Why haven't we been back to the moon?

We were never there

- Joe Rogan

Yeah, I remember that one really disappointed me.

Rogan has reversed positions after debating guys like NDT and and has acknowledged, "I can't find a single smart person who believes it was faked."



Rogan is so fucking awesome. Personal hero.

The number one answer is cost.

To get to the moon you have to build a rocket with the lift capacity to get you there. The Saturn 5 rockets were able to do this, but they were extremely expensive and were not reusable.

In the seventies, NASA built the space shuttle(s) which were reusable and allowed the USA access to low earth orbit (the parts of space that currently have financial benefits) at a reasonable cost (still cost over a billion per launch). The space shuttles could lift a big payload, but not enough to get to the moon.

Until there is a reason to justify the cost we will not return there.

There's a probe getting launched next year that will study the sun.

How did they get back to the earth again?

I always found this video very interesting. It doesn't have facts saying that we did land on the moon, but it does have plenty of facts supporting our inability to fake the moon landing the way everyone thought we did. The film and video tech was just not there for the time.

Flat earthers and fossil deniers have literally nothing to do with Christianity. Only the most insane and attention hungry mouth pieces try to connect the two.

That's not true. You'll find that quite often, those who advocate for either, especially fossil denial, are self described Christians. I say especially fossil denial because fossils directly contradict their literal interpretation of the Bible - that the Earth is only 2,000 years old, or 6,000, I don't know because they keep changing it.

The flat Earth stuff is just an extension of the attempt to discredit scientific achievement.

Best Korea already beat us there.
