why manned mission to moon not attempted after 1969 even after getting so much advancements in technology?

Answer 1

That's an excellent question. Why? Could it be that we never went to the moon in the first place? The book Dark Moon--Apollo And The Whistle-Blowers by David S. Percy & Mary Bennett have researched the plethora of anomalies and contradictions concerning Apollo's manned missions to the moon. Hasn't the technology improved since NASA's declaration that "Faster, Cheaper and Better" would allow an attempt to go back? Why didn't the Russians go? To say that the manned moon missions were to expensive is a ridiculous argument. Are we not spending money on war and expect no return on the grants given out to allies and nations of concern? Money is not the issue when you understand that it is nothing but the trading of electrons on Wall Street screens. The fact of the matter, we cannot go to the moon because of the Van Allan Radiation belts, Solar particle events (solar flares), and Galactic Cosmic Radiation. The NASA/Joint Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California even has/had a big picture in its lobby called the "Great Galactic Ghoul." This illustration is dedicated to the "biggest show stopper" for manned space travel. Radiation! John A. Maudling in Prospects For Interstellar Travel put it like this:

"Cosmic particles are dangerous, come from all sides, and require at least two meters (6 ft 6 inches) of solid shielding around all living organisms."

Answer 2

The major purpose of Kennedy's dream to put a man on the moon and return him safely by the end of the decade was a propaganda coup to put the USA ahead of the USSR in the space race. That achieved, what more was there to do?

There were in fact six landings, 2 in 1969, 2 in 1971 and 2 in 1972, There was a gap because of the near-disaster of Apollo 13's oxygen tank and further missions were suspended whilst improved safety precautions were undertaken.

Any return to the moon now is mainly motivated by establishing a colony before India or China gets there first, and by the desire to harvest Helium 3 (blown there by the solar wind) from the regolith on the surface.

Answer 3

I think you mean not attempted after 1972, but the answer is the political will, and by extension, the all-important MONEY, was no longer there.

We didn't go just in the name of science, although we gained tons of knowledge; we wanted to beat the Russians. Only a few months after the first landing, the public already began to perceive the following landings as "routine", as if going to the moon could be routine. Perhaps it will be routine one day, but probably not in our lifetime.

Eventually, Congress began to believe that the tax money would be better spent on other things, and Nasa's budget was cut. We might go again in the next decade or two, and our new technology will help, but only to a point - Newton's laws haven't changed.

Answer 4

Becouse it was only a one time thing, to show the world that we can go to the moon. We dont need to explore more of the moon. It's not that worth of wasting money on it while we can go to Mars. That's why Nasa is consentraiting on Mars Mission in 2010. YOu'll see the next missions that Nasa is doing at the website below.

Answer 5

I have been thinking that exact same question for the past few days. If the "walks on the moon" really happened, then why, to this date, have they not gone to the moon since then? They keep saying "wow, we have found eveidence of possible life" or "an area which would support the basics of life", yet they have not gone back to actually study it?? Either the walks never happened or they are, like you said, paranoid about something else out there.

Answer 6

The moon isn't worth the dollars to get there, at the moment. The reason we went there in the first place was to one up the Soviets, and since there's no other impetus like that around for us, we've gotten a bit lazy.

Answer 7

In a word: money.

It wasn't - and still isn't - cheap to go to the Moon, and once we beat the Soviets to the Moon, there just wasn't a great enough incentive for us to return. It's hard to sell such an expensive program to taxpayers when it doesn't offer immediate, tangible benefits.

Answer 8

they found the alien living there and they created a shadow government and took over the whole world and they don't want any one to find out so they keep all humans off the moon. lamo


but really its just too expensive to do you would need billions to do it now with the current technology.

Answer 9

It has been attempted but hasn't happened. NASA doesn't get funded anymore and the race is over. The problem is it's so expensive we can't afford to.

Answer 10

I don't think the government wants to spend a couple billion dollars to go there again. and I'm sure you don't want to spend it in taxes either!

I want to see them go out of our solar system to another galaxy. Impossible this day in age though =(
