If we really went to the moon over 50 years ago, why haven't

We mostly went to the moon as a big fuck you to the communists. Haven't gone back because there's no economically viable reason to. It's gonna be a little while before space mining becomes more profitable than just picking shit off the ground.

Pretty much this. Probes can go to the moon for a fraction of the cost. Why send a person up there if not for a specific purpose? Almost all space research can be done on earth or the ISS.

Because it became apparent by the 2nd or 3rd trip that there was no reason to spend a ton of money to keep humans alive on the moon.

We'll make the same mistake with Mars, which is even worse in terms of the amount of time it takes to get there.

The whole Mars colonization idea is a pile of shit. It would be far easier and actually make more sense to colonize the Marianas Trench but that would not appeal to the Trekkies who want to live on Mars with their tricorders.

There was a time when the consensus here was that it's all fake, which it is. It's a very touchy subject for the elite and the shills here because if they are publicly caught out on such a huge lie, then the normies won't trust them anymore in regards to anything.

I can see how people were fooled when they were watching it on miniature black an white low red boxes, but there's really no excuse for that kind of ignorance in this modern world.

yes, yes, and no.

Colonizing mars would cost billions if not trillions simply to get the food there. Sending food to the bottom of the ocean would be trivial in comparison.

We can learn things at the bottom of the ocean about our planet. Having people on mars will not learn anything that a rover can learn.

Both are impractical. One is doable, the other is not.

>>133600819
Lack of public interest after several moon landings killed the program.

There is literally no reason to go to the moon, or Mars. When the USA did it, it was bravado to upstage the USSR.

So what? NASA went for function over aesthetics. Parts of the lander needed to be replaced at any time during construction and testing, so molded plastic or thick sheet metal would have been a bad choice for the outer hull. And there is no atmospheric drag in space to require something that durable anyway.

Space is highly classified. This is not communicated to the media. Only a small portion of information gathered is shared with the public. ET's and evidence of their existence is highly classified. That is why segments of actual Moon footage has been reconstructed in-theater to replace any footage which may show evidence of ET's to the public.

The two most gaurded secrets are as follows:
1. The ongoing presence of aliens (ET's)
2. The exsitance and return of Planet X aka Nibiru.

Space x are the first to build a reusable rocket.

>>133607354
what's more plausible

we had the technology back in -69 that allowed men to land on moon & come back alive:
1. perfect launch, where nothing goes wrong & nothing breaks (life support systems, communications, fuel tanks, anything on the re-launch pad, landing gear, etc)
2. perfect journey, where no spacejunk in orbit of either earth or moon even scratches the shuttle, because even miniscule particles cause major damage in space.
3) perfect landing where nothing breaks
4) near perfect re-launch, on moon (where no rockets have ever been launched yet) where no major systems break
5) perfect journey back
6) not burning up in atmosphere & managing to land in the sea

or

moon landing was faked

2. perfect journey, where no stray birds or other obstacles even scratch the propeller
3. perfect landing where nothing breaks

Things like this are a product of research and lots of trial and error. The space program encountered numerous, numerous failures before they got a winner.

Where do you see landing gear on a Saturn V, tardling?
>No spacejunk in the 60s
Yeah
>Shuttle
You know they make documentaries, right? Watch one, and tell me where you see a shuttle?

You mean like the first landing where the flight computer overloaded, started heading for a boulder field, and Armstrong had to land manually?
>Perfect journey back
Orbital mechanics isn't that hard

Humor me

So the american propaganda machine fabricated it all, yet the Russian propaganda machine felt no need to point out all of the obvious inaccuracies with their story and evidence?

The two most powerful countries in the world were directly competing for that achievement as a huge governmental matter of national pride, funneling billions of dollars into it, then america fakes it and russia does nothing?

If the footage of the landing is so "obviously fake" then do you not think one or two of the l i t e r a l rocket scientists working for the USSR might have picked up on it and said something?

>>133600819

There is a vast difference between the moon, 200k+ miles away from the Earth in the middle of an uninhabitable void, and frigid Antarctica. Constructing bases in the latter is considerably easier and cheaper, and we know less about Antarctica than the Moon, hilariously enough.

I wouldn't be surprised if the treaties were bypassed regardless, but that's not my forte.

All I'll say before I take my leave is that I wish the crew of Apollo took the time to stomp out a giant "FUCK YOU" in the lunar soil before they left, one that could be seen by telescope. I know Buzz probably wish they did. But then unmanned rockets would be the cause of that one, huh guiz?

>>133611222
>but there are bases there.

comparing a really cold place to the moon is like saying "I put my hand in warm water all the time, why is it stupid to put my hand in boiling water?".

What about all the bases on mount everest? Oh yeah, it's colonized all right, by about 100 dead bodies that have not been retrieved because it's so fucking impossible to survive there at all.

Colonizing the moon or mars is idiotic, and the Trekkie nerds probably won't figure that out until enough people die living their dream.

In fact, there is a lot of evidence for two things if you look back to the history of US space command

B.) NASA is a front which doesn't seem to have any ambition to go back to the moon (why is this?)

C.) CIA documents show that Roswell craft and creatures were recovered, evidence by Von Braun seem to point to the fact that the US has light-speed capabilities and has already settled on Mars/other planets but hasn't gone to the moon because (aliens? Presumably)

The real question is we went from the horse and buggy to the moon in roughly 60 years, after that there has been nearly no new advancement in other forms of travel technology. Sure refinements and slight improvements have been made but no new grand world changing technology as far as transportation or engines is concerned. That is more highly suspect than if we went to the moon or not.

Rockets are expensive, and so is rocket fuel. There's a reason SpaceX having a re-usable rocket is so fucking important.

Also notice how after that we had a fuck ton of shuttle launches? It became easier to get to space after that.

Why bother?
As far as science goes, we can do 0-gravity experiments in the ISS and moonrock experiments with the leftover samples from the first trip there.
As for economics, the cost of going to the moon currently far outweighs any possible profit.

The reason we went there in the first place was for the patriotism/morale boost to citizens due to being the first country to land on the moon. But now that we've been there already, that bonus is gone. The cost can no longer be justified.

That's because we grew up on Earth. Everything about the pictures looks foreign to us, because it's a foreign environment (a vacuum) where particles perform differently. The engine exhaust hit the dust, sending it in parabolic trajectories away from the lander itself. They didn't hit air resistance (like Earth) and float about aimlessly landing everywhere.

1) We should be practicing space colonization on the moon. Which is roughly 250,000 miles away from the Earth. While is Mars at it's closest is 34796786 miles away from the Earth.
2) Less fuel for thrust is required on the moon. Making launches easier.

3)We could be mining Asteroids, refining on the Moon, and then float it back to Earth.

4) Aluminum Glass is strongest when made with less gravity. This right here is worth billions upon billions.

5) Having people adapt to living in lower gravity, having children, will they change? It would be fascinating to log any markers in evolution.

6)Because if I'm another country that goes into Space and America went on the Moon then I want to go on the fucking moon too!

I am sure there are more reasons to "GO BACK" to the moon.

Back as in what? After the Apollo 11 moon landing on 16th July 1969 other astronauts went back and walked the moon again during the Apollo 12 mission in 14th November 1969. Then again on 31st January 1971 during the Apollo 14 mission, this time bringing us the first colour images. Then on 26 July 1971 three astronauts spent 3 days on the moon researching geology in the Apollo 15 mission. Then again 16 April 1972 with the Apollo 16. And then once more with Apollo 17 mission on 7 December 1972.
After that budget cuts, end of the cold war, and more interest in the Skylab orbiting station lead to the ultimate end of manned lunar missions.
The only reason anyone is considering going back is to found an actual semi-permanent lunar base there, as most other things have already been done and are thus not necessary. But the technology isn't quite there yet.

This is actually happening sometime in the next few years. They're launching grabber drones alongside NASA probes to go grab near-earth objects, then pull them into a controlled fall into the ocean.

The reason we don't colonize the moon is simple- there's still a fuck ton of land on earth to develop for far cheaper.

>We could be mining Asteroids, refining on the Moon, and then float it back to Earth.
That's not how orbit works. We couldn't just "float" the stuff back to Earth. We'd have to accelerate it in the direction opposite to the direction in which it is orbiting in order to slow it down enough for it to fall back to Earth. That'd take fuel, which we'd have to ship to the moon, which would take more fuel.

>4) Aluminum Glass is strongest when made with less gravity. This right here is worth billions upon billions.
This isn't an argument for going back to the moon specifically. If the government wanted to make low-gravity aluminum glass, they could do it in orbit for far cheaper than they could on the moon, at an even lower gravity.

>5) Having people adapt to living in lower gravity, having children, will they change? It would be fascinating to log any markers in evolution.
"It would be cool to see what happens if we do X" does not justify such massive expenditure, especially to a government.

>>133617474
As I said, the technology is not there. Ferrying all the raw resources and building material to make an actual base and keep it safe and working would cost the US so much that even nogs would come out of their ratholes to protest why they ain't getting moar gibs.
There have been solutions proposed such as 3D printing of building materials from the moon rock itself, but it's all still in the making.
2nd problem is the sustainability. Even the ISS needs resupply runs on a regular basis, not to mention the astronauts need breaks too. Delivering shit all the way to the moon is much more difficult, risky, costly, slower, and more complex, and thus the ISS is considered a better solution.

Also, keep in mind that the US did not build the ISS, the Russians started that project.

Still waiting on you Collosal Faggots to post images of the apollo landers that were taken by another country. Circle them in mspaint. Let us see clearly what you think is the landing stage in those non-american images

(protip: you can't)

>>133618036
Deep space telescopes don't exactly provide a clear surface picture like regular telescopes do.
Most of the surface images that we have of other planets are either illustrations based on collected data, or pictures taken by passing probes.

There is enough helium-3 on the moon to use as clean energy that our energy problems are fixed.
I am not sure if it was fake or not. I go back and forth. My reasons for suspcting it is faked are different than most.
1) Van allen radiation belt. They likely would have been fired.
2) The thickness of the lunar lander shell; it was reportedly the thickness of a pop can.
You do not need much in space or on the moon to protect you, as there is not even an atmosphere to push against.
However, the moon DOES have gravity. And the g-forces of blasting off of the moon, would likely have squashed this pop can vessel like a...well like a pop can.
I dunno though.

The government, who runs the space program, is more concerned with cheap energy than clean energy.
After factoring in the fuel and construction costs to get mining equipment to the moon, to mine the helium, then to get it back to Earth, would it be more economically viable than simply putting an equivalent amount of money into processing some Earth-based fuel like oil or coal?

For now for sure. But we both know if there is money to be made, people will figure out a way. This is a large part of the reason for increased interest in space, the moon/mars.
China wants it. The future will probably be space wars; if we survive long enough.
Also I am not so sure...anymore I wonder whether we really have ANY clue about wht tech the elite really has.
I don't believe there are human colonies on the dark side of moon, like some claim...but I would not be surprised in the least either. That most of the space program is for public consumption, but we don't know wtf is going on.

To get to the moon you have to pass the Van Allen Belts. They are ionizing radiation. I have no clue how they got past those with obtaining cancer.

>>133600819
Non-reusable rockets, big enough to go to the moon, are too expensive to risk building and launching at a complete financial loss outside of cold-war-level tensions. It is for this precise reason that makes what spacex is doing so revolutionary and makes science trips to the moon so useless.

>>133600819
Did NASA ever take one of their shuttles for spin around the moon? I know they were not designed for that purpose but if a tincan can be piloted to the moon and back surely a flyby in the shuttle would have been easily achievable?

>>133619199
The reason most pics and vids of Earth don't have stars is because of exposure, just like when you aim a camera to a window from within a building.
If you make it focus on the outside, the inside will get so dark it will be pitch black, and the same applies on space, since all planets reflect a fuckload of light, so they have to choose between showing the Earth, or showing the stars.

What happened in that webm I think is that two streams mixed together and "fused".

They built pyramids in X000s BC. Nothing that tall built again for thousands of years.

It's because they did a huge thing with shitty technology not up to the task, but they did it anyway hang the cost.

>>133602133
That's why they sent two missions at the same time. One to see if it was viable at all, another with the actual astronauts who'd follow suit.
As it turned out the radiation was significant enough to warrant a lifetime supply of rad blockers, but not enough to kill them.

Because NASA has been on suicide watch since the two space shuttles exploded.

you should read "the tyranny of images" by Baudrillard: the pictures on the screen have never been real. This does not prove or disprove anything. The D-Day landing footage was shot on a california beach during a training exercise. Sometimes it's just not economical to record shit for fags like you to watch, should have studied harder and been an astronaut.

NASA constituted a little over 5% of the entire federal budget at the height of the Apollo Program. Today it's a little under 0.5%.

If you gave NASA ten times the funding and a political mandate to go to Mars in ten years, we'd be on Mars in ten years... but that's not going to happen. People don't rally around big flagship programs and public works projects the way they did 50, 75, 100 years ago, the funding and the political will just aren't there.
