What is your theory on why the USA has not been to the moon in the past 40 years?

What resources are there on the moon that makes it worth the cost? That's why. We spend a million dollars to get there, and get nothing back.

 

Is knowledge a 'resource'?

 

Doesn't it make you wonder how these conspiracists survive in a world where everything exists to conspire against them, where nothing is ever what it seems, and someone is controlling them and watching their every movement?
In this case the word 'lunacy' is most apt as applied to these poor, obsessed souls; 'moon madness' indeed.

 

That's rhetorical, naturally. I also believe you can't apply cost/benefit thinking to the acquisition of knowledge.

 

Well the major driver of the Moon shots was political, for both sides. Although it was not grasped at the time, this was the true direction exploratory space operations needed to go

I would imagine it is quite a burden for crazed conspiracy kooks, like anti-semites, who see jewish conspiracy behind every corner, get through the day.

 

You people are basing your discussion on a false assumption. You're all assuming they went to the moon. The proof that they didn't go is crushing.

Nothing further to add, since this inernet serial spammer has failed to respond to 99% of it.

 

It's a waste of both money and useful scientific talent. It is Trekkie escapism for people who never grew up. It's mind candy for fatheads.

 

Only knowledge of our natural resources. We've barely scratched the surface of the Earth and we're going off it to Fantasyland. It's like flying to Tokyo to buy a hotdog.

 

There are some anomalies that are simply too clear to obfuscate such as the flag anomaly.

All of you pro-Apollo posters destroyed your credibility by agreeing with NASA's position that the Chinese spacewalk was real.

You destroyed your credibility a second time by agreeing with Jay Windley's* lame analysis of the dust-free sand issue.

You're obviously not here to seek the truth, but to obfuscate it.

The proof that the Apollo moon missions were faked in a studio is simply too clear to obfuscate.

The only way you pro-Apollo posters can sway people's thinking is to talk to each other to an audience that hasn't seen the proof. This is really a war in which the Apollo truthers are posting the proof and the Pro-Apollo posters are trying to bury it. If my posts don't get deleted, I'm going to post the proof on every page of this thread and your success rate is going to be close to zero.

Your simplistic worldview means nothing. What may be "too clear to obfuscate" to a spamming fruitcake conspiracy theorist is anything but, to somebody applying a modicum of intelligent thought.

Circular reasoning of the worst kind. You attempt to prop up one untenable idiotic conspiracy claim with an even worse idiotic untenable one!

My credibility is just fine. I choose to agree with an expert in engineering, on a point related to aggregate transportation as opposed to cherry picked quotes from geologists who think your claims are moronic.

I'm here to reply to your drivel and spam. The term "truth seeker" is usually bandied about by those who would not recognise truth if it fell on them.

Spam!

What is your group's position on whether we should have gone to the Moon? You are a useless distraction if you don't address this colossal waste.

 

All conspiracy theories are plants by the ruling class. NASA made up this one, because the strongest reaction against it would be by those space cowboys who really want us to waste even more money on this silly and childish circus. If we never went there, there's no way we'd be able to create the technology to fulfill their degenerate Hollywood fantasies. I bet the conspiracy mercenaries refuse to answer whether they think going to the Moon was a good idea anyway. They're not paid to do that.

 

You do realize Trekkies did not exist when the Apollo program was announced

 

So we can't do both?....And since when is learning 'fantasyland'?

 

Too good to be true.

In those years, in Germany, one was able to hear the Russian communications to their manned spaceships. One of them was from an astronaut getting LOST in space... a failure.

The landing on the Moon and returning without complications was that good that can't be programed better... I don't believe it.

What I believe is that -like the Russians did- Nasa has sent spaceships with robots to the Moon in order to install the mirrors...

 

If the Surveyor program was real, they had that technology.

Reflectors on the moon are not proof that there were people on the moon.

Yes,they are.

 

Actually it was heard in Italy,in an old German bunker

'without complications'?....the space program had a bloody history of accidents,and no sane person cares what you 'think'

And what 'Russians' believed this?...They were working on their own moon program.

 

Please go into some detail.

I'd better repost this so that it doesn't get buried.

The answer to the thread title is simple... "Been there done that." Why waste our taxes going to the moon.

 

<shrugs> when the europeans first came to the new world,they didn't say 'been there,now lets go home and never come back'

 

But the Europeans had a bigger purpose-to settle. The Moon landings were little more than a PR stunt; an awesome achievement, granted, but beyond the scientific discoveries already made, I'm not sure I'd see the purpose in returning. Maybe as a base for manned Mars exploration, but that's a long, long way off.
