Subject: RE: Can you really raise a ship with hot air
I recall seeing a cartoon that was published just before the Apollo 10 moon shot. That was the one where they went around the moon, but didn't land. The cartoon showed the Apollo capsule going around the back of the moon. A couple of astronauts were rubbernecking out of a window and what they saw was a hollow hemisphere, obviously a wooden frame with a monstrous sheet of canvas stretched over it, and on part of the frame, it read "Act III, scene 2."
