Why have we not been back to the moon?

[GAMBLOR777]

Seriously, it's been 40+ years, we could have accomplished so much up there by now.

What's really on the moon? Maybe we are afraid to go back? Maybe we were warned not to return?

I saw a strange light, kinda looked like a star, making intelligent patterns near the moon last night...really made me think.

[Dutch]

No need. Been there done that. What would they do? Walk around and collect moon rocks. No need for a moon base for at least a hundred yrs probably.

[Mikail]

Well many say that we didn't really go there at all. The whole thing was a studio production. If you think about it that makes more sense then we wen't back in 1969 and never went back.

[GAMBLOR777]

I'm sure there are millions of people that have further questions about the moon, and many would like to explore it for themselves.

So, if not for anything else then why not go back for mapping and exploration?

Better option than some of the other things governments waste their money on.

[GAMBLOR777]

double post

[GAMBLOR777]

Mikail you bring up an interesting point.

But surely if we didn't go to the moon back then and have not been since then there must be a damn good reason to lie about it.

Things don't add up, it feels like we are not getting the full story.

[Mikail]

It sure does look like we aren't getting the whole story. We can bring up theories but we can all agree there's a reason we haven't been back and were not being told why.

Yeah it would make a great movie... apart from the fact half a dozen different countries have landed stuff on the moon more than 30 times since 69

We are talking about manned flights to the moon sir.

Your reference is wikipedia?

I really couldn't care how much useless junk we've sent up there, the fact of the matter is we ourselves went there once, took a few steps and came back. No human has been there ever since. Yet if you asked today how many people want to see the moon for themselves everyone would put their hand up.

Do you think that's okay? To just have a peek and never go back again? Even now, 40 years later with our advances in technology.

[Optional]

You're in denial if the best you can do is dis the facts because the list is on Wikipedia.

Nobody is afraid to go back. Nobody has been warned off and I don't even think anyone is hiding anything. The low orbit Japanese and Indian orbiters up there mapping the place in detail would be very happy to expose evidence of faked landing sites etc if any existed.

There have been 100 moon missions since 69... most of them by the US. How on eart is that having a peek and never going back?

The lemming like ignorance of people that spout this crap is amazing. You've been brainwashed and are simply too lazy or thick to work out the very very obvious truth for yourselves.

[GAMBLOR777]

I'm just asking questions about the unknown and we as humans are programmed to ask such questions.

My interest came from looking up at the moon last night, not by anything I read.

You on the other hand are retorting with statistics and facts given to you by other sources, namely governments.

So you tell me who's been brainwashed...

Also you seem very conclusive about your answers, you must have been there before, am I right?

[Optional]

Sorry

I like the idea of public space travel too.

But it's tough to ignore people who say this stuff so often. A 5 minute google search might amaze you just how much work is being done on Moon visits even right now.

There were 6 successful manned landings on the moon btw.

[GAMBLOR777]

I do realize that there is still vast amounts of time and money being invested into the exploration and monitoring of the moon, but it all seems so secretive. The public only gets fed filtered information.

There's no real transparency and it's all going very slow.

[Optional]

Maybe I notice stuff about it in the news more because I am interested, but there seems to have been a lot in the last few years to me.

What gets my hackles up is young Americans dismissing the moon landings as some sort of faked conspiracy. The race to get to the moon in the 60s is the most amazing feat America, or any country, has ever achieved imho. A politician stood up and demanded the nations scientists achieve the impossible. We may have expected to get there one day, in maybe 100 years, but nobody with half a brain or any knowledge believed it could be done in Kennedy's time frame.

Anyway, it's one of America's proudest moments yet half the patriotic youth of today seem to use it as an excuse to put down the country.

(and I'm not even American btw)

[GAMBLOR777]

I'm not American either Optional but I do understand that the race to the moon was huge for all nations involved and I am in no way saying that it was a hoax.

But still, 50 years on, you think America would have built upon this land they claimed in the sky.

No space station, no hotels, no billboards...

no nothing...

[Optional]

LOL at the no Billboards.

I have to give you that... probably the most un-Americanised foreign land they have ever visited. That is sus!

[statnerds]

Why the fukk would they go back?

Do a CBA on it an get back to me. And if you were unaware, obama pretty much scuttled the entire space exploration part. now NASA exists to build the self esteem of arab nations and prove global warming is man made.

Please tell me the entire post about America not building up the land in the sky they claimed was an attempt at humor.

[GAMBLOR777]

Why not go back?

Only thing I can think of is it is too expensive.

Scientists/astronomers are still asking questions.

I'm sure astronauts are willing to go.

If not, then the general public are.

[dxunchuk]

of course they dont tell us truth , of course there may be a real reason why they dont fly back to moon, but what is the reason for us ? just interest ? and spend huge money just for interest .... ? I think that if something could be taken from the moon, something worthy , than it would be done already ...

[ronibrown]

Nobody likes it , moon just means bad luck

[Darkside Magick]

can't go back to some place you never went to in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marcoloco]

[LordVodka]

If you think we never went to the moon you need to check into a mental asylum.

[Darkside Magick]

lmaooo.. you telling me people was in a ship the size of a garbage can , then travel past the van allen belt and landed on the moon!!!!!!!

next someone going to say some guy died and coming back to earth to save humans...lmaooooooooooo

[robmpink]

You people have seen that movie commercial one too many times.

[Vaughany]

For all those saying that they know that the moon landing wasnt a hoax, I suggest u read Bill Clinton's autobiography. He pretty much admits in that that the moon landings was very dodgy

[onlooker]

You've seen the movies, it's scary up there man.
