2 questions I need answered.

1. Technology in that day was pretty damn poor, OK, Concord was born and was a marvel, but flew with no computer tech whatsoever, compared to today's flying machines that is, I cannot believe that one could go further without further technology in that day.

2. Why has there been no 'return'? Even just to prove the sceptics wrong? We have much more tech than we had in the 60/70's era, shuttle missions constantly running and costing millions of dollars etc. I find it very suspicious that it's practically a 'thing' that happened in the 'past' and nothing following. Now, images were pretty poor then also, but we now now have digital camcorders and cameras, that is surely worth a 'return' in its own right?

It's a strange one is the moon landings.

Amen

we wnt back quite a few times
it just cost so much, for so little (a bunch of guys walking around up there, when a robot can bring stuff back. though again, we didnt have the robot tech like we do today
. hey, simple nav computer, line of sight, and a ton of propellant will get you there. have you seen the actual landing sequence? they were running low on fuel, and they had to put it down. ended bending up part of the landing gear, and when they hit, they were out of gas on the landing stage. not very slick, but it worked

Including CGI which hadn't even been invented yet. Better yet, how can we know that Earth is round? I mean, you do know that Heliocentrism is "just a theory," right? No? You think Earth orbits the Sun? On what basis? LMFAO, everybody knows that the Sun and every planet revolves around the Earth.....

Um, wait....you don't? Or you do? B...b...b...b...but you haven't actually seen it happen....

You do know that a 500 Sterling Telescope would let you see the flag with your own eyes, yes?

Ah, metaphysics as a retort to science. Classic strawman. Poorly played my friend. lol No wonder I don't see you in our chessroom. You'd be eaten alive.

"Check."

I seen that film mo, it was called 'Armageddon' as in 'fiction', kinda like today with these supposed moon landings?.......lol?

nah, rough footage and the worried voices of armstrong and aldrin trying to make sure they didn't screw the pooch. telemetry was all over the place (ie, if you had a big dish, you could get it), so it wasn't like a private party. wasnt as gracefull as they wanted, but he had his hand on the abort to lose the landing stage and go back up right until the leg probs sunk in the dirt.

[m.oreilly]

the russians had great big dishes and techs. they knew what was going on. was the moon stuff science? kinda...was it a big hurray for the usa industrial dynasty? sure. men landed on the moon, not just usa...men. some ladies would be nice too

[eniparadoxgma]

So people landing on the moon is too "wacky" to believe, but a conspiracy on an all out global scale in which such an event was staged and every astronomer and scientist in the world (including all of those with an anti-American bias that would be chomping at the bit to be able to discredit the U.S. in this way) are either keeping this hush-hush or have had the wool pulled over their eyes...isn't?

moon program was going way before vietnam. i had seen mockups of the apollo service module in '63

P.S. If anyone states the Holocaust was a hoax I won't be returning to this thread.

Carry on.
