The REAL reason we've never went back.
Younger people can’t know how ordinary the extraordinary used to be to Americans, competence, and excellence were merely normal, from the woman at the bank window to the men putting a golf ball on the moon, to the owner of the hamburger stand making burgers you remember to this day.
NASA wants to send your name to the moon aboard its Artemis Robotic Moon Rover
I’m in agreement that Ceran’s interview was enjoyable.
Knew him for 10+ years. Owned a Cessna 421B. He kept in perfect condition. Took me and my son to his ranch in Kerrville, so my son could shot his first deer. Loved his dogs. Great man.
I might have turned into a curmudgeon, but exactly why are we spending billions of dollars that we do not have just to go to the moon? So what if we map its surface? Yahoo! And who is going to look at the pictures in a few years? (How often do we look at the thousands of pictures we take with our phones?) And I do not want anything coming back from the moon. Nothing. Who knows what effect it could have on the earth and its inhabitants?
Trips to the moon are nothing more than a “look and see what I did!” endeavor. Yes, certain things have been invented to meet the challenge, but they could have been invented without spending billions of dollars on essentially-worthless space trips.
Color me skeptical and cynical.
I’ve reached the state of maturity where I’m simply amused more than angered by the Apollo denialists. People who doubt the landing are just funny to me now.
IF... it were TRUE!
IBT “We never landed on the Moon” retards show up.
Super interesting!
