He's tethered? Aren't all of them? I guess I don't understand how this contributes to a flat Earth revelation.

They are tied in, not "floating" as if in space.

 

They have edited out all other wires, but missed those when he pulled the guy back.

 

Pretty sure that Tweet is implying they are not in "outer space.

 

We definitely knows it's not the moon, as NASA has claimed the technology used to get there the first time has been destroyed.... lol.

What would we gain by going back to the moon? Originally what we gained was a lot of technology to get us there.

 

Quick question... if we gained all this supposed technology, why in the world would we destroy it?

We are working on going back to the moon. Nasa has a big new rocket they are working on for new moon missions and other missions.

What did we destroy? The lessons learned from getting to the moon helped out in a bunch of other things, space and non space related, including the ISS.

Last I looked, there some nice rocketry on display at Space Center Houston as well as many other items that came from that era.

What specific technology are you referring to as being destroyed from that period?

The technology to get to the moon.

Last time I looked there was still items that were used to get to the moon present at Space Center Houston... and that was several years ago. Of course that "technology" would be basically useless today. Hell, as far as that goes, our cell phones or average smart watch have WAY more processing power than the onboard flight computers had back then.

Exactly, so why can we not go back now?

I'm just going off what one of the astronauts say.

Well, I'm sure there was shit from that era destroyed... why should it all be kept. Is that astronaut a secret hoarder?

I don't really see the need to keep a lot of shit that was one-off use for the shots. Could it be used now to create a new "rocket" or space transportation module more efficiently than what we can build with todays technology? I thought that was what diagrams (construction related) were there for.

Why in the hell would the US destroy the technology that allowed us to get to the moon? That makes absolutely zero sense.

Did you ever research the cost (actual) involved? Cost/benefit ratio is not really there.

What exact benefit would we gain by going back other than to say "we've been back there again". Would it not be MORE beneficial to work on going to some of our sister flat planets like Mars? The technology that got us to the moon would NOT get us to Mars.

Why the hell would the US destroy a carrier that helped win WWII, or combat planes that helped win WWI/WWII that could still float/fly. You don't keep shit around that is basically useless when you can create better, more effective items.

 

The biggest technology to get there (and back) is still present, but just in improved forms. The rocket motors currently in use are MUCH more reliable and efficient than the Saturn V ones were and the computers outpace what was present then.

Mars.... hahahhahhahhaah.

 

We cannot even make it "back" to the moon, yet we are going to discuss getting to Mars? That's laughable.

So you say....

 

But a NASA astronaut says it isn't.

 

So, who is right?

Me... because I know for a fact that the module used to power the Saturn V rocket computer doesn't even compare to 1980's computer technology much less what we have today (specifically in speed and raw processing power) and that the new Dragon series rockets are more efficient.

EDIT <added after finally finding the info>

The AGC (and is in one of the photos above) which basically flew the module had approximately 64Kbyte of memory and operated at 0.043MHz.

 

Which "NASA astronaut" is stating that?

And you do realize that most all astronauts want to go back to the moon - just to go back there. They have no real reason to. There is a natural draw to it by man and most ALL of them would want to be the first one to "return to the moon" as they realize that by the time we do an effective planet visit shot they are going to be to old to be in the running and won't have a chance to make it into history.

 

The only way I (and many other folks way smarter than me) see going back to the moon is to begin building a lunar base to use as a jump point for space travel. We are not there in being able to currently create a base that would be self-supportive - but again that is where a bunch of research for visiting Mars would come in handy.

 

The active encouragement today is to have private industry carry much of the space load... and that is also pissing those "NASA astronauts" off as all their buddy-buddy/good ole boy system that they invested so much time in doesn't mean shit as now it's a private business and not the government doing it.

 

Here's How Much a Ticket on a SpaceX Flight to the Moon Will Cost | Inverse

 

And for your edification, and what is pissing many of those astronauts off since it's a lowly civilian and not their well trained self -

On Monday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced that his company will fly two private individuals — not current astronauts, that is — on a trip around the moon and back on the Dragon 2 spacecraft.

<emphasis added by me>

 

So it looks like private industry is going to be hitting the moon first.

 

The Apollo program cost us around $200B in todays dollars - and I personally can think of several areas that much money could be better spent than going to to moon just to say "we went back". Until we are ready to have a permanent presence on the moon there is no real need to go back there. There are higher priority areas that funds are being directed towards that were either not present in the 1960/70's or of lower usage/need. The war on terror

As of August 2016, the US has already appropriated, spent, or taken on obligations to spend more than $3.6 trillion in current dollars on the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria and on Homeland Security (2001 through fiscal year 2016). To this total should be added the approximately $65 billion in dedicated war spending the Department of Defense and State Department have requested for the next fiscal year, 2017, along with an additional nearly $32 billion requested for the Department of Homeland Security in 2017, and estimated spending on veterans in future years. When those are included, the total US budgetary cost of the wars reaches $4.79 trillion

social welfare, and many other areas that have increased.

 

And NASA does have SLS in process of development - it's just running slow and has a target date in 2023 to have a manned space mission launched.... but the private industry (read Elon Musk mainly) will most likely be there first.

Me...

 

Lol. Pat yourself on the back.

 

That's hilarious.

 

A guy who literally works for NASA, who is an astronaut, says the technology has been destroyed and we cannot go to the moon. And you are right and he's not?

 

Tell me, how many space missions were you a part of again?
