Not to mention all the micro meteorites whizzing by their heads while spacewalking.

And. No toilets on a spacewalk.

Just adult diapers.

If the US didn't land on the Moon, or even get into Lunar orbit, then why did the Russians provide their unmanned Luna 15 flight plans to NASA? NASA was concerned that Luna 15s orbit could interfere with Apollo 11. The Russians were attempting to return lunar soil back to Earth and beat the US. Luna 15 failed. Remember this is the Soviets. Not a chance in hell would they have allowed the US to upstage them with faked manned Moon landings.

Wiki Luna 15 link

Why did the Soviets congratulate the US on the mission and invite Neil Armstrong to visit and give talks in Russia? The Soviets monitored and acknowledged that the US had successfully won the Moon Race.



Both the Soviet President and Prime Minister congratulated the US on the manned landing of Apollo 11. Why would they do such a thing?

1969 news snippets.

The West Australian, Friday 18 July 1969, page 16 Russians hail Apollo The Soviet news agency Tass yesterday put out an 800-word story outlining America's moon programme and hailing the three Apollo 11 astronauts. Tass described the three men as "those courageous people entrusted with the most responsible task of landing on the moon." Pravda, the Soviet Communist Party newspaper, wished the astronauts bon voyage. It said: "Let us wish its courageous crew a happy voyage and full success."...

The West Australian, Wednesday 23 July 1969, page 8 Congratulations from Kosygin Moscow, Tuesday Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin sent congratulations to the Apollo 11 astronauts and President Nixon yesterday through former vice-president Humphrey, who is visiting Moscow. Mr Humphrey was called to Mr Kosygin's office in the Kremlin after the moon walk. Mr Humphrey quoted Mr Kosygin as saying: "I want you to tell the President and the American people that the Soviet Union desires to work with the U.S. in the cause of peace." Prompt reports The Russian radio reported the landing of the astronauts within ten minutes of touch-down and announced the ascent from the moon even more promptly. Moscow television showed the moon walk yesterday.

Manawatu Evening Standard, Friday 25 July 1969, page 1 Soviet praise From Moscow, the Soviet President, Mr N. Podgorny, today congratulated President Nixon on "the successful completion of the outstanding flight of the spaceship Apollo-XI, the moon landing and the safe return to earth of the American cosmonauts." The Soviet President's telegram said: "Please convey our congratulations and best wishes to the courageous space pilots Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins." Russian television viewers saw their first live transmission from the epic Apollo-XI flight, as the moon-walking astronauts landed on the Hornet.

Correction needed predictive text still gets me. But you have to admit the universe is huge. I mean really huge and its waistline continues to expand.

Don't bother arguing he's ignoring decades of scientific research. He has to have been living in a cave in Afghanistan for decades.

The Moon will be the toilet..!

Oh damn, I thought it was supposed to be launched this year, or maybe the next, and now I read it's delayed yet again...

I would like to see that before I die.

I don't know about subsequent missions but unequivocally Apollo 11 was staged. Buzz and Neil did go into orbit and landed in the ocean but the rest was pre filmed and then later broadcast to seem as though it was from the moon. The reason for that is simple and geopolitical.

It doesn't matter whether or not humans are capable with 1969 tech to get to the Moon. What matters is the beliefs of all of the scientists at the time. Almost everyone thought it was impossible, between the van Allen belts etc, they didn't think it was feasible.

The problem was that not only did we need to go, we needed to succeed and come back successfully first try.

IOW they could NOT take the chance for a failure. It would have been really really flying them into space, but I know they did, probably to minimize the number of people that needed to be in on it, mission control etc, because my father was on the hornet when they were picked up in the ocean and had pictures of the capsule.

They couldn't take a chance that they would fail and public perception was wanting in the cold war due to our losses against Russia.

Since no one thought it was even possible at the time, there was no perceived risk of Russia being able to successfully claim we didn't go.

So the decision was made to pre film under the guise of doing tests and use that footage while keeping the capsule in a moon Earth synchronous orbit.

It's simple really. It was psyops, propaganda because we needed to take the lead on the cold war via the space race.

As I said it's possible we went on subsequent missions or attempted to. Hell Apollo 13 may have been the first actual attempt and the problems that ensued were what would've been likely the first time. Who knows, but to think that we would risk the consequences of failure on that first attempt is foolishness.

What's humorous is believing that we land on the moon a number of times.. Then lost all the original footage AND forgot how to do it

Its a big joke for anyone dumb enough to believe it

You really think we didn't land on the moon?

2018 we have 546 genders.... People think rhe earth is flat, we never went to the moon, and babies should pick their gender.....

How can there be any doubt we are getting more stupid as a species

Its like Idiocracy was a documentary rather than a movie

a reply to: Vector99

There are many idiotic notions out there flat Earth and non sex gender among them; however, your conflation between flat Earth, multi genders and fake moon landings shows your lack of reasoning, or disingenuousness and nothing more.

Jaden

That should've been more directed at moron behind the mask but you seemed to agree so if it applies... Shrug...

Earth is round we went to the moon:
The complete silence after bragging about
imminent military lunar bases by US Military branches
in the 1960’s is suspect.
Enough for me to entertain the idea this won’t be
the first human lunar outpost.

As a species we are we are getting smarter but some members of our species are being dumbed down by government , TV and MSM , worker ants don't need to be smart to be productive.

Don't judge the whole by the few.

D it! Do it! do it!

forgot how to do it

Who told you that?
Because they were wrong.

Oh yes. The Soviets. The people who were willing to start WW3 to spread communism in the 60s and just quietly gave up on communism in the late 80s for no apparent reason just because Reagan said so. Because that TOTALLY makes sense.
