How do these videos negate that he said the reason we haven't been back to the moon is because we lost the technology?
His choice of word, it wasn’t lost technology but abandoned, they went to delevopment a space station for a longer stay in space, it’s not something that happens over night. the Webb telescope has been under construction for the last 30 years and a few more to go before it’s ready.

And I find it disturbing saying lost when he didn’t say lost technology, I don’t know how that word even got into this, destroyed painful to get it back again, doesn’t mean lost.

trickers and the words. yea reading between the lines.

He said they DESTROYED the technology, and unlike the scant 7 yrs it took with 1960s computing power, it would somehow NOW be painful to build up that tech again. What an utter joke!

I'm guessing you didn't take the time (a whole 5 minutes) of the video.
well 30 seconds in the video's author started interjecting lies, so it was clear from the beginning what character of thing i was watching, so no. i ffw'd and watched a bit on either side of the time signature you specified i should look at, for context, and understood that the astronaut's statement was being deceptively misrepresented. which i reported to you.

why would i watch the other 3 minutes of lying propaganda?

you directed me to a specific few seconds of a video. i watched it. it was deceptive, the video is manipulative and false, and doesn't support your claim.

If you are referring to me, I am not defending a flat Earth. Only that we have been lied to about space travel and moon landings.

Interesting that YOU are spending YOUR time in this thread. But of course, you are merely "checking it out" Huh?
That’s about it!

A year and a half ago I would have thought it nuts to think we didn't go to the moon. But I also very strongly believe in this Albert Einstein quote:
View attachment 204436


I have looked at both sides, and IMO the vast preponderance of evidence dictates that we have been lied to on a massive scale. No small wonder, since the god of this world is a great deceiver.
if you didn't even investigate whether Einstein ever actually said this..

OMG, we've lost our balance, and I and my wife are falling into 'outer-space,
'help us, we've fallen, and we can't get up, please, call an ambulance!!!

'technology' as in the jigs and molds used to build parts for Apollo spacecraft and Saturn rockets, all of the literally millions of different high precision pieces, were destroyed or scrapped or repurposed in the 40 years since they were once used. kind of like ((well exactly like)) how Ford & their suppliers don't make parts for 1965 mustangs anymore, and couldn't just blow off some old special machine they had built to make those cars with and produce a new one next month if they had to, because they don't have those machines anymore. why would they?

we wouldn't rebuild a 50-year old design with 50-year old materials science anyway. we'd build an entirely different rocket & capsule and orbiter and rover, with updated designs and updated processes with updated mission parameters and updated resources. it's not like we don't know how to build rockets or keep people alive in a can in harsh environments. we know way better now than we did then. but it's like starting all over, because it is a whole different craft, and it's enormously expensive to do. money to allocate all the resources and people and time towards doing something like this is the real obstacle.

From 1959 over a period of ten years rocket test crashes on the moon where conducted then There was the six human landings on the moon from 1969 to 1972 Apollo 17 being the longest, they did what was wanted to know to that point of the moon, the focus turned to the ISS thus the space shuttle was built to take payloads

Ironically the whole concept was kicked off by the Russians in 1969.

I did not say Einstein was the originator of the quote, and how stupid is it to strain a gnat and swallow a camel by not focusing on the content of the saying?

It's even more dumb to think we can't solve the tech issues to go to a place we supposedly went to 50 yrs ago.

YOU have a "fact" neatly filed away in your head that you don't want to investigate. That's fine. But don't put down those that have. That's your problem, not mine.

They KNOW we can't go through the Van Allen radiation belts. They said as much. And when the space shuttle got too close, the astronauts suffered eye problems and had to turn back. Now run along and find some stuff that's gonna counter that we DID go through them. And notice how quick google and youtube are to put those things 1st on the queue.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Maybe you can examine the "moon rocks" given to the Dutch national museum by American freemason astronauts, that turns out to be petrified wood!

Or the fact that most of the past 5 or 6 Presidents keep moving the goalposts back to when we are going to the moon and or mars. I think Trump insists it will happen by 2024, but NASA says "Hold on, we can't make that date". A feat we did in a scant 7 yrs with that awesome 60s tech!

If you like that quote, try this one:

"Truth is available only to those who have the courage to question whatever they have been taught."

yes, the last handful of presidents have made some comment about 'let's do space again!'

no, none of them have provided NASA with the $$ they would need to do it.
