If we really made several trips to to moon why would we simply abandon all of that infrastructure instead of continuing to develop it? Can you imagine where we would be if we had continued down that path? So for that reason I'm calling BS on the moon landings. And even in the highly unlikely event they actually occurred they were of no real lasting value.(December 13, 2017 at 4:17 am)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: ReallY?
Yeah.... but like the Vikings landing in Canada we did little more than leave a few artifacts around. You can bet the Chinese will be building factories or something.
China is supposedly going to make some attempts to go to the moon. I wonder what their results will be? Imagine that they make it round trip but their astronauts break out in horrible tumors from space radiation from being on the moon. How will we explain that it didn't happen to our astronauts decades ago? Trump will be busy claiming that it's fake news.
