Ok mate, pick up your dummy.
Christ, why not tar us with all the same brush?
I can read government websites too. Gosh, it must all be true.
Sorry, I have checked now and a stand corrected. Thanks for the info. You have totally changed my belief.
It's like a revelation people. I have seen the light!

I was wondering about the Apollo 11 moon landing..... Imagine trying to shoot up some module from earth and dock it with an airplane.... it would be pretty hard nowadays.
Trying to dock an airplane with something in the earth's atmosphere is harder than trying to dock two spacecraft in space.
There are too many variable forces acting on the plane in the sky (wind resistance being a big one) that we don't have in space. For the most part, the only force acting on spacecraft in orbit is the gravitational pull of the object they are orbiting -- but that force would be basically the same on BOTH craft, so any variables associated with that would be negligible.
Put it this way: in space, if two craft are moving at the same speed and in the same direction -- even if that speed is 17000 mph, to the people in those two spacecraft, the two craft would seem to not be moving at all relative to each other. And that is why they can dock, even at 17000 mph.

If we went to the moon, why haven't we returned with bigger and better technology?
I said MOST not ALL so be more careful when you read a post

Be careful what you read on government websites
Do you all know that when the Astronauts were on the Moon and pictures were taken the distance to objects and features were recorded.
These distance and features can be checked on the LRO QuickMap site also very small craters and rocks
seen in the pictures taken on the surface can be matched up as well and could only been taken if the Astronauts were on the surface because NOTHING we had then could have photographed them!!!
I have more technology in my calculator.

Ok, I have said it before and I'll say it again.......

Well I actually didn't say we didn't land men on the moon. I merely pointed out there is a very big difference between machinery and men when considering space travel. However one has to certainly consider the type of machinery we had 50 years ago. They used slide rules then. You cell phone has more processing power than the lunar module. Hindsight is 20/20 and looking at the stuff were claimed went to the moon, certainly begs some questions at the very least.

Has anyone seen what the Apollo 11 spacecraft looks like? I cant believe humans actually believe we landed on the moon, played golf, hopped around and came back to earth. It was absolutely fake. The moon never rotates, there isn't some floating sphere up there. Its some sort of future technology only some other society has, not a hologram but in that ballpark. They faked the moon landings because its impossible to land on.
how can this be since the soviet union put a flag on the space station and it was destroyed with less than a year and ... our flag is still standing after 50 years & enduring cosmic radiation and being bombarded my micrometers ??
