[Rochard]

That's our educational system at work here ladies....

[seeandsee]

And 40 years from last landing they can't repeat it?
That is crazy, space base on moon is minimum they should have make by now

Yep, seen it with my wife recently, and we had a good laugh time

The same happened in Costa Rica - The bloody Americans - They find a nice vacation spot, they are shipped in by the truckload and the prices double.

Alan Shepard played golf on the moon, too...
:breaking news:

[Tom_PM]

I remember the first moon landing and the subsequent ones too. It's too bad the country doesn't have anything like that uniting it in these times. Ironically there used to be much more of a feeling of community and unity while we worried about communism taking over.

Whats the big goal as a country these days?

[crockett]

Que the retards claiming we never landed on the moon.. 6 times..

Oh wait 1 is already here. This topic will now be 10 pages long and will be filled with everything from faked moon landings to US govt or jews blowing up the WTT.

Of course not a single one will even state any actual opinion as to why they think this to be true but will only post links to other idiots ramblings on the internet.

Yup, they went to the Moon, discovered it wasn't made of cheese, and moved on...

[rogueteens]

Everybody knows that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick got there first anyway

[Dirty F]

Yup, went back several times. I thought this was common knowledge.
I wonder why the conspiracy nuts never mention this btw.

From http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/...y_go_back.html

Returning to the 21st century: Given these splendid accomplishments by astronauts on the Moon, why bother to go back? Should we not "declare victory" and stay on (or near) Earth? Here are some reasons go back, although not necessarily to "colonize" the Moon.

First, and most fundamental: the last few decades of space exploration and astronomy have shown that the universe is violent and dangerous, at least with respect to human life. To give a pertinent example: in 1908 an object of unknown nature ? probably a comet ? hit Siberia with a force equivalent to a hydrogen bomb. Had this impact happened a few hours later, allowing for the Earth?s rotation, this object would have destroyed St. Petersburg and probably much else. Going back some 65 million years, it is now essentially proven that an even greater impact wiped out not only the dinosaurs but most species living on Earth at the time. The importance of catastrophic impacts has only been demonstrated in recent decades, and space exploration has played a key role.

The bleak conclusion to which these facts point is that humanity is vulnerable as long as we are confined to one planet. Obviously, we must increase our efforts to preserve this planet and its biosphere, an effort in which NASA satellites have played a vital role for many years. But uncontrollable external events may destroy our civilization, perhaps our species. We can increase our chances of long-term survival by dispersal to other sites in the solar system.

Where can we go? At the moment, human life exists only on the Earth. But with modern technology, there are several other possibilities, starting with the Moon itself. Men have lived on the Moon for as long as three days, admittedly in cramped quarters, but they found the lunar surface easy to deal with and the Moon?s gravity comfortable and helpful. (Dropped tools, for example, didn?t float away into space as they do occasionally in Earth orbit.) To be sure, it would be an enormous and probably impossible task to transform the Moon into another Earth. However, it is clear that a lunar outpost comparable to, for example, the Little America of the 1930s, is quite feasible.

But what could such an outpost accomplish? First, it could continue the exploration of the Moon, whose surface area is roughly that of North and South America combined. Six "landings" in North America would have given us only a superficial knowledge of this continent, and essentially none about its natural resources such as minerals, oil, water power, and soil. The Moon is a whole planet, so to speak, whose value is only beginning to be appreciated.

The Moon is not only an interesting object of study, but a valuable base for study of the entire Universe, by providing a site for astronomy at all wavelengths from gamma rays to extremely long radio waves. This statement would have been unquestioned 30 years ago. But the succeeding decades of spectacular discoveries by space-based instruments, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, have led many astronomers such as Nobel Laureate John Mather to argue that the Moon can be by-passed, and that instruments in deep space at relatively stable places called Lagrangian points are more effective.

A meeting was held at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, in November 2006, on "Astrophysics Enabled by the Return to the Moon." This institute runs the Hubble Space Telescope program. However, the consensus emerging from the Baltimore meeting was that there are still valuable astronomical uses for instruments on the lunar surface. For example, low-frequency radio astronomy can only be effective from the far side of the Moon, where static from the Earth?s aurora is shielded. Another example of Moon-based astronomy can be the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), by radio telescopes that on the far side would be shielded from terrestrial interference. Small telescopes on the Moon?s solid surface could be linked to form interferometer arrays with enormous resolving power. Astronomy in a limited sense has already been done from the Moon, namely the Apollo 16 Ultraviolet telescope emplaced by Apollo astronauts and before that, the simple TV observations of Earth-based lasers by the Surveyor spacecraft. The much-feared lunar dust had no effect on these pioneering instruments.

The Moon may offer mineral resources, so to speak, of great value on Earth. Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt, working with the Fusion Technology Institute of the University of Wisconsin, has shown that helium 3, an isotope extremely rare on Earth, exists in quantity in the lunar soil, implanted by the solar wind. If ? a very big if ? thermonuclear fusion for energy is produced on Earth, helium 3 would be extremely valuable for fusion reactors because it does not make the reactor radioactive. A more practicable use of helium 3, being tested at the University of Wisconsin, is the production of short-lived medical isotopes. Such isotopes must now be manufactured in cyclotrons and quickly delivered before they decay. But Dr. Schmitt suggests that small helium 3 reactors could produce such isotopes at the hospital. In any event, research on the use of helium 3 would clearly benefit if large quantities could be exported to the Earth.

Returning to the most important reason for a new lunar program, dispersal of the human species, the most promising site for such dispersal is obviously Mars, now known to have an atmosphere and water. Mars itself is obviously a fascinating object for exploration. But it may even now be marginally habitable for astronaut visits, and in the very long view, might be "terraformed," or engineered to have a more Earth-like atmosphere and climate. This was described in Kim Stanley Robinson?s trilogy, Red Mars and its successors Green and Blue Mars. A second Earth, so to speak, would greatly improve our chances of surviving cosmic catastrophes.

[seeandsee]

Common knowledge in country under sanctions, war and shit of all kind, is not really more than mention of 1st landing in few sentences, unfortunately, without any real since class in school...

ps - i asked few people today, some younger, some older, and nobody know exact number, answers from 1 to 100

But i have my hole life to learn new stuff, and i still can't believe i did't find out this info earlier, and i love to read all kind of space articles, news and even books, crazy but i never stumble upon this topic or i really dont remember...

We may have landed on the moon, but there is plenty of evidence suggesting that the moon landing videos were indeed faked.

I never know there was 6 moon landings, wtf??!?

One of my earliest memories was watching the Apollo 11 landings (July 1969) with my Dad. I was 4 years old at the time. He was so happy when this happened that he cried. After it was over he talked about heroes, bravery, science, ambition etc, but mostly about science.

I would then go outside to look at the moon to see if I could see the lander. The next day my dad bought me a telescope to get a closer look. I still couldn't see the lander it but thought that I could anyway. What I could see were the craters in more detail, and I imagined that the edges of the craters must look like mountains from the astronauts point of view. Later on he bought me a 45RPM record of the audio recording of that landing. So cool.

It's too bad that there are no more moon shots. Mars is more exciting of course but the real deal will be when an actual person lands again on the moon, or mars, or an asteroid. That will be really exciting.

Kubrick supposedly had something to do with helping them make the movies. I have friends writing a screenplay about this and there's plenty of evidence available that backs this idea up.

[candyflip]

Those videos posted above point out a lot of discrepancies in the official story.

That would make you the first person with evidence that the landing was faked. I'm on the phone with CNN now. Can you please provide this evidence asap.

Please point out anywhere that I've said that we landing was faked. I don't doubt that the US landed men on the moon.

But the original landing video was very likely faked. This isn't something I'm just making up. People have been debating it for years and there is plenty evidence to back it up.

The ancient videos from the first page might open up your eyes for starters.

the only evidence that is missing is one out of thousands of people that were involved to talk - like in the whole 9/11 conspiracy

it would need only ONE person to come up and talk - or testify on his death bed or in his testament. yet no one did it.

secrets are uncovered all the time, just in those 2 cases - which would both involve thousands of people (like i said above) - no one ever said even one word. isnt that weird?

[Pandoras]

hahaha really good stories everyone has different opinion :D i like it

[candyflip]

It's all just a theory. Much like most other large scale Gov't programs...we probably never know.

Again, I don't doubt man has walked on the moon. The story the world was shown was more than likely faked.

This is an interesting read if you're the least bit open minded on the topic or are a fan of filmmaking

post a link where someone testifies under oath that he was personally involved in any of those two operations and it was ordered by the government

[MaDalton]

i dont see a link

[scottybuzz]

you idiots such as jonnyclips do realise the moon isn't real and just a hologram to deflect attention from 9/11?

[helterskelter808]

Tens of thousands of people were involved in D-Day, but who knew about it before it happened? Who leaked Operation Northwoods? Why would people in Mission Control have to know that Buzz and Neil were on a sound stage in Area 51?

The only 'evidence' there is for the moon landings is crummy video and images, which everyone knows can be manipulated and faked.

We apparently pulled off a logistical and scientific miracle in the 60s, yet 40 years later, with vast improvements in science and technology, where Google can map the world and show your car in the driveway, we can beam images from the surface of Mars, the best NASA can do with the Moon is grainy images of tiny white blobs that are supposed to be the landing sites?

When Yuri G became the first man in space, did NASA tell Shepard 'close but no cigar'? No, he simply became the second man in space. So what prevented the USSR trying to land on the moon, if Apollo 11 'proved' it was possible?
