why hasn`t anyone else gone to the moon ,it makes no sense with todays technology,?

Question

i believe the USA`s landing was a elaborate hoax,devised to show our countries superiority to russia .and all involved are sworn to secrecy or the CIA will kill them.do you agree

Answer 1

Once we got to the moon, there wasn't much to do there. That's why later flights were cancelled. It was just a technology race.

After the space station is built, the next step might be to go back to the moon, but for what purpose?

Perhaps if the moon has something to mine that we needed, that we couldn't get here--but it hasn't been identified.

As a station to launch to the next planet, but moon wouldn't have much advantage over a launch from earth, or the space station.

We've got far better technology today to get there, but until a good reason appears, there's no good reason to go there. (Except perhaps to give rich people rides) Hmmmm.

Answer 2

1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.

Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean
Apollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>
Apollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell
Apollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin
Apollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke
Apollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt


2) Why haven't we been back?

a) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.

b) 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.

c) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?


3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts? Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?

The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos. Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA.

The radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong. You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness. And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection. "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."

"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation." When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.


4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?

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!


5) What about the USSR?

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.


6) Why does the flag shake? Where are the stars? Who took the video of Neil Armstrong?

Take a look at the first two websites listed below. They deal well with all of the technical questions.


7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

Answer 3

It takes money to do these things. The only reason we went in the first place, or the reason we didn't care about the money, was that we had to beat the russians since this was during the Cold War Era.

We don't go unless we have a plan that will help mankind. This is why we're going back in 2020 and possibly setting up a station so we can have easier access to Mars.

You think other countries want to forget about everything else like Security, Poverty, Crime, Health Care, the Enviornment, amongst many others, and just up and go to the moon for no reason other than...it's pretty cool to go the moon?

Don't embarrass yourself.

PS: We went to the moon.

Answer 4

You are silly to think U.S.A.'s moon landings were a hoax. Russia was planning on going to the moon during the 70's but when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, the Russians got dissapointed and gave up practically.And to think that people are swoen to secrecy or the CIA will kill them is silly too.AMERICANS landed on the moon!!!! It's not a hoax it was real.Go ask Neil Armstrong,Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, and all the other Americans that DID land on the moon. They will tell you that they did.

Answer 5

If you understand the physics and math you know it can be done. If you do not, you can still use logic to test your premise.

The people in the best position to know--the government of Russia--obviously believes that the U.S. did in fact go to the moon. Otherwise they would not have given up the race and they would have debunked it. The CIA has no power over them.

Answer 6

do you agree ? No -- Why hasn`t anyone else gone to the moon ,it makes no sense with todays technology,? Too expensive and needless

Answer 7

Try a different haircut. Apparently your breathing too many hairspray fumes from the maintenance of that mullet.

Answer 8

Because there's nothing there of any value, why waste billions of dollars going back?

Answer 9

um...........it has to do with a very little known item that is in high demand.

im not sure if you've heard of it, cause of all the drugs ur taking. Its called MONEY.

Answer 10

The mind is a terrible thing to waste . . .
