[/quote] Yeah apparently we need some more of that space age late 60's technology! What happened to us - did we just forget how to do stuff [/quote] No. congress decided they didn't want to pay for it. [quote:Anonymous Coward 2836766:MV8yMTU0NzQ4XzM2NDE3NjI2XzFFMkVDNkQ2] - I mean it's obvious that the computers we have now are shit compared to late 60's tech what with how they were able to program, pilot, land, blast off, re-couple and return to earth using total computing power of less than that of the average smartphone.[/quote] So? How many megabytes does it take to get to orbit? All the calculations were done in mainframes on Earth. The computers on the spacecraft did not have to co any calculations of their own. [quote:Anonymous Coward 2836766:MV8yMTU0NzQ4XzM2NDE3NjI2XzFFMkVDNkQ2] Hell, they even beamed back live coverage of the landing and take-off from the surface of the moon (I kinda feel sorry for the camera man who was left behind and is unknown and unsung in the history of our illustrious space program)[/quote] They used the same remotely controlled camera on the rover that they filmed the EVAs with. [quote:Anonymous Coward 2836766:MV8yMTU0NzQ4XzM2NDE3NjI2XzFFMkVDNkQ2] while today we STILL get dropped cellphone calls and there is a patchwork of no cell coverage areas across the U.S. [/quote] which has NOTHING to do with beaming a low bandwidth signal from the Moon and picking it up with giant receiving dishes. [quote:Anonymous Coward 2836766:MV8yMTU0NzQ4XzM2NDE3NjI2XzFFMkVDNkQ2] Ditto with the micro meteorite defying anti radiation playtex space suits that could go from 253 F (123 C) in full sunlight to -243 F (153 C) in the shade without so much as any loss of surface plaibility or suit integrity let alone any noticeable discomfort to person wearing the suit.[/quote] The exact SAME environment as in orbit. Gee, good thing that the universe follows the laws of thermodynamics that you apparently don't understand and things don't heat up immediately but rather take TIME to do so. [quote:Anonymous Coward 2836766:MV8yMTU0NzQ4XzM2NDE3NjI2XzFFMkVDNkQ2] (My thanks to Dave McGowan for his Wag the Moon Doggie Series! Look it up if you haven;t read it!!) [/quote] Yeah his stuff is hilarious! Always good for a laugh when you realize he knows NOTHING about physics, orbital mechanics, space travel, radiation, thermodynamics, etc. He flaunts his ignorance with every word he posts.

NASA discovers NEW Van Allen Belt!
So, if we didn't know about this, what else don't we know about?
