Do you believe in the moon landing

[Gigafly]

snca but regardless

 

[dataminedandproud]

yes to piss off neo-stalinists

 

[lifesucksthenyoudie]

If there was a chance the moon landing was fake, the Soviets/Russia would be seething about it to this day so I believe it happened
The live broadcast could be fake thoughever, but we've definitely been on the moon

 

[Chesnaught]

I have family who were involved in it, so yes, I do.

this is what i was about to say
the soviets wouldve made a huge fuss about it, considering they won pretty much everything else in the space race
it was a massive blow to their national image iirc
read the N1 wikipedia article if you want to have a laugh, literally every single one exploded

The family in question.

I am skeptical about it, I won't say it happened or didn't happen for sure. I just don't know anymore.

centrist sissy

It's suspicious and I'm leaning into believing it's all made up, but I don't care enough to actually read up on the subject so I'll just say I don't know

Yes, very humorous. Now please take your medications. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you, now, would we?

Shit seems fishy and the whole "we lost the technology!" just reeks of bullshit. I'll believe it when we revisit (which we haven't because you can't go through the fuckin DOME)

 

[LordThrembo]

white people made it to the moon. you have brown skin if you object to that

>yeah the organization with the budget of a small country's GDP just didn't bother keeping around schematics lol
>yeah the guy who knew how to build the rocket died
I can't tell which is funnier for a reply

It wasn't a singular guy, the metaphor isn't exact, as you obviously wouldn't have a full team building a single bike, and if you don't understand it, I can't make you.

White man marches on, we made it bros

Of course I understand it's a team that built a rocket, but that team had to design schematics for the rocket, instructions for other engineers and workers who were building it, basically making an IKEA manual for every step of the process at every point in manufacturing, there's no shot nasa didn't think to preserve schematics to a FUCKING ROCKET. I mean this is some shit lifted straight out of warhammer 40k

People often underestimate the amount of work and EXACT calculations that went into making all of this happen. It's not like you could keep a couple blueprints for this and have a new rocket ready to go in a year, not after this long, nor would there be any real reason to do so.

Put simply, we have the diagrams, we know the basics, but we don't have the same experts that we did, we don't have the same factories that created the parts used, and even if we built a perfect replica of the rocket we used back then, there's no guarantee that it would be good for anything. It would have to be exact, same weight, astronauts that weight exactly the same, and that also means using old, outdated technology. Why go to space with that? What would we gain from doing that? If they find a reason to go back, they'll be doing it with new stuff, and it will be expensive as hell, just like last time.
