China have landed on the moon !

Don't worry....their economy is collapsing as we type !

I hope they haven’t , maybe fake news

a communist country couldnt have space craft

fear not lfc, they are capitalists in disguise.

They have landed on the FAR SIDE of the moon.

So you won't have to sleep under a Commie moon lfc1971


Their economy is collapsing, well I don't know about that, how is the trade war going on between China and America?????

You are right Donny, not much communism in China

Looks more like one party capitalism to me

Do you know it was an English guy who taught the Chinese how to fly , back at the start of flight ( they have a statue of him in beigeng )

He said they had no aptitude for flying

Even the commies after the revolution kept the  statue intact when many were destroyed of that noble Englishman , quite right

Collapse maybe a slight exaggeration ( wishful thinking ?)

Some signs here :

Apple has rattled investors with news that its sales have been slowing, blaming economic weakness in China.
In a surprise disclosure, the iPhone maker said it anticipated revenue of about $84bn (£67bn) for the three months to 29 December.

In November it forecast sales of at least $89bn - a prediction that had already disappointed investors.
Apple's share price sank more than 7% in after hours trade, extending its more than 28% slide since November.

Apple's warning about a Chinese slowdown has reached certain luxury retailers with large Chinese customer bases.
Burberry is down 6%, Mulberry 4% lower, and LVMH, Hermes and Richemont are 3% lower.
The festive season is typically Apple's strongest quarter.

But revenue of $84bn would mark an almost 5% fall from the same period last year and represent the firm's first year-on-year quarterly decline since 2016.

In a letter to investors on Wednesday, chief executive Tim Cook said the firm's sales problems were primarily in its Greater China region, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan and accounts for almost 20% of its revenue.

"While we anticipated some challenges in key emerging markets, we did not foresee the magnitude of the economic deceleration, particularly in Greater China," he said.

lfc1971 , I'm on the moon , so some people tell me , so i'll go and and try meet our chinese friends here and offer them some moon love, wrapped up in pretty pink ribbon .

I remember reading when I were a lad that all the chinese had to do to get to the moon was stand on each other's shoulders. I wonder how much further they would get now.

Excuse my ignorance but doesn't the moon spin ?

It oscillates slightly, or librates as the experts say, but for all intents and purposes we see the same face all the time.

Not relative to the Earth....always keeps the same face towards us.

(MM's post delayed on my Live -thread update )

(maybe I didn't scroll up ? )

Formation :

The prevailing hypothesis is that the Earth–Moon system formed after an impact of a Mars-sized body (named Theia) with the proto-Earth (giant impact).

The impact blasted material into Earth's orbit and then the material accreted and formed the Moon

So would have no reason to spin.

moon arbits at same rate it spins, but it oscillates a bit so we see nearly 60% of
surface from earth over the years

And here was I wondering where I could find a bunch of sad g1ts who could answer my question cheers lads

60 years old and still learning things

ITS A NEW MOON , on the 6th Jan , by the way .

how long before countries starting claiming parts of the moon, like parts of antartica are currently claimed

i remember from 50 years ago

yet sometimes cant remember what people told me yesterday

rotation caused astronauts temp variations of 400 degrees, from -200
to +200 c

But it still doesn't rotate relative to Earth.

Tidal friction acts negatively against that rotation.

(See above link)

yeah, it rotates in same amount of time it takes to orbit

so it appears to not rotate...




theres some graphics on wiki to demonstrate,.. top right corner of link

also shows what it would look like if it didnt rotate on own axis

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking

I hadn't appreciated till recently the role the Moon plays in keeping us steady, and .....alive!

'We have the moon's gravity to thank for the Earth's steady axis and it's one factor among several that influence Earth's consistent rotation in the same direction.

Earth's unique and favorable axis of rotation determines the seasons and keeps our climate amenable to the development of life. Our moon also stabilizes Earth on its axis, so it's less wobbly than it would be otherwise.'

^ Donald just tweeted FAKE SCIENCE

I would like not to live on a more wobbly Earth, so well done the Moon


Back in the 70's there used to be a sci fi serious UFO, the aliens who threatened Earth

on a regular basis used to come from the far side of the Moon, I think so?


Perhaps the Chinese will let us know if they are still there?

I have a red birthmark on my face that increases in intensity according to the date of the moon. On full moon its the brightest. Sometimes people I sit with everyday ask me what happened, because they usually dont notice the scar, only when its brighter according to how big the moon is.

Moreover, people that suffer from depression also report that they are worse off during full moon compared to the rest of the time(read this somewhere, as well as was told by a crazy part time psychiatrist)

Who knows what else the moon is up to.

They've just announced that far from being made of cheese, it's made of Tofu.

Lily Allen will be gutted.

Anyway, why the **** didn't Moon Base Alpha shoot the probe down? Eagle Transporters on the blink due to defence cuts, AGAIN?

YT has the answers, Search  :   UFO (TV series) - (Intro & Outro)

( Don't tell him we're  just googling )


And here woz I finking your all cleverer than me

So, Pink Floyd were telling porkies.

Far side don't look as interesting as our side, does it?

The moon is in love with the sun,they have a steady relationship(just good friends sort of thing)and now the sun has heard that the moon was tricking with the earth oceans.so you may notice something different the next time you view the day and night sky i am told you can feel the  atmosphere,with the sun in bad form it might stay out all night long.

Hmmmmm

I AM THE MOON , and she is my Sun .[   This image is no longer available.   ]

I can see we need a wall like the Mexican Wall

We don't want too man immigrants coming from the far side round to our side mouse

Donald's on it already, and he's gonna get the martians to pay.
