Landing on the Moon

[teckmaster]

Did we really do it? If we had the technology back then, why haven't we done it since? Why haven't others done it?

 

[Radiohead]

No ulterior motive to go back
But wasn't some Eurpoean country, or was it China, planning on landing someone there?

 

[bernse]

Yes. We haven't we done it since or others? It costs a massive amount of money and there simply isn't the drive to do it now.

Although I'm very skeptical that we've ever been, there allegedly have been trips there since the first.

Why do it again.

There is nothing useful on the moon, the only reason to land there is to prove you can, which was done already.

 

[bernse]

I can't believe people are actually voting no on this.

Mind you, I guess there are still people that believe the Earth is flat so it shouldn't suprise me... although I always thought most of the people here were of slightly higher caliber.

One of the reposts

1. I'm thinking not.
2. We don't have the political motive, because we're not in a space race for a military advantage.
3. Same reason.

Has this really been posted before? Or is it just a government conspiracy?

 

[Kadarin]

Science fiction sold us on the fantasy that there's some worthwhile purpose to having a permanent colony on the moon, when in reality there's pretty much nothing there. Economically, it makes no apparent sense, so we haven't been back. If China manages to do it, we may actually see some investment in something besides mucking about with the space shuttle in low Earth orbit, but I still doubt it even then.

It's a shame, really.

Flag on the moon. How did it get there?

Indeed.

Didn't the Astronauts also bring back several hundred pounds of 'moon rocks'?

I'm buying some aluminum futures, because based on the responses in this thread, the tinfoil hat industry is about to skyrocket.

Prove that it's really there

We have pictures of it on the surface.

Everyone that has doubts, at least

READ THIS.

And if you still think its a big conspiracy, go see a shrink. Really.

The astonauts also left a reflector. If you want to prove to yourself that we have been to the moon, just go to an observatory. They can hit this reflector with a laser beam, and have it bounce back. (They use it to measure the distance to the moon, and to measure the speed of light.) If you fire the laser at any other spot on the moon besides the known location of the reflector, it doesn't bounce back.

Any questions?

Yea, I have some. $500 per ounce if you want to buy some. Just give me a few days and I can have as much as you want.

Actually, between all the missions I think there are several thousand pounds of rocks. Of which that geologists that have studied them have said without question that they are not of this world.

Maybe all the geologists are part of the big cover up too?

:disgust:

Gosh, I was just throwing in a MST3K reference, and people latch on to it as if I was serious!

I, for one, DO believe we landed on the moon, though.

 

[VictorLazlo]

To everyone asking if the moon landing is a fake, I ask: why?
Why would we ever want to fake it? It's not like "really going" would have been impossible, or too expensive. The technology was entirely within our means. So what were we going to do: fake the moon landing and let the Russians beat us there for real?

 

[mugs]

If the moonlanding was recorded on some soundstage, why did Neil Armstrong mess up what he was supposed to say? (One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind was supposed to be One small step for A man... which actually makes sense).

My biggest question is how anyone who keeps raising the question has survived selective deletion from the gene pool? I also wonder how they feed themselves or remember how to tie their shoe laces.
