=145) But what about the, uh, extremely powerful vacuum of space? [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=150) Like, wouldn't that be probably more important than weight, if not at least equally as important as weight? [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=156) Uh, because the last I checked, the vacuum of space is going to, uh, have a huge prefer- uh, pressure differential, even on the moon, compared to the, uh, interior pressure of this alleged LEM. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=169) And for them to say that it was two, whatever, 12,000ths of an inch thick or whatever they claim, that's just absolutely absurd. [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=176) I mean, I cannot believe that people bought that. [2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=178) Especially in stark contrast to the, the Sandusky vacuum facility, which has eight-foot-thick concrete and steel walls to hold out a much lesser vacuum. [3:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=188) Go ahead, Hiro. No, I just want to, uh, make, uh, uh, one share screen, because maybe, uh, if you didn't know that, uh, the spacesuit for going to the moon is also prevent, uh, for meteorite impact. [3:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=205) Of course it is. Sure. Yeah. Okay, and let's take a listen to the official narrative, uh, based on the spacesuit. [3:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=213) Here we go. At the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. [3:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=218) This, um, space garment, what is that for? Do you wear that? [3:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=221) This is thermal meteorite garment. It's made up into, uh, layers. [3:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=226) These are the layers of material. The first layer is a Nomex cloth. [3:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=231) This whole garment provides protection against radiant energy impinging on the suit, uh, from the sun and also re- reflected from the moon, and also protects them against meteoroids. [4:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=243) It's protected against meteoroids. This is, uh, impinging on the suit, uh, from the sun and also re- reflected from the moon, and also protects them against meteoroids. [4:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=257) This is a most interesting insulation. This insulation only works in a vacuum. [4:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=262) It's very similar to the material that we have in a, uh, thermos bottle on Earth. [4:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=268) It's as though the men were completely enclosed in a thermos jar. [4:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=271) And it keep going and going with bullshit. [4:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=274) And, and I al- always, uh, think in terms of... [4:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=277) I'm stop sharing. Uh, why this, uh, supposedly magical suit is not given to the fireman, for example, to enter into, you know, a building with fire? [4:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=289) Yeah, it's like everything-proof, isn't it? I mean, this... [4:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=292) Yeah, these suits are magical, you know. [4:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=294) They, they can, you know, fight with any kind of, uh, environment, you know, in the worst conditions. So... [5:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=303) Yeah. Well, there you have it. Yeah, that's a good point. [5:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=305) Uh, you know, there's other instances where NASA is allegedly preventing, um, uh, scientific agencies from saving lives. [5:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=313) Like, there's one example where tornado experts, you know, the guys that are responsible for giving, uh, tornado warnings, looking at the meteorol- meteorological data, um, they claim that if NASA would release their real-time satellite data of the, um, essentially, uh, cloud formations, [5:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=333) uh, on that large scale from their alleged satellites in real time, they could increase the, uh, warning time for tornadoes by something like 30 seconds or a minute or something like that, which is pretty drastic as the tornado warning ti- uh, time is just a matter of seconds. [5:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=350) But for some reason, and I think we know what that reason is, um, NASA will not share that data with the tornado forecasters. [5:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=358) And so, you know, just another example of where NASA will never admit that they don't have the data. [6:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=365) Uh, they'll just, uh, say that it's, uh, I don't know. [6:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=367) I don't know what their excuse is, honestly. They'll just, they'll just make it up. [6:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ABLgqlCpp9wL/en/nasa-s-lunar-module-walls-and-spacesuit-protection-discussed?t=370) But, you know, and, and I-
