July 20, 1969 moon landing hmmm ?
so if he did land on the moon in 69 how come man has never gone back with all the new
technology we have today ? or was it all one big conspiracy with the space race in 60s.


tinfoil hat time.

[Hooch]

For what purpose? And what is the cost to benefit ratio?

[pants]

if we go back to the moon we can bring back some of the cheese

[DarkCrystalMethod]

Nobody has gone back because of the environmentalist hippies.

flat-earthers say "NO moon for you"!!!

with all the starlight,s in space and rubbish flying about must be hard to fly past it all to get to the moon ?

Not quite what you think.
I heard all the space-age insulation, fuel, glue, etc was all systematically declared illegal to manufacture anymore so now we use less efficient stuff that costs so much we just can't use it.

[Kargor]

Well, the Silence helped, but they are probably dead by now.

The development of the space shuttle orbiter and collaboration between countries to develop the International Space Station are as historic as the moon landings.

lack of money, lack of interest

soviet gave up, usa not see interest and was busy with vietnam war, china were too poor and europe it just they suck and india is india

so in theory 2020 is the decade for second moon race, because china dont care who go first, they will go to moon before or after usa is not matter for them and usa just want to prove they are still reliable in space

but unfortunally we lost soviet, india is not ready yet and europe suck more than in 60s and 70s

Apollo 12 through 17 happened after that. The last two of which were in 1972. Several people who took part in those missions are still alive. We have LRO photography of landing sites. https://www.lroc.asu.edu/images/1198 We have verified laser ranging on retroreflectors left on the surface during missions. We have physical samples returned from the moon, the composition and isotropic ratios of which confirm their origin. Geochemical and isotropic analysis has been independently confirmed by various studies.

Cause we been there done that got the t-shirt. No reason to go back.

The first flag on the moon was a Swiss flag. (Not the actual Swiss flag, but a flag manufactured in Switzerland.) They convinced NASA to deploy it before they deploy the actual American flag - which probably wouldn´t have happened if the flag would actually look like the Swiss flag.

Also a couple of European companies contributed to Apollo 11. Like the lenses of the cameras were European, without which there would be no footage of the whole thing.

[jimbalayajones]

Well, the way NASA is acting now, it really does make me wonder if we actually went to the moon...

Because America paid an incompetent company 3 billion in tax dollars to do it by 2024. Yes, you heard me, 3 billion to do the job by 2024, being allowed access nasa's technology that already got their once too. And that company so far has done 3% of the job. Space X everyone.

You might be thinking Space X at least earned that contract fair and square. And by sheer coincidence, the government employee who was directly in charge of deciding which company would get the contract. They decided to give it to SpaceX solely off their own recommendation. That one employee decided the whole thing. And that one employee working for the government shortly after making that decision, they quit their government job, joined SpaceX, and received a massive compensation from the company for giving them the 3 billion dollar contract.

So the simple answer is corruption and incompetence in the industry. Massive corruption, with a hint of mild incompetence. Cuz delivering 3% means they aren't completely incompetent in my books, just mildly so.

At that time the US and Russia wanted to one up the other so they wasted enormous amounts of money and resources to prove to each other who is better.

The Russians went to Venus and were able to take photographic images of its surface long before the US did anything like that. If the moon landing was true then I just pity what humanity could have achieved back then had everyone pulled together to reach the stars. Humans could have been a lot farther in the solar system today if they worked together instead of against each other. If Russians landed on Venus and US moon, imagine if they worked together? We would have had colonized many other moons and planets by now. Instead that money and resources are used to wage war against each other creating WMDs to kill eachother thereby dooming themselves to die on this planet before humanity could ever reach the stars.

Maybe in an alternate parallel universe humanity did become a spacefaring species but in this universe maybe our fate is to kill eachother by using WMDs? Thus halting progress towards the stars.

Just my 2 cents.
