50 year Apollo 11 Mission in 8 days
JFK had planned to go to the Moon with the Russians to end the Cold War.

He also wanted to end 3rd World nations by creating a global economy.

Re: 50 year Apollo 11 Mission in 8 days
The challenge, hope and accomplishment of going to the moon was not just for space agencies, it was for humanity as well, as Neil Armstrong so eloquently expressed when touching the surface.

We lost so much by not going together with the Russians to show to the rest of the nations that partnerships in scientific, medical or agricultural endeavors is good for everyone.

TPTB recognized this. They recognized that JFK was a dangerous man to their plans for the future which is where we find ourselves today in their dangerous world with only the after thoughts of what could have been.

"The first successful tests were carried out in 1962 when a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology succeeded in observing laser pulses reflected from the Moon's surface using a laser with a millisecond pulse length.[2] Similar measurements were obtained later the same year by a Soviet team at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory using a Q-switched ruby laser."

So if they were already successfully bouncing lasers off the moon to determine it's distance in 1962, what does that have to do with proving we went there?

Those were done off the lunar surface. The pods I speak of are used to accurately measure lunar distances today by reflecting laser off devices left on the moon.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76871995


Quote- "At the Moon's surface, the beam is about 6.5 kilometers (4.0 mi) wide[9] and scientists liken the task of aiming the beam to using a rifle to hit a moving dime 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) away. The reflected light is too weak to see with the human eye. Out of 1017 photons aimed at the reflector, only one is received back on Earth, even under good conditions."

So if the beam is 4 miles wide by the time it gets to the moon, what evidence do you have that it is the 2 foot wide mirror left by astronauts that reflected the 1 out of 1017 photons back, and not just the surface? The surface worked just fine to complete the same test 7 years before we supposedly went.

Your question here makes no sense.

The retroreflector mirror arrays placed on various Apollo missions prove we went to the moon.

If you have evidence that we didn't go to the moon please submit it.
