Penultimate Amazing
As with his 9/11 looniness, he claims to offer a 1 million Euro prize for anyone proving Apollo is real.
Specifically in one case, he offers the prize for someone who can prove that Apollo carried enough fuel to perform the advertised orbital maneuvers. Of course that was done, but Anders objects because it wasn't figured according to his broken model of physics.
Even leaving aside the fact that he probably doesn't have the money...
Is there really any question? He constantly brings up the million-euro prize and thumps his chest over the fact that no one has won it, but steadfastly refuses to demonstrate via any of the customary means (e.g., authenticated escrow) that the money exists. Naturally no one takes the prize seriously; they correct him simply to put the corrects on the record. But Anders is the one who keeps taunting people with the money.
...it's unwinnable as he is unwilling to correct his errors.
That's the ultimate joke in his approach. Anders is the sole judge of whether or not he has been corrected, and therefore the sole judge of whether anyone is owed a million euros. He corrects his errors (see below) but he simply refuses to admit that he was ever wrong.
He did take on board one correction from this discussion: a spacecraft performing a burn changes mass. He still used that in the not-even-wrong calculation of energy requirement via KE.)
Clearly he doesn't understand the mechanical energy of orbits, but the fact remains that he originally computed the delta-v problem one way, omitting the variable-mass term of the Tsiolkovsky ideal-rocket equation, but agreed that he should be computing it a different way and refused to admit that he had been corrected.
Not only did he refuse to acknowledge the error he corrected, he blatantly libeled a member of Apollohoax in the process. It's an epic ad hominem that would be appropriate only in the Stundie thread, if even there.
