lol this is woke gatekeeping

This is hilarious.

Within the last decade, Space X finally has built rockets that can land on their thrusters. This is an incredible technical feat of engineering.

Here's a sampling of what we supposed to accept:

  • NASA expects the public to believe that an astronaut could manually land on a rocket engine on the moon 6 times in 3 years?
  • All occurring during Nixon's presidency?
  • And later claim that they lost the technology?
  • And that they accidentally erased the recordings of the lunar landings?

Hilarious.

They also lost the flight plan and trajectory. Did they or did they not go through the Van Allen Belt? It's a mystery.

Since it's been almost 50 years, do you think they'll make the billion$ in the accounting transparent to show where the money flowed? Doubtful.

They came in peace for all mankind... to Vietnam.

Well, we will find out someday when they go to the moon and the artifacts left by the US either are there or aren't there

We know today. Hoax. Impossible in an era of black and white tv.

  • 100% analogue electronics.
  • No laser range finding for the surface.
  • Vacuum tubes, and huge transistors.
  • The astronauts would have landed through the rocket exhaust, so they couldn't see.
  • Radiation sheilding technology that they inexplicably cannot reproduce, because they claim to have lost it.

Nope. Not happening.

Any one detail details the hoax, because 100% of each piece of equipment had to function properly. If any of it it's impossible, then it couldn't have happened. Everything they claim has to be at a minimum 'possible'. Most of it isn't.

Plus fake moon rocks, that are infact petrified wood. Trees. Trees on the moon. :-/

Ehh I don't think it's impossible, it's not that different from putting rovers on the moon.

One of the big ones for me is the film in their shielded cameras. I'm no radiation expert but space is supposed to be very hostile. But let's just say it wasn't that day (those days). A cool light radiation breeze swept across the surface of the moon, not wrecking any film, just minding it's own business.

I forget who/where/etc pointed out that all the film was numbered. Every photographer knows you need to take 10 pictures before you get 1 good one and you need 10 good ones before you get 1 great one. Well, every single shot those astronauts took is A++ keeper. No photos of thumbs or shoes, or lens flares or whatever.

Further the speculars reflecting of some objects clearly indicate other sources of light, and I'm not talking about the light from bouncing off the surface of the moon.

Also, the background dunes and rock formations are identical for different missions.

That's why I'm certain the images and video were staged. For a while I thought the mission might have been real with the staged imagery for backup. But then (read my other comment "In 2015...").

Years ago I heard they got good photos of the moon. I don't know if they have a Google Moon as good as Google Earth, but I'd be interested to know whether/how/if they faked the images too.

I just looked it up but I guess the resolution is not good enough yet to show gear or tracks.

There is a laser range-finder that is on the moon that you can bounce a laser off of of, which clearly exists. But that just proves it's possible to put satellites on the moon, not humans. I'm not sure telescopes exist that are powerful enough to see the lunar landing launch module or the flag that was planted, from the Earth.

The idea that an astronaut could land a lunar rocket with 60's technology rocket thrusters is beyond absurd. Inverted pendulum rocket control technology has only recently been achieved. Balance a broom upside down on a rocket and land on the thruster?! It's impossible to have landed 6/6 times in 3 years.
There's a reason we never went back. We couldn't do it even once in the 60's.

You might be right, I'm on the fence about it.

Have you watched American Moon film by chance?

https://www.amazon.com/American-Moon-Massimo-Mazzucco/dp/B07HB4XC1S

It is made by the same director who created September 11th New Pearl Harbor, in my opinion the most thorough of all 9/11 documentaries.

Thanks. I'll watch it now.
