Which Moon are they going to?

You know we have 2 right?

I'm very impressed if they are going to Cruithne.

The whole thing was probably filmed in Nevada.

Our big mistake was not building a permanent base on the moon, and a more reliable way to get men and materials there. That should of been the next logical step that stemmed from the Apollo program.

about time someone went becasue no one ever has so far the faked moon landings in the 60's which the uS achieved with less computing power than a modern calculator and even now with all this technology we can even get the trafic lights to work properly

So when we return to the Moon in 2018ish, and perhaps land close to one of the original Apollo sites, photograph and film the hell out of it, and possibly even return small samples from the spacecraft to see how they've reacted to 45 years on the Moon...

Will all of the conspiracy theorists commit mass sepaku? :rotfl:

STEED · 11-15-07, 02:44 PM

Why India?

Russia on the other hand will claim the Moon as there's and construct a tactical inter planetary nuclear first strike platform.

No. They'll claim those were carried onboard the spacecraft and planted there before the photos were taken. That's how those nutcases operate.

My question is will the indian and russian government have to pay for parking permits to land on the moon?

Last Apollo mission on the moon was in december of 1972.

Of course from a scientific pov that would have been the correct choice, but by late 1971 the political imperative was just not there anymore.
So what's the next best thing ? : the shuttle of course. :rotfl:
A version 1.0 hardware that has been flying more or less the last 30 years and has kept us in leo.
What a drawback if you think about it, even the Gemini missions went higher than the shuttle.

As far as im concerned, any exploration of space is a good thing. Just think of the possibilities that can open up from establishing a bit of a foothold in space!

Obviously though, the first trouble comes from what to do with the moon? One reason its meant to be so popular to try get there is there are immense reserves of valuable elements and i believe there is even some sort of extremely-high-energy source that can be mined. Personally though, i think it should be left like Antarctica, with nations staking a claim having a responsibility to the rest of the world to keep it in its pristine state. Policing that, of course, will be next to impossible....
