Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 19, 2023

Well, that would be interesting. No air, so no lift. But also no drag. Lower gravity, so more distance covered in flight for the same initial speed.

I used to throw a frisbee up to the right at a very steep angle, and the Frisbee would gradually reduce the angle of attack, and end up going purely horizontal toward the left.. But that would no happen on the moon.

Would there be enough atmosphere on the moon to support a frisbee?

Frisbee™.

Does Rover realize that there are no trees on the moon?

If Rover did go to the moon, he’d be Rover the moon.

You would need a 20 lb. (9 kg) frisbee!

Such dreamers! Keep up the great imagination, my little darlings ;)

Such good boys, checking in with Mom and Dad!

Wonderment & imagination is what moves mankind forward. Red and Rover, keep having those amazing dreams!

What about an X- ZYLO?

I remember an ‘80s b movie starring the guy who played Chekov on “Star Trek” as an astronaut who went up on the last mothballed Saturn 5 to save the Earth from aliens on the moon. He brought a frisbee to throw, thinking it would outdistance Alan Shepherd’s golf ball. I thought he was full of it. No aerodynamic flight without air.

The manned flights to the Moon were back in President Nixon’s time which does lend some weight to conspiracy theories that they were faked although not much weight. Manned flights to the Moon may resume. We shall see.

Seems like golf was on the astronauts’ minds. However, frisbee would most definitely be fun….

And the most important for you Red and Rover …………. you’d be together …… :)

Love Red.. always thinking of Rover. Taking Rover to the Moon ! Awesome…

They need to make one of the frisbee golf holes on the moon. Yip yip yip yip yip

Frisbee? I thought it was golf.

When I was a kid, my siblings & I played a computer game called Battlezone, in which you commanded a force of space tanks, scouts, etc. on various planets. US vs. Soviets. Anyway, the training area, where I played because I was younger and not good at the main game, was on the moon. While on foot, your character could jump, and with the reduced gravity, jump quite a distance. And if you kept going, you could achieve quite a pace!
