Quick question: How many people so far have gone to the moon?

[Antoneo]

Question is above. Please don't start talking about how the United States didn't go to the moon because that show was full of crap. Every point made in that show has been debunked. Besides those guys weren't even physicists, just whacked out non believers. Big moon movie my left boot!

12

<< LOOK HERE >>

Thank you so very much!

EDIT: hmmm... so its Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15 ,16 and 17 that landed on the moon? 18 people... I thought it was much lower something like what McPhreak said.

THE SELECT 12
What were they doing up there?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Of the billions and billions of people that have walked on the Earth, only a select 12 have walked on the Moon. If you combined all the time that they spent walking on the Moon, it is still less than 4 days!

Who When How Long
Neil Armstrong 7/20/69 2 hr. 31 min. 40 sec.
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin 7/20/69 2 hr. 31 min. 40 sec.
Charles (Pete) Conrad 11/19/69 7 hr. 45 min. 18 sec.
Alan Bean 11/19/69 7 hr. 45 min. 18 sec.
Alan Shepard 2/5/71 9 hr. 22 min. 31 sec.
Edgar Mitchell 2/5/71 9 hr. 22 min. 31 sec.
James Irwin 7/30/71 18 hr. 34 min. 46 sec.
David Scott 7/30/71 18 hr. 34 min. 46 sec.
Charles Duke 4/21/72 to 4/23/72 20 hr. 14 min. 16 sec.
John Young 4/21/72 to 4/23/72 20 hr. 14 min. 16 sec.
Harrison Schmitt 12/11/72 to 12/13/72 22 hr. 3 min. 57 sec.
Eugene Cernan 12/11/72 to 12/13/72 22 hr. 3 min. 57 sec.

This might help too...

they really need to start sending people back. Not for exploration but to set up a permanent moon base.

Thanks McPhreak for the clarification.

 

[djheater]

None

That is a massive project and the government at this point in time will not fund any extravagant space programs.

Star Wars comes to mind.

Only 2 people from the crew landed on the moon (not the 3 like you assumed). Somebody had to fly in the command module while the other 2 guys were jumping around on the moon.

Unfortunately there isn't much we could get out of ol' Luna. She doesn't have much metals and has very little ice. It would be a good place to put telescopes on though, considering you get 2 weeks of darkness. Another use could be Helium3 mining for fusion but that's a long way off.

It would really suck to be the person that had to stay in the command module. I mean who really remembers the name Michael Collins?

Damnit, I forgot about that guy in the module.
