...
are you saying that it's a conspiracy against the conspiracy, or what?
i'm getting confused, now...
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22633247 I am saying that the real conspiracy is not that Neil Armstrong never went to the Moon. He did go there, or near there as it were, but he never LANDED on it. Think of it like this: a) Joining up with an orbiting body - a big no-no for ANY technological power at that time, including the U.S. b) Joining up with a body in STATIONARY orbit - possible, but what makes it very improbable in this case is that command module would've had to DECELERATE while approaching the Moon, drop off the lunar module, and than ACCELERATE again after joining up the module coming off the Moon. BOTH operations would've required ENORMOUS amounts of fuel. c) All Moon missions of that time had to have been simple SLINGSHOT MANEUVERS around the Moon. There was no technology available at that time to land there AND get back. One could've landed on the Moon, of course, but they would've NEVER been able to return. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Whether it's possible to land on the Moon AND come back today, is something I would not speculate on. I have my suspicions. this is the jist of this thread. It was clearly a fantasy story because the USSR was kicking our ass and we needed an immediate response... its all a soviet union psy op to make them think we were farther along than they were. I think the proof is that we haven't gone back, and all the shuttle missions since then have been orbiting operations, not landing ops.... the moon is a tactical resource... of COURSE we would go back, if for no other reason than an observatory. So man on moon = bullshit. The USSR was only ahead (and then only barely) until the start of the Gemini program. During that they fell far behind. But let's think about the illogical statement you made. The USSR were ahead but then we fooled them? If they were so far ahead, then how could they have been fooled? In actuality they tracked the Apollo missions from start to finish. I'm just saying there was a need for counter propagandism, ahead or not, the fact is for a hypothesis (statement that the man on the moon theory is TRUE), to be true it must be repeatable.... there has been no repeat.
