If Hubble took a picture of the site, including Armstrong's footprint, nitwits like you would say it's photo shopped and doesn't prove a thing. No need to waste time and money trying to convince the unconvinceable(new word?).
Oh come on. Of COURSE it was a hoax! Any thinking person could see THAT!
Good God. I think all the weirdos come out at night while everyone is sleeping and invade FR.
Look at all the other threads this morning.
Oh, COME ON! Everyone knows the Hubble is a fake...those images are just made up...what good would it do to have a fake verifying the veracity of a fake?
Now I will ask why you are so angry and ready to assign punishment digging?
I would love to look at the fact of a flag on the moon.
now I am nitwitty.
I'll see you on Leno.
It's fairly common knowledge that the flag planted by Aldrin and Armstrong was blown down by their launch back into lunar orbit.
The bit of the Apollo 11 landing that was specifically designed to be detected from Earth works perfectly. I'm sorry if that upsets your raving moonbat conspiracy theory.
You ranting on on on about the blueprints for the Saturn V makes no sense. We could build one tomorrow if there was a good reason. There's no good reason.
I'm sure the Ford Motor Company could probably build a Model T (provided the blueprints haven't been lost *snicker*) but once again, there's no need to build Model T's. So they don't.
The new multi-function NASA vehicle, the CEV, which will be able to return to the moon, plus several other functions, is already being planned and funded.
The one time that the Saturn V was modified to do anything other than go to the moon nearly resulted in disaster. The launch vibration and thrust ripped large, important pieces of Skylab right off.
The Saturn V could only go to the moon. Why rebuild it when it can't do as much?
Excellent, that means it can be easily seen.....
or can it?
Since no one but a few raving nutjobs see the need for such a pointless project, it hasn't been done.
Feel free to start a fund for such a project. I'd much rather see NASA spend money on the CEV, high-altitude and hypersonic research and the next-generation space telescope.
Again, show me e flag.
Once in your life come to Brooklyn.
Ask for John.
See no reason to return to leftist cesspool.
No balls and no photos.
When the arguments run out, the threats start. Silly, since they are safely esconced behind their keyboards.
I doubt it would be quick and, more importantly, it wouldn't "put all the talk to bed". Anyone who thinks that the moon landing didn't happen will be able with just as much (and just as little) reasonableness to discredit photos from Hubble.
Hey Dark,
Come check out this lunatic's thread....
"Have you seen a laser beam reflected from the moon?"
Yes. Hell, I've done it as an amateur astonomy experiment.
"Why is it that re-building the Saturn-5 is impossible today?"
Because they destroyed the jigs and other tooling necessary, because nobody makes 1960s-vintage computer hardware anymore, because nobody writes code for 1960s hardware anymore (and they didn't save the source code), because the Saturn V was designed and built before environmental regulation ran amok...
"Check again, supposedly the plans have been lost??? The single greatest accomplishment of man off earth and the plans are lost??"
They were destroyed along with the tooling.
Actually I'm disappointed. I came her for an "in before the zot" post. I needed to see some Viking kitties before addressing the duties of the day. Instead I get a conspiracy theory "king of the hill" argument where the instigator poses outrageous questions but phrases them as though they were modest and reasonable.
This is not abour discussion, it's about getting others to dance to Nitro's tune. Include me out. I have a real life to attend to.
