Does anybody else find this web page very interesting???

They just retired the space shuttle discovery today...

I believe the lunar landers are definately feasable for "interplanetarty travel".

I was talking about "speed". Even with our leap in technology from the 60's until now we still can't travel any faster in space. And the speed we can currently achieve is not feasible for interstellar travel. And it's also not feasible for interplanetary travel because the length of time it would take to reach other planets (and everything that could go wrong in that time during flight).

I was talking about "speed". Even with our leap in technology from the 60's until now we haven't figured out how to travel any faster in space. And that speed is not feasible for interstellar travel. And it's also not feasible for interplanetary travel because the length of time it would take to reach other planets (and everything that could go wrong in that time during flight).

Interstallar, definately not, interplatetary, not really, but possible.

I was just saying "interplanetary" meaning the moon in particular. I agree right now, Mars or something would be a real challenge.

But Food and Oxygen for 3 people for 8 days, sounds farily easy enough, oxygen maybe tricky, but recycling systems help cut down on space for large tanks. Smartest Nasa pencil pushers and best pilots in the world, so math and course is a check. Fuel, you just need a push in the right direction once your up there, gravity does the rest and you keep moving that way until you fire again to stop yourself.

Now the lunar lander, easily the hardest part again, but you don't have to deal with entry into an atmosphere, and low gravity makes taking off easy.

So for me, the moon is definately doable. Albeit pointless in the long run.

You're preaching to the choir.

I said on page 1 I believe we've had manned missions to the Moon.

Well yea thats all I've been saying all along is the moon ladning and space flight is no myth.

I don't think we could get any further without the help of LSD and Pink Floyd.

Twelve people have walked on the Moon. All human landings took place between July 1969 and December 1972, as part of the Apollo program.

Name Born Died Age at
first step Mission Lunar EVA dates Employer
1. Neil Armstrong August 5, 1930 38y 11m 15d Apollo 11 July 21, 1969[3] NASA[4]
2. Buzz Aldrin January 20, 1930 39y 6m 0d Air Force
3. Pete Conrad June 2, 1930 July 8, 1999 39y 5m 17d Apollo 12 November 19–20, 1969 Navy
4. Alan Bean March 15, 1932 37y 8m 4d Navy
5. Alan Shepard November 18, 1923 July 21, 1998 47y 2m 18d Apollo 14 February 5–6, 1971 Navy
6. Edgar Mitchell September 17, 1930 40y 4m 19d Navy
7. David Scott June 6, 1932 39y 1m 25d Apollo 15 July 31 – August 2, 1971 Air Force
8. James Irwin March 17, 1930 August 8, 1991 41y 4m 14d Air Force
9. John W. Young September 24, 1930 41y 6m 28d Apollo 16 April 21–23, 1972 Navy
10. Charles Duke October 3, 1935 36y 6m 18d Air Force
11. Eugene Cernan March 14, 1934 38y 9m 7d Apollo 17 December 11–14, 1972 Navy
12. Harrison Schmitt July 3, 1935 37y 5m 8d NASA

Regarding "the last man to walk on the moon", Schmitt is the last person to arrive (as Cernan got out of the Apollo Lunar Module first), but Cernan is the last person to leave (after final EVA, Schmitt went inside the module first). Duke was the youngest, at age 36 (+6mo); Shepard was the oldest, at age 47 (+2mo).

James A. Lovell, John W. Young and Eugene Cernan are the only three astronauts to fly more than one lunar mission (two each). Of these three, only Lovell did not walk on the lunar surface. Lovell and Fred Haise were prevented from walking on the Moon by the malfunction on Apollo 13 that resulted in the mission being aborted. Haise was scheduled to walk on the Moon as commander of Apollo 19 prior to that mission’s cancellation on September 2, 1970.

12 men have stepped foot on the moon. 9 are still alive.

Allegedly.

 

[King Darkness]

I'm in the camp that says they did. If this county can believe in a invisble man living in the sky then we can for sure believe we landed on da moon.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

It would not surprise me one bit if we didn't step foot on the moon

 

[devilof76]

Post WWII America was a much different place than it has been in the last few decades. As much as I dislike JFK, I don't think he was that much of a lying cur.

 

[King Darkness]

Maybe JFK was lied to too

 

[EXOTICLEX]

We all know Nixon was a liar.

All Presidents lie. It's part of their job.

Agree with the first part, not so much with the second part...

I find this interesting....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5enu1j8GwY

lol ha hah ha

I thought we got all our cheese from the moon. If we didn't go to the moon, where do we get cheese from?

 

[Devil_666]

It's a fact. US Presidents are privy to information that 9/10 is not released to the public. And if they're asked about it, they have to deny it. As part of their job.

But according to WikiLeaks, everyone should be privvy to everything!
