You’re not one of the moon landing believers are you.
1. We never went back because we lost or destroyed the technology. Ok then.
2. Our phones have more computing power than NASA. Ah. No.
3. As an IT specialist. You can have 1000s working on a project but only a handful know the big picture.
Yes they went in space. Yes they orbited the earth. No we never landed.
Six 3-man crews would disagree. I have dined with one of them. But ignorance seems to be rampant these days.
The reason we have never been back is the cost and a lack of political will.
There was little IT. The engineers who brought back 13 did it with pencils and slide rules.
We never went back because we lost the will. The technology was post dated and needed to be replaced. 3 options were presented to Nixon, the very expensive option, the not as expensive option, and the kinda cheap option. Nixon said #3, but half that price. That’s how we got the Space Shuttle. The replacement for the shuttle was supposed to be green lit by Reagan, that was the plan, it would have a 20 year useful life and they’d use basically all that 20 years to make the replacement. Nobody has green lit any replacement. Which is why we have no manned launch vehicles anymore. It’s really hard to go to the moon when you’re not even building launch vehicles.
As for 2 actually very very much yes. A smart phone today has multiple times more gigaflops of processing power than existed on the entire planet when the moon landings happened. We have super computers in our pocket and use them to send misspelled texts.
You are a kook.
Priceless.
