Im suprised he said anything, as silence has been his creed for a long time now. Cool that he did this, it would be cool to hear him tell the whole story from launch to landing.

That'd be awesome. I'd love to ride on a Saturn V rocket. Hell, I'd like to see one launched, at night.
Interesting. I hearby volunteer for whenever we go back. Its almost that hot in iraq :lmao:

Theres no transformers on the dark side of the moon, its reserved strictly for Space Marines, who are currently fighting the early Zerg invasion, while waiting for support from the protoss. Duh.

Of course silence has been his creed. It takes a LONG time for an old man like that to memorize his story. He knew that if he talked before getting his lines just right, everyone would realize the moon landing was faked. :lol:

People who think the moon landing is fake are idiots... Especially when we still have man made markers up there, placed on Armstrongs moonwalk, that can be seen through a walmart telescope.

Why haven't we went back if we did it over 40 yrs ago?
Why haven't we went back if we did it over 40 yrs ago?
Because we currently have no need. Theres no life forms up there, theres nothing hospitable at the moment, and were a long, long ways from being able to mine any of its minerals.
There IS an American Flag and plaque commemorating the moon landing ON THE MOON.
Russians did not put up American memorabilia to make Americans happy. I've heard Rogan, he's an idiot and a conspiracy theorist. With 40 years to come up with ideas, they are bound to come up withsomething the fools will believe.
Hell, were building a station in space, and people are doubting that astronaughts have been on the moon?
As I said, go ANYWHERE that has high powered telescopes (not hubble powered, just good, regular scopes) and you can see the plaque, put on the moon by Aldrin and Armstrong. Anyone who says different is a fool.

I said listen to Rogan DEBATE because, believe it or not...he has done serious research on this and I dont wanna link a shitload of web sites and news stories, and he asks the questions in public forums. Why would the Russians put American shit on the moon? Thats just silly to say. There have been so many studies, hypothesies, research, mineral studies, living studies...so much to to there. Man has not been higher than 400 miles since, why? If we have the capability, why not? We have been in the ocean...why go back? We have been past Saturn...why go back? They say the reason we dont go back to the moon is because we dont have the equipment. Thats like having a Veyron in the garage and starving to death because you cant figure out how to get to the grocery a block away. Did you know the telemetry from some of the Apollo missions to the moon was lost? Did you know that the rocks they brought back and gave to other governments was found to be Earthen in make up? You can not see the flag on the moon with anything you can buy at Walmart. Don't believe...look it up, look up Dawe's limit for Resolution of an optical Telescope. If they put a plaque on the moon it would have to be about an 800 foot square for you to see it from Earth. The laser reflectors were put there by unmanned vehicles. Plus...How did any of the spacecraft get through the Van Allen radiation belt...the one that has cooked a few satellites made to live through it since then? How did the Astronaut survive the solar flare radiation...if even now it disrupts shit on earth? Too many questions, not even including the fact that they never actually saw anyone on the moon...it was shot and brought back, only to be seen after they landed and it was developed and edited. They had a full scale Moon Landing set on the Earth, they shot film there, they practiced, just like they practiced in the pool(which is almost the same movements if you look, but thats a whole other arguement). Believe me...I want to believe they landed...but after seeing things and reading things and questions...I just dont. Why didnt they interview the astronauts when they got home? Why wait so long? By the way...recent findings, the footage from Apollo 11 has gone missing...Dun dun dun....

Last time a human went to the very bottom of the ocean (35,000 ft below sea level) was in the 1960's I believe...........And nobody has done it since. Why? Because it's already been done, so you couldn't brag about it anymore. No conspiracy there.

We have been to the ocean floor constantly...even James Cameron has his own deep sea sub and goes there. Not into Challenger Deep...but the ocean floor.

Of course, but he doesn't go to 35,000 ft.......because there's not really anything there, and also because his subs aren't qualified to go that deep if I recall correctly. Only those primitive, heavy, non-powered spherical bubble shits can do it, and those things can't carry much in the way of movie-making equipment, so he doesn't bother.

We send unmanned submersibles to those depths. If I am not mistaken, the deep sea explorations are mostly funded by private companies, with assistance from the Government, not done entirely by Government entities.

And have anyone of us been to the moon to see said plaque and flag? Negative...Im a see it to believe it kind of guy. Mythbusters did a show on it, said the hoax wasnt a hoax....But they get paid, they could tell you pigs can fly and we're gonna believe them.

Prove they landed. Show proof beyond a shadow of doubt they did what they said. Prove the government doesnt lie. Answer my questions. Prove the theories are false. Show me the telemetry. Show the original footage. disprove the therories that the landing was faked. Show that the rock that was gifted, as actual moon rock and certified by Nasa scientists and signed by the Astronauts as the rock they picked and brought back was not fake. Show me I am wrong.

What, the Government says we went...
Theres a Hard Argument on both angles...I think its very possible we didnt go...Noone has ever been able to explain how we as humans made it through all that radiation unaffected.
Why haven't we went back if we did it over 40 yrs ago?
Because NASA started hiring per Affirmative Action instead of the best of the best. The best of the best is now in private industry.
We also started focusing on low earth orbit spaceflight. The space shuttle was never meant to go past this type of spaceflight.
It took a ton of high level engineering to make it possible and we are having trouble recreating that level of engineering with the new Titan rockets. It's sad we took much bigger steps in very short time frames and now we can't do it because we don't have the skills and knowledge we did when the space race was big.

They calculated times when major solar flares were unlikely. Things like water and metals were used which could deflect a lot of radiation. Their flight trajectory was devised such that they would fly through the Van Allen Belt where NASA wanted them to and only had a few hour exposure duration.
The human body can also deal with getting dosed pretty well by certain radiations as well.

Trip, Do you really believe that the rocket scientist now are not as smart as the rocket scientist then or that the smartest thinkers are drawn to other, more lucrative fields?

I think we have more knowledge about space flight and what we need to do it and have a lot of shit to copy from, but we don't have the people who can progress it as fast as the guys who did it back then.
I honestly don't think the best of the best are becoming rocket scientists. I think they are now are in different fields. It's a different government than it was back then. They actively went after the best of the best, budget be damned. NASA can't do that anymore. They got to do more with less.
I had an interview with NASA coming out of college. I thought it was strange I was able to get an interview with them because I wasn't a top flight engineer. I made honors and such, but I am not going to kid myself that I was a summa cum laude MIT grad. My feelings for it being strange turned out to be true. The interviewer said much nicer than I am putting it here, that they were looking for disabled engineers and they had heard UT had a large population of them and they had to fill so many interviews while on campus. Talk about dreams coming crashing down on you. That really pissed me off.

It takes a seed to start a forest, when one person askes a question, and noone can provide an answer, it raises more questions. I was a believer, so much that I argued the same as you, until I realized that the arguement of "you are an idiot" or "They have pictures" or "They left shit on the moon" was as much speculation as someone saying it may have been faked. If it was that they did the best work back then, why cant we make it better now? Phones, cars, planes and computers...all improved...but we go backwards with rockets. Why? We have the technology...even Nasa admits that. They had a Nazi...we have computers that think for themselves and design shit without human assistance. Again, I want to believe, but I have more questions than answers and the answers are disappearing and proof is "lost". You cant deny that fake rocks, no telemetry, lost footage and the fact that we, as people who dont need to invent the technology, just replicate what has been made, cant get back raise questions. And before anyone says..."we dont need to go back" Its been a plan of Nasa's and they have rallied for a return ever since it was accomplished the first time.How are we to visit Mars, but we cant get back to the moon? By the way...The towers were taken down by Muslim extremists, we dont have microchips in our skin and JFK was killed by Oswald...my beliefs, so fuck off with the 911 theorist bullshit, they are whack jobs...I have questions...not theories.
