I can say that you are wrong about Van Allen belt radiation, they planned an orbit that passed through the less radioactive zone, moreover this radiation is dangerous only after a very long time (many days or even months) spent in it and apollo astronauts stayed something like one hour (i can't remember exactly) in the less radioactive zone of Van Allen belt.

They're not computers. That's the mission control room. The consoles in there were connected to computers, communication systems, sensors, cameras, etc. elsewhere. Notice that they've all got desk space for papers, rather than conventional keyboards.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_L68oHjgdQ

However, transistor computers were standard before the Apollo Program started, and minicomputers were available (appliance-computers the size of a fridge or a desk, rather than taking up a room).

NASA used five standard IBM System/360 mainframes in the Real Time Computing Complex for the Apollo 11 mission. I believe they were all the J75 model, 32-bit computers with 1 megabyte of core memory (like RAM) each, and capable of about 1 million instructions per second. ~30 mb hard drives were available, and ~40 mb reel-to-reel tapes (many of which could be simultaneously connected to a single computer and kept reading, writing, or seeking). These were new in 1966, so about the newest thing that was practical to have built a highly complex system on top of by 1969. One was used to receive, process, and dispatch all of the data from the spacecraft to the control room.

Teletype machines were a standard interactive interface for computers in the first half of the 1960s. That's basically an electric typewriter that can send your keypresses to the computer, and print responses on the paper for you to read. The technology for this was already old from telegraph systems even when vacuum tube computers were invented.

Off-the-shelf video terminals were brand new technology during the Apollo missions. In the control room, NASA used custom consoles based on more mature technology, like indicator lights and mechanical counters, rather than the typical modern approach of doing things in software. Their arrangements for video displays were complex, with lots of custom hardware.

As I watch this, I'm starting to realize how NASA can carry on spending so much money to do so little.

If you look back at this insanity (which at the bottom of things, let's remember, was all to manage a week-long trip for three men) as your starting point, it's hard to imagine ever trimming it down to some reasonable multiple of fuel costs. You have to start over from first principles, abandon what you've very expensively learned about "how to do it".

I actually believe it's possible that the manned landings were faked even though NASA developed the capability of doing them with a reasonable probability of success, for the simple reason that a public failure and loss of crew would be unacceptable.

The missions had, after all, no practical purpose but to give the appearance of having done them. Many things could have gone wrong, which would have turned the propaganda exercise into a national humiliation. Even the majority of people working on the project could have been deceived. Only a small core of people, perhaps a few hundred, would have to know the truth.

Apollo 13 was a dramatic and impressive abort, not an abject failure, and it came after two successful moon landings. Yeah, it's exactly the kind of hiccup you'd throw in to make the whole thing seem more real without hurting the impressiveness of the program. Hollywood made a movie out of it later because it plays out like perfectly scripted drama.

Businesses fake this sort of screw-up with new clients sometimes to impress them with their (apparent) ability and eagerness to fix problems that arise.

Anyway, it's not that I believe the moon landings were faked, it's that I believe it's possible they were, without believing they didn't have the technology to actually do it. The motive is there (to ensure success), and it played out in a way consistent with how they'd do it.

>>8890330
You can't possibly believe that the Apollo missions had some practical purpose outside of having people believe that the USA had accomplished them.

Claims that the moon landings were faked resonate because on a deeper level it was all fake regardless of whether they actually did it: just a propaganda exercise / pork program. It wasn't about science, or exploration, or opening a new frontier. It was about embarassing the Russians and silencing the critics of capitalism. It was only about appearances and paychecks.

If you're going to actually build a rocket powerful enough to push the required amount of payload to the moon, build actual LEMs and CSMs and put them on top of it, and then successfully launch 7 of them, there really isn't a whole lot left that would make faking it worthwhile.

How about making it work?

Building a rocket that looks big enough is a different and far easier thing from building a rocket actually capable enough. Putting together a plausible spacecraft is a different and far easier thing from making one that actually works on the first try.

Imagine the humiliation for America if they tried and failed, as the Soviets did.

>other than there being some other fundamental obstacle to getting there, like the Van Allen belts or solar radiation, but we know that no such obstacles exist.
We know solar radiation makes surviving the trip a crapshoot. The doses after a solar flare would be enough to cause acute radiation sickness, never mind cancer.

As for the Van Allen belts, they are certainly an obstacle and to flatly deny that they pose one is not putting yourself on the side of rational argument.

Not the same as failing on an actual trip to the moon.

Furthermore, this sheds considerable doubt on the competence of NASA to have pulled off half a dozen moon landings without losing a single crew in space. This kind of accident would be quite likely in a hoax program: building a real fake capsule, doing real fake tests on the ground, so even most of the people working on it could believe it was real, but not being competent enough to even get through them without killing some people.

Nobody's done it not for lack of ability to develop and build a large launch vehicle, but because it's extremely expensive unless you have a cheap means of putting things into space.

We did it the first time for two reasons; we were in a pissing contest with the Soviets, and we knew that the soviets wanted to actually colonize the Moon, at least in a limited sense. They wanted to use it as a strategic foothold in space. they ended up not doing it because we got there first and their economy was getting too strained as it was, plus the strategic element evaporated when the option of just launching so many nukes that they'd be impossible to stop became plausible.

We stopped going prematurely (several Apollo missions were scrapped, but the program would've been completed by the late 1970's) because the Soviets dropped out, meaning the threat aspect was gone, and Nixon hated the Apollo program. Nixon wanted his own legacy in space flight to outshine Kennedy's, so he tried to do the Space shuttle as a means of pleasing the public (who didn't like how much money Apollo was eating), as well as framing himself as a savvy business man who could bring space down to the common man rather than remain something lofty only the best of the best could possible hope to be involved with. Unfortunately the Space Shuttle we got was a clusterfuck of conflicting design requirements and accomplished none of those things.

>> No.8892564

>>8892425
Space Shuttle couldn't go any higher than low Earth orbit. The Van Allen belts start a few thousand km up, the Shuttle never went anywhere near them, because it didn't have enough deltaV.

Apollo didnt go through the belts by the way, it went around them. They're belt after all, not shells. A sufficiently inclined orbit will have you loop up and over as you increase in altitude, then come back underneath as you decrease in altitude towards periapsis. When the Apollo missions launched they went onto an inclined parking orbit for a short time then boosted onto a highly elliptical Moon-intercept trajectory, passing far outside the Van Allen belts on the way.

As for solar storms, the fact is that the astronauts were protected simply by a pair of firmly crossed fingers, because the spacecraft could not shield from something like that unless it was redesigned to be several times heavier (which was not an option), and predicting a solar storm is pretty much not possible.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of rocketry, the fuels involved, weight of the materials used, thrust generated by fuel being burned at the rates observed during the launches etc etc, can do the math for themselves, and the Saturn V's capabilities match exactly what they should be. If you don't have the ability to figure that kind of thing out yourself, fair enough, but then you should realise you're not in any position to comment on what the Saturn V could do.

One of the more tiresome examples of hoaxers simply not caring to learn anything about the history of spaceflight. We have been more than capable of going back to the moon the whole time, providing somebody decided to build a rocket big enough. We simply have decided not to, because it is absurdly expensive and is mostly pointless as the Moon is a barren rock.

Yeah, there's increased radiation in the Van Allen belts and you probably don't want to hang out in them longer than you have to. But they're in no way an impassable obstacle on the way to the moon. The dosage is very well understood and is not more than getting an x-ray or something similar.

>Are you claiming that anyone who doubts the moon landings necessarily also denies that the shuttle flew?

No, I'm pointing out that your claim that public outcry due to a moon mission failure would be so bad as to make faking it a better option, is invalidated by the fact that NASA has already had 3 very public and very embarrassing mission failures that resulted in multiple loss of life. What would make the Moon mission somehow different in a significant enough way that would have NASA decide staging the events would be a better option?

The Saturn V, for all its power and complexity, is actually a rather simple vehicle when compared to the Shuttle, something that Shuttle proponents bizarrely tote as something good. The Saturn V and Apollo stack had no large, exposed, and extremely delicate thermal protection system, and no fragile insulating foam to break off and damage said thermal protection system. All of the Saturn V+Apollo engines were either pressure fed or used gas generators, two of the most simple rocket engine cycles we've built. By contrast, the Space Shuttle used the RS-25, one of the most complex and delicate fuel-rich staged combustion engines ever designed, and two 4 segment solid boosters which could not be shut down once fired and which produced violent vibrations. The Space Shuttle had to be carefully optimized to within a razors edge of materials technology in order to fly with enough margin to have any payload at all inside the orbiter, because of the demands of reusability.

Due to these and many other reasons I am more surprised hat we didn't see more Shuttle failures, not that we didn't see more Saturn V failures. That's not to say the Saturn V didn't have its own rocky start; One of the unmanned test flights shook so violently that there were concerns that the astronauts would be seriously injured during launch, and another had two of the second stage engines shut down because of a pump anomaly and a computer malfunction.

'Hopping over the belts' requires a highly inclined trajectory, which is fine for going to the Moon but can mess up interplanetary encounters. Going to Mars would require either taking an inclined trajectory over the belts, then performing an expensive course correction to get onto a Mars-transfer orbit, using an inclined trajectory to rendezvous with a spacecraft waiting in high Earth orbit or Lunar orbit which would then depart for Mars, or by saying fuck it, packing enough radiation shielding to make the belts a non-issue, then plow through them in an hour on a direct Mars transfer trajectory. The third option would actually be the cheapest and least expensive, as it would require the least mass (course corrections of a large spacecraft take lots of fuel, assembling things in space is expensive and requires multiple launches and rendezvous). Shielding astronauts from the belts would require their habitation module to have a radiation storm shelter, essentially a double walled closet, with the walls full of water, surrounded by their food/clothes/etc, and located in the center of the habitat, maximizing the amount of matter between themselves and outside. Outfit the shelter to be a sleeping area and the astronauts don't even need to be awake during their entire transit through the belts.

The Apollo Program was a similar clusterfuck.

What was the problem with the shuttle? Above all else, it was too expensive. They didn't develop *practical* reusability. All they could do was reuse it to say they had reused it. They couldn't increase launch rates, reduce costs, or make spaceflight routine or available to more people.

What was the problem with Apollo? Same deal. Too expensive. They didn't develop *practical* transporation to the moon. All they could do was land men on the moon to say they had landed men on the moon. They couldn't set up a base, they couldn't mine resources, they couldn't use it as a staging area for more ambitious missions.

Space nerds today will talk like Apollo was great and the shuttle was a failure, and "Wow, why can't NASA be like it was in the Apollo era?", but back then, most adults recognized how hollow it was to strain the resources of the richest nation on Earth just to plant a flag on the moon.

The difference is that no one thought the Saturn V was going to be cheap, they knew going in that it was just they best they could do at the time and it would get people on the Moon within the decade.

Everyone knew and were told that the Shuttle was going to revolutionize space travel, and all it did was make it more expensive and entrench the idea that space-planes must make sense. It also killed more people than any other launch system, which was nice, and it barely changed for the 30 years it was flying.

Before it was canceled, the Apollo program was looking into diversifying its rocket lineup in order to provide launch services to a broader range of payload masses, as well as redesign hardware to make it faster and cheaper to manufacture. They wanted the Saturn V family to get cheaper and for private industry to get a foothold in space activities, but Nixon canceled everything and essentially told them to make a space truck, and it didn't work.

You can watch it lift off, but you need NASA's resources to track it into space and see how it was performing. This was the 1960s. The ability to observe what was happening was very limited, except through what NASA was releasing.

Knowing things like the rocket equation and being able to watch it lift off wouldn't get you far.

You know what else didn't exist outside of NASA, and had to be developed especially for the Apollo Program? About a thousand things, which would all seem grossly implausible if NASA didn't share how they did them.

Take Saturn V, for instance. A rocket that can throw nearly 50 tonnes to TLI. Nobody else had that in the 1960s. In fact, nobody else has ever had that. Nobody else has ever had half that.

How about the Apollo Guidance Computer? Computers based on integrated circuits did not exist. Nobody had a 70 lb., 2 MHz, briefcase-size portable computer with 4k RAM and 74k ROM. NASA built the first one, just for Apollo.

You keep looking in, and you find more and more things that nobody else had.

Look at all the crazy custom video shit NASA had for its control room:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_L68oHjgdQ

They absolutely could have done the recording and playback with a custom hardware setup, using a bank of IBM tape drives, as many in parallel as they needed. There's no reason they'd have to use discs. Discs are for rapid seeking, for reading and writing a little here, then a little there. Tapes had much higher capacities, and there was no need to jump around back and forth: they recorded in one continuous write, then they played back in one continuous read.

Okay, it was impossible to fake the Moon landings in 1969 and onward because data storage and playback technology at the time would have made this completely infeasible and improvements to such technology of the scale required could not be achieved in the time frame they had. It was in fact technologically easier to actually go to the Moon, because even inefficient rockets can do big things if the rocket itself is big enough to overcome those inefficiencies. Sea dragon is a good example of a rocket that goes for size rather than efficiency, to the extreme.

That's not how it played out with Constellation. It wasn't just too expensive, the schedule also kept getting pushed back. The status as of cancellation in 2010 was that they couldn't have Ares V flying before the mid-2020s.

Remember, Saturn V's basic design was settled in 1962 and it flew in 1967. That's with 1960s tech and very little experience designing rockets.

Developing the necessary video recording/playback equipment would have been trivial compared to the rest of the Apollo Program.

I'm sure aerospace companies would love to provide their services to go and build a moon base, but they know that's just not reasonable on NASA's budget. ISS is there because of billions and billions of taxpayer dollars and decades of planning and building up support. They were able to do that because the public considered it of scientific value.

There just doesn't seem to be any way that a moon base provides so much more benefit than an orbital station that it would justify the hundreds of billions of dollars it would require to make it. Taxpayers would never allow it.

You need to realise that the Apollo program was a freak event. It was a country deciding to just write a blank check and throw a literal army of engineers and scientists at a problem to plant a flag on a rock, just to show they could.

The guy who made the "they didn't have the tech to fake it" argument just said there was no off-the-shelf tech for it, and handwaved away the possibility of custom hardware with, "But don't you guys think Apollo-era NASA was incompetent with electronics, a hur hur hur?"

Stop being a monkey. I obviously meant those are the only times when they needed to keep up with real-time demands, such as camera input and replaying for broadcast, not that they didn't need to record at higher frame-rates than usual (which is still a real-time problem).

>Which are much harder to fake, because you have to bank on the facade not slipping even for a moment because millions of people will instantly see it and recognize the fakery.
There are many things which look odd and implausible, which have been pointed out as flaws and slips, but most people dismiss them or rationalize them away, and easily accept whatever excuses they are given, even if they don't understand them.

First of all, this is not an inevitable consequence of using film, rather it's a consequence of cost sensitivity, allowing the flaws to occur because it's expensive to avoid them.

Secondly, they wouldn't have been showing people the film itself. They were only broadcasting noisy standard-definition TV signals, about 440X480 (speaking of the later, higher-quality broadcasts, the initial slow-scan signals were even more crude). They only had to clean things up enough to look good at this low resolution and signal quality.

For instance, you can split the image twice, record on four films, duplicate the best or discard the worst, and then during playback, run it through some electronics which let the three or five sources "vote" on what the correct value should be for each pixel.

And in fact, this whole, "The technology didn't exist." argument is insane. NASA recorded the broadcasts on analog magnetic tape:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes

Video tape was a mature technology by the mid-50s.

Does anyone seriously want to argue that, with the rapid pace of improvement in technologies, by 1969 an important government project couldn't have developed the ability to speed up the frame rate of the existing video recording technology by a small factor?

I'm pretty sure anybody would admit that it's not a total impossibility that it was faked. You can always postulate some secret ahead-of-its-time filmmaking technology that the government had, or legions of editors painstakingly removing every trace of film artifacts and fakery, or whatever.

The problem is that at that point you're no longer looking at the question objectively and simply weighing the balance of evidence. You've just decided that it was fake and are now looking for any way you can to make that be the case.

It makes far more sense to just conclude they actually did it, as there is no reason they couldn't have done it, and no reason to think they didn't do it.

They did try, though.They flew orbital missions with an unmanned lunar lander, running it through maneuvers that would be used in a landing, just like the US did.

Their N-1 rocket, designed by S. Korolev to get an Apollo-style LOR mission to the moon, was hampered by needing 30 engines in the 1st stage (they did not have the ability to make huge engines such as the Saturn V used), creating all sorts of issues with interactions between engines and way too many opportunities for failure -- all this compounded by their lacking the ability to test-fire the engines as a unit. (They lacked a big enough test stand, and the Soviet government would not pay for having one built fast enough to be useful. This meant that solving interaction problems was all but impossible.) On top of that, budget and time restraints (dealing with 30 engines) meant they could not run in all the engines before use -- they had to randomly test a sample of them and hope for the best.

So every N-1 launch blew up, ad it was never man-rated.

Korolev maybe could have found a way to make it work, but he died before the first N-1 launch.

An effort was made to adapt the new Soyuz vehicle for a one-man circumnavigation mission, to beat Apollo to that goal and then claim that was what counted, landing was not needed. But they had issues with a couple of unmanned test mission, with the capsule failing to reach the moon or not returning to Earth safely. Then Apollo 8 beat them to that, so the plan was abandoned.

In the end, they launched an unmanned probe simultaneous with the Apollo 11 mission, designed to bring home a soil sample while 11 was still on the moon, and claim that THAT was the first, manned missions were not necessary. That Luna probe crashed while attempting a landing.

So the Soviets mothballed their lunar hardware and pretended they were never in the race, and concentrated on LEO space stations and such, where they had much more success.

None of the transmissions between Earth and the spacecraft were encrypted. Any idiot with a HAM radio could listen in. Any group of people with access to 4 HAM radios spread out over a wide area could even triangulate where the vehicle was.

So basically, when you say the Apollo landings never happened, that the Soviets were so stupid that they never thought of this over the entire 4 years we were flying missions to the Moon. It would be trivial for them to do. Don't give me that tired "food aid" bullshit either, the Soviets weren't the only ones who would've loved to make the US look bad. China could've done it too. Hell, anti-government Americans could've done it.

They were bouncing radio waves off the moon in the 40s.

Even if that wasn't an option, landing a transmitter on the moon would have been far easier than pulling off six manned landings without losing a single crew. (and no, the "Apollo 1" fire on the ground doesn't count, that just demonstrates a level of incompetence inconsistent with their later claimed performance)

>> No.8895482

First of all, the radio waves they were bouncing off the Moon were radar; they contained no data.

Second of all, any transmission strong enough to make the round trip and still be detectable would be easily detected on Earth too. It'd be pretty apparent they were doing that.

They need one anyway. Solar flares send out bursts of protons that hit everything in deep space a few times per year, with sufficient intensity to cause acute radiation sickness in something as thinly-shielded as the Apollo capsule.

In the Apollo missions, they just crossed their fingers and hoped there wouldn't be one during their week in space.

The obvious way to do it is to make a fort out of your supplies and waste, and huddle in it during intense radiation events. You need a bunch of food, water, CO2-scrubbing/O2-replacing supplies, etc. anyway and that's all suitable for shielding. No need for extra mass specifically for a shelter.

Here's a picture taken from ~1 million km away by the DISCOVR spacecraft. The entire Earth was captured in frame due to the distance, the spacecraft took four images (one each in red, green, and blue, and one black and white for detail) which were overlaid into one full color image. Why didn't it just take one full color image like yo may expect? Color sensitive photoreceptors in cameras get chewed up by cosmic rays and other high energy radiation in deep space. A short mission like Apollo can carry cameras that can see in color but for a satellite meant to park in one spot in deep space for years at a time they aren't an option. The camera can take full color photos by taking a black and white image, then a series of images with all color wavelengths except one blocked out, therefore only picking up either blue or green or red light. That color information gets applied to the black and white photo and viola, full color image as real as any digital camera would take.

The first Lunar meteorite was recognised in 1982, 13 years after the first Apollo samples. The total mass of confirmed Lunar Meteorites ever found is 46 kilograms, drastically short of the sample recovered by the Apollo astronauts.

All the Moon landings were in geologically similar landing sites, whereas Lunar meteorites show a random sample of all different types of Moon geology, meaning only a small sample of the entire population of Moon rocks ever recovered could be used as Apollo hoax rocks.

I said we can take color pictures from the Moon and in space. What we can't do is design a full color camera that can survive years of being in space without heavy shielding. The fact that it takes months or years is important, no Apollo mission lasted long enough for the radiation to harm the cameras. However, if we stuck those cameras on the moon for a year, they'd be fucked. The color receptors would have all been fried and only the black and white ones would be left, except since the chip had to fit 3 color receptors for every black and white one, your camera now has bad resolution.

This is simple photography shit, man. As for computer generated, if you or I take a picture of anything using a digital camera, the image is 100% computer generated, because it's a string of binary code sent from the receptors to an electronic storage medium, which is then read and interpreted by a program which display that information on your computer screen. Using color filters is standard photography also. Combining three color channels on top of one HD black and white photo isn't inventing anything from thin air.

I don't think there's really any need to explain it, since the idea that the astronauts didn't die and then simply continued their lives using the same names and not a single person noticed, is quite obviously absurd and impossible. It doesn;t really matter how unlikely something might seem to be a coincidence if the alternative is clearly impossible to anyone with the intellect of a 5 year old.

Having said that, it isn't even that incredible a coincidence, a couple of the people look similar but not identical.

>several thousand pounds of thrust can't even make a small hole in the lunar surface

No crater should be expected. The 10,000-pound thrust Descent Propulsion System was throttled very far down during the final landing. The Lunar Module was no longer quickly decelerating, so the descent engine only had to support the lander's own weight, which was lessened by the Moon's gravity and by the near exhaustion of the descent propellants. At landing, the engine thrust divided by the nozzle exit area is only about 10 kilopascals (1.5 PSI). Beyond the engine nozzle, the plume spreads, and the pressure drops very quickly. Rocket exhaust gasses expand much more quickly after leaving the engine nozzle in a vacuum than in an atmosphere. The effect of an atmosphere on rocket plumes can be easily seen in launches from Earth; as the rocket rises through the thinning atmosphere, the exhaust plumes broaden very noticeably.

>> No.8898636

>>8898633

To lessen this, rocket engines made for vacuums have longer bells than those made for use on Earth, but they still cannot stop this spreading. The lander's exhaust gasses, therefore, expanded quickly well beyond the landing site. The descent engines did scatter a lot of very fine surface dust as seen in 16mm movies of each landing, and many mission commanders spoke of its effect on visibility. The landers were generally moving horizontally as well as vertically, and photos do show scouring of the surface along the final descent path. Finally, the lunar regolith is very compact below its surface dust layer, making it impossible for the descent engine to blast out a "crater". A blast crater was measured under the Apollo 11 lander using shadow lengths of the descent engine bell and estimates of the amount that the landing gear had compressed and how deep the lander footpads had pressed into the lunar surface and it was found that the engine had eroded between 4 and 6 inches of regolith out from underneath the engine bell during the final descent and landing.

Yo, people noticed. Hence the image.

Anyway, they didn't "simply continue their lives". Some changed their names, others kept their names but changed everything else about their lives. Keeping the name isn't as ridiculous a move as you might think. Changing your name is hard, you're likely to respond to your original name, even slip up and introduce yourself wrong in an unguarded moment. Look at how willing most people are to dismiss the same name and highly similar appearance. They wouldn't dismiss mess-ups where they're living under a different name but respond to the dead astronaut's name.

>what was the point
That's not really helping the "the moon landings were real" side, because if you assume Mercury and Gemini were pointless without Apollo, you have to ask what makes Apollo non-pointless.

I'm here representing the view that there was clearly a significant element of fraud in Apollo, starting from the stated motives, and the real question is how much. It would certainly have made sense to fake the first landing, if they thought it was more likely that they could get away with it than to succeed in doing it for real, because regardless of all the high-minded talk about exploration, science, and the glorious future of all mankind, the true motive was to be seen beating the Soviets to it, thereby humiliating them, discrediting socialism, and propping up support for the American establishment.

Do you remember the crazy deceptive campaigns of WW2? Apollo was an act of war, it was an attempt to defeat an enemy, and successful deception would have been as effective for this purpose as real accomplishment. Under these circumstances, you need to look hard, and critically, at the evidence.

You can't just depend on occam's razor where intentional human deception is involved, because skilled deceivers take advantage of that. You can't just dismiss a whole side of the argument because you hear a bad case made, much less because someone doesn't have an answer for tangentially-related questions.

When the question is whether or how many times men landed on the moon, and whether they actually returned alive, you don't need to bundle up a case on those points with positions on unmanned moon probes, or other manned space programs.

They had five high-end, room-size computers to do their number crunching for things like orbital mechanics. The millions of calculations they did per second were far beyond what humans could have done.

Just as there wasn't much point in doing it, and there wasn't much point in anything else NASA did with manned spaceflight afterward.

Most of the cost was in developing the capability, and much of what was left was in monitoring everything in excruciating detail because it was all new and anything could have fucked up at any moment. After they had, the cost of a moon landing was comparable to the cost of a single shuttle flight (which involved the launch of a similarly-sized, but much more complex vehicle).

By the second landing, Apollo 12, they had the ability to land at a targetted location, within easy walking distance of past landings. With the fourth, Apollo 15, they demonstrated the ability to land large cargos, such as the moon buggy. They had the technology to build a base, even if they just kept doing week-long astronaut vacations, and no one-way cargo landings (which could have landed 10+ tons per shot).

The moon isn't just a "barren rock". It's the nearest, most accessible source of raw materials in space. There's water, carbon, and nitrogen in polar craters, which could be used for fuel production. Sending materials back from the moon to Earth is relatively easy, once there are people living and working there. Development of the moon is the only reasonable purpose of a manned space program.

The management of the US space program has been utterly bizarre ever since the Apollo program, right up to the Constellation Program where, in the 21st century, NASA tried and failed to reproduce their 1960s Apollo Program capabilities.

Sure, but you need a Saturn V-class vehicle to get to the moon, and Saturn had been cancelled before the Apollo missions had even finished. They didn't even use all of the ones they had built, two of them ended up in museums.

For a bunch of reasons it was decided to scrap all the Saturn infrastructure and instead develop the Shuttle, presumably because it was believed that reusability was the way forward in space. In hindsight yeah, the Shuttle was way shittier than hoped and it probably would have made more sense to just keep making expendable Apollo hardware, but they didn't know that at the time. They had visions of Shuttles going up and down every week and making space flight routine.

Same people who paid for all the pointless shit with manned spaceflight NASA did afterward, like the space shuttle, ISS, and now SLS/Orion (fresh news today: they had a little whoopsie with the "LOX dome" of the SLS prototype in the factory, pushing the entire schedule back and the cost up again).

They did over a hundred shuttle flights, after it was obvious before the first flight that it would never serve its intended purpose of lowering launch costs.

ISS was originally a project to use up all the cheap, plentiful shuttle flights they were anticipating. When it turned out there were no cheap, plentiful shuttle flights, it became an excuse to keep running a shuttle nobody wanted to fly anything on because it was too expensive and flew too irregularly.

To hear some people say it, NASA spending was cut to the bone after Apollo, but that's not true at all. The absolute peak year (1966) was about $44 billion, while the absolute lowest (1980) that came after was over $14 billion. In the year they first landed on the moon (1969), it was under $28b, and they carried on doing landings as it dipped under $20b.

The average during Apollo was $26b, and since then, mostly it has hovered in the mid-to-high teens. Currently it's at $19.5b.

They spent a lot of money in the rush to develop technology for Apollo, and build huge, complex facilities in a hurry, but they were starting from almost nothing. They could have sustained regular moon landings, and the accumulation of durable equipment at a moon base, without any higher budgets than NASA actually got and spent somehow.

If that's what you want to believe then I doubt I could ever convince you otherwise.

Almost every defense of the validity of the landing can also be described this way. Most people aren't all that bright, well-informed, or disciplined in the way they argue, regardless of what side of any issue they fall on.

If you bundle up all the arguments on either side of the issue, they mostly add up to a lot of stupid bullshit.

For instance, in this post, you equate the belief that the manned moon landings involved some degree of deception with the position that all positive results of both American and Soviet moon programs were faked: that there were no impactors, orbiters, unmanned landers, unmanned rovers, or unmanned sample return missions. They're not the same positions at all.

They had a number of catastrophic failures of the unmanned landers. That's the kind of result you'd expect from doing such an ambitious new project. But since the moon race was all about appearances rather than an interest in substantive outcomes, neither side wanted to show such callousness as to splatter astronauts across the surface of the moon, or strand them to suffocate or commit suicide.

The strongest arguments against the moon landings being real, without going into detailed examination of the evidence, are:
1) the shocking reliability of Apollo moonshots despite the difficulty of the task (as demonstrated by the unmanned landers) and lack of experience, and
2) the abrupt abandonment of the capability of landing men on the moon after its demonstration, and failure to repeat the feat in half a century.

What NASA claimed to do with Apollo is inconsistent with the level of competence they demonstrated before and after.

>> No.8899984

>>8899882
>a hoax has all sorts of implications which are very hard to believe.
As the Amazing Randi liked to point out when debunking hoaxes, most of the implications of the available evidence exist only in the imaginations and presumptions of observers untrained in deception. You see a clever trick, you confuse the whole structure your mind builds around it with the actual body of evidence, and you suppose that nearly everything you saw would have needed to be part of some incredibly elaborate trick, when actually most of what you saw was perfectly ordinary and the deception was accomplished by a relatively small and simple deviation from what you think you saw happen.

For instance:
>There were so many people working on the Apollo project, they'd all have to be in on it!
The vast majority of them didn't need to be. Even the guys in mission control were all looking at data fed to them by a computer, hearing people over speakers, and there was only one station that was allowed to talk to the astronauts.

>If you think the landing wasn't real, that means you think it had to nearly all be fake, right?
Nearly all of it could have been real, except for the part about actually risking the lives of astronauts in a moon landing. Rather than receiving transmissions from the newly-landed LEM, they were being relayed from a previously-landed piece of equipment. They had scripts to play for anything that could have gone wrong with the (entirely unmanned) orbital operations, to make it into a heroic story like Apollo 13.

What did they have to gain? Primarily avoidance of the risk of humiliation of killing crews in space, and thereby building permanent monuments on the moon to the inferiority of the American Way.

Consider the possibility that the best the technology of the day could do was a 50-80% chance of successful landing. They could make a near certainty of at least one unacceptable, shameful crew loss, into a near certainty of the appearance of glorious success.

I agree that most people who dismiss hoaxers present a straw man version, and often don't know what they're talking about. But even the most minimal hoax leaves far too many incredible implications. You're still going to need probably hundreds of people to pull off the faked footage, feeding of information to all aspects of mission control without anyone noticing anything, and just generally keeping everything in an operation involving hundreds of thousands of people running smoothly while those people didn't realise they weren't actually doing what they thought they were.

Then you're left with hours upon hours of footage that would be difficult if not impossible to fake with 1960s technology, the fact the landing sites have been imaged by satellites (I suppose they could have been unmanned and had robots go around making the foot tracks supposedly made by the astronauts, but that really beggars belief), and most telling to me, the detail that they really did build a rocket capable of landing a man on the moon, and launched it, leaving not a whole lot left to do to make faking anything worthwhile.

Yeah, you can come up with reasons why they might have had reason to fake it, and you can point to vague things that imply it could have been fake, like the amazing success of Apollo compared to the rest of spaceflight history. But there just isn't any compelling reason to think it actually was fake from an unbiased perspective. It always starts from a prior assumption that it's fake, and then evidence is made to fit that.

Apollo 12's landing site was officially the site of a previous Surveyor landing.

Apollo 6, 8, and 10 were all pre-landing Saturn V missions meant to go to near-moon space which would have allowed spare landing attempts. With 10 such launches, and 6 landings, they only needed a 60% success rate (67% of the lander, since Apollo 6 was a launch vehicle failure) to have a landed transmitter location for each "manned mission". Any excess ones could have been deliberately ditched on the far side of the moon, where the debris would be unlikely to ever be found, let alone correctly identified.

Did you read what you're responding to? NASA's *other* lunar-lander program, Surveyor, had a 2 out of 7 (28%) catastrophic failure rate, and that was just a small unmanned lander, without a dicey launch, rendezvous and docking procedure.

They would have had a very high probability of killing the crew on their first landing, and a near certainty of killing one over the course of the program. Consider that this is the NASA that actually managed to burn a crew to death in an Apollo capsule *on the ground*.

>What are the odds that they went 9 for 9 bringing the boys home on every launch beyond LEO they've ever attempted, with 6 actual landings?
I'm not gonna lie, it is remarkable and it's often downplayed just how unbelievable it is that they all got back. But it's vaguely circumstantial evidence for a hoax at best. It certainly shouldn't convince anyone in a court of law, for example.

apparently our government is determined enough to put in the effort behind such a hoax and expert enough to stop anyone from spilling the beans, but too stupid to change the names properly. conspiratards believe this unironically.

(the answer to your question is that you can still bounce a laser off of lunar regolith; you just get a much dimmer reflection.)

How is the nature of the 'reflector' relevant in any way you retarded nigger. You can bounce a laser beam off the lunar surface without shitty NASA moonmirrors, thereby disproving the but muh retroreflectorz argument, end of story.

Because the signal you would get back with and without a reflector are measurably different?
The paint on a wall reflects light, and my bedroom mirror reflects light, but they still look completely different.

Well then post some numbers that shows there is a difference. Besides, those 'retroreflectors' could be one of the countless Russian and American probes, this proves nothing.

Don't be a dick. To independently observe that humans were aboard, you'd have to be there on the moon when they got out.

Yes it's highly suspicious that NASA apparently forgot how to land on the moon after doing it several times.

What are the odds all those missions would succeed anyway?
