    We did go but it was boring, no atmosphere.

    FYI

    Today during the White House briefing, press secretary Psaki said Biden supports NASA's Artemis program to send astronauts back to the moon.

    In Greek mythology, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo.

    In Roman mythology, Artemis is called Diana and Apollo is still called Apollo.

    One of the main reasons the USA went to the moon was because we were in a cold war "space race" with Russian Soviets.

    For your crazy "moon hoax" conspiracy theory to be true, governments and scientists around the world , including the USA's cold war Russian Soviet adversaries would have to be part of the so-called, "hoax"

    After the USA's first moon landing, my [NASA scientist] brother was interviewed by Russians [who were impressed he could speak with them freely.]

    As my brother also told me at the time, neither the USA nor the USSR would have had such an advanced space program without the foundation of Third Reich German science/scientists!

    No anomolies exist which prove they never went and everyone reading all of your posts knows you have been proven wrong and proven MASSIVELY

    Said the buffoon who says this is a bubble:-

    Debunking The Apollo Moon Hoax (debunking-a-moron.blogspot.com)

    6. Credibility Test: "This calls for a credibility test. XXXXXXX maintains that the Chinese spacewalk was real and not faked in a water tank. Do you agree with him?

    This is where the spammer uses one of his pre-determined idiotic conspiracies or erroneous claims as the yardstick for a credibility test. He is the arbitrator of its provenance therefore anyone who disagrees with it can now be referred to as "discredited" and all their rebuttal can be ignored.

    Back around 1998 or so, an enormous asteroid was discovered heading toward earth - would arrive in about 30 years. After a short time it seems people forgot about it. I guess that's good - so people would not panic. But I suspect NASA, Elon and others are working behind the scenes. Also, any talk of going to the moon would not help resolve imminent panic unless Elon can build a rocket to carry billions of people. A better suggestion, if you don't mind, might be to capture the asteroid. Divert its course slightly and tie a 62000 mile long tether to it to make the space elevator.

    It could be just a case of been there and done that.

    I did not know, and frankly have my doubts, that we had reached "the deepest part of the ocean," ever. Also, this is not a single spot, for practical purposes. That is, there are substantial areas, around the world, where the ocean goes down at least five miles. As I said, I do not believe that we have ever reached any of these.

    Certainly, we've reached the ocean floor, at lesser depths-- probably even at the average ocean depth. But this is quite another thing, from the bottoms of the deepest ocean trenches.
    Just saying.

    You are misinformed: another mission to the moon is scheduled, or at least the near-term objective.

    The simplest explanation as to why we hadn't continued going back, all this time, is that there had not been much reason to. IOW, it would have been not only a pointless waste of resources, but an additional risk to astronauts, to be that far away from Earth, in exchange for no benefit.

    Because the exhaust and thrust were not enough to make a crater.

    It was a low powered engine which was all that was needed with the moons weaker gravity

    You mean facts.

    Do you comprehend that the moon has much weaker gravity?

    The surface has a thin air of dust. The weak thrust of the engines would not make a crater it is that simple and factual.

    Deal with it

    The prime directive for any government agency is to get funded from year to year. Congress provides funding that is then appropriated per annual budget submissions to OMB. If doing the same thing over and over with no great leap forward gets an agency funding - well there it is.

    ~ Going to the Moon does not further the USA agenda of totalitarian government. Pending Co2 catastrophe, Covid-19 "planned pandemic" lockdowns and mandates, systemic racism, open borders are more important. Scare the people and dumb them down simultaneously is more important .

    In fact I did but unliek you I was able to apply critical thinking skilsl and demonstrate factual evidence disproving it

    Lunar landing hoax claimants have been cluttering up the internet with stupidity since before the turn of the century. The imbecile Bill Kaysing began this moronic claim with amongst others his idiotic observation about missing stars. The idea that there should be a blast crater relies on a number of very key things that these internet clowns do not comprehend.

    The lunar regolith has, in many places, a thin layer of loose fine dust from meteorite fragmentation, but beneath this loose layer, quite often, a progressively harder and very tightly compacted layer. The Apollo teams had to use drills in a number of cases, to gain access to lower levels of lunar material for analysis. In addition to this notable feature was the lightweight nature of the Lunar module with the fuel being almost empty(descent stage) and its extremely large engine nozzle which was fully throttleable.

    The weight of the full Lunar Module without its descent propellant was about 3000lbs on the lunar surface. Its engine bell 60 inches across(11,000 square inches of thrust). The actual thrust needed to settle it on the surface per square inch was very small, so whilst 3,000lbs of thrust sounds immense, spread across 11,000 square inches on a plume that expanded massively in a vacuum, meant that it was not some ultra powerful engine that would carve out a blast crater.

    Now, that aside, here comes the stupid part. NASA instructed the astronauts to take images under the lunar landers. Armstrong commented on the lack of a significant crater whilst he was on the Moon. In what world of idiotic conspiracy batshit, does NASA fail to bother digging out a blast crater after showing images for it and having first ever moonwalker talk about the damn thing!

    Onto the moron "Steve the Chemist" with his big "ahaaah" moment comparing the Morpheus lander to the Lunar Module. The Morpheus engine with 4,200lb of thrust exiting through an opening of around 12 inches, compared to 3,000lb of Apollo through 5ft of engine bell.

    Same correction as other post(silly mistake with diameter instead of radius) - 11,000 square inches should be just under 3000 square inches. It equates to about 1 psi at the exit of the engine bell.
