"an explosion is an explosive burning." What the hell does that mean????? Hydrogen is explosive, but I can burn hydrgen without it exploding, natural gas is explosive, but you may burn it in your house???? I think you can burn a dynamite stick without it exploding... The capsule did not explode because there was nothing explosive in it.....everything that was flammable burned and burned rapidly because of the 100% oxygen environment.... the oxygen did not burn nor explode, Mr. EE

< an explosion is an explosive burning. And three people died because of the flash fire in Appollo > You are right that it was a flash fire, but incorrect in calling it an explosion. The astronauts actually had time to try to open the hatch, and the fire lasted minutes. An explosion happens in milliseconds, such as in the Oklahoma City bomb set off by one of you right wingers. Thomas, you are making a fool of yourself. Stop digging. The hole is getting bigger. Del
