Thanks for clearing it up! If you can't be bothered to explore the laws of physics on your own, I'm certainly not going to waste my time forcing them down your throat. Gravity, escape velocity, and acceleration are all good starting points. Enjoy. |

Actually - on 21st July 1969 - While Neil and Buzz were actually ON the Moon, the Russians put a probe (Luna 15) on the Moon. OK, so it crashed (it was intended as a sample return) - but that's where the human element came into it's own. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11786170 Netherlands 08/26/2012 01:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was only the 3 astronauts, right? No rocket scientists. No reconstructed apparatus. And what about the operations of firing a rocket WITH 3 MEN AND FUEL, CAMERA'S etc FROM THE MOON? How the hell could any scientist speculate that 3 astronauts would be able to take off by themseves? From point zero, the amount of fuel needed? What about the times; we needed to send disinfo to the Soviet Union... 1+1 = 2. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6231580 It was fake. Recondition your mind: Aint NO ONE been on the moon. it took the Saturn 5 rocket to escape Earth's gravity. the Moon is 20% of Earth's gravity. so, it would take 20% of a Saturn 5 to escape Moon's gravity! yer right: it's all a FAKE! The moon does not have an atmosphere. Aerodynamic pressure and drag require a lot of fuel. Its not only gravity that has to be overcome. |

It isn't the size of your processor, it's how you use it. two great American technological fiascos: 1. the bozos that ground the mirror for the Hubble Space Telescope ground it to the wrong specs and didn't bother to test it, and the mirror was no good when they launched it. (any highschool physics kid knows how to grind a telescope mirror) 2. the great "Patriot anti-missile defense system" that we gave to Israel in 1990 couldn't shoot down any of Sadam's Scud missiles because the bozos who made the internal clock for the computer system screwed it up and the clock was off by 1 microsecond (which was equivalent to an 800 meter inaccuracy at target). |

That link and the fact that we're still developing the technology to return is my proof of this. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1466619 Czechia 08/26/2012 02:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now, that's interesting. Joining up with an orbiting body (what was orbiting velocity and trajectory?), with no navigational equipment worth mentioning? That's quite a feat on this side of possible, but deep within the zone of improbable. Those "lunar modules" were, more or less, just sealed cans of packed human meat, far from interplanetary spaceships that people usually imagine them to be. How about this conspiracy theory then? They did go to the Moon, but they never landed there. It was all a show for the Soviets. |
