Are we ready to "RETURN" to the moon?
FAR FROM IT. The moon landing could have been faked for many reasons, the one thing proponents of the landing never seem to satisfy the reasoning WHY we can't go to the moon now even if we tried. The science was not there in the 60's and now we are only getting to the point where getting there is a possibility.
The urgency of getting to the moon is far greater than people believe, so why not just go there now if we have the potential? Because we just might not be there just yet. Otherwise there is not a damn reason to believe we need to wait another 12 or 14 (or whatever rediculous number) years to get there.
Engineering, especially in the technological realm, has expanded over itself RELENTLESSLY since the 50s and 60's, how in the world can it be reconciled that getting to the moon couldn't be done in a quarter of the 10 year time it took back in the 60's to achieve such a mission? HOW?
This all fine and good, but also explain how the greatest event in the HISTORY of mankind- and NASA (government space agency) loses the original taps? No, there isn't tapping on the moon due to it's having 1/6th the gravity of earth, and there is reason to believe NO human has indeed stepped on the moon. Or we'd have the tapes.
I'm not convinced we have been there 100%, but i'd like to believe we did and i believe a landing in the future is going to happen (again?). And what makes it such a tough decision to make this a CO-OP scenario with other countries to make this happen EVEN FASTER??? I think this mission is opening up to other countries, but I doubt America could have beaten the rest of the world to the moon without their help.
Golly, look at our horrible cars for heaven's sake.
Here's a link discussing the Van Allen Belt dilemma: http://internet.ocii.com/~dpwozney/apoll... The author of that article calculated a minimum radiation exposure of 375 rem/day for the Apollo astronauts. United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation estimates that our Moon travelers were only exposed to a cumulative 0.5 rem for their entire mission. And, I would agree with their assessment, they're not lying. Because the astronauts NEVER went past the Van Allen belts!

As soon as I save enough money to buy one-way tickets for Bush, Cheney and all their cohorts.
PS: I think it's absolutely hilarious that the people who think we didn't go to the moon despite all the evidence tend to be the same people who think we are constantly being visited by aliens despite the *lack* of evidence!

NASA plans to return by 2020, but it depends on enough funding which Congress may not approve.
