danny. Posted 22 October 2013 Posted 22 October 2013 Can't they just ask someone who was involved in all the moon landings about them? Whoever invented the magic crepe paper that was immune to radiation and space debris must know all about the Van Allen belts?
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 22 October 2013 Posted 22 October 2013 To be truthful, I just can't make my mind up one way or the other. There is fairly good evidence that it was a hoax, but it is also possible, that the public are kept in the dark about true capability, which has to remain secret. Still sitting on the fence over this one.
danny. Posted 22 October 2013 Posted 22 October 2013 Tin foil hat wearing cretins. Absolute proof that all "conspiracy theories" are wrong.
Vacamion Posted 22 October 2013 Posted 22 October 2013 Really? Can't we argue about politics or race instead of this shit again?
ozleicester Posted 25 October 2013 Posted 25 October 2013 i thoght we had a single "conspiracy" topic, but didnt find one, so ill drop this here http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/aussie-out-to-show-secret-service-blunder-was-to-blame/story-e6frea6u-1226746269731
Collymore Posted 25 October 2013 Posted 25 October 2013 • Modern technology not being advanced enough to send astronauts further than 400 miles outbound. Most only go to 200 miles up (in plain English that's London to Leeds). The moon journey was 234,000 miles. One way. And 234,000 miles more on the return. On one tank of fuel - incidentally about the same amount of fuel they now use to do the 200 mile trip. I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous statement. Voyager 1 has now left the solar system and is travelling through interstellar space, not with fuel, but the momentum gained from getting a gravitational slingshot from a planet. Once the Apollo spacecrafts had left the Earth (where they had used the majority of the fuel) it was free wheeling all the way to the moon. The only fuel would be needed to make course alterations and slow down by using small thrusters. It's a bit like a car rolling down a hill on Earth and just using a small amount of power (fuel) to work the power steering system and brakes. Obviously the car has a top speed of 120mph even if it falling off a cliff due to terminal velocity being reached. The spacecraft doesn't have to worry about this so can just travel at ridiculous speeds until something gets in it's way or reverse thrusters are used, in fact when at top speed it would have gone from London to New York in 8 minutes. Voyager which I believe got a slingshot off a bigger planet Jupiter is travelling at a speed now where it could be in New York in a little over 5 minutes.

Read the first sentence again "not being advanced enough to send astronauts further than 400 miles outbound" ​The emphasis being on the astronauts. it's one thing to send unmanned stuff , but quite another to send living beings and return them safely . NASA has admitted that the VARB's are much more dangerous than previously believed.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 25 October 2013 Posted 25 October 2013 Let's face it, everyone would believe it if the Soviets had walked on the moon first.

Rincewind Posted 25 October 2013 Posted 25 October 2013 I just hope they do not prove it all fake until the day after my funeral.
