Final Space Shuttle Mission (145)
Thumblina: I didn't realise Blip came in a full functioning mode...
Well I guess only a lady that met him would know that.gleneagle: Why do you think it was not possible to land a man on the moon in 69.
The Americans claim to have made 6 moon landings between 1969 and 1972 during Nixon's administration.
Apollo 11, 12 14 15 16 17.
I have been involved in aviation for 30 years and never believed in the moon landings. I have constantly researched the apollo program and the more I learned the more I realized that it just was not possible for a Saturn V rocket to travel 143,000 miles there and back and even orbit the moon for about 3-5 days.
Nasa themselves on their website show a 3D example of how they plan a moon landing in 2018 if funding allows. They will have to use up to 3 different rockets to make such a landing possible
and it's only now after 2 years of info from their moon orbitter LRO that they finally understand all the possible radiation problems involved.
The lunar landing module would have to be 10 times more advanced that the current space shuttle. That's VERY VERY advanced.
To even think that such a feat was possible back in 69-72 is to me is just pure fairytale.
Don't ask me how they managed to keep it quiet because I honestly do not know.
Intimidation and threats from the CIA would have been a large part of it. A lot of ex Nasa workers have spoken about such intimidation. Apollo is a dirty word at Nasa !!
I know. I was there 3 times doing simulator research for KLM.

gleneagle: I hope Blipper is not going into malfunction mode as I don't think that is covered in the manual.
no im ok now
crap
steer outa the way of that meteor
jayses that was a close one
blipper2000: no im ok now

go ask me bollix
just cause yer parents named ya after a disney character doesnt give ya the right to question my functionability

and here stop eatin all the hydrated tubes of rhubarb dude
I thought a lot of the ground gets covered by getting a slingshot effect from the interaction between the moon and earths gravity.
I think I saw the Saturn five rocket at that place in Washinton where they have the Lindberg plane. What in your opinion is the range of the saturn five rocket as configured for apollo 11

Several years after NASA claimed its first Moon landing, Buzz Aldrin "the second man on the Moon" was asked at a banquet what it felt like to step on to the lunar surface. Aldrin staggered to his feet and left the room crying uncontrollably. It would not be the last time he did this. "It strikes me he's suffering from trying to live out a very big lie," says Rene. Aldrin may also fear for his life.
Virgil Grissom, a NASA astronaut who baited the Apollo program, was due to pilot Apollo 1 as part of the landings build up. In January 1967, he hung a lemon on his Apollo capsule (in the US, unroadworthy cars are called lemons) and told his wife Betty: "If there is ever a serious accident in the space program, it's likely to be me."
Nobody knows what fuelled his fears, but by the end of the month he and his two co-pilots were dead, burnt to death during a test run when their capsule, pumped full of high pressure pure oxygen, exploded.
Scientists couldn't believe NASA's carelessness - even a chemistry students in high school know high pressure oxygen is extremely explosive. In fact, before the first manned Apollo fight even cleared the launch pad, a total of 11 would be astronauts were dead. Apart from the three who were incinerated, seven died in plane crashes and one in a car smash. Now this is
a spectacular accident rate.
NASA wont respond to any of these claims, their press office will only say that the Moon landings happened and the pictures are real. But a NASA public affairs officer called Julian Scheer once delighted 200 guests at a private party with footage of astronauts apparently on a landscape. It had been made on a mission film set and was identical to what NASA claimed was they real lunar landscape. "The purpose of this film," Scheer told the enthralled group, "is to indicate that you really can fake things on the ground, almost to the point of deception." He then invited his audience to "Come to your own decision about whether or not man actually did walk on the Moon."
Fascinating......I don't believe they did it either

9 SPACE ODDITIES:
1. Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.
2. A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon. Who did the filming?
3. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?
4. The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.
5. The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares.
6. Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?
7. The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?
8. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?
9. The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.

I could add over a 100 more to that list !!
Astronaut John Glenn 90 today first man to orbit the earth "God speed John Glen"
John Glen !!gleneagle: Astronaut John Glenn 90 today first man to orbit the earth "God speed John Glen"
Yuri Gregarin was the first man in space and to complete an orbit of the Earth on April 12 1961.
John Glen was the first American in space - Feb 20 1962.
The Americans often refer to Glen as the 'first man in space' but as you can see he was ten months behind Gregarin. I suppose they feel that if they repeat it often enough people will start to believe it.

You know you`ll a doing in the playground for that as usual
BannerMan53: 2 more days sees the 42nd anniversary of the so called apollo 11 landing. July 20th 1969."One small step for Neil, one giant lie for mankind"
The funniest thing I ever saw relating to the "MooN LandingS" was a series of photographs of the alleged event.
Any scientist will know why the lenses had sets of crosshairs on them, but in one of the photos half a crosshair was eclipsed by an astronaut, he was probably carrying out maintainence on the camera.
