Did man really land on the moon and if so why havent they made more man'ed missions to the moon?

Question

apllo space mission

Answer 1

Yes. There were six manned landings on the moon.

1) I used to go to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to go skiing. Since I don't go there now, does it mean I never went?

2) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't. Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.

3) In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.

If six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not just one moon landing, but six of them!

4) Even if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.

Answer 2

Yes, I have no doubt about it. There are a lot of conspiracy theories going around, but there are too many pictures, etc. that would have been impossible to stage. The main reason that we haven't pursued sending man back to the moon is that there is little there to justify a mission (these missions cost a lot of money). Unless our government puts more money into our space program, the Space Shuttle will soon be a thing of the past as well. The missions to more distant locations have been unmanned because we haven't learned how to deal with men in space for long periods of time. Time in space has health side effects - they don't advertise this too much, but the astronauts that spent extended time up there suffered bone and muscle deterioration even with all the precautions. To sum it all up - it is cost and danger preventing their going to the moon.

Answer 3

Yes. Read this for more Debunking of the Moon Hoax Theory --> http://www.braeunig.us/space/hoax.htm

Why not more manned missions? It is expensive and un-manned missions are safer, cheaper and can find out almost as much new information.

In September 2005, NASA announced plans to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020. Not since 1972 and the last of the Apollo missions have human beings set foot on our nearest neighbor in space. NASA's new vision, costed at $104 billion, will use technology already employed on the Space Shuttle and a modular spacecraft that has been described as "Apollo on steroids".

The Shuttle is to be retired by 2010 in order to pay for its replacement, Orion, which is scheduled to enter service no later than 2014. This vehicle will be shaped like the Apollo Command and Service Modules, but three times larger, and able to carry four astronauts to the Moon at a time.

Answer 4

1.Why can’t we do it now? – quite simply, there is no Saturn V rocket and there is no lunar lander (LEM). It needed the phenomenal power of this giant 360 foot rocket to get a manned probe beyond Earth’s orbit, and it needed the ultra-lightweight but immensely high-tech LEM to land on the moon. Both machines were multi-billion dollar developments. Both are no more.
2.What happened to the Apollo? – read the history. Americans were wholly caught up in the Vietnam war, with massive and violent demonstrations going on. People saw the space program as a huge waste of money when there were so many social and international problems to attend to.
3.Apollos 18-20 were cancelled because of lack of taxpayer interest. There were plans to take along a small “flyer”, so astronauts could get around quicker.
4.There would be no use for the Saturn V booster any more. It is not needed for putting men and women in orbit, or for sending relatively light unmanned probes to the planets.
5.If all the conspiracy lovers knew more about the space program, they would realise how much more expensive it is to send humans into space. We can soft-land robotic probes on Mars and Venus and even Saturn’s moon Titan, for a fraction of the cost of sending men to the moon.

Answer 5

America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.

Other Conspiracies to think about:

1. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.

2. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.

3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection. The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent employed by Giancana and Marcello on orders from Kruschev...or something like that.

4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.

5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets and stars as well the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.

6. Fossils of early homosapiens, homoerectus and earlier models were put their by evil paleontologists, athropoligists, and assorted rock hounds looking to enhance their careers, Creation is the real objective reality.

7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.

8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Answer 6

In 1969 they landed. And had 4 other missions to the moon after that.

There wasnt any need to go to the moon afterwards because interest waned, and they werent interested in building a colony, as it was too cost prohibitive.

Now that the Chineese are into the act, we have renewed interest before they do, to build a colony as a jumping off point to Mars.

I wish you well..

Answer 7

Yes Apollo really did land 12 men on the Moon between 1969 and 1972.

We have not done it again because nobody really cares enough to pay the billions it would cost. Yes, it would still cost billions because rocket technology has not advanced to the extent that electronic technology has.

Answer 8

They landed and the price of a trip to the moon is a little on the high side.

Answer 9

NASA's funding was pulled to a tiny fraction of what it was getting in the 60s. Heck, we have the technology to build a ship that can travel 1/10th of light-speed (18,600 miles a second vs. today's craft that do 7 miles a second!), but the money just isn't there for it.

Answer 10

Yep... it happened. Seriously... it really happened. Why is this so hard to believe?

Building and maintaining the International Space Station is a more difficult feat of physics and technology. But you don't hear anybody talking about an ISS conspiracy.
