Why in the 1970s, with simpler technology, humans could and dared to land several times on the moon? Meanwhile, with more advanced technology, we were not as brave as before.

[@rockethead7]

Huh? What makes you think it has anything to do with technology?

[@williammann9176]

Ono GIA: Brave has nothing to do with it unless you mean the lack of it with politicians. This is a short history of why the Lunar Missions stopped in 1972. Also why it is taking so long to get back. Congress started cutting NASA's budget even before NASA got to the moon. 1966 was NASA's biggest budget year. They got approximately 4.6% of the U.S. G.D.P.. This is while they were still building the infrastructure for Apollo and they hoped an infrastructure to get them beyond the moon to Mars by 1981-2. After 1966 NASA's budget went on a steady decline. Originally the first phase of Lunar Exploration was to go to Apollo 20. NASA had built in the infrastructure for a continuous supply of CSMs LMs and SaturnVs. Plans were in the works for upgraded CSM, LMs and SaturnVs. NASA even built prototype pressurized LRVs for use on planned Lunar Colonies. There were plans for more then 1 Skylab as a stepping stone for larger Space Stations. Original plans for the Space Shuttle were for a much more elaborate system to ferry astronauts and equipment to and from the ever expanding Space Stations. They were even looking at plans for making the Saturn V's first and second stages recoverable and reusable. Originally Launch Complex 39 was to have 6 launch pads. Then it got cut to 3, then only 2 were built. They built 3 mobile launch towers, but only 2 were ever used. All the working plans and proposals are still there to be seen. With NASA’s budget being cut after 1966, bit by bit NASA’s ambitious plans started to dwindle. After Apollo 11 it was planned to have 4 Apollo launches a year till Apollo 20. This soon got cut to 2 per year and at the same time Apollo 20 was cancelled. In late 1970 future contracts to build more Apollo CSMs, LMs and Saturn Vs were cancelled. The remaining 5 CSM: 3 would be used for Skylab of which there would only be 1 Skylab now. One CSM was planned for the then hopeful Apollo Soyuz mission and the last CSM(now in a museum) was modified to hold 5 people as a potential rescue mission for Skylab crews. One of the remaining three SaturnVs would be used to launch Skylab, the last two are now museum pieces. NASA’s budget continued to get cut and along with it Space Shuttle kept being scaled back from what NASA wanted. In 1975 NASA started to redo Pad 39A for the coming Space Shuttle. But NASA kept begging to get Apollo going again and maintained Pad 39B for Apollo and tried to maintain as much of the Apollo infrastructure and talent as they could. But by 1977 it was clear Apollo was dead. So NASA let the Apollo infrastructure and talent atrophy away. Through the terms of Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama, NASA was pushed and pulled in many directions with start and stop goals given and taken away. All of them with plans to return to the moon. Bush 2 laid out the most promising plan for a return to the moon in 2004 with the Constellation Program. It called for a return to the moon before 2014. In 2010 Obama cancelled Constellation after a lot of money and effort had been spent. All with budgets nothing like the had in 1966. The current Artemis plans which rose out of the ashes of Constellation are 12 years old and moving at a snails pace on a shoestring budget. Another reason it is taking so long. Go look up NASA’s plans and dreams. Would have been amazing had they been allowed to carry on. NASA was thinking exploration, human expansion and potential research science and resources to gain. The government thought, beat the USSR and not much more.

[@antonboludo8886]

@@rockethead7 4-5 miles is still pretty far, though. Quite scary. Luckily you cannot really get lost because the tracks you made are still there. But what if the space suit conks out? You must always trust the equipment.

[@rockethead7]

Sure, but, ya know, these guys were going to the moon, not taking a commercial airliner flight. There were risks all over the place. Most of them were test pilots (and that's not exactly a "safe" career). Prior to being an astronaut, Cernan's last job was to train for WWIII, to fly along the tree line with nuclear bombs strapped to the bottom of his plane, get to the city he was supposed to bomb, pull up into a vertical climb, release the bomb (flinging it upward), then to pull out of that at top speed and get away before the bomb blows him to smithereens. Armstrong had 78 combat missions, including one where he was shot down behind enemy lines. Aldrin had 2 combat kills under his belt. The list goes on. These guys weren't exactly afraid to take risks. The rover traverses were planned to hit the furthest point in the traverse toward the beginning of the EVA. They may have one or two stops before getting to the furthest point. But, basically, the idea was that they would first go far, then snake their way back, thus allowing the most oxygen remaining in their backpacks for the furthest distances, and would go closer and closer to the lunar module as they used their oxygen supply. What happens if there are suit problems? Well, each PLSS backpack had an OPS system on top (which included a small spare supply of oxygen, good for around 1/2 hour). They could also share air between the two astronauts if they needed. Those hoses you see on the suits could be plugged and unplugged, and if one guy's PLSS failed completely, they could share with the other one's PLSS to get back safely. The suits themselves had 13 layers of ripstop fabrics in the outer garment, plus another half dozen layers under that, including a self-sealing layer (a lot like WWII fighter planes had self-sealing fuel tanks in the wings if they get hit by bullets). And, if somehow all of that failed, they were trained on how to patch small holes. A large hole that instantly depressurizes the entire suit would render the astronaut unconscious in about 2 minutes, and dead a few more minutes after that. But, that's a lot of time (relatively) for the other astronaut to try to patch something together to pressurize his partner's suit again. And, yeah, of course, beyond that, sure, it would be fatal if none of those things worked. But, I think the engineers designed things to be more resilient than you might know (?).

It is still not 100% foolproof but it is very close. The astronauts also needed a very high level of mental and emotional toughness as well. They must possess so many qualities and abilities on so many levels. They are the elite of humanity in many respects.

There is a program called Artemis. Artemis I has already flown. It was unmanned, orbited the moon and came back. Artemis II will fly a similar mission but with astronauts on board. Artemis III plans to land men on the moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972.

They've already contracted Blue to be a "2nd lander" to the SpaceX version. As far as I'm concerned, it's only a matter of time before they cancel SpaceX altogether. I was shocked from Day-1 that they even chose SpaceX and that hideous monstrosity. But, when the person on the NASA board who was leading them to select SpaceX got a high paying job at SpaceX, yeah, it made more sense about why that happened. As soon as Blue shows that they're ready to fly, my guess is that NASA will dump SpaceX. SpaceX is a joke of a rocket company, powered more by hype than rocket fuel.

After 50 years of thermal cycling, probably not.

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

@@Hobbes746 But there’d be no corrosion.

[@Hobbes746]

@@JoeRivermanSongwriter Correct, no corrosion. Thermal cycling means the rover is exposed to big changes in temperature. Materials expand and contract at different rates when the temperature changes. So in anything made of a combination of materials, e.g. a printed circuit board, you get large forces pulling components apart. I suspect you’d have to completely replace the electrical system, and all moving parts with tight tolerances (wheel bearings, for instance) to get an LRV to run again.

The scene with James McDivitt in mission control is not from Apollo 17 (probably Apollo 16). McDivitt did not believe the non test pilot, Gene Cernan, was not worthy of command of Apollo 17 over test pilot Richard Gordon. Deke Slayton did not consult with McDivitt prior to the selection, and McDivitt quit NASA in June of 1972. Apollo 17 flew in December of 1972. Otherwise, a good documentary.

Horisont is always black, but it looks like it’s daylight on the planet according to the shadows. Other footage is I’ve seen from another flight actually is a little strange because the lighting doesn’t match up always with what’s perceived. And in addition, it’s always black in the horizon, but no stars again. And then that other footage that I was speaking about with the shadows in my job putting the flag up and I know it was stiff so it would be straight up for some reason but there’s supposed to be no airflow there and yet there was on the flag. It was stiff and attached to a stick.

[@williammann9176]

You need to do some real research as to why the stars do not show. Can you see the stars on Earth during the day? There was a metal rod holding the flag out. Again a little real research would help you there. Also again, just because it does not look like you think it should does not mean it is not real.

I wonder How did they handle the heat? It’s 125 degree Celsius on the noon.

[@rockethead7]

Your English is a bit incorrect. But, I'm sure it's better than my [your language]. So, thanks for writing in English. Yes, at the lunar noon, the surface is very hot. They handled it by never going at the lunar noon. They always landed early in the lunar morning, long before it ever got that hot.

[@Hobbes746]

@@rockethead7 Also, it’s easier to deal with high temperatures when you are in the vacuum of space: when you reflect most of the sunlight away, your spacecraft won’t heat up.

[@rockethead7]

@@Hobbes746 Sure. But, yes and no. Some of the equipment on the lunar surface wouldn't have actually handled a lunar high noon. But, you're absolutely correct, without an atmosphere to conduct the heat via direct contact, the only method of heat transfer is radiant, which is a lot slower than direct contact, and yes, it helps.

[@VFilippkinZone]

By the way, on the moon, the temperature in the sun reaches 160 degrees Celsius. How long can you sit in the sauna?

No, the highest temperature is 120 Celsius. And, no Apollo mission ever landed when it was that hot. They all landed early in the lunar morning, long before the temperature got that high.
