The Saturn V was far harder to build. Remember when the Nazis first started ballistic missile development they couldn't even get the thing to fly out of Germany let alone the moon. The V-2 programme was also more expensive then the entire Manhattan project. Particle accelerators are basic as fuck and don't have to operate in high stress environments, this one just has a lot of bells and whistles.

Aside from the accelerating cavities which increase the energy 1000s of magnets are need to steer, focus and shape the beam as it travels along its orbit. To achieve this 1000s of diagnostics are required to keep track of what the beam is doing at every point around the ring. All this extra stuff in the line also creates "wakefields" which basically are undesired EM fields which impede the beam. In addition, a focussed beam does not want to stay focussed, which is fairly obvious as you have all these like charges in close proximity. These are effects that need to he combatted. I'm not even going to mention all the RF considerations like synchrotron tune and transition energy.

Depends on what you transmit through the atom. For electrons the atom is not transparent for visible light mostly not. Imagine that someone created a neutrino microscope. Everything would seem transparent when viewed through it.

I find it usually depends on the person explaining. Some people really suck at describing something they understand. They spend an hour talking, going off on unnecessary tangents, when another person could have summed it all up in 5min. Obviously some people are able to pay attention longer than others, and have a stronger knowledge base to work with, but the "story teller" is still the deciding factor on how well you can understand something.

Let me clarify. By peasant endeavor I do not mean that it is a simple task, but that doing said task is only glorified and dreamed about by peasants (that is, the uneducated low/middle class). There is nothing to be gained by building a rocket and going to the moon; it's a waste of money, especially for Universities.

One of the first ever integrated circuit-based computers had to be developed from scratch to serve as the Apollo guidance computer which told the lunar lander where to fucking land. "Space age technology" was literally coined from the advancement of technology that the Apollo program was responsible for.

>Working on components for satellites that can help to measure some type of phenomenon is a far better use of resources.

Yeah and where do you think all that came from? the 10+ years they spent working day and night on the Apollo program and its related systems. Thats where they actually discovered how to operate in space and what could and couldn't be done.

>> No.7482182

Your argument only justifies the first missions, carried out by NASA. It's great that they produced technology vital for further research into space. But why go back? What more can we gain by sending a rocket to the moon? And the lander tech could have been achieved without a manned flight, and then robotic tech would have been researched earlier.

It should also be said that the first missions were carried out by NASA, not Universities. Universities have nothing to gain by building rockets and trying to get to moon. Going to the moon in general won't be necessary until we develop a fusion technology and Helium-3 becomes needed.

How did the Earth form? We can't answer that and we've lived here literally for the entire lifespan of our species.

However, there are clues out in the universe. Was the moon once a part of the Earth? Well it was really difficult to send robots to analyze samples back when we were using slide rules to calculate orbital mechanics, and it was even harder to send robots to collect and return rocks, so we sent people.

Rosetta/Philae have been studying 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (a comet) for just over a year now. Philae even landed on the comet (several times). This is important because it is very unlikely that anything has touched this space rock since its formation. For a billion years it has sat alone and isolated. Understanding how this rock formed could answer questions about Earth's formation.

That's just a single question about a very small part of our universe scientists are trying to answer with these missions.

We understand very, very little.

Well, /sci/, do you think we are stagnating, or that we will only continue to improve exponentially? Do you think we'll even be alive to reach the singularity? Will we even become a type I civilization? Also, do you believe we live in an age where most of us will have access to life-extending technology so that we might see it all unfold?

Personally I think that's all too optimistic. I don't think we'll nuke ourselves off the face of the planet, but I think as resources become less available and shit we'll slowly decline.

Granted just going for the sake of going serves no purpose, but there are plenty of challenges still to be met by making missions to the moon. Long term habitation is the main reason to go. How to design and build habitation modules, how to create a base that can supply it's own basic needs like water, food, and electricity. How to do things like mineral extraction and dirt moving in low gravity environments. All of these are theoretical, all of them are necessary for a trip to Mars (estimates place it at 2 yr round trip minimum), and all of these are technologies which can be developed and refined by planning further trips to the moon. Yes we know how to get to the moon. Yes we know how to walk around on it, and yes we know how to leave when we are done, but there is still a lot to learn from the moon

No it isn't bullshit. This is one of the uses of the scanning tunneling microscope. Using quantum tunneling and by measuring the tunneling current of a probe (metal tip) over the surface of nanoparticles, one can map out the topography. See the tunneling current will vary depending on the probe surface distance.
