Did the moon landing really happen?

[Margo Martindale]

I in general believe it happened, but there are some things I've heard that give me some doubts:
-You can't see the lander or rover on the moon
-Apparently we have 'lost' the technology to go back to the moon (how the hell does that happen?)
-Some people say the movements of the astronauts look fake as if they were models pulled by string


Believers and non-believers, what are your thoughts?

 

[Gog & Magog]

Don't you fucking dare doubt the White Man's ingenuity. Nobody other than aryan people could have designed and built such a realistic film lot.

Where do you think Null is getting his cheese from now that he's back in America?

 

[Stephanie Bustcakes]

You can't see the lander or rover on the moon

The lander isn't on the moon because they had to use it get back to earth.

-Apparently we have 'lost' the technology to go back to the moon (how the hell does that happen?)

We didn't lose the technology to go to the moon. We do not have archives of the blueprints used to make some parts of the Saturn V rocket, so we can't recreate those parts exactly.

 

[MadStan]

Oh no, not another nut who thinks the moon is fake

 

[ADN_VIII]

-You can't see the lander or rover on the moon

So?

-Apparently we have 'lost' the technology to go back to the moon (how the hell does that happen?)

No. We lost the original blueprints for the Saturn V rockets, not the tech to get back to the moon. Plus, several other countries besides the US have been to the moon.

-Some people say the movements of the astronauts look fake as if they were models pulled by string

Some people say Elvis is still alive and working in a Dairy Queen. To address the issue, though, moving around in a space suit is *incredibly* difficult. The suit itself is heavy and bulky and impedes movement which is compounded by the significantly lower gravity of the lunar surface.

 

[Grub]

I don't think it's fake but it wouldn't surprise me if it came out some day that the first one was faked. Everything just worked out so perfectly for the perfect cold war PR. I've seen too much lying bullshit to fully trust anything big like that that goes too perfectly.

 

[Soup Sammiches]

The moon has never landed anywhere or we'd all be dead.

 

[Neodanthril]

There really isn't a reason to doubt that we did not go. Putting any particular alleged doubts aside, who stands to benefit from such a fabrication? This answer to this question is always really retarded.

And as a counterpoint nasa left a radio repeater on the moon with which you can bounce a signal off of us you know how to do ham radio stuff. And there's lots of math to prove the location of that it came from the moon etc.
I switched my conspiracy shit up, you can bounce a radio signal off the moon itself and then do math to prove that it is a certain distance away from the Earth, which is a counterfactual of dome sky theories

Moon landing and flat earth tartaria shit is just FUD to keep retards spinning in circles that don't ever interect with any real political stuff.

 

[Town Drunk]

I don't think it did, and I don't think it mattered if it did or not.

Reasons as to why not:

The Vann Allen belt, the computational power of computers at the time, the launchers ability to return from the moon to earth, (the moon has less gravity but it still has gravity), the fact we've never returned, and the Soviets failure.

Which is more likely? That the Government lied about something that can't be disproven to get one over on TSU, or that they pulled off the near impossible to get one over on TSU, even if lying was easier?

The Soviet Union may have fallen, but the people working on the lunar project were not idiots. In addition, even though they would not have been first, why didn't they also land on the moon? They had just as good of tech and scientists, and the willingness to sacrifice people to achieve this goal.

Again, this isn't a hill I'll die on/debate about, doesn't change my life in the slightest if it happened or not, and the US government has been caught lying about actual evil shit it's done, let alone cold war propaganda. I just find it interesting.

 

[peachlover669]

I think we did simply because russia isn't still trying to cope about it to this day, they accept that we won and that's proof enough.

 

[August Levasseur]

yeah

 

[TheNonRomanian]

Yes.

They tried to but their N1 rocket kept blowing up, lol. After the USA got there first, it just wouldn't have been worth the expense just to get 2nd place when the entire point of the space race was to prove they were better.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

Yes, because it'd funnier that way.

 

[Neodanthril]

the Soviets failure.

They did crash land a probe on the moon, which isn't manned but it is something.

The Soviet Union may have fallen, but the people working on the lunar project were not idiots. I

nazi germany was the first country to get something into outer space. Their rocket science and tech was decades ahead of everyone else. At the end of the war America was in possession of all or most of the rocket science Nazis. So America had more collective man hours of experience going into the project than the Russians.

Then there is the fact that Americans had long been masters of industry. Many major technical innovations in the fields of manufacturing and engineering of the 19th and 20th century came from Americans in America. OTOH, a the vast majority of manufacturing capability that existed in Russia at the end of the war literally came from America giving them factories that were depreciated.

That Russia made it as close of a race as it was is an achievement all on it's own as they were starting with significant handicaps.

 

[Hellwalker]

Did you know that the Moon is made of cheese?

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Which Moon Landing? Because there were several of them...

 

[Troonos]

Probably. It was an era of peak IQ and competence with America and Germany's (superior) top physics, engineering, and mathematical minds working together to do rocket science.

Now we're in an IQ slump and a competence crisis since the millennium, so I'm not surprised that we haven't replicated it.

 

[regalterry]

Does anyone here genuinely think that the Soviets/Russians or Chinese wouldn't have exposed the hoax to embarrass the US if the landings were indeed staged?

No, the real reason people doubt the Moon landings is that they can't reconcile the racially homogenous USA of the past with the mongrelized, dysgenic USA of the present. One could put a man on the Moon with computers weaker than many modern calculators, the other can't even tell you what a woman is.
