@imranite Yeah but still. That would be such a strange experience being in such a small space for about a week with no chance of getting out. I hope they're no claustrophobic! Still, that must have been so amazing to be a part of the Apollo program. It's also strange comparing the size of the Apollo space craft and the size of the space shuttle. Both ships were truly amazing!
@pcvideogamer They went did a few orbits and then came back home. The main reason they have not dont it since is because the Apollo craft were made to go to the moon and back. The current craft are not equiped to do so.
@pcvideogamer Neither the shuttle or the ISS were designed to go past low earth orbit. To go to the moon a new space craft would have to be designed thats what the Constellation program was for before it lost funding. Go look it up. It is rather interesting.
@Enatbyte lost funding? damn... cuts everywhere, i will check it out dude thanks, there are people you know who say it was staged, the moon landings i mean, would you give this idea and credence? i find it impossible to understand how this could of ever been done.
@pcvideogamer I wouldn't. Why would we fake it. For how much effort they would have had to have done to cover up faking it they might as well have gone to the moon! It would have been difficult to go to the moon but if you review the Apollo program their methods were sound. I have no doubt in my mind that we landed on the moon. If we wanted to fake it why would we have faked landing six times? Why not land once and end the program? Also why would we fake Apollo 13? Why invent a disaster?
Would a remote controlled lunar landing of the LM been a reasonable first step...to preceed the manned lunar landing? Was this done? I'm not a rocket scientist...but the Apollo 11 lunar landing really was a giant leap from testing in earth orbit to actually landing astronauts on the moon...on live TV...
Perhaps. But they went ahead and stuff Neil and Buzz in the golden spider anyway. I think NASA are planning for a remotely (or autonomously) controlled Altair cargo lander for Constellation.
Apollo 10 was tested in Lunar orbit, and broke orbit and came within 15.6 kilometers of landing. I would say an actual landing was the logical next step.
wow, trowing a flashlight back and forward? they have no imagination! there are endless things I'd do in zero gravity conditions :D

why hasn't the space-shuttle or the space-station gone any further out then these guys? they went almost to the moon right?

@Citybust
thats tottaly wrong, gravity it the most important thing we have
without it we wouldnt live....
the air and anything the earth itself is pulled to a ball by its own gravity any thing a moon a planet or a sun is round because of the gravity
and the gravity lets the moon fly in its orbit , like the spaceships do, and if gravity wouldnt be there then we would have NEVER existed

That's Tom Stafford and John Young on camera, Gene Cernan off camera. Young walked on the moon later on Apollo 16, Cernan on Apollo 17.
Stafford was on the Apollo Soyuz Test Project 1975,

The Russians did that, yes. I don't know about the Americans.

It does look like fun, mind you: you need a pretty strong stomach for zero g.

reminds me of parts of apollo 13, which used the illustreus 'vomit comet' for its zero g.
