Did you know that no human has been past lower earth orbit (LEO) which is about 1000 miles above sea level… except for that time we "went to the moon" which is 240,000 miles away. And guess what, we did that in 1969. When a computer with the computing power of a TI-89 graphing calculator was the size of a house. We didn't even have DVDs yet. We didn't even have the internet.

Fast forward to today, over 50 years later, when an iphone 12 has more computing power than every single computer on Earth in 1969 COMBINED. Wow! And materials science, engineering, knowledge of physics, space, etc, have all advanced by 50 years! Nasa has said that we "lost the technology" to go to the moon. But, how could that be? Even if so, how have we not gone back?

How has China not gone to the moon? How has Russia, or Japan? "It's too expensive" people say, but Russia and the CCP spend billions a year on propaganda, would going to the moon not be the most effective propaganda for those countries? China, the only other country than the US to land humans on the moon? Seems like the CCP would greatly benefit from that.

What was done 50 years ago that isn't a thousand times cheaper and easier to do today? You're telling me that we went to the moon in a tin can with rudimentary technology 50 years ago??? I've seen homeless tents under the highway that have more insulation. I've seen Halloween costumes made out of amazon delivery boxes that look more sturdy than what landed on the moon. You're telling me, that no human ever has been further than 1000 miles above sea level, because space is so fucking dangerous and deadly, and yet 50 years ago we launched a "space ship" that managed to hit a tiny target (relatively speaking) 240,000 miles away… AND GOT IT BACK HOME SAFELY??? A 500,000 MILE ROUND TRIP IN SPACE? PAST THE DEADLY VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS THAT WEREN'T EVEN DISCOVERED UNTIL A FEW YEARS AFTER THE "MOON LANDING"???

Really, just think about this. In 1969 we sent a tiny homeless tent covered in aluminum foil 250,000 miles away to a precise location… even being 1/10000 of a millimeter off in any part of the launch or duration of the trip would have caused the ship to miss the moon by thousands of miles…. and yet, we can't even get humans past 1000 miles above sea level.

And yes, the ISS is in lower earth orbit. NO MAN has gone past LEO besides that one time we "went to the moon". Honestly I'm sooner to believe the earth is flat.
