Me too, but it came out as it was supposed to. Divinely purposed slip up, heh.
In any case, it is what people heard and recorded it as, even “if” it were a transmission blip.
It’s quite the fantastic announcement, that “one small step for man” is also “one giant leap for mankind”, spoken just like that, no indefinite article (making man = mankind). Most people think it falls flat.
Oh, I've never faulted Neil Armstrong for goofing that line. He got it right enough for such an historic moment. It still stands as one of the greatest achievements in human history.
If you tape someone walking normally on Earth. Then slow it down. It looks like they are in low gravity.
Take a look at the lunar lander. That thing is a piece of garbage with scotch tape, tinfoil and curtain rods all over it. Can’t believe anyone thinks we actually landed on the moon but have never gone back. We could nearly 50 years later it would be much much easier and we could have high definition video footage of a man on the moon. But nope. The cost would be exponentially less than it was. Why not? Because we can’t and never could leave LEO.
That's exactly what he said, even if it didn't come out that way. You can hear "fer-a man" if you're inclined to, and I believe he did say that's what he said. I heard it. I was never confused.
Oh, shut up.
How do you figure this cost? To do it again would cost more now, even in inflation adjusted dollars, I'm sure. But the question is moot, since we are not now, or ever, going to do it again, at least in this epoch. And the question of course is, COULD we do it again?
And of course there are many proofs that we did do it. These include the Lunar Orbiter photos that show the several landing sites in detail, including even the footprints of Neil Armstrong's unplanned excursion to Little West Crater, which he had seen on the descent.
How do you figure that to be fake? This thinking approaches, and indeed achieves, the dimensions of paranoia.
It absolutely does not. NASA astronauts have said on record that we cannot pass the Van Allen radiation belt. There is stereoscopic analysis of moon pictures that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were not taken on the moon.
Look at the lunar lander when it’s on the moon. It’s literally scotch tape and tinfoil. NASA claims the tinfoil is to protect the astronauts by reflecting radiation. But there’s a huge section dead center not covered by it. There are multiple light sources where there should be one. There is no blast crater under the lunar lander in the pictures. There are no imprints in the dust from the lander legs, but a mans foot leaves one? All but one of the men that supposedly landed on the moon would not swear on a Holy Bible that they personally walked on the moon.
The moon landing happened at a time that was hugely advantageous to the USA. But we have never gone back when there is massive incentive to do so? Low G research and manufacturing that cannot be done on Earth that would advance human technology. You know why? Because we can’t and never have.
If we faked it in 69-72, wouldn’t it make sense to fake it now? Our technological ability to fake a moon landing is far beyond anything we had in the early 70’s.
Speaking of tinfoil, I understand they make excellent hats.
Three? I think it should be six times.
The laws of physics are unintuitive. That’s why we can’t just rely on how we think it should be.
Jiminy crickets! Now some doofus on this thread is talking about the moon landings being fake. Next the he will say is that Obambi loves America and Western Civilization.
I hope his leg don’t break, walking, walking on the moon.
Where is your physics analysis?
If I weigh about 30 pounds on the moon, all else being equal, I am pretty sure I could jump higher than what you assert. In fact, I posit that it would be linearly proportional to the gravitational force. So if I can jump one foot on earth, I should be able to jump six feet on the moon. Because the ONLY thing keeping me on the moon is the mass of my body.
The Van Allen belts are shaped like a doughnut, which has a hole in its center. That is where the ISS roams. The Apollo ship was launched 75 degrees relative to the equator for a near polar orbit. When it exited the earth orbit it spent only 12 minutes in a weak portion of the Van Allen belts. The hull of the space ship was adequate shielding.
There is no blast crater under the lunar lander in the pictures.
In a vacuum, the rocket gasses disperse quickly. There was dust thrown up, but not deeply penetrating the surface.
There are no imprints in the dust from the lander legs...
There certainly are. The lander is sitting on top of them. The pads are a great deal thicker than what you see.
All but one of the men that supposedly landed on the moon would not swear on a Holy Bible that they personally walked on the moon.
It is not necessary to swear to affirm a well-proven fact. Men of faith do not consider doubters worth the effort.
The moon landing happened at a time that was hugely advantageous to the USA.
Yet Russia never made any effort whatsoever to label our landing as fake. Why is that? Could it be that they also tracked the Apollo ship to the moon and received the radio traffic from the surface using highly directional antennas?Numerous people tracked the flight with equipment that provides both range and direction. Not one of them believed it did not go to the moon.
But we have never gone back when there is massive incentive to do so?
There is no incentive to go back. It is dangerous and expensive. It would be really expensive to manufacture anything there and then return it to earth.
The moon landings occurred.
State what prevented the success of the Apollo mission. Explain in scientific and engineering terms. Do not state that is what you believe. You must indicate what technical challenge could not be overcome.
You been meet Whoopi at Starbucks to discuss this???
There is HUGE incentive to research what types of materials we can manufacture in low gravity. A moon base would be highly beneficial to mankind.
I never understand why people talk so much about colonizing Mars. I understand that there are some benefits from a new planet, but it’s a much harder challenge. The moon offers us a lot of benefits and it’s an easier challenge by far. We should be there, living in the crust, extracting resources, and doing research.
