Why is it NASA won't let people see the old Apollo modules? National Security? NO. It's because people would laugh at them. I don't buy any of the rover nonsense because we don't have sufficient braking devices to land gently on another planet. We can't dissipate that much energy.

Don't you think we would put parachutes in satellites if it was possible? To avoid space junk and possible death from falling debris? To examine the units at their end of life and learn things from them?

The programs are used for revenue and mass psychology, to make the population feel good about something as they slave away in jobs they mostly hate, if they have one at all. Bread & Circus for the unclean masses, keeping their heads up as they drown.
