If they think the moon landing was fake, they would think the picture was fake too. Easy rebuttal.

i could care less if we ever went to the moon, but honestly, any picture can be a fake. photoshop is a powerful tool that any decent artist can make something like that look real

I know the moon landing was real. I stowed away on the space ship and went with them (yes, I know, it was two years before I was born - I used a time machine). The weather there is only marginally worse than Nova Scotia's. And astronaut farts stink.

I await to hear what the conspiracy theorists rebuttal will be...

Remember a few years ago Pepsi was going to use a laser to put their logo on the Moon? Well, the Defense Dept stopped them because they used that same laser to etch the tracks (in that photo) into the Moon surface.

a good example of this would be my thread in the lounge about a little red light flashing on a module under my driver seat. No one believed me, then i posted a pic of the module. Prior to the photo, i was smoking crack, needed to check my meds, aliens were gonna come get me and the like. Suddenly after a couple clear photos, it was nothing but crickets.

Not really a good example. You mentioned it. No one knew what it was and just made a couple jokes. Don't remember any comments about crack or meds. TChicken even guessed it w/o a pic. Then you posted pics, people still didn't know what it was and still made jokes and scratched their heads. In the end, TChicken was right about what it was, at least as far as we know as no confirmation was ever made.

I believe we went, and went more than once. It was more of an exercise to prove we could, but in the end, the moon holds no real value, at least as a jump-off point as even with current rocket propulsion technology, it's still not efficient to launch from a body with gravity as it is from space. Too much fuel is wasted, and fuel takes up a lot of space.

Anyway, the technology just isn't there to go much further with manned flights. Until we can either speed up the trip, or find some way to put crews in suspended animation, it's just not feasible. Going back to the moon, just to go back to the moon is a waste.

The Space X company is very interesting to me as well.

You know what they will say that was all faked in a lot on some Hollywood set just like the original moon landing. A good question to ask those quacks is how , If we never landed on the moon or entered into outer space we now have satellites.

(sighs) im not getting into this retarded debate so i will respectfully bow out of this one. Believe what you want.

:rollin:a bit late for that isn't it?

Notice the jist of the article?

The distance with the current speed of space travel and the limitations of the current technology severely limit our reach into the cosmos with manned flights.

my thoughts,,,,,,,,

once upon a time not too long ago we were able to zoom into the earth from a secret airplane built for recon. Images so sharp and so clear that the date on a dime could be seen from this plane buzzing the edge of outter space.

A lighter weight unit was installed on the tomcat and boasted about during OIF I (operation iraqi freedom 1) in 90-91.

one would think better technology would be standard issue on more modern equipment.

I’m assuming that the “secret airplane” you are talking about is the SR 71.
The service ceiling for the SR-71 was about 16 miles and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is taking these images at an orbit of about 31 miles. At that height the resolution of the camera on the LRO is expected to be no more than 1 Meter.

as for the filming getting erased on the first landing,, dont worry, Hollywood will step in to repair and digitally remaster them.

This is stupid.

I disagree. If the technology exists to do so, I don’t think there is anything wrong with letting the film restoring experts clean up the images to be clearer than what they were before. Especially if the actual original images aren’t available to be preserved anyway.

An for the record, I do believe that all of the Apollo missions were real.

your quoting me on the second one out of context but i could have done a better job no confussing you i guess.

'this is stupid" means , the debate about landing on the moon.

I'm not debating any of it, just pointing out we have the tools to have cleared this up long ago. Its a matter of choice for a small group of people not to do so and one would only over time start to wonder why.

no im not talking about the sr71.

I saw one of the last SR-71's fly out of England on it's final flight back to the States before it was retires.AWESOME !!!! When they hit the afterburners,it was an incredible sight.

We didn't land on the moon. But I think there is a 100mpg carburetor!

Yep,I was there.I got tossed out by a BIG bouncer,and I didn't even drink alcohol.10 minutes after we landed (I was a crew chief on the KC-135R),it was so foggy you couldn't see 10 feet in front of you.Nice place though.
