Coming up for 50 years almost since we went there. How come we've never been back again?

Bet they bumped into Mr Spoon and he chased them off with The Hot Spots! Eggbert was cracking up. Queenie Jelly was quivering. Mrs Spoon was having a threesome with Small Bottle and Captain Large just in case the aliens from Earth came to distroy The Moon. Mr Cherry and the Band were playing Dark Side of the Button Moon!

We never went. We all have to get over it.

NASA even claims that they have "lost the technology" which would enable them to go back to the Moon. So we're going to Mars instead!

Even the Moon Buggy was not able to be fitted to the LEM when the sizes were checked a few years back. They also apparently did some repairs to one of the dustguards above one of the wheels... seriously you should have a look at this crap.

You really couldn't make this nonsense up. But many people just cannot bear to see they were fooled... and that's because it is easier to fool people... than it is to persuade people and get them to admit they have been fooled.

I am not an idiot.

I can only suggest an excellent factual and scientific presentation like the one in the quote. What it demands is that anyone interested watches, engages brain, listens, thinks and makes their own mind up.

If you choose to believe that the USA fired half a dozen or so successful (every time never lost a man) missions to the Moon and back in three years playing Golf and riding Dune Buggies repaired with gaffer tape (NASA website photos) then go right ahead and believe it. You tell us why no-one else has ever been or why the US NASA has "lost the technology". Pocket calculators and teflon frying pans - the trickle-down technology?

I mean really. What kind of idiots do they think we are?

That's part of the problem - they daren't let anyone discover that earth is flat and other conspiracy BS is just that, resulting in people focusing on important things instead

Apparently Trump has called NASA out and tasked them to return to the moon?

I think there's plenty to be discovered and loadsa questions still to be answered. Is the place just too hostile to be inhabited? Is the average temperature 107C as I heard? Can this be dealt with? Are the suits too unsafe? If they fall and tear the suit?

One thing I was surprised to see from the auxiliary footage, released by mistake. On the Apollo 11 mission; Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins putting a crescent shape over the window to make the Earth appear smaller and further away, and switching off the craft lights to make the inside black like space. It's disconcerting so cut that crap out next time!

Since then that footage has been made more public with some sort of explanation, but they edited out the third voice on the comm prompting Armstrong to "Talk".

I haven't seen the explanation but I hope it's wholly more convincing than Edgar Mitchell's son's assertion that "What, they can't have a bit of fun??" before Mitchell Sr then literally kicked the investigator who the auxiliary footage had mistakenly been sent to, in the ass and out of the house.

Then in the kerfuffle and haste to escape, as Mitchell was apparently going for his shotgun, the investigator (the very same guy who got punched by Buzz Aldrin!) forgot the Mic equipment or to switch it off, so got to hear Mitchell's

son exclaim to him "You want me to call the CIA? Have them waxed??" And he wasn't joking. Interesting that he felt the need to go that far. I know the guy was annoying but...

This guy, Bart Sibrel, does have a sense of humour to be fair, as he then went and made a little short for fun I saw, where he is indeed captured by the CIA and literally waxed. As in tortured by having strips placed on his skin and then yanked off painfully!

Well it's all a good laugh, I like telling this tale. Reality is stranger than fiction sometimes

Also I saw a documentary showing the moon is infested with spider rocks. I saw it on TV. No wonder they were reluctant to go back. Ewww skin crawls!

Yeah the moon is very beautiful isn't it?

Trump called NASA out? They dont have any space capable vehicles at all. Let alone one capable of long range and return flight. They use Russian rockets to get to the space station.

If we go back to leave footprints on the moon it will be Chinese or Indian missions.

To which extent does your scientific knowledge extend?? The whole thing was staged to appear smarter than Russia. Do you honestly believe the government are incapable of lying? There’s an exhaustive list of examples that proves how decietful governments can be. Unless you’ve got proof to suggest otherwise, please sit down and don’t comment on facts you aren’t educated on

Six space missions in three years, last one in 1972!! Are you really that gullible? If it was that easy to travel to the moon, easyJet would be offering flights by now. Almost 50 years later and no ones been back since? Ask yourself why that may be, considering humans love conquering new territory

So why were china and russia in on it as the chinese recently jist photographed one of the landing sites.

And the soviet union bankrupted themselves trying to beat the Americans there yet they conceded the americans won.

Nasa hasnt lost the technology but it currently doesnt have anything operational that can even put a man in space let alone the moon. They use russian rockets atm.

Theres a world lf differmce between an organisation with the full power and treasury of the USA behind it and an organisation with its budget constantly slashed.

Going to the moon is now a commercial venture not a scientific one so nasa isnt really insterested

And of course governments lie, like how the entirely civilian space program ended up doing a lot of cutting edge reconosense. Was it sky lab or the early shuttle missions that found themselves host to one of the first sidelooking radars with an orbital path that went over russia an awful lot lol.

But at this point your asking us to belive;

The USA,

Russia

China

The uk

France

At the minimum were all in on a plan to fool the Russians along with thousands of ham radio enthusiast and amature astronomers.

Because the moon is a giant man made object which nobody knows who created it and is made of a man made metal, big conspiracy theory read about it quite interesting, its possible its just a way of other life monitoring earth, its also in relative size way too big to be in earths gravity, so again they dont understand how its in our orbit when its size doesnt match the laws of physics hence why all the other plabets have tiny moons, yet earths moon is nearly the same size in comparison

1. Any and all costs of going to the moon can be gotten back by just scooping up moon dust and bringing it back. It may look like a dusty rock, but that dust is worth more than gold or diamonds, you have to imagine it is nothing but diamond and gold up there.

one bucket of the stuff could power a city the size of LA for like a month. (this is why china is going, green energy that can last thousands of years).

"America's biggest enemy was Russia

They were in the race to get to the moon

Russia said America did it.

But that's ok, you have seen a video on YouTube

And you expect people to take you seriously?"

This is basically a lie. Russia and America were not enemies at the time. Like people think the cold war, JFK drew a line on a map and the Russians backed down. But Russia had thousands of nuclear missiles in cuba already, and tens of thousands of troops, and America actually agreed to their demands to remove missiles from Turkey, and stop developing certain missiles, as Russia didnt have the money anymore for the arms race.

Russia also didnt have the money for the space race anymore, there is no reason why Russia would not have went second just to get the moon dust and recoup the costs they had put into their moon race so far. But.... They didnt. They realized they were not weeks away or even years, but decades away from getting to the moon. They had spotted several factors such as radiation, and indeed the moon dust itself that would kill everyone that went.

Moon dust is statically charged. It will stick to everything, it is also like little glass balls. It is not smooth, so it will wear out wheels, gears, gear. Also if it gets in your lungs you have basically inhaled the most coarse glass you could imagine.

Nasa astronaughts by mistake said they knew what the moon smelled like because the dirt was on their clothes etc.

However if you really smelled the moon, by transferring dirt into the area, you would probably be bleeding out your nose and mouth.

It would be like saying "yeah coarse abrasive glass/diamond dust smells nice".

This was something unkown to nasa at the time, but known to the russians.

We still have not overcome the coarse dust problem that sticks to everything, hence china sending robots, and hence going to Mars.

Mars once had an atmosphere, rivers, winds, so the dust will be like earth dust. It will have worn down through climate to something more like earth sand.

Isn’t there more evidence we may find helium three on the moon because it has no atmosphere? If so it can be used to fuel space ships of the furlture. Hence the more interest in returning.

But one thing I don’t get, how in the late 60’s and early 70’s did we pass through the van allen belt?

Im for my own sanity assuming this is a joke.

But if it isnt size doesnt make a difference when it comes to gravity its mass.

Aim for the weaker spots and go as fast as possible and accept the risks of cancers (i think many if not all did get thyroid cancers later)

Like the liquidators in Chernobyl running up the stairs on to the roof of the burning reactor scooping up some rubble and hurling it back in then runing away again in crudely made lead aprons. Hoping to do it in under a miniute

Thousands of them died of cancers later.

Theres a photographer whos name i forget who wrapped his camera in lead and stayed on the roof longer to document the men hes had numerous cancers iirc

Still according to the pop sci article nasa recorded they were exposed to less than the yearly limit for nuclear workers each trip.

Helium 3 is more for fueling potential fusion reactors on earth.

The water thats in the moon dust is what is planned to be used for rocket fuel (hydrogen and oxygen).

But both would require massive strip mining operations.
