How did they land on the moon if the moon orbits the earth?

doesn't really matter how because they never did

They checked the wind direction with the finger method

:STUPID-posts6:

Math.

how do they know what time high tide is in 10 years time?

A orbit takes about 28 days. What you are referring to is the rotation of the earth making the moon appear 3 times.

If you stick in at school and study really hard...one day you'll figure it out

Pfft the lunar control "computer" had less logic gates than you can add in Minecraft.

Did Minecraft ever land on the moon?

First off you moron, the moon doesn't orbit the the earth every day. Second, god you're a moron.

How do you shoot a duck with a shotgun ?

Do you aim at the Duck, No.

You aim at where the duck is going to be.

This coming from someone with E=MC2 AND Einsteins picture. bwahahah

Its actually pretty simple math.

Now the math that allowed Voyager I and II to visit so many planets and use each one for a gravity thrust assist was
COMPLEX.

That was until a 25-year-old mathematics graduate called Michael Minovitch came along in 1961.
Excited by UCLA's new IBM 7090 computer, the fastest on Earth at the time, Minovitch decided to take on the hardest problem in celestial mechanics: the "three body problem".
The issue was being able to reach the outer planets in practical timeframe
The three bodies it refers to are the Sun, a planet and a third object such as an asteroid or comet all travelling through space with their gravities acting on each other. The problem is predicting exactly how the gravity of the Sun and the planet will influence the third object's trajectory.
Astronomers had been pondering the three-body problem for at least 300 years, ever since they'd started plotting the path that comets took as they fell through the inner Solar System towards the Sun.

Michael Andrew Minovitch (born c. 1936) is an American mathematician who produced spacecraft trajectories enabling a craft to gain velocity by travelling close to a planet orbiting the sun.
His own personal gravity assist technique was developed in the early 1960s when he was a UCLA graduate student and working summers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.
In 1961 Minovitch began using the fastest available computer at the time, the IBM 7090, to solve the three-body problem. He ran simulations and developed his own solution by 1962.
Early studies of comets in the late 19th century showed that their orbits were quite different after they had made a close approach to Jupiter.
This indicated that a transfer of energy had occurred during the encounter.
The first mission to use a gravity assist was Pioneer 10, which increased its velocity from 52,000 km/h to 132,000 km/h as it passed by Jupiter in December, 1973.

Then how did they take off? They didn't have enuff fuel!

that's no moon...

who filmed the lander leaving the Moon for the orbiter and how did they get the footage back here after the ride had fucked off would be a better question?

Lol. Is that what they told the pilots (astronauts) before they set off? Bet that reassured them.

How did they know they wouldn't land in a crater and tip over?

math, learn it, it will do you some good.

I'd like to see them actually land the luna module...on earth.

If they cant do it here, they cant do it on the moon.


Has there been an actual video outside of the fake moon landing videos that shows the LEM actually touching down...any where?

play kerbal space program

Or land on a medium sized rock?

the pilot had the ability to maneuver the craft but was limited by the fuel for those thrusters. if he saw there was a rock under them he tapped the gas.

Easy, the moon is just as flat as the earth...

The same way a car synchronizes to enter a main highway in a confluence ..

iF YOU CANT UNDERSTAND IT ...

get us rid of your existence so we have more air to breathe!

No, it only shows you have zero research skills.
It was filmed with the remote camera mounted to the rover and operated remote by Ed Fendell in Houston. The footage was beamed back as it happened.

They have eyes and can steer. How do you known you won't drive off a cliff with your car?

to land somewhere means that there must be a land first. Since there's nothing else on a way to the moon, they didn't have any other option where to land to...

why didn't the astronauts take any 360 degree videos while they were on the moon, which is something i'm sure any human would do, to showcase the moon to all of humanity back to earth, instead we get shots that are narrow in the field of view and very boring that look like stages
