If you think aluminum foil is not strong enough to hold 5PSI in space but strong enough to hold 50PSI in your soda can, you are . . . probably a real truther and you may have some sort of disability

0.08mm is the current thinnest you'll find cans holding your frosty beverages of choice.

The moon lander had skin as thin as 0.3mm and was required to hold far less differential pressure . . . AND it had thicker sections for strength at intervals.

A can of soda would explode in space.

Fortunately in that situation the design considerations are different and people smarter than you did the maths, and it worked out just fine.

math isn't real

Sorry, I don't debate reality with bots

are different

to create a vacuum requires twelve foot reinforced concrete

yeah, and the one time they put a guy into the vacuum chamber, with a 'space suit' .. they never made it to a perfect vacuum, the water on the man's tongue boiled.

he nearly died.

we have NEVER done that again.

there is no proof these suits work

fools are fools until they wake up

I, personally myself, have created ultra-hard vacuum in a glass jar a centimeter thick. Concrete is porous and a stupid example to use for a vessel to hold vacuum.

No, not enough pressure in the can for it to explode. Needs to be pressurized something like 6 times as much.

[–]raven9 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes there is. We did it in a highschool experiment. A can of soda in the vaccum chamber. It exploded. I saw it with my own eyes.

Edit: Found someone doing it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du0opEpGQtA

Ah sorry for late reply, I understand now that the pressure the can of soda takes externally doesn't equate to the internal pressure on the can wall. The way the top of the can is made gives that pinch of steel the to ability to withstand 6x atmospheres down on it, but pushing out from inside, then the seam fails. My apologies, if you redesign the can to take internal pressure (i.e. roll the seam the other way, then the wall thickness will hold the pressure of the can against a vacuum.)

Who cares about the foil.

Who did they leave on the moon to film their lunar departure flight?

The camera man pans the camera, to follow the fakest looking launch of all time.

Who was already there on the moon with a camera ready to film Armstrong exit the Rover?
How did they know where the rover would land?

They called Nixon in the Whitehouse, and he had a space conversation with them on a land line.

        It's fake. They can't send 60's era remote signals 250000 miles to the moon.

        It's impossible to go to the moon and back with rockets.
