OT: Moon Landing

[Cursitor Doom]

Gentlemen,

As we approach the 50th anniversary of the 'first manned moon landing' as
it were, I'm just wondering what proportion of the group believe the
whole thing was just an elaborate hoax for whatever reason?

In those days I was running the head control room in the TV station,
we did that in shifts.
We had to relay the picture from the satellite link to the viewers in my country.
All went well until in one of those moon landings the astronut pointed the camera at the sun and no more picture.
Good reaction test to fault find where it went wrong, was not my shift, was watching at home.
All fake of course ;-)

It was a fun time, I told my boss call me anytime day and night.
Those moon landings united a lot of people and people got a lot of respect for US technology.

Things have changed.
I an waiting for Chinese restaurants on mars, they have good food...
Any 'merrycan landing there will likely have to pay landing rights and bring some renminbi.

Russia just launched a new Xray telescope. project together with Germany I think.

US cannot even do a manned return trip to the ISS.

The question is just to stupid to entertain.
But I have to ad, this morning I saw the seamstresses from Platex even
got in on the hoax of sewing moon suits together.
I was about 14 then and my mom let me stay up late to watch it.
I remember how crummy the video was.

An interesting argument I've seen against there being any kind of fakery
going on is that the video processing technology to take the video
footage of astronauts on some set somewhere jumping around, and
seamlessly process it to slow it down to make it look like they were in
a lower gravity environment, or process all that video to remove some
kind of harness they were using on the set, like they do with CGI
editing now in films, didn't exist in 1969.

and developing a supercomputer with mid 1960s technology that could do
that kind of seamless video DSP might have been possible, but the cost
and labor required would have approached the budget required for the
moon shot

My birthday is today.

I was 9 plus two days on the launch and 9 plus 7 days on the
landing.

My friend's birthday is the 21st.

I watched everything in real time. I had a G.I. Joe Gemini capsule
with the orange 45 rpm recording of John Glenn's mission and a
Testors' Saturn 5 and an LEM model.

I have seen command module at the Smithsonian along with a saturn 5
booster engine.

Of course we did it. We are the masters of controlling fire.

How else do you think we got all those great flat earth pictures?

It might as well have been. Either real or hoax, nothing came of it. Just more circus for the nitwits, and nerd welfare of course.

It has nothing to do with "cannot", you ignorant putz.

The US retired their reusable space shuttle.

You are a fucking retard when you spout some of the stupid shit you
spout.

You are old enough I don't have to worry though. Your stupid
opinions will die with you.

Many /educated/ Russians (cf uneducated Merkins) refuse to
believe the moon landings were real. But that's due to political
and face-saving reasons.

As for "nothing came of it", that's a perfect segway into
the "Life of Brian" skit about "what the Romans did for us".

If you don't like it, you can declare yourself to be one, and we can
find a nice big circus cannon to punt you back over with.

It was real enough, but expensive, dangerous, and useless. Like the
ISS.

"Exploring space" is an oxymoron.

You would not even have had this forum to state that stupid shit

Duh, obviously they couldn't do it with 60's technology. They did it with 3000's technology the time traveler brought.

Don't play dumb and ask me "what time traveler?"

A bunch of lies and self-serving propaganda. No credibility to any of those claims.

And it would be "General Yang" (And His Moon Rockers).

I'd rather it be owned by Michelle Yeoh though.

Manned spaceflight did not contribute to usenet. I can't think of
anything useful that manned spaceflight has provided us. It cost a
fortune and killed some good people. The moon rocks could have been
gathered by a robot, and weren't very interesting anyhow. A lot of
moon rocks have been lost.

We could have funded some serious science for the cost of each shuttle
flight.
