If we would’ve built and launched those things in the 30’s they’d only be as far as Saturn now .

If you told them almond milk came from cows that were only fed almonds, most of them would probably believe it.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Couple of reasons:

1. We did go back, a few times.

2. The mass of the CM-LM tandem that got us to the moon was 28,000 KG's. The Saturn V was the only American-made rocket at the time capable of maneuvering on a Trans-Lunar Injection with that kind of payload, and one of only two human-made launch platforms ever capable of such a thing. The only other society to build and operate a platform of that capacity were the Soviets some 20 years later. The only platform currently in the pipeline that has the hopes of achieving what the Saturn V was capable of is a variant of the Space Launch System Block I, slated to come online around 2024.

3. Traveling to the moon takes vehicles and their inhabitants through the Van Allen Radiation Belts created by Earth's magnetosphere, something that is always of concern. NASA estimated that the Apollo astronauts received the equivalent of a few chest X-Rays during their trip through the belts and on the moon, but long-term studies have indicated that the astronauts received much more radiation than initially calculated, which resulted in cardiovascular disease ravaging the ranks of lunar-bound pilots, almost double the rate of LEO or non-flying NASA astronauts.

4. Lifting the kind of payload, in one shot, capable of going to the moon and back while sustaining multiple human lives within its interior is extremely costly on many fronts (R&D of the launch platform and lunar package, fuel, environmental effects, etc.) and extremely dangerous on many fronts (for obvious reasons). We built it, tested it, and got there a few times without losing MANY lives, so why tempt fate and risk the budget, especially when it appears that Americans stopped caring about going to the moon after only a few flights?

Once you've had a few years of threesomes, you start to want to settle down with the missus.

I'm with you.

Some people think the moon doesn't exist. I've never really understood how it has "no atmosphere"- I do but I don't. I think nasa is a huge waste of money. It might just be a way of fucking the American people out of money. Fuckers.

So Bernstein was adamantly opposed to Harold Baines getting in? Wanted to listen but couldn't.

Saying nothing at all.

It used to have an atmosphere but the dinosaurs native to the moon caused a huge and fast lunar warming (climate change). They were forced to make very big jumps (they had huge size but small arms) to leap to Earth and inhabit it many moons ago (so to speak).

At any rate the Moon died and is now the dead rock illuminating our nights and controlling our tides. Roll tide!

To tie this into the flat earth thing, I believe there are flat earthers who believe the moon is a hologram.

Also, I'm really surprised at how many people here don't believe we ever made it to the moon. I'm pretty sure we did as I don't think that many people could create such a conspiracy and keep that kind of secret, but I'll admit that my Russian friends made me question what I think I know because what they think they know is something completely different.

I am equally surprised so many people that doubt the moon landing so readily lap up so much other stuff.

I'm surprised that people who lap up the moon land stuff easily doubt other stuff that has more proof.

I'm not sure Australia exists. It probably does but it is hard to know for sure.

Everyone knows the moon is hollow, an artificial satellite brought here by aliens to get a stable climate for the prison planet known as Earth.

All Bears signing Hunt jokes aside, I prefer my athletes abusive to stupid any day of the week. Irving and Curry should face the same level of ridicule as Hunt.

For NAS- With Space, what is the bridge to far? We haven't landed on the moon, did we make it to Mars, Pluto, voyager, Jupiter, Russia landing on Venus? How about Spacex landing rockets? It seems weird we could complete these other objectives, yet landing on the moon was out of bounds.

You don't believe in moon landing but you do believe in interstellar robots?

I'm not sold man has been on the moon. I don't doubt that we have landed things on the moon.

I'm more impressed we are able to land rovers and objects on other planets. With the manned craft, someone is able to correct in realtime. With all of the other landings, distance prevents adjustment or intervention.

Radiation. That would be a huge hurdle IMO. We don't have to worry about that for a robot. With all of our advances in technology I would think we would have taken another trip or Russia would have taken their first trip.

Look at the extremes NASA goes even 40 years after the crime. I admire the stick-to-itiveness.

Well thankfully you are here to say...everything. You are very important and everyone hangs on every word you say. That stuff on the cutting edge 4 minutes before the above quote was fucking riveting. Bless you.

More people responded or quoted me in this thread so who's really saying nothing?
