Utter nonsense. The temperature in the room makes more of a difference than the moon does. The heat transfer from your hands make a bigger difference.

I find it kind of worrying.
The Germans had designs in WW2 that were technical marvels, and besieged by teething and reliability problems as consequence.
To what degree are we making the same mistake.
Fighters so expensive you can only afford a handful means they have to be spread thinner, and losses become even more dear.

Utter nonsense I'm inclined to agree with you. I would reckon the tidal effects over the length of the airframe to be about on part in 10^15.

You are correct the ingorance of the aircraft people knows no bounds. The damn thing cost 60,000 +++ dollars an hour to fly and they talk about 16 gallons of fuel. Dang!
