I call Bullshit, Right when I'm trying very hard to learn a little humility, something like this comes along. I didn't bother to click the links because I have seen all that psuedo-scientific BULLSHIT before, and rather than waste my time in a futile attempt at providing refuting arguments to moronic theories, I will let someone else, who is much better qualified than myself anyway, refute the BULLSHIT. The Bad Astronomer aka Phil Plait does a very good job
HERESometimes I think the Buzz Aldrin approach might achieve better results.
They don't. They decommissioned the Saturn 5 Rocket and the plans to build it were destroyed in a routine housecleaning of NASA documents. They don't know how anymore.
Bullshit, where in the hell do you come up with this ... nevermind I already know.
If you can't deny a theory, how do you know your theory is true?
Theories are not denied, they are an accumulation of scientific evidence That support the postulates. When new evidence comes along, they are modified accordingly.
So the conclusion is that one of them contains one or more flaws, and I doubt you'll find too many flaws in the laws of physics.
Exactly, the Physics behind a moon landing are simple and hundreds of years old.
Question to those who believe we landed on the moon: Have you studied the details involved in a mission like this? Have you compared them to prior tests and capabilities of technology?
Or do you simply believe it 'because it was on tv?"
As a matter of fact, I have. Take any entry level Physics or Calculus class at your favorite University and some of the first problems you will encounter are orbital mechanics and trajectory motion.
The thing I find weird about landing on the moon is: Its so risky.
It's taken man much time and effort to launch from Earth and into space (with many failed attempts).
But to then contemplate landing on the moon, and then taking off again, almost seems suicidal.
(assuming the landing was for real) what if the luna module was damage while landing. The astronauts would have been stuffed.
It is a hell of a lot easier to land on the Moon than to re-enter Earths atmosphere ... Just curious, do you deny re-entry of the Shuttle ... or perhaps it's take-off?
With todays technology, why don't they land on the moon more often. It would be interesing to see footage shot today, and compare it to that shot back in 1969.
It is a boondoggle, Why waste the money on
ANY MANNED FLIGHT. The science that could be achieved would/is a thousand or more times greater for the buck. This whole going back to the Moon, and Putting men on Mars is a tremendous waste of resourses. It will take away from REAL science missions that have the possibility of making REAL discoveries.
Someone(Dim?) said somewhere that you don't want politicians deciding strategy for combat operations ... or something like that. It is true, and the same applies to space missions.
