Thing that sort of swings it for me, is the guy following Neal Armstrong around asking him to "swear on the Bible he went to the moon".

When someone (might have been the same person) did the same with Buzz Aldrin, he chinned him.
Imo, their advisers and those who give them media training, would have told them not to get involved. |

I was on the moon last night, all their junk is still up there.
you can take my word for it? |
|
By:
Why would they even have wanted to go to the moon ?
And why has nobody been since if it was so important ? |

why wouldn't you swear on the bible if it was true/ 100 percent b0llox they went

if you weren't religious, why would you?

he is religious,hence the bible

he labeled himself as a deist.[126][127] His mother later said that Armstrong's religious views caused her grief and distress in later life as she was more religious.[128] First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, his official biography, also describes him as a deist.

See my earlier post. Imo, it's similar to when a politician is interviewed about education and is asked what is 8 x 7. They never respond but it's not because they don't know the answer. |

they went to the moon for the cheese? that and proving to the soviets that theirs was bigger.
once on the moon, they built moonbase alpha and the moon left orbit for a few years, then it was returned around 2002 when the series finished.  |

have you seen the size of the rocket? It was freakin enormous? and they made plenty of them.
every component would be hugely expensive. It took weeks to move them into place to fire. |

I believe, man did land on the Moon
I believe, there was a cover up over the death of Princess Diana |

There has been independent analysis of rocks brought back from the moon. There have also been photographs taken by independent third parties which show debris left after the various missions.

Read it somewhere long time ago, but bound to be many sites that give the answer.

wikipedia gives it as ..
From 1964 until 1973, $6.417 billion ($41.9 billion in 2017) in total was appropriated for the R&D and flights of the Saturn V, with the maximum being in 1966 with $1.2 billion ($8.86 billion in 2017).[1] That same year, NASA received its biggest budget of US$4.5 billion, about 0.5 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States at that time. |
|
By:
well i found this
The Apollo project cost 25 billion dollars. In the mid-60s, the USA’s gross domestic product (GDP) was around 1000 billion dollars. So the costs of the project amounted to around 2.5 % of GDP annually over a 10-year period ok lower than I first thought, but still an insane cost back in the 60's. They wanted to win a race more than they wanted to feed their own people and create sustainable jobs. |
|
By:
that 0.5% figure was for just one year.
|
|
By:
yes, the 0.5% is one year, like it says, the year NASA received it's biggest annual budget. GDP is an annual measure isn't it ?

Kennedy made a pledge to the American people to get the first man on the moon by 1970. Failure wasn't an option so looks like they just made it , or did they.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/25/newsid_4369000/4369187.stm Amazing fact in this article is that Kennedy asked congress for an extra $1.700m (£600m). Great exchange rate in those days. |
|
By:
yeah but on average over the course of the mission is what I mean, the 0.5 was for one year
Now it would cost about 100 million dollers to get there. |
|
By:
So 0.5% GDP in the highest spend year, but the average is higher.
OK |
|
By:
What do these people fooking want? A postcard with a moon stamp on it?
Get a fooking grip. lads. It happened. Move on. The sh1te, fear and bravery that Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins and the rest had to go through to get there and they are criticised for not playing along with a self-publicising loon! They are well above that and that kn0bhead. Give us a break! |

By:
that's using the wiki figures, the one I post was different and higher.

that person was a nob, but doesn't mean you have to believe everything you're told, and I'm definely not a conspiracy nut type.

I don't often post,but got to say,my father in law worked for the MOD as a scientist in the 1960s to early 80s.Designing missiles and rockets ,and as a master of physics he always maintained they never had the technology to get there.

intersting jass, 480,000 mile round trip in the 60's is questionable.

the moon is only 250,000 miles away? Australia is 12,000 miles? so it's only twenty times more. - once you are in the vacuum of space a nudge can get you there? Well a small amount of fuel.
They have satellites up there to make your phones and GPS working? Getting to other planets with men is going to be nearly impossible. I personally don't care if they faked it, but it seems improbable - people do see the rockets take off? I'd imagine they would be spotted coming down? Even in remote areas. then they'd have to take off again? for the return? Unless they just orbit the earth. Again they would be picked up by people. They picked up sputnik? with teens radio clubs in the fifties. |
