Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
Ok the objective of the apollo program was to land man on the moon. Now contary to popular belief there is a lot of people who dont think it ever happened or has evered happened at all. I for one may love my conspiracies but i dont go in for this one. Following a conversation i had on irc i decided to ask people what they thought
So did man/has man landed on the moon????

Re: Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
LMAO hahahaha give him 2 years and ill be able to buy a ticket to the moon lol.
Man but think about the view from ur room on one side it would be the most amazing thing you had seen (the earth not the call girl you ordered) and on the other i was gonna say darkness but you do see stars dont you. And well a the stars not spoilt by light pollution i think would be amazing.
Did you see that space craft he invested in then. Well project anyway. That was pretty impressive

Re: Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
man has never been to the moon it is unpossible a rocket would need to be a million tonnes to get to the moon also there are no stars in the pictures and the shadows are wrong so it is oviusly fake if the moon was billions of years old the dust would be hundreds of feet deep so that is proof of a young earth too

Re: Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
My theory is that when in 1962 the US* rocket landed on moon, it was absorbed by the moon which is made out of cheese. So they decided to fake it on earth by using human clones.

War of the Worlds was based and written in Woking.
It's where I used to live (my dad still lives there). It's funny because it's the only thing Woking is famous for, so they actually have statues and monuments of the tripod-things from WotW there.
Useless info, but it amused me when I first saw the tripod.

Re: Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
There was a BBC documentary on this subject last year where they took every single shred of evidence the conspiracy theorists had for man not landing on the moon and basically ripped it all to shreds. The dust thing - shut up you don't know what you're talking about. The shadow thing - go out in the street where things are at various odd angles and the light sources coming from specific points and see whether all the shadows are parallel. The flag waving - go into a vacuum (in your imagination) and try putting up an object that is not stiff without causing it to oscillate - will be difficult believe me. Go into the desert using the exact same cameras that were used to film the moon landing and you will find that even there - with no light pollution - you can see no stars in any video you make. Can't remember everything else and I'm probably not explaining them properly, but basically the BBC ripped it all to pieces. I mean for crying out loud. Don't you think the Russians who would obviously have been tracking the spacecraft would have had something to say had it not actually existed?!

Something that isn't stiff won't oscillate. The flag has a bar inside that keeps it up without wind, giving it a moment of inertia to oscillate with.

Pure and simple, the objective of the apollo mission was to land on the moon
"Project Apollo was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the United States of America using the Apollo spacecraft, conducted during the years 1961-1972. It was devoted to the goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth within the decade of the 1960s. This goal was achieved with the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. The program continued into the early 1970s to carry out the initial hands-on scientific exploration of the Moon. "
The last 3 apollo missions were cancelled to release money to the space shuttle program
Quote:
"I believe we should go to the moon. But I think every citizen of this country as well as the Members of the Congress should consider the matter carefully in making their judgment, to which we have given attention over many weeks and months, because it is a heavy burden, and there is no sense in agreeing or desiring that the United States take an affirmative position in outer space, unless we are prepared to do the work and bear the burdens to make it successful. If we are not, we should decide today and this year.

"This decision demands a major national commitment of scientific and technical manpower, material and facilities, and the possibility of their diversion from other important activities where they are already thinly spread. It means a degree of dedication, organization and discipline which have not always characterized our research and development efforts. It means we cannot afford undue work stoppages, inflated costs of material or talent, wasteful interagency rivalries, or a high turnover of key personnel.
"New objectives and new money cannot solve these problems. They could in fact, aggravate them further--unless every scientist, every engineer, every serviceman, every technician, contractor, and civil servant gives his personal pledge that this nation will move forward, with the full speed of freedom, in the exciting adventure of space."
|
To the "main" question of did they land on the moon, I belive they did. Technologically they were able to do it after the Gemini project.

i wasnt being particularly deep, what i meant was that whether it happened or not, it was believed at the time and served its political purpose. Whether it actually happened or not is immaterial, as the effects of it happening have taken place.

Re: Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
No. its a hollywood conspiracy. I mean, in 1969 they totally had the technologies such as CGI animation ect to plant a man on the moon, ectetra.
And those rockets going into space, well, that was aliens O.o.

The Apollo program cost $25.4 billion dollars (in 1969 dollars). And if you factor in the value of the rocks they brought back, it's only $25.4 billion dollars.
Best boondoggle ever!

Ok first of all **** anybody who says this thread is stupid!!! there are threads in the forum about what turns people on. Im sorry but this on par if not better than them.
Secondly i agree with HAL - 9000s arguments further up. Thirdly who cares about the cost of the programme they spend BILLIONS on ****ing weapons every year at least this actually gained something
And FINALLY bla bla bla bla bla

It's not the thread that's stupid, it's (most of) the "evidence" that people usually provide to show we didn't land on the moon.

Re: Did the Apollo program successfully complete its mission??
I went to a talk by some Russian Cosmonauts earlier this week (well, technically one of them wasn't a Cosmonaut, and the other one was Ukrainian), and they reckoned that although the landings were real, some of the videos and pictures were touched up on Earth to make them look better, hence some of the discrepancies.
Interestingly, one of them has a plan to "borrow" a few bits and pieces from the ISS, and use them to send tourists around the Moon, so you can always go and have a look for yourself if you have the cash.
