Why landing on the moon is proving more difficult today than 50 years ago?

well it's harder to fool the public with ultra hd 8k mission recording than a grainy one on CRT TV. And average joe can probably watch the landing in real time with their hobby telescope
 
In my opinion, it is a combination of no reason, hence lack of funding, and much stricter safety requirements.

there is no reason to send a man to the moon - what can he do, that a robot/drone cant? sending man would add a lot of unnecessary weight to everything.
and back then they cared less about safety in general, let alone in a "do or die" mission where they had to beat the Soviets. Soviets sent dogs to space with no intention of bringing them back ffs. apparently the dogs died of hyperthermia - not an easy way to go. try doing that today without a major shitstorm.

This went about as expected. Both bc it was posted in the wrong sub, and bc it was a Sonny thread in the first place.

Yall will have to forgive him, he's a Dolphin's fan, and Siakim just got traded from Toronto, probably going through a tough time right now.

Trading Siakam was the right move
the return is pretty bad though.

Got more for OG
 
It seems more likely we didn’t land on the moon in 1969. The U.S. was supposed to have made a trip in the last couple years but was postponed. How do you land on the moon with less technology as opposed to more now?
 
OT- why havent we been to the darkside of the moon, like a robot car lands on the moon and drives around the whle thing taking video?
 
Aliens are anti woke and we are canceling them so

Because while tech increased the safety concerns, beurocratic red tape, amount of testing needed etc all increased exponentially. It's a different world now. While tech had taken miles leap so has all the beurocratic mechanisms. Anything the government tries to do takes 1000x longer thsn it should now..

China landed a rover on the dark side a few years back.

"Since it first landed in 2018, China's Chang'e-4 — the first spacecraft to ever land on the far side of the moon — has been taking stunning panoramas of impact craters and sampling minerals from the moon's mantle."
 
The moon is so bright we see in from earth. Yet it was dark when the astronauts were there. Weird.

When the moon is observed from Earth, it appears bright because it reflects the sunlight that shines on it. However, when the moon is observed from space, it appears dark because there is no atmosphere to scatter and reflect sunlight, so the surface that is not directly illuminated by the sun appears dark.
