/sci/ - Science & Math

Can you believe it's been 45 years?

Actually, no they could not. Not back then.

It was all CGI. If you look closely, you can see rendering artifacts.

It's easy to go to the moon. We had the rocket technology to do it, we had the life support technology to do it.

You can literally do the entire moon trip without a computer onboard. You just need a way to measure your current velocity with respect to earth and the moon.

>>6655368
which we can do with a calculator

>>6654857
how do you explain the fact that you can look up with a telescope and still see the landing site there?

>>6656030
Nice bait

>>6656030
I guess you have looked at it with a telescope personally then. Protip: you haven't. I tried to get a reading from the supposed laser reflector there and ... nothing.

The Chinese and Indians both have recently gone to the moon.
If the US didn't land then you can be sure as fuck that China would of shouted to the whole world about it being a fake.
They found the landing site and couldn't say shit.
You moon landing fakers are more narrow minded then televangelists

Wait, there are people who actually think the moon landing was fake?

Really?

>>6656095
A significant number.

>>6654857
What part of it do you want me to explain? It is indeed a quote by Bill Clinton. It's from his biography called My Life. What other information do you want?

>>6656095
Can you believe it?

Do they even know that there were more than one?
It's fucking retarded.

OP, >>>/x/

>>6656073
The chinese also slightly less recently faked going to the moon

Pretending the flag was there would just make it more credible

>>6654857
fuck Clinton
>>6655357
>>6656135
>>6656167
and fuck you too.

Today is the 45th anniversary of mankind's greatest technical accomplishment. You can follow along with a simulated "live" thread on the NASA Space Flight forums. It has brought a tear to my eye more than once.

Also, SpaceX is probably going to announce their own personal moon mission shortly, likely a manned free-return circumlunar flight using their Falcon Heavy and Dragon 2 capsule.

...and on the second Saturn V launch, the staff learned to park their cars farther from the launch pad.

just sayin'

GTFO

>>6656420
Is anyone willing to believe they faked the first moon landing to win the space race, but then actually landed on the moon in the later apollo missions?

I could buy that.

>>6656430
No.
Our government and people in it are too inept to perform such a grand conspiracy

>>6656430
An awful lot of effort was put in making it look authentic, what with making a rocket capable of putting something in orbit around the Moon and all. Rocketry was advanced enough to do it, life support technology was advanced enough to do it manned. Russia would've called them out on it had it not been real.

>>6656430
They actually landed on Mars. It's easier than the moon because there's an atmosphere for aerobraking.

The real astronauts never returned. They landed the Space Shuttle on Mars, took their props out of the cargo bay, did their little act, and died there. It was transmitted back to Earth and made to look like footage from the moon with Photoshop.

>>6656048
Learn to fucking aim then, because we've been using it to measure the moon/earth distance down to a centimeter for the past 45 years.

>>6656787
You can't be serious.

>>6656048

>I tried to get a reading from the supposed laser reflector there and ... nothing.

>I'm retarded, therefore we never went to the moon

>>6656787

>They actually landed on Mars. It's easier than the moon because there's an atmosphere for aerobraking.

It's also a significantly higher delta-V and an incredibly thin, virtually non-existent atmosphere. Pro-tip: the space shuttle can't maneuver on RCS forever, for a landing it needs an atmosphere for control surfaces.

>>6654857
Clinton isnt saying he believes in the moon landing hoax theory, he is saying that the old man was ahead of his time in his cynism and mistrust of government and mass media.

Clinton would know better too. As a Washington insider, he has seen all the lies and dirty tricks first hand. You should read between the lines here, this is as close to an admission of Washington's mass deceit from an absolute elitist politician that you will ever come.

>>6657095
*as you will ever come.

>>6657095
This.
/thread

we are a species first used an atomic bomb then one fella (enrico fermi) said, hey i bet i can control this reaction if i build a nuclear reactor and produce energy out of it. there probably isn't much i don't understand about it's principles and there's nothing that can go wrong.

you picture yourself designing and building the first nuclear reactor after seeing an atomic bomb explosion.

if the technology is available, we do whatever is possible to do with it

>>6657102
yeah except for this little thing called facts, and in this case, facts say you are full of shit (big surprise).

we built a nuclear reactor first. then the bomb.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Pile-1

facts. you should try them some time.

>>6657119
>facts. you should try them some time.
#fuckingrekt

>>6657119
this doesn't change anything
as if nuclear reactors stopped being built after that

>>6657125
i'm not even sure what your point fucking IS in this specific thread about clinton and the moon landing hoax, but you haven't got a fucking leg to stand on if you come out swinging with horse shit like 'enrico fermi built the first nuclear reactor after witnessing the atomic bomb.'

>>6657129
my point stands you retard even if thats not correct

im saying we do it if it's possible no matter how dangerous it looks
we went to space as soon as it is poosible
we use X rays to see into people
we use gamma knife to cut out tumors
we inject positron emitting particles to our bloodstream to get a PET scan
we built zeppelins to fly with hydrogen gas u know how it turned out
we build tevatrons to collide particles near light-speed
i bet we would employ black holes in industry if we could produce them

that's my point about moon landing not being a hoax

>>6657134
all of those things are hoaxes, faggot.

>>6657134
Maybe he just doesn't appreciate people spouting BS on /sci/ as if it were fact? I know I don't. Want to deceive yourself, fine, just keep us out of it.

>>6657139
fine, be like that
you are one of those pathetic people who dwells on the numbers instead of the idea, good luck with your autism medication

>>6657146
but your ideas are based in bullshit... good luck with bullshitting everybody all the time, for a greater good or not. let us know how that turns out for ya..

>>6657156
every single one of those is true xcept the fermi one
good luck with your learning disability

>>6657146
Nigguh this is board dedicated to science, you know the stuff about numbers and shit so don't get assblasted when someone calls you out after going full popsci news article.
Just some friendly advice.

>>6654857
Bill Clinton was a coward & a fraud, that sold manufacturing jobs to China in exchange for clearing the national debt & kickbacks from Sam Walton. Who passed a bill to allow banking institutions to charge more than 20% interest & create variable interest rates. All of which have caused irreparable damage to our economy and only benefited the 1%. Clinton got into office by making big promises like the legalization of cannabis, posing as a democrat and lied under oath. He's a fucking fraud & worse that Carter & Nixon combined.

The truth needs no defense. They went.
