I think a world power will put a crews footprint on mars if only for bragging rights not a colony in the foreseeable future . I do agree with you we are not going to the stars until we solve the speed/power issues and the pain in the ass human cargo ...those problems may take centuries to overcome . We need LUDICRIOUS SPEED lol i mean that we have to go faster than light or its all moot because of the distances involved which are mind numbingNo one is going to mars.
We are not getting off this planet in a physical body.
We will never set foot on another planet.
The real universe is behind a curtain.
Scientists are quite certain there are at least 10 dimensions.
Watch the dust coming off the tires from this lunar craft. It drops back to "the moon" just like it does on earth, except there's no gravity. It's horseshit.
Sorry, I was typing fast, it's 1/6th what the earth's gravity is. Which would appear as almost nothing to someone who had spent their life on earth. Don't let that little detail be your sticking point
It would make a 200lb man feel like he weighed 33lbs. You could launch yourself 20' in the air with one leg.Sorry, I was typing fast, it's 1/6th what the earth's gravity is.

Watch the dust coming off the tires from this lunar craft. It drops back to "the moon" just like it does on earth, except there's no gravity. It's horseshit.
Please explain. It acts exactly like it would on earth. You expect that dust would gall at the same rate in 1/6th the gravity? Please tell me how that works.You know the best part of this lunacy? That footage is actually good evidence that it is in fact a rover kicking up dust on the moon: the dust trajectory is consistent with being ejected in a low gravity zero-drag vacuum environment. We also call this "The Moon."
Why is easy to answer. Control.If you are one of the imbeciles who think the lunar landings are fake. Please explain why we faked it six times?
You ever spend any time in the desert? There are flats full of fine sand called "moon dust" everywhere. That's exactly how it behaves, on earth.But it doesn't. There's no drag. It falls too slowly. It's lunar regolith, not powder.
This has been debunked over and over and over...
Ill give "them" the planes, the over run of the cabins, the two lonely pictures at the pentagon, the freefall collapse of the towers........but building 7.......NOPE, fuck you!Why is easy to answer. Control.
So, the world was watching when UA 175 flew into the south tower. And everyone saw a fireball shoot out of the building and imagined it must be the starboard engine.
Sure enough, on Griffin St., there was a disembodied jet engine that landed neatly on the sidewalk under some scaffolding. Nice and clear pictures, so clear that you could see the shape and style of the cooling vanes. And these cooling vanes showed it to be a GE jet motor.
Slight problemo. UA 175, like other 767s in the UA fleet used Pratt & Whitney engines, which have a different style of cooling vanes.
So, two choices. Either the plane that crashed into the south tower was NOT UA 175, or some Homer Simpson clones planted the wrong style of jet engine on the sidewalk "to be found." NTSB says UA 175 impacted the tower at 521 knots when its max velocity at sea level was 360 knots. At least, that is what I understood.
How people were doing things with the planes that could not be done by people who have flown that craft before.
AA 77 that hit the Pentagon took off from Dulles. The FDR showed that the cockpit door was closed. And then locked, as is proper, before push back from the gate. And it takes off.
At 18k feet, the pilot adjusted from local station pressure to 29.92, as required for flying as high as 30k. And gets up to the altitude and then somewhere over Kentucky turns around and heads back to DC. Nothing on the FDR about the door being unlocked or opened. So, the terrorists got in their and overpowered two ex-military pilots averaging about 6 feet tall and a buck 60 a piece. If they wanted to get Rumsfeld, they could have dove straight down and hit his office directly. Instead, going unchallenged into restricted airspace in a spiral dropping 8k feet in a few minutes hit the one part of the Pentagon that had just been "remodeled" to withstand an airliner impact. 152 ft wide wingspan and 45 foot tall tail all fit into a 16 foot by 19 foot hole.
Even mo' betterer, the descent on the FDR (the only one recovered and published) showed have shown a similar blip. When you are descending and you go below 18k, you need to adjust to the local barometric pressure of your destination. That was not done. So, technically, "at impact," the flight was about 150 feet off the ground. That's a problem because the Pentagon is about 80 feet tall.
On those planes, on either side of the console in the cockpit is a pad to enter transponder codes. And there was a universal code for hijack. 7500. Not one of 8 pilots did that. Not one.
So, dang it, I forgot the question ......
My 9th grade science teacher and the schools chemistry teacher, a Mr. Allen was related to the Allen of the Van Allen belt. Pretty interesting fellow. I remember the date/lecture where, he introduced us to Rachael Carson and the book “The Silent Spring”. An Extraordinarily radical book for the times (1963).And never again, since then. We "got rid of the technology."
The real problem is the radiation in the Van Allen Belt. This ionized layer actually protects us from a bunch of gamma rays, etcetera.
It is my theory that flight UA 93 that crashed near Indian Lake, Pa and not at Shanksville, was supposed to "hit" building 7. But an Air Force major following standard protocol was cleared hot and took the shot and made it and down goes the plane. So, this was supposed to happen way earlier and now, nearing 5:20 pm, what to do, what to do?Ill give "them" the planes, the over run of the cabins, the two lonely pictures at the pentagon, the freefall collapse of the towers........but building 7.......NOPE, fuck you!
Not even a wood house collapses like that in a fire!
When dedicated in 1969, the Harlan J. Smith Telescope was the third largest in the world. In addition to studying planets in our solar system, it was used by the Apollo Laser Ranging Experiment, which helped measure the distance to the Moon by reflecting lasers off mirrors left there by astronauts.
The timing of the laser round trip provided evidence supporting Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. That theory says, in part, that the speed of light in a vacuum is independent of any observer's motion. This experiment also showed that Isaac Newton's gravitational constant is extremely constant, changing by less than 1 part in 100 billion between 1969 and 2004, NASA stated.
There’s no air, so dust would fall throu 1/6th vacuum about as fast as 1G air.Sorry, I was typing fast, it's 1/6th what the earth's gravity is. Which would appear as almost nothing to someone who had spent their life on earth. Don't let that little detail be your sticking point
I think that happened like 100 years ago......Reynold's Wrap caused the shortage, not the critical thinkers!Well, this explains the national tinfoil shortage.
Sirhr
The US detonated 5 nukes in the van Allen belt. Let that sink in, that's how dumb we are. They did it, (at least their excuse was) to move it back so we could pass a craft through it, or something equally stupid. That radiation made that area exponentially more radioactive. It has lethal levels radiation. Maybe today we could build something that could survive in it. In the 60's? That thing they pretended to fly up there was an airstream trailer lined with Styrofoam. Get outta here with that BS.There’s no air, so dust would fall throu 1/6th vacuum about as fast as 1G air.
How do signals to all the probes we send go back and forth? All fake too? I don’t think you understand what the Van Allen belts are, and the idea they’re completely deadly is ridiculous. Unpredictable, yes, just like everything coming off the sun is unpredictable.
My mother, my aunt, and many other family members are in the fresh cut flower business. They have massive amounts of equipment, coolers, warehouses, employees, and they developed some of the techniques used in most fresh cut flower businesses today. I'm kinda like you when people start talking about fresh cut flowers and how to extend their life, how to store them, how to prep them, even how to cut them. I too have very strong opinions, but when it comes down to it, I really don't know shit.........mostly because THEY do them, not me!Several family members of mine worked everything from Gemini to the modern Orion capsule today. One worked everything from Gemini to the ISS and worked the life support systems after the Apollo 13 anomalies. He was one of the engineers who had to figure out how to filter their air. When I worked at the JSpOC, mid 2010s we were still tracking pieces of debris from that era and one piece of debris from Apollo that decayed into the atmosphere. It happened. We built the infrastructure and the tech for all of that back then and now we have lost it. Our tech is much better nowadays, but everything involved with human space flight is looked over with a much finer tooth comb that a satellite launch. We’re overall a lot more fragile than satellites. It takes a lot of development and testing to put humans in space and with all of that, a lot of money. We simply don’t put as much money into NASA now as we did then.
Tech/capabilities can easily be lost when focus shifts.
That test, one of those being Starfish prime, killed a lot of satellites by accident and took out Hawaii’s power grid.

I’ve had quite a bit of involvement with NASA in the earlier years of my career. Lol Mirrors dropped off by one of the Apollo missions is still used today for laser sensor calibrations. With a good enough telescope you can see the landing sights. Mental midgets bringing up Van Allen Radiation Belts and signals with zero actual knowledge on how those work.My mother, my aunt, and many other family members are in the fresh cut flower business.

Tech/capabilities/lessons learned/know how all get lost when not used. They’re are things today we cannot do militarily we could do slightly after the end of the Cold War since we were dropping bombs on mud huts. We can’t even build more F-22s because that tooling and much more was removed or repurposed for the F-35. If it’s not used, the know how gets lost.

Why Is the Apollo Reflector Experiment Still Operating, 50 Years Later?
An epic lunar laser experiment is still going strong, five decades after the Apollo astronauts set it up on the surface.www.space.com
Pretty persistent cover.
You’re not going to see that much detail with a terrestrial telescope, you can just see outlines with observatory telescopes. There photos from other countries such as India who photographed the sites with one of their missions to the moon in recent years and NASA’s LRO.Show me pictures of the landing sites taken from earth.

No silly, vacuum cleaners are all that works in a vacuum. It's in the name. Duh!You should read about the Argus rocket tests in the Atlantic. Those were early probes of the Earth’s geomagnetic composition.
Like the lunar dust fallacy, the Van Allen Belts being some kind of lethal wall preventing space flight is another argument that reveals a lack of understanding on the subject. Yes, they would be lethal if you humg around in that field of charged particles. So how do you solve this seemingly intractable problem?
You pass through them
This is so well understood that it’s a high school math problem.
What’s next on the list? Space suits wouldn’t work in a vacuum? Shouldn’t we be able to see physical evidence of the landings from lunar orbiters?
Finally, someone with some cred.You’re not going to see that much detail with a terrestrial telescope, you can just see outlines with observatory telescopes.

If anyone would want to disprove the US going to the moon with humans it would have been the Soviets. Funny how they didn’t refute it, probably because their were watching the signals come from the Apollo missions and track portions of it through its launch. Something critical that would help Soviet information ops if it were fake. But what do I know, I just work in the space career field.![]()
You have the same power of Google as I do for looking up NASA’s % of US budget for the build up of Apollo to todays budgets.Finally, someone with some cred.
So, why have we not gone back to the moon in over 50 years? How big a budget was the Apollo program compared to the Big Asian Vacation?
I was being trollish, sorry. In fact, I knew this thread would create some controversy. To be fair to myself, I could start an argument by stating that the sun looks yellow. Someone will come along and dispute that.You have the same power of Google as I do for for looking up NASA’s % of US budget for the build up of Apollo to todays budgets.
The whole goal of Apollo was to beat the Soviets there, that was the reason why its budget % was greater then. NASA also took a lot more risk during that program that it does today. The tech gain from the Apollo missions would trickle down to other projects, but after beating the Soviets there, was there any real reason to go back? Commercially it wasn’t viable. Honestly nothing in space other than comm sats was profitable until the last few decades and the last decade has had a huge increase in profitability. Newer proposed missions to the moon involve getting resources from it, a launch point for faster trips to mars with more payload, research and a few other things. A big portion of Chinas plan for the moon is getting Helium 3 for fusion reactors.
Ok guys, you want a level 5 tinfoil hat conspiracy?
We DID land on the moon and were asked not to return by what was found on the dark side.
The moon is definitely weird when all things considered.
If you have never watched a Why Files, they are very well made and he definitely approaches both sides and will call out a bs conspiracy when evidence supports it. But he will also touch on ideas that really make you think.
Pass through them? Interesting. Isn't it something like 86,000 miles at the most narrow point, which I believe is at the equator? Something crazy like that. And they did it in a craft that had a max speed of a couple hundred miles an hour and were up and down in a week and a half? My numbers could be way off, but when I looked into this year's ago, that was another set of data that made zero sense..You should read about the Argus rocket tests in the Atlantic.

The answer is that it's risky. Micro meteoroids are a constant threat, and there isn't a ton you can do about it. I would add that as our solar system ages there is less and less decaying orbit small debris as some of the larger meteoroids comets continue along their trajectories and eventually decay/impact. When the solar system was young there were orders of magnitude more. Today most of the dangerous space debris around the earth is man made.What about the lack of atmosphere on the moon? On Earth the atmosphere stops high velocity space debris from impacting us and our property. On the moon there is no such protection. There was an article out there stating the surface of the moon is constantly getting peppered by space junk, often flying at incredible speeds. How would an astronaut survive on the moon?
Incorrect. It's near zero over the poles where humans get a full dose of solar radiation unimpeded by the magnetic field of the earth. This isn't an issue because no one runs around the poles in a bathing suit, and the atmosphere and a parka is sufficient to protect you from full, unimpeded solar radiation.Pass through them? Interesting. Isn't it something like 86,000 miles at the most narrow point, which I believe is at the equator? Something crazy like that.

You can’t be serious about this. Tell me you know nothing about escape velocities without telling me you don’t.And they did it in a craft that had a max speed of a couple hundred miles an hour and were up and down in a week and a half?
have you tried reddit ?Holy Shit I thought ARFCOM had some nuts.
So, educate me. I don't pretend to know everything about any subject. You've made two posts since that one, and in both of them you've said "c'mon bro".You can’t be serious about this. Tell me you know nothing about escape velocities without telling me you don’t.
