The vacuum is. Hard vacuum (10^-6 torr or greater) causes materials to outgas. This means the material weight is literally reduced by the vacuum as molecules of it turn gaseous and float away.
It is total bullshit.
To make metal outgas in vacuum you have to heat it to the temperatures when atoms thermokinetic energy become larger than energy of bonds betwen atoms in metal. For zinc, f.e. it is around 400°C. However nobody make spacecrafts from zinc. Aluminiun, unlike zinc don't have a habit to sublimate like zinc, so you have to melt it and heat more, up to ~1000°C. Titanium, stainless steel and other cool space materials have higher temperatures of outgasing. When things came to such temperatures, obviously outgasing is the last problem to deal with.
Of course, there could be fluctuations that could result in atom separation, but the probability is so low that it is something like few atoms per day. Micrometeorites and space radiation do much more harm for the vessel than this process. But to simulate them you again don't need vacuum chamber at all.
Really interesting who and for what purpose throw in all that stupid and easily disprovable bullshit about moonhoax, when there is more than enough much more solid and still unanswered questions about the whole Apollo project. What is the problem to select few best questions and constantly hit authorities until they admit the lies? Isn't this is a goal of all that moonhoax movement?
Moonhoax shilling with stupid "yet another "arguments" is a kind of interesting phenomena, I think it is really more interesting rabbit hole than moonhoax itself. It is like absurdising topic to the level when it looses its importance. I observe same strategy with many other things, from coronahoax and vaccinehoax to the whole NWO thing. Is that all coming from single source?
Let's hear your list of "acceptable" moonhoax theories since you obviously have HUUUGE powers of discernment. Maybe this time without the wall of text?
First, seems you don't even know what RTV is. RTV is "Room Temperature Vulcanisation". It is a property of material, not material name or brand. It could be rubber, polyurethane, silicone, butadien-stirole, any elastic polymer that will cure at room temperature.
Second. Silicone itself does not outgas at al. It will decompose earlier, than it reach outgasing temperature. Silicone outgasing with reducing amount of material due to loss of atoms or molecules is a complete nonsense, unlike for metal, ice and other substances that at least could outgas into space under specific circumstances.
Third. 2k silicone rubber have silicone oils and solvents in components to make mixing and applying easier. After curing (vulcanisation) this components still present between created silicone polymer chains. Table about outgassing silicone compounds is about evapouration of that componenets from silicone resin, not about silicone itself. Evapouration of thinners and oils does not make silicone rubber weaker or make it loose any sealing properties. But it harmful for vacuum in vacuum chambers. F.e. I have a small vacuum chamber for restoration of vintage cars headlights reflectors with vacuum metal vapour deposition. With fresh gasket for vacuum bell, I geting bad results of deposition, weak adhesion, because of that thinners from 2k silicone that outgas and interfere with metal vapours. I need around 2 days under vacuum to get rid of that nasty substances that contaminate my vacuum, and then silicone gasket works perfectly. It does not evapourate, it just get rid of thinners and comtaminate vacuum. That is why silicone compounds tested for outgasing of additives. Meanwhile even cheap 1k silicone from hardware store will work perfectly in any vacuum. You just need more time to dry it in air, and more time to dry under vacuum. Silicone compounds designed specifically for vacuum gaskets have less additives so have less vacuum contamination. It is all about fucking vacuum chamber contamination, not about silicone disapeearing.
Again and again, you show that you don't want to know how things work. You just found some stupid screenshot and post it here.
What is the source of that screenshot? Where did you get it? Who told you to post it here? Let me guess, you, suddenly, will never answer this questions. :)
Let's hear your list of "acceptable" moonhoax theories
Where is moon soil? Why NASA presented USSR only few dozen grams of moon soil, less than USSR presented to NASA just before? They presumably bring 382 kg of moon soil, but presented only few dozen grams of soil that was suddenly identical to one that USSR presented to NASA.
How Apollo crews was able to walk and stay on foot right after the landing? A week in low gravity conditions does not allow that.
Why huge part of important documentation of Apollo project was destroyed? That is not what people do with documentation of greatest achievement of humanity.
Why after that huge success with heavy duty rockets, great docking expirience and so on, NASA curtailed any long term missions to space and all space station projects? NASA resumed long term missions only with Mir space station.

You seem awfully concerned. I'll let you in on a secret. There's a forum just like this, only better, and I copied it from there.

Talking about the RTV, not the metal. Obviously.

Why the lame negative attitude dude?
