We all know there are conspiracies and coverups everywhere. All we are
asking is: could the trip to the moon be one of them?
To me, that's fascinating.

The cost of going to the moon is prohibitive. its one of the issues on
debate whether american tax payers will be able to pay for and/or will be
required to pay for another moon trip. Because think about it. why should
USA spend billions of dollars on a single trip to go to the moon?
To do what? Collect moon rocks?
It doesnt make sense to keep going to the moon to collect the same rock
samples. there is nothing new on the moon to justify repeated trips. Thats
what sampling is all about. pick samples from different areas and analyse
them. Most of the rocks on the moon are simply the same ones you get here
on
earth with a few exceptions. So it doesnt make good Financial sense to
have
continued moon missions.
Even Space shuttle missions are basically maintenanace missions of
existing
satelites, the space station and stuff like the hubble telescope &
whatever
else is up there. Now about solar radiation, the same radiation thats on
the
moon is the same radiation they are exposed to when doing space walks. As
i
write this the space shuttle endeavor is in space and they are putting up
an
external platform so they are gonna do quite a number of space walks. Dont
think since it was the 60s they were not brilliant. That error had
brilliant
minds. These guys were turned into geniuses by the NAZIs and like i
mentioned before Radiotion has been arounf for a loooooong time... Ask the
japanese of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Scientists of the early days did th
same
computations we do today. Math is Math. Those people coded in machine
language. Show me a programmer today who codes using machine language...
and
am not talking about Assembly Language.
So like i said you need to stop trying to prove that these guys didnt do
all
the stuff they did because it seems you really dont know much about the
road
map of the space program. A moon visit stopped being financially viable
since the 70's The only interest in the moon would now be to either build
a
space station there (which wont happen soon) or to do space tourism. So
unfortunately the answer to your moon visit dilema simply boils down to
lack
of Money. Remeber Nasa is tax payer funded.
All in all NASA has some serious Kick butt minds working for them you just
need to take a trip down to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and see
the
stuff they will let you handle.

Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Going to the moon
But Nasa was not selling us beliefs - they were trying to sell 'scientific
facts' to the human race....
A question - seeing as the moon has no atmosphere - can a human being on
first attempt in the 60s be able to survive the lately detected solar
radiation ? [no chimps sent prior, mind you]
What guarantee do we have that one wont be instantly microwaved and cooked
in those fancy silver suits ?
I like NASA, they have provided all these medical and technological break
throughs - But how come they are not attempting a moon landing nowadays ?
Its a valid question when you think about it...
