@rado van On the moon? There is undeniable proof we have been there. Moon regolith on Earth, mirrors on the moon to track distance, telescopic pictures that show the flag, apollo landing sites and tracks from the lunar rover. And the US rival the Soviet Union who had countless spies in the US at the time monitoring all their activities on Apollo and the Soviet Union not once has said the US faked it. And how could tens of thousands who worked on apollo keep it a secret for over 50 years? or why the US spent tens of billions to create a rocket capable of going to the moon to not go to the moon? If you think its fake you lack a substantial amount of intelligence.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@jeesusaamen6753 We have the proof. Get lost

[@Obeythebeard]

The simple answer is that going there in the first place in 1969 was the end result of a super power dick measuring contest. America proved it's prowess and the USSR kept quiet about its shortcomings for more than twenty years. It was quite simply about prestige, not science. It all started with a question to then NASA chief "What could we do to beat the Russians in space?". The answers were all a bit vague and boring except for one - putting a man on the moon before the decade was out. NASA knew it would take a lot of effort and funding but that it was feasible. One man, one decade - catchy proposal! So, the technology was already within grasp in 1961 but just not fully developed. Add billions of dollars, the sharpest minds of a nation and the undying support of the government and you have yourself a moon flight. Remember that the Eniac computer calculated trajectories in three dimensions all the way back in the forties so computers weren't all that new.

[@Bjowolf2]

They have been busy with many other projects, they had already done it 6 ( + 3 ) times, the Apollo technology was becoming obsolete, there were no more huge Saturn V5 rockets available ( the last ones were spent along with some rebuilt Apollo spacecrafts on the Spacelab & the Apollo-Soyuz projects in the mid-70s ), and NASA's budgets were cut drastically after 1972. A lot of the subcontractors started doing other things or went bust, their production lines were scrapped, NASA experts resigned, were fired, retired or started working on other projects etc. When you see it in that light, it's really not that hard to understand what happened - we still know exactly how to go there ( have NOT forgotten or lost it, as some people like to claim 🙄 ), but we simply haven't had the actual components ready at hand ( until now! ), nor the trained experts and their experience and practical knowhow - and what would be the point anyway of just redoing what was already done 6 ( + 3 ) times with obsolete technology and methods? So of course you have to reinvent everything for a new Moon program with modern technology, new methods and advanced and very powerful and efficient computers and robot technology etc. , but naturally with the very valuable experiences of the Apollo program in mind.

The discovery is not of "deposits." Titanium is widespread across the moon as the mineral Ilmenite. This has been known for decades. Imagine the mining infrastructure that would have to be transported to the moon to refine Titanium ore from lunar regolith. Even on Earth, it is one of the most difficult metals to extract and refine from the ore. That's why it's so expensive! Not because it's a rare mineral. (Titanium is very common on Earth.)

Why do you think that we stopped? I don't understand why some people think that after the Apollo missions NASA (and the rest) stopped doing anything. When it comes to human space flight they just focused on going cheap and often into low earth orbit, so they build the space shuttle. A NASA manager calls it the best and most complex machine ever built by engineers. It brought up the Hubble telescope, which gave us new and amazing pictures and insights of the universe. It has built the ISS, the biggest man made object in space ever, which is running for more than 20 years now, and is inhabitated without a break. And of course we send probes to all planets in the solar system, plus moons and asteroids. And the some even has left the solar system. We had several rovers on Mars. We have built the James Webb Telescope. Yes, of course we could have done even more (NASA bugdet was heavily reduced after the Apollo missions). But to say that we have stopped and would be 500 years ahead is just wrong.

It is exciting that our leaders have begun to see the great potentials in planetary explorations that will yield much in unraveling the mysteries yet to be uncovered in the cosmos instead in squandering our human and economic resources toward greater more powerful weapons that can lead our species and civilizations to their demise ; which is Madness !

Just curious that if humans built structures on the moon surface, what chances are there of a rock from space hitting them. Just that they talk about rocks hitting the moon frequently so that would be quite risky for such an expensive structure and the people living inside. I guess it is a big place so the odds are in their favour.

[@oggamer735]

Rock’s hit just as frequently to earth as the moon. So they would be quite safe but everything else is quite hard there like living in vacuum of the Space and collecting resources and fixing everything.

[@daveeol1987]

​@Og gamer they burn up in earth's atmosphere. No atmosphere on the moon

[@oggamer735]

@@daveeol1987 most burn up or bounce back like Rock’s skip on water surface but still everyday there is pieces falling down to earth somewhere most just drop to remote places like ocean, there is very small chance to get hit either in earth or moon. That is not the problem. Getting there and getting the resources there and making things like water and air also food and energy and radiation is huge problem in moon and Space also maintenance work is way harder in moon. But still seems really odd that we havent made base there since moon missions. Hope that we do it really soon.

[@leonardgibney2997]

I've never understood how the moonwalkers weren't hit by meteorites. A hundred tons of meteorites hit the Earth annually so it must be worse on the Moon without an atmosphere.

I'm not particularly thrilled by this episode either. I mean... it's being possible to put together a bunch of statements about traveling to the moon that make sense doesn't value create. I mean, some of us are greedy enough to keep the rest of humanity eating itself into extinction. They'll make sure that those finite earthly resources go to that end rather than.... mooning the world.

Eliminate Support First, only then can Objects Above ever Fall, if Gravity is Not a Force as Einstein proved. Brian Greene tells Alan Alda there is no gravity in free fall. NIST WTC FAQ 31 "the upper section came down essentially in free fall." NIST Shyam Sunder John Gross "gravity is a downward driving force." Screenshot (2259).png Weight is a Force, weightlessness is not a Force. F = ma Weight = Mass x Gravity or W = mg...In free fall weight = weightless = zero weight...So that means in free fall it's either mass or it's gravity that must = zero. But mass cannot = zero so it must be gravity that = zero in free fall. How can NIST WTC FAQ 31 say the upper section came down essentially in free fall, and that the weight from gravity was the driving force when gravity & weight = zero in free fall? Gravity is a phenomenon. According to Newton's law of Universal Gravitation, gravity is a force. However, according to general relativity, gravity is only a pseudo force. This equivalence between floating weightless and free falling is what Einstein used to develop his theory. In general relativity, gravity is not a force. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WWXnacqtB4ndU kzbin.info/www/bejne/joPVYp6XjbB1qbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6moaYFrfqZ5jck kzbin.info/www/bejne/faavfZKrpapnsM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXjNepqAhdNnbac

Recent discoveries of how certain bacteria can generate electrical current by using only hydrogen as input (unlike burning it or fuel cells, which need oxygen as well), makes water on the moon even more potentially beneficial. Meaning that if we could devise a way to use the same process at scale - Then we could split water. Get electricity and also oxygen to breath. Oxygen which doesn't have to be reserved to be recombined with hydrogen to get electricity again.

On the contrary, there were nine manned missions to the moon and six landings. It would have been at least ten had it not been for the near catastrophe and aborted landing of Apollo 13 and the premature cancellation of the programme and with it, Apollo 18, 19 and 20. Hope this helps.

They've never been to the moon, it's a science fiction movie! I am now that they have made the entire sequel after the launch of the saturn rocket on a film set, they also supposedly had soil samples with them then why was there no indication of water there. Operating and changing the film rolls in the Hasselblad camera with these bulky gloves is the most unlikely! I vaguely remember that very small black and white TV that had the same size screen as my current laptop with a very poor picture quality. If the wind didn't affect the antenna, you could barely recognize an astronaut. Now with all the modern technology, they can barely launch a rocket that safely leaves Earth.
