John Lambies Doos Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Saw First Man at the flicks on Saturday, got me thinking was the landing manufactured; did it actually happen? It's been 50yrs since man first landed on moon, yet apart from couple of missions directly after, no one has been back. This despite the technology on our phones being far more advanced than the 'eagle'. What I find extraordinary is that the Chinese or the Russians haven't been up themselves, off course they would have had the technology to dispute the landings but the Americans would just counter that their rivals technology is inaccurate and made up. No winners there....Anyways, what are peoples 'tin foil' hat thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I’m sure the Soviet Union would have been looking to disprove the landings at the first opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I’m sure the Soviet Union would have been looking to disprove the landings at the first opportunity. Why? Americans would just say Russian technology is shite, and disprove it using their own. As I say, not in eithers interests, Soviets got first space walk, USA got first moon landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really expensive to get there, and dangerous, and now they've been and done what needed to be done there's no point in going back. Until such time as it involves building a moon base or tourist centre or similar. I saw a documentary that took the conspiracy theorists' arguments and debunked them one by one. It was a great watch and went to show that these folk really are mentalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Only American could get realistically and it really doesn't look that good to have 7 million people unemployed and people leaving hospitals bankrupt while you fire a few people up to a rock to have a look around at huge expense. Until they can cover it in solar panels or if they struck oil then I doubt they will go back any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the landings had been faked, think of the thousands and thousands of people that would have had to be 'in on it'. And not once, in nearly sixty years, has one of those folk came out and said "it was faked"? Bollocks. Humans can't keep secrets. And the reason no-one's went back is quite simple: why would they want to? It's expensive, and dangerous, and once the Americans had been there a few times and saw there was basically nothing there of note, why would China or the Russians want to waste their money?

Dee Man Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories but I've often wondered why the horizon looks so close in the pictures. Obviously the moon is much smaller but it only looks about 50 metres away. I don't remember it looking that close when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Well there are laser reflectors up there so it's easy to prove. I've said before but what a top trump that would be if you had went there. It must change your outlook on life and look at our petty squabbling as pathetic. I think we should spend more on space and it's sad we haven't continued exploring. Moon fact, it moves away from the earth at the same rate your nails grow. I'm guessing they know this due to the highly accurate laser measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
