Hey Dicky,

Remember, free association does not work in scientific arguments. So please leave your parents arguments out of this debate.

Also remember, Force = Mass x Acceleration.

At lift off from the Moon the Mass of the lunar space craft (Eagle, similar to a large satellite) is the same as on earth, so we need 1/6th the Force to counteract 1/6th the Acceleration (Gravity of the Moon).

Stick with me Dickey you might learn something.....

Therefore we need a rocket capable of creating 1/6 th of the force of what we use on Earth. As we have seen, the rockets which lift small satellies from the earth are quite large.

Real simple Huh...So where in the lunar photo's is the 1/6th scale rocket with all it's fuel?

I don't expect YOU to answer this question Dickey.
But if do you care to answer again I would appreciate a somewhat relevent answer. OK?

Thanks
