Apollo mission's 50th anniversary

Post by Noisydad » 20 Jul 2019, 6:21 pm

It's the 50th anniversary of the moon landing today.
The big question is do you think they did it or faked it?
I think that we clearly live with governments that are quite happy to fake things to support an agenda and it wouldn't surprise me if they did fake it BUT I think that not only did they actually land on the moon but that a LOT more is known about both it and Mars than we're told.
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

The Germans landed on the Moon as early as 1942, utilizing their larger exo-atmospheric rocket saucers of the Miethe and Schriever type... so theres no reason the yanks couldn't have done it in 1969

Sounds cool ... It's probably based on a true story.
I was talking to a fella who'd either left his tin foil hat at home or lost it, he was telling me all about the Nazi moon base. It's on the dark side of the moon, but with tis telescope he can see the tops of the missile silos :crazy:

It's hard to know how to react to those kind of claims, so I just asked him if he'd be taking LSD that night.

I just saw a preview of “iron sky 2” , the “moon nazi’s” are back ! :lol: in the preview Adolf is back riding a T-Rex ! :lol: check it on YouTube. I read a lot and have quite a collection of books on lots of subjects, but my sci-fi novels are my favourite. A interesting series is “the lost regiment “ about a union civil war infantry/artillery regiment that gets sucked through a portal to a distant planet :P

One of the Astronauts that went up, lost his s**t about what was on the dark side of the moon, he said something like - he couldn’t describe it exactly, but they saw weird flashes that appeared to pass through them - and that something changed him...he apparently then lost it after a while.

It was the “moon nazis “ taz :lol:

I wouldn’t doubt the unknown. I’ve seen some strange things in the coarse of my life that others have witnessed, and no drugs or booze involved. Okay, maybe a little booze

Its interesting to think about how NASA sent men to the moon 50 years ago. I also find it really interesting how no other country, agency, government, society, corporation or body, has ever replicated the feat. Not even come close. Its the only thing in human history that was accomplished by one group and then not replicated by others.... im not saying we didn't go to the moon.... its just really interesting that only NASA has.... decades ago.

a very interesting point of view , one i can sympathise with . i try to use logic and common sense to justify some of my beliefs and views , but when these views go against the "popular" belief, ridicule and mockery usually follow . it wasn't that long ago that viking exploration of north america was a myth, in more recent times it has been proven to be fact . just one view that "experts" claimed was rubbish . but longhouses discovered in newfoundland and runestones in oklahoma prove they went further than imagined .ya gotta wonder though why more moon exploration didn't continue , especially with advances in technology :unknown:

There’s another famous quote that goes along the lines “the most amazing things that occur in this world, are taken for granted as one is born into, one wonders what an extra terrestrial might make of an explanation of a cumulus cloud or even the humble gravity force that moves water, but holds water all the same, those that cannot imagine sciences beyond our own world, are sadly failing humanity with blinkered educated guesses, that are often later proven to have failed generations” or some crap like that.

Regardless of whether they got to the moon or not one thing I find hard to understand is all the resources and money wasted on doing so nassa may have invented a few things that are good for the people but other than that the whole moon thing has done nothing for mankind except giving a small amount of power people boasting rights
I would have thought the money and resources would have been better spent by helping the needy like the homeless ,returned Veterans, hospitals ''the list is too long'' rather than on the moon jobie ''Just my opinion''

I've got this mate right...no really, an ACTUAL mate, who thinks that not only did they go to the moon but that NASA has never stopped going to the moon. They just stopped telling us. Further more he's said to me during the course of many weird and wonderful conversations, (none of of which have required any chemical enhancement because they get weird enough as it is), that he thinks we're already on Mars citing the $40 trillion black hole in the budget as the funding source.
I had a laugh but then later wondered who's to say he's wrong?

Hmm interesting topic.... my thoughts...

It was an environment of a race to beat the ruskies at everything. They won the first person in space... next logical step was moon, no expense spared.

Then people got disinterested, big companies wanted the government to spend money on war, the Congress decided spending billions per year to send a man on the moon is not going to achieve much except bragging rights..... atleast Mars can be colonized...or so they tell us.

I guess if we can learn to live on a planet that's
had most of its carbon dioxide atmosphere blown away by solar winds due to the lack of an intrinsic global magnetic field,
is bombarded so hard by radiation that the very instrument sent there to measure it got fried by it.
Has a night-time temperature of minus 73 degrees Celsius
Where almost all water exists only as ice....

Then its safe to say we'll be able to survive on earth for a while yet. ... 40 trillion well spent :thumbsup:

Next time you see ya slightly wacky mate, tell him that Neil Armstrong never went to the moon ... he came from the moon, want proof? what's Neil A spelt backwards ?
The whole lunar landing thing was actually rescue mission to save the stranded alien piolt.

Hey fellas, I heard on this morning news India has launched a moon mission to the moon ! True ! Their looking for water around the moons South Pole apparently. I reckon that’s a cover up . Their secretly opening the first 7 eleven/ quickie-mart on the moon ! Moon-slushy anyone ? I think due to resupply problems the pies might be a bit old !

I am legit on the fence with this one reasons are as follows:

- I wasnt born when all this was going down
- I dont personally know anyone who "went"
- I dont know anyone personally involved with the missions
- There is video of nasa expert scientists admitting we dont have the means to cross the van allen belts
- There is video of nasa expert scientists saying that "we used to have the technology to goto the moon, but they destroyed it all??
- Apparently they destroyed all tech needed to get to the moon, yet have tech in development to goto mars? hard to believe they would be able to goto mars and not the moon
- Mars has little to no atmosphere, no breathable air and extreme radiation exposure, just like the moon, yet no moon base to train future mars pilgrims? not convincing.
- There are countless videos picking apart the moon landing, and only one moon landing video (that is picked apart)
- The moon landing took place during an era of extreme propaganda, exiting was nazi propaganda and bolshevik and incoming was soviet and USA and UK propaganda and cold war antics.... so who knows.
- it still takes hours to days to stream in images from stellar probes yet somehow in the 60s they had the bandwidth and tech to stream video????

there are a lot of unanswered issues with the whole thing, but admittedly I wasnt around at the time so who knows.
