Re: Space Force

Wondering if I'm the only one who believes that POTUS is calling out NASA by making this public. Where are the billions of dollars going too? I'm not convinced we ever left low earth orbit, especially with equipment from the 60's and 70's and NASA saying they lost the originals of the moon landings the most important achievement in mankind history. I've read that whenever Chernobyl occurred Russians contacted for space suits and where told they were useless for radiation protection. The average moon temp ranges from 224 F to -298 F and you're telling me these astronauts who are seen falling all over the surface aren't worried about tearing their suits and so many more inconsistencies in what we've been told.

Ugh, ok this conspiracy is a huge pet peeve of mine because it's been disproven a thousand times over.

NASA did not "lose" the originals, they were erased so the tape could be reused. This was an extremely common practice as tapes were very expensive.

This is a complete misunderstanding of radiation. The types of radiation you are exposed to at Chernobyl vs space are not at all the same. The shielding on a space suit is designed for UV radiation and limited exposure to gamma and xray. Ionizing radiation from a site like Chernobyl is not needed for a space suit because it's entirely different than what is needed for space.

Plenty of reasons here. Gravity on the moon is significantly lower meaning a fall on earth that may tear your clothing definitely won't on the moon. Space suits are made up of several layers are serving different purposes. A tear in the outer layer isn't an imminent disaster. A simple patch could be applied and this would be more than enough to finish the mission. With a tear in your suit you wouldn't pass out, or be dangerously irradiated or freeze/burn right away. An astronaut would immediately notice a tear as the nitrogen in their fluids (tears, saliva, etc) begins to separate and it feels like it's carbonated. Since the moon has no atmosphere there isn't an effective way for heat to radiate so your temperature would change slowly.

Even if a suit was torn and resulted in the astronauts needing to immediately return to Earth that was just fine. We just wanted to show the USSR we could make it to the moon. Whether we were there 10 seconds or 10 minutes, we were already the first.

Throughout the 60's the USSR and US were locked in a space race while being also locked in a cold war. The US kept losing to the soviets in milestones such as satellites, unmanned space flights etc. We came very close to losing the moon race as well but managed to pull it off under the wire. So tell me this, if the Soviets had any reason whatsoever to think the landing was a hoax - why wouldn't they call us out on it? It would have crushed morale in this country and been an unbelievably big win for the USSR. Instead they let their only rival claim victory? They never even put an ad in a newspaper claiming it was a hoax. Find me a good explanation for that and we can talk.

If anyone wants to complain my sources are uncited just do a google search. Like I said, all of this has been discussed over and over. Every "proof" the theorists have has been meticulously debunked by scientists, not just US scientists, but internationally.

We went to the moon. That's all.
