    Okay, here is what I believe:

    I believe landing on the moon and a live video broadcast from the moon are two extremely different things.

    I think they did have actors on a soundstage pantomime to the live audio being piped from the moon. Just cuts down on so many variables, and the stakes were too high for the broadcast to be a technical disaster.

    I think that even despite that, the moon landing is still one of the greatest achievements of humanity.



  • My very armchair general-ish educated guess:

    If they have an HE round loaded, a shot might damage or activate the shell’s very sensitive front facing fuse, causing it to immediately explode and also cause any other readied shells near the loader to explode, virtually guaranteeing the tank crew’s death.

    Other shell types, they have thick and inert ballistic cap that is propelled with enough velocity to shred armor. Basically an oversized bullet themselves. A pistol round would not go through the ballistic cap, only crumple and deform it. But there may be a chance it would make the shell misfire and damage the barrel when the tank crew attempts to fire.


  • Odds are if you are dirt poor Republican you are much more likely to be shuffled into a sweatshop to sew socks than take advantage of anything that’s going on here.
