Cooke 2,066 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This is kind of sad. The youngest of them is now 85. What the fuck happened to space exploration? Do we need another cold war or something? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_walked_on_the_Moon Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,318 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Is there any reason for any government space program to go to the moon, at this point in time? I think the most important step is going to be building a legit space "dock" right outside of earth for refueling for trips to Mars. Link to post Share on other sites

The moon has more surface area than Africa, I'm sure there's more to see. And we have much better technology now. Link to post Share on other sites

We already have samples, so whatever improved technology we have.............we can use it on the samples down here. The most important thing about the Apollo missions was creating the methods for how to get to the Moon, how to land to land on the Moon, and then how to get back up to the Space module, and then how to return back to Earth. You should watch HBO's miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, its fantastic. You will find out that the things that Astronauts did on the moon is not even within the top 5 most interesting things about the Apollo missions. We need to aim for something that currently SEEMS impossible: Human Beings going to Mars, landing on Mars, and setting up a base on Mars, and being able to survive for extended periods of time on Mars.

LOL, you're an imbecile if you think its because the money went to limp-dicked bums like yourself. At one point during the 60's, the Apollo Space Program was costing the United States roughly 4.5% of the entire country's federal budget. They will devote that much money to NASA, again.
