What i will say about cost is what has NASA and the trillions we've spent on NASA produced for man kind? I mean other then the NASA fan boys like you having something to cheer about??!! My question is valid. If we landed on the moon in the 1960's what is so great about this rocket landing here on earth? there's quite a bit of difference. primarily, the boosters were in free fall and in varying atmospheric conditions. not saying what we did when landing on the moon was simple, but this is just a lot more complex.

Snoslinger Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 oh I forgot, the moon landing was performed with some cardboard props, crayons, and some cameras. why am I even bothering with you jtssrx. jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did indeed go to the moon in the 1960's shouldn't we be far more advanced with space travel by now? If they were able to land on the moon and then take off from the moon and come back to the earth why are these Space X launches and reentry and landings so great? Reusable, way cheaper, more power, substantially more sophisticated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to many horizontal boster tests of the old Space Shuttle and the ARES 1 rockets. The most powerful thing I will ever see bar none! Space X has developed a reusable liquid motor that has heavy lifting capabilities. And they have the tech to land the rockets back on a pad with little or no damage. So they have a crew carrier and a truck to haul the cargo. Now they need to get astronauts up soon because the ISS will not be up there forever. So, later, that means landing on the moon and in turn using it as a jumping point to destinations much further out once they develop the necessary propulsion et al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motonoggin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The reason we haven't been back to the moon is because there's an alien earth observatory on the dark side of the moon and they warned us not to return... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's nothing wrong with some moments of "coolness" in life. It also showed that private operations are better than government funded ones and can reach the same goals in less time with less money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is money well spent. Americans can go hungry if they don’t like space travel!!!! The mere idea that we are anywhere near traveling to habitable planets is completely laughable. If you want to convince us the money spent on space travel benefits mankind in way x or y fine but its insulting our intelligence to think we waste resources to find other livable planets. I've never understood this theory that we need to waste resources on any mission to find an alternative planet. When mankind.....sorry peoplekinds time to become extinct then its time. I can see spending resources to protect the earth from Comets and asteroids but to live on the moon or some planet light years away is a waste. The probe we sent to Pluto took 9.5 years (3 billion miles). The closest possibly inhabitable planet is 25 trillion miles away or 8,333 x's farther. The proposed fastest probe we could make would take almost 18,000 years to reach it. Edited February 7, 2018 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted February 7, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted February 7, 2018 Pretty neat. We had humans driving cars on the moon in the 70’s. And in 2018 somebody launches a car into space and it is like a big deal of never before seen in Evah!!! OMG!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't going anywere...and shouldn't be allowed to if we could. Shit, we still can't figure out all the stuff on this planet...but hey! What's going on with Saturn?
