Initially I was going to just pass by this thread. Then I clicked on it and it made me think. Like these guys trusted a group of a hundred scientists of so that they met 3 or 4 years prior with their lives. Back in the 1950s they probably didnt couldn't even imagine what the Moon was like or if it was even truly real. Hell, I'm used to it as a millennial and I can't even fathom it. We take it for granted, but damn, once you think about it you're on a whole other planet (or should I say moon). You're literally not even on the Earth anymore. I can't comprehend what that's like.

Just think, in 50-100 years time there won't be anyone around that witnessed the moon landings. Our technological and societal degradation will be at a point where most people won't even be able to comprehend the fact that we went to the moon. Most people won't understand why anyone would even want to go to the moon, I mean why would anyone want to leave the comfort and safety of the home, where they can browse facebook and watch reality tv all day? More and more 'evidence' will surface that the moon landings were faked, and it will be easier for people to believe that it was all fake, rather than admit that we achieved in the 1960's what will be impossible to us in 2060's.

Just stop for a moment and think of it differently. How much pollution did the industry spew for that specific stunt? Was it worth it? Are we and the planet better off?
Seeing the fumes from one small rocket launch is enough to make a person's hair stand, and that's with modern technology. I literally weep thinking how it was before when nobody opposed environmental destruction out of ignorance.

Very little. The rockets might have looked impressive, but the program was mostly people sitting at desks.

very cool. i love reading about Wernher von Braun and the NASA projects that lead to the moon landing. Building a rocket is the holy grail of engineering. A rocket looks so much simpler than a plane but is so much more complicated and powerful. A rocket has oxygen tanks that mixes with the fuel at the exit what is really amazing for me. All the technology it needs to fly is inside that thing while planes are incredible depended of their environment. The only thing that upsets me is that a rocket is just another device that heats up our atmoshere. we also don´t really know how our atmosphere really works in higher layers so we don´t know how much damage we are doing.
It´s still great to see this industry building up even though it just does for obvious economical reasons.

There are almost certainly animals on other planets, I'm only comparing us to alien peope though, not to alien animals.
Given the size of the observable universe, the amount of time elapsed since the big bang, and the lack of hard limits on space travel (e.g. it's not physically impossible to colonize other star systems in any absolute way), I would be surprised if no one made figured out how to do to other stars and planets what we did by analogy when colonizing other lands on Earth.
In which case a civilization that only makes it as far as its own nautral satellite would be analagous to an aboriginal tribe compared to a colonizing empire in Earth history terms.
We're also located in a random offshoot of space compared to the more densely packed / centralized regions of space that are probably where the civilized aliens live.

No.

Its a simple supply and demand economics principle.

By buying the limited amounts of raw materials needed to launch rockets into space, you raise their price. (More demand = higher price, literally the first thing they teach you in economics 101) Therefore, the price of the raw materials needed to maintain farm and transport equipment goes up, causing the price of the end product to go up for the consumer.

This is a fundamental reality that many of the smartest people in society do not understand. It essentially proves that consumerism is morally bankrupt.

You know we've been there more than once, right? There wasn't a specific "Apollo Mission," it was the Apollo PROGRAM. That specific program landed people on the moon 6 times.
THE Apollo Mission was only the FIRST time.

If other species exist they probably have individual thought. If their population is big enough and they have any significant level of technology, the tiny percentage of them that have both the means and the interest will work together to try to look for life.

As a species we humans are fucking retarded apes intellectually confined to muh job and muh media, and do not give a FUCK about actual space exploration. This will hold true for pretty much every intelligent species; just like us they will be essentially coasting on the achievements of the rare Einsteins and Feynmans that pop up now and then and advance science and technology, and as a population barely even be aware that they live on a rock in space.

If you waited long enough for starlight to be visible on the photos, the much brighter surroundings (->landscape) would have overexposed the rest of the photo and it would be completely white.

but lets say there was a planet with less gravity somewhere out in space that had intelligent life on it, the would be able to go to there moon or natural satilite much easier expending less fuel per trip. Therefore, or achievement would be less so ranked in comparison, because their planes would have been invented within years of a steam or combustion engine being invented, due to the lessened thrust requirement for sustained flight due to the decreased gravity present on said hypothetical planet.

>I mean that's a within a lifetime.

My grandfather was born in the late 1800s and watched men land on the moon in 1969. He was born the same year the first diesel engine was made by Rudolf Diesel. Can you imagine growing up seeing technology spring to life like that? Shit just from the 1980s to 2018 I'm a bit boggled myself, though tech is more social and introspective now with computers, smartphones, and internet. There's still mind controlled mechanical arms and AI controlled war robots.

I think people have been retards all along and that we only now can see that fact thanks to the internet.

>Most people won't understand why anyone would even want to go to the moon
This has been the case since the Apollo program was going--Gallup polls of the time found that 60% of Americans felt their government was spending too much on space travel. A Science poll of 113 scientists outside NASA found that 110 of them thought the manned stage of the program was being rushed for no good reason. You are romanticizing the people who watched the moon landings when in reality most of them thought it was fucking stupid and eating up their tax dollars. Random folks watching wanted it spent on something else. Experts tended to believe the structure of Apollo doomed it to be a flash in the pan--it did not allow for any of the longterm infrastructure or development needed to last in space, just YOLO TO THE MOON BRUH WHO CARES ABOUT THE NEXT STEP MOON ROCKS BITCHES.

Humanity has done some pretty amazing stuff in the last 66 years.
>1952-2018
>landed rovers on Mars, probes on Venus and Titan and some asteroids
>we know so much more about the rest of the solar system due to how much we have explored it (in the early 20th century many people believed there was life on Venus and that it was a steamy jungle)
>didn't even detect the first exoplanet until 1992 and have since discovered a ton more, including some good candidates that might host life or be Earth-like plus one orbiting in the nearest star's habitable zone (Proxima Centauri)
>the planet thing might not seem like a big deal but before we started discovering exoplanets most people believed planets were either very rare or only existed in our solar system, now we know they are pretty common
>the internet alone has made society today unrecognizable compared to society 70+ years ago
>GPS is another incredible technology invented during this period
>satellites are so prolific now we have to worry about junk like specks of paint and loose screws in orbit
