Why hasn't nasa gone back to the moon since like the 70's?

Question

im wondering if its because it wasn't real or because that place is so boring

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Why would you bring the water back from the moon? The whole point is that it is up there in the first place and doesn't need to be taken from Earth. Do you know how many people DIED in the Apollo program? How much time, effort and MONEY it cost? The only thing costing a similar amount of money in REAL terms is the IRAQ WAR. And America can't afford the expenses that she's got. The reason America didn't go back was public opinion, money, and the Vietnam war. The old "Oh, but we should deal with problems right here on Earth first" routine. The people who say that as a reason to not do something never then turn around and actually DO anything about the problems on Earth. Hypocrisy! Um, they DID prove once and for all that they could send humans to the moon. They did it in 1969. It would have been harder for them to fake it than for them to actually do it for real. Nothing will ever break the conspiracy theory. When there are millions of people living in lunar colonies, there will be people on Earth clinging to the stupid conspiracy theory that it is all a lie. And so what if NASA (in a money saving effort forced upon them by decades of underfunding) recorded over the original tape? There are other copies of the footage, eg Australia where the signal was first received, and since when did people require an original document to believe in something? You believe in things that you read don't you? Even though they aren't the papers originally submitted by the author and therefore may have been manipulated in some nefarious conspiracy to fool you? :p People generally don't care about first hand evidence. Do you read the Bible in Classical Hebrew from a 3000 year old papyrus scroll? Of course not. But the average person doesn't worry about 3000 years of translations and linguistic changes. But logical trains of thought don't mean much in this world of rumour and gossip and YouTube.

Answer 3

Neither.



The reason is very simple: lack of money. Congress cut NASA's funding after the sixth lunar landing in 1972 because the public seemed to have lost interest in the Moon and the "space race" with the Soviet Union had been won. It was tragically bad timing, because Apollo 17 in 1972 was the _first_ Apollo voyage to have a trained scientist, Harrison Schmitt, on board, and was supposed to be the first of three scientific expeditions.



More was learned about the Moon and its history in that voyage than in the previous 5 put together, and much more would have been learned if the two next voyages had been funded. Instead the US space program was redirected into the boondoggle of the shuttle and space station programs, neither of which has made much contribution to science.



Whenever this question is asked, some people reply that we now know everything there is to know about the Moon. What a ridiculous idea! How can anyone say that we learned everything about a place with almost as much dry land as the Earth in six visits of a few hours or days?

Answer 4

It is NOT because of a lack of money. It infuriates me that people spread that notion. NASA has wasted billions flying in circles around the Earth testing gravity's effect on flies. And when NASA does have a worthwhile mission, like testing Mars for water, what do they do? They farm the project out to students at the University of Phoenix.



NASA has in it's possession alien technology. They are doing incredible things in the Universe. The missions that NASA performs are a mere public diversion. NASA is well funded.

Answer 5

THIS POST CONTAINS INCREDIBLE EVIDENCE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ALSO WATCH THE SHORT VIDEOS.



When the Astronauts went to the Moon, there is overwhelming evidence that they discovered Aliens observing them on the lunar surface.



Listen to Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 Press Conference. While watching this video, keep in mind that these astronauts had witnessed aliens and were told that for national security reasons, they could not tell the world what they had witnessed.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RcKLAo62Ro



These astronauts were near tears and were obviously frightened, secretive and elusive.



25 years anniversary of the event, Neil Armstrong made a rare public appearance. LISTEN TO HIS WORDS CAREFULLY AS TO THIS DAY HE IS MAKING REFERENCE TO ALIENS BUT STILL CANNOT DISCUSS THEM PUBLICLY. HIS REMARKS SURELY REFER TO NASA'S DISCOVERY OF ALIEN BEINGS.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUx1SURbb3g



He told us, “There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief.”



REMOVE ONE OF TRUTH'S PROTECTIVE LAYERS???? PLACES TO GO BEYOND BELIEF??? CONCLUSION = ALIEN COVERUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Listen to astronaut Buzz Aldrin.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpfvhdmhQy4



Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon's surface after Neil Armstrong, says space agency bosses covered up their sighting.



And the Apollo 11 astronauts were also careful not to talk about it openly.



He said: "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?



"Now, obviously the three of us weren't going to blurt out, 'Hey, Houston, we've got something moving alongside of us and we don't know what it is, you know?



"Can you tell us what it is?'



"We weren't about to do that, because we knew that that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is."



People often ask, Why hasn't NASA gone back to the Moon since 1969? Why? Would you go back if aliens were on the Moon and didn't want you there?



Why, as the Chinese and soon the Indian space programs are showing signs of reaching the moon, is a mission being launched to demolish a location on the lunar surface?? Oh, haven't you heard, NASA is bombing a location on the Moon on Oct 9th, 2009.



http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=nasas-mission-to-bomb-the-moon-2009-06



Why is NASA bombing a location on the Moon before China and India explore it? What evidence are they trying to destroy?

Answer 6

The don't like cheese

Answer 7

Neither: it's because to go to the Moon requires a lot of money, and NASA were told to spend their money on other things.

Answer 8

Somebody lost the keys to the Apollo rocket.

Answer 9

Because the moon landing never happened for real .the technology present at that time(1960s) with NASA. Was somewhere equivalent to what we use in our kitchen appliances today. It is also beleived that NASA even killed some astronauts including Gus Grissom who were about to reveal that the landings were hoax. The entire act was carried out in a desert studio. When they were broadcasting Live moon landing. In Australia some of the viewers noticed a coke bottle at one of the corners. But later on the Video was edited and that part was cut by NASA themselves. At that time NASA was in a state of competition with the USSR for space flights and space explorations. And USSR was 5 times ahead of NASA. And the lunar module had failed thrice when tested on earth by NASA. then how come NASA won the competition against USSR so easily. All this enactment was done to fulfill president Kennedy's speech made to the American people that America will put a man on the moon before the end of the decade. USSR knew that it was not possible at that time to land on the moon. USSR knew that the landing was a hoax but they kept quiet because they would also reveal some of their own fake space explorations. Also America supplied Huge tonnes of food grains to the war affected USSR at that time. to make them quiet. By all this enactment NASA earned a lot of funds by making people believe that they really landed on the moon. Also it was not at all possible for the astronauts to be safe from the radiation belt.

Answer 10

Honestly because they started seeing things that they thought didn t exists like certain creatures and people.

Answer 11
