  • Well... sorry for the spam, youtube started some maintenance while I was posting and something got badly screwed.

  • I still remember when LCROSS failed to dazzle.

    I was watching the mission live, I think on BBC (not sure), they made it look and sound like a complete failure and did not communicate the actual results, shame on them.

  • 19°14'50.55"S 117°29'13.04"E

    they should map this fast and show us the spaceship.

  • We are one step closer to stellar exploration.

    And shindigs on the Moon.

  • guy voice

    HOORAY!!!!!!!!!

  • The moon seems essential for further exploration of the solar system as a staging area, with a potential of indigenous production of space engines that would use small asteroids for vehicles.

  • un4g1v3n1

    You are so close! The conspiracy is that we never stopped going to the moon! There's a base on the far side, there always has been, and the moon colony recently declared it's independence from Earth, that's why we started bombing them!!

    A FREE MOON REVOLUTION!

    STOP THE TYRANNY!

    Mapping with lasers my ass! Ya'll had better stop this satellite from shooting lasers at the surface too, yer just pissin em off! They're gonna startt throwing rocks from up there and you know how that will go.

  • Looks like you fell for the disinfo tactic now being used by the worst slimeballs ever to try and prop up Apollo.

    Or you are dispensing it yourself.

    Which is it?

    Learn about the true environment in space within and beyond our magnetosphere...and free yourself from the horrific disinformation you are now spewing!

  • Oh lighten up un4g1v3n1 it's little kidding, just a joke. Boy you got a chip the size of the national debt on your shoulder don't you?

  • Well, I've seen enough of this kind of disinfo, supposedly being used seriously, to make me want to wretch. No chip...Just projectile vomiting...

  • @Saromatae lol wtf theres not a colony on the far side of the moon XD

  • @Pyroney AHA! See that is exactly what someone from a secret moon colony would say!

  • @Saromatae lol I smell major troll.

  • @Pyroney Oh come on dude it's a joke. Gotta lighten up.

  • A ten-second gamma burst from the sun emits more energy that the sun over the course of its lifetime, and we're the uneducated ones? 0_o

  • Alright then; you've got references? link them. I'll read. I don't promise to accept it all blindly though - I left the ranks of the conspiracy theorists a while ago.

    In the meantime, I present my references; google "Mythbusters moon episode" Any link should do

  • I left the ranks of the conspiracy theorists a while ago.

    Too bad you didn't join the ranks of the truth-tellers.

    Instead you sink to using the CT buzz word to denigrate that which you refuse to become yourself.

    I will send you just enough of the research to seek the truth on your own. Seeing it won't change you though.

    Only becoming truth, will allow you to be free of the illusions which surround you.

    PM to follow...take your time digesting.

  • LMAO, i love how any video on the moon brings out the conspiracy theorists. The moon is NOT fatally radioactive.

  • Several HUNDRED MILLION solar particles in every SQUARE INCH of SPACE, every SECOND, beyond the MAGNETOSPERE.

    NOW, add to that several DAILY GAMMA RAY BURSTS, of which a ten second burst emits the same amount of energy as will be emitted by our SUN in it's ENTIRE LIFETIME! Add X-RAY flares, Micrometeorites, VAB radiation, secondary LUNAR RADIATION (RADIATED FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS, as you see, it has no MAGNETOSPHERE).

    Only the uneducated, and intentionally ignorant still believe in Apollo!

  • The idiocy of this statement is so profound it beggars belief...

    So... the sun emits daily gamma ray bursts that emits the same amount of radiation in ten seconds as the sun does in it's life time...

    ...but comes from the sun...

    Epic Logic Fail there.

    Why in all that is sacred would I waste my time watching any video you made when you can't keep you story straight in 500 character comments?

  • @AnonEyeMouse

    GAMMA RAY BURSTS come from EXPLODING STARS. A ten second burst from one of them, is equivalent to the same amount of energy released by our sun in its' ENTIRE LIFETIME. Look it up, and quit twisting peoples words around. It makes you look like a twit!

  • @un4g1v3n1

    As best we can tell they happen at a rate of about one a day. That's across the entire observable universe. We have not detected such an event in our galaxy. That's just a numbers game. Now... do I have to explain to you the principle of 'very far away'? If I do, this is going to take far more than a 500 character comment to explain. You do not understand basic scale. Very big, very small, very far away.

    Feel free to leave it another year before responding.

  • pıɐs ɟɟnu˙˙˙ǝɯosǝʍɐ sı uooɯ ǝɥʇ

  • So when will we get "google--moon?"

  • already have it

  • It's already built into Google Earth, under the View / Explore menu... along with Mars and Sky maps. Also google . com/moon .

  • Some people will believe anything they show them on the television. Amazing humanity ever left the caves!

  • Uh, Little late on the LCross update

  • 0:10 THE DEATH STAR!!!

  • So the people that study the data & results, are they "planetary scientists?" The scientists that remotely study these bodies, what is their title and career field like? I want to do this.

  • I dont get it, Oct 9th happened almost a month ago. Has the data of the probe crash not been released yet?

  • It was released on the same day that NASA got the data, it was confirmed that the craters contains water.

  • this is old news

  • yay new narrator

  • moon tranquility.. and the man is coming: BOOM!!

  • Wow....And we were led to believe that lasesrs couldn't bounce off the moon well enough for accurate measurements without the use of retro-reflectors.

    When will NASA stop contradicting themself, or just quit LYING TO US!

  • That was then, this is now. Times change, and technology advances. What was not possible due to limits of technology becomes possible.

    Nobody is lying to you, you just don't understand the question or the answer.

  • "Nobody is lying..." about the subject at hand.  It's a cheap and fallacious argument to cite an unrelated subject.

    "...technology advances." We could return to the moon at about the same expense as last time. The issues are cost and motivation. I'm betting that the Chinese government will be the next to land humans on the moon, motivated by a desire for international prestige.

  • We could go there now, if money was no object... sadly the cost of doing it the American way is greater than the desire to go.

  • If money was an object, I suppose the millions upon millions thrown at the radiation obstacle alone would be out of the question.

    Why don't you take a long deep breath, pop that head of yours out of your ass, and learn a thing or two about the true space environment. Or do you have trouble sleeping at night without your precious Apollo Fairy Tales to rock you to la la land?

  • Hmmmm... resorting to insults already.

    The only significant radiation problem would be the van Allen Belt, an area where charge particles are captured by the magnetosphere of the Earth. It shields us but also concentrates that radiation. Luckily the sheilding on the Apollo vehicles added to the brief time spent crossing the belt renders the trip fairly safe.

    Outside that the amount of stellar gamma radiation is quite low and fairly safe to travel in. The higher frequencies are the problem...

  • As they are much more abundant, but the reflective aluminium of the suits and the fabrics themselves block those well enough. Would radiation be a problem for living in a moon base? You bet your arse it would but for what essentially was a day trip, the radiation on the moon was no real problem with the gear taken.

    If you don't believe me, go study up at an acreditted college on the physics of EM radiation rather than reading conspiracies on teh interwebs.

  • Again, I guess you are too much of a wimp to review the research I've done.

    Why don't you impress us all by explaining exactly what materials can block gamma radiation. And how effective aluminium is for blocking solar particles, and heavy Z particle radiation.

    Please, the masses await your genius!

  • "I guess you are too much of a wimp to review the research I've done. "

    More insults... Which peer reviewed journal did you publish your research in? Did you publish it under the name Dr. un4g1v3n1?

    As I said (you may have missed it, it was written in reality) the levels of gamma radiation are within tolerable levels on the moon - so no need to block them.

    It's a simple concept to grasp, if you fail to might I direct you to the ladybird book of science... unless that is too technical for you.

  • Again you ignore the numerous references in many of the videos I've produced about the radiation in space, on the moon, and in the radiation belts. I guess you would rather try to sound as if your educated, with complete fabrications, rather than deal with the truth. I know, it shatters your delusional Apollo Fairy Tale to pieces.

    If you wish to do more than look like an idiot, pretending to be smart, GOOGLE RADIOACTIVE MOON, and listen to what NASA has to say about the moon!

    WAKE UP!

  • "The only significant radiation problem would be the van Allen Belt."

    The constant solar wind, increasing in intensity with each solar flare is enough to kill any venturing beyond the magnetosphere. Why don't you try reading a few science journals, or articles written by space physicists before speaking out of your ass?

  • NASA builds space suits. These space suits are designed to protect against the additional radiation exposure in space. I'm not saying they protect the astronauts from absolutely everything, but I'm sure if people have been to the ISS and back and have not died, that the suits did the job just fine.

  • ah, wait... you don't believe that technology advances? seriously?

  • For NASA it seems technology doesn't advacne. Forty years ago they could easily whip on out to the moon, grab up some rocks, and zoom on back to Earth. Several times. Without incident.

    NOW: They have trouble even launching into LOW EARTH ORBIT, without everything being JUST RIGHT.

    And they won't be able to go to the moon until they get that pesky radiation problem solved. I guess space got more radioactive in the past 40 years.

  • do you believe it "seems" like technology does not advance or do you believe technology does not advance, which?

    or are you confusing advancing accomplishment with advancing technology?

  • I'm being sarcastic about NASA. First, I don't believe for a second they put men on the moon. If they did, it would have been possible to do so today, without constant delay, after delay, while they pursue the technology to do so.

    The FUNDING excuse is a strawman argument meant to avoid the obvious conclusion that the first moon landings were public relations/cold war propaganda stunts.

    Anyone with a working set of eyes and ears should be able to see the fake in NASA's own video/photos!

  • two questions

    1-when u say "i don't believe for a second they put men on the moon" are you also being "sarcastic" or literal.

    2-could you explain what you mean by "strawman," since

    a-the funding argument is a sound, directly relevant & factually verifiable cause for not returning to the moon &

    b-the funding argument contains no errors found in logical fallacies (e.g. strawman or red herring etc)

    unless u were being figurative, hyperbolic or sarcastic or something with ur use of "strawman."

  • Serious. No man has ever set foot on the moon. The radiation in space, as well as the secondary neutron radiation bouncing off the lunar surface make such a venture nothing more than fantasy.

    American/human PRIDE and EGO, blinds the unwitting dupes, rendering their intelligence void, critical thinking marred, and common sense inoperable.

    A quick look at AnonEyeMouse, trying to sound intellectual, while ignoring simple space radiation facts, is an excellent example!

  • ah, ok..

    several peer reviewed, scientific studies conclude neither radiation nor neutrons caused by cosmic rays impacting the lunar surface created a hazard to our astronauts

    moreover, we have a wealth of irrefutable physical lunar evidence, publicly studied & accepted by whole of the academic & scientific communities world-wide. even a friend of mine conducted a conclusive lunar mass-spec test

    what credible, real evidence do you have that's sufficient to contradict all of this?

  • I think he thinks that all those mars landings are fake, CG generated images too.

  • these are released a month after they are posted on their website noobs !

  • So there is water or no? How long until they know for sure?

  • 6 months or something

  • wait, 100 C?

    Sure they don't mean 100K?

  • No they mean 100C, enough to boil water, if there were any there to boil.

  • Pretty sure, how hot do you think The Earth's equator would get by late afternoon if days lasted a month, and there was no air of water to carry the heat away?

  • Yes confirm it on my birthday but damn didn't know the moon reached those temperatures.

  • it looked like the water probe just smashed all the ice or splashed the water or whatever

  • I just went to google earth/moon, very very cool! If you go to the very north point of the moon and zoom way way down it gets quite psychedelic :D

  • so no aliens founded?

  • soo the lady with the wierd accent got replaced huh ;D

  • HORRIBLE franglais accent you mean

  • masterdurchgriff@ That comment depends on the relative number of distinct languages the listener is able to speak correctly. At this time, it appears that the listener is trying to make fool of himself.

  • What the hell are you talking about Code? The lady narrator Marazuga and Calmdowngirl mentionned (Sandrine Ceurstemont) has a fat french accent this is not a matter of interpretation its a fact. I am french so I know what franglais sounds like. I have nothing personal against that women, she might even be a very nice person but her accent is simply unbareable.

  • I can bare it just fine - ergo you are wrong.

  • If you would bother to read the comments on the latest newscientistvid's (narrated by someone else now) you would see that I'm not the only one who is happy about this change.

  • I'm quite well aware of the many bigotted and often plain xenophobic comments that are made about the female narrator.

    You stated that her accent is unbearable. This is a statement about intrinsic quality and if true would mean that no one could bare to hear it.

    I can, many others can, so you were wrong.

    You personally may not be able to bare her accent, but the flaw is with you, not her.

    I actually find Belgians, especially flemish speakers, hard to understand, but I make the effort.

  • Your sentiment is good, but unfortunatly there is a critical mass of comments that indicate that a sizable percentage of watchers are really put off by her narrative skills. To me it's not accent or clarity of speach, it's intonation. The next logical step is to provide the channel with negative feedback on this woman's narrative skill as I precieve it. It's not a personal insult, and the problem lies with her performance, not me. If someone has to add in slurrs and insults, they are pricks, tru

  • Of the numerous complaints about Sandrine's voice the overwhelming majority are racially motivated... The fact that she has a noticable non- anglo-american accent generates great resentment that I suspect could only to beaten if she were replaced with an arab.

    Once you remove those bigotted and racist comments from your 'sizable percentage' it becomes insignificant compared to those who support her.

  • I really don't see what the problem is with her accent. I don't listen to the accent, I listen to the story, which to me is far more important. Of course, you probably don't care enough about the science to ignore the accent.

  • Apparently you can't read comments properly because I stated that I *don't care* about her accent, it's her intonation, her phrasing.

    And guess what smart ass, the reason I'm complaining is because I *do* care about science. That's why I'm giving feedback on the presentation of a scientific idea.

    Yulingo, I really resent that comment you made because science is my life. Your comment is childish in it's reasoning, you are nobody to come in on your high horse and slam me for giving legit feedback.

  • She is a lovely narrator as far as I am concerned. Cheers.

  • haha they just now released this video? this is old.

  • October 9th? that was 10 days ago? :S Or is it for next year?

  • LOL oops ;D

  • So when do we get GoogleMoon ?

  • lol GoogleMoon

  • There is a GoogleMars also

  • We already have that, just google "Google moon"

  • Wow that's so cool :-) Totally didn't knew that, thanks guys!

  • There were samples taken of the soil, but it was believed that the water in the samples were contamination of some kind rather than actual water. What Armstrong did was basically just hop around, took some pictures and brought back some dirt. Human space exploration is not exactly the most efficacy way to gathering data and it's believed that the only reason the US and Soviets even bothered with it was to show the world which was technologically superior, not to do anything really meaningful.

  • If a liquid is placed in a vacuum it will boil, and with The Moon's weak gravitational field, and total lack of a magnetic field any gases on the moon's surface will be stripped away by the solar wind over time, therefore If water is to survive on the moon for astronomical periods it must be kept permanently in the form of ice, and the only known place on the moon that this could happed is inside large polar craters. The Apollo missions visited areas close to the eqator.

  • They took samples but when they got back they were damp. It was assumed that they had been contaminated enroute. Turns out it was luna water... But we only just worked that out.

  • the ultimate goal is to colonize the moon.

    Question is, why ?

  • The answers are so many, I don't know where to start. But hey, here's a brief list:

    He3, knowledge, launch pad for further space exploration, knowledge, more knowledge, electromagnetic exploration without earthbased noise (far side of the moon), more knowledge, history of the young geology of the earth, giant telescopes free from weather tearing and atmospheric noise (and maybe in constant darkness of a deep crator), payoffs of the technology invented, curiousity... knowledge. And more.

  • It takes less fuel to escape the moons gravity than earths, so from the moon a mission to Mars will be more realistic.

  • Why not?  We are human. We do things. If we don't do something that expands our scope in some way, we stagnate or diminish. Why do we climb mountains? Why do we go to exotic locations on holiday? Why do we get up in the morning? Why do we exist?

  • "stop appearing ignorant to those who KNOW"

    YOU think you know?

  • now im no genius or anything but how the hell, in the videos of the moon landings, are the clunking, thud sounds being made when the guy is coming down the ladder??? Must be magical moon pixies carrying the sound to the microphone I guess

  • un4g1v3n1 ,I know what you are ! the new world order built you in a test tube ,his purpose to sow disinformation on you tube.

    I know this is true I read it on the Internuts ,

    and you people are to STUPID to see this !

  • very well could be... or the microphone in his suit he uses to talk pics up the sound inside the suit...

    I prefer the pixies however because real life scares me.

  • And yet the ROCKET ENGINE noise could not be heard.

    Epic fail...try again!

  • It isn't so much what you don't know that hurts you, it's what you know that isn't so.

    I'm afraid that you know a great deal that simply isn't so, and arrive at erroneous conclusions as a consequence. You are correct that there is radiation in space. Some is difficult to block. That which is hard to stop exists at known levels, and must be managed by limiting exposure. That doesn't mean zero exposure, just limited.

    Overuse of capital letters isn't emphasis, it's just annoying.

  • Wow, could you have been less specific, and uneducated?

  • Another cheap trick in argumentation, demand more detail than the forum allows. Lessons in basic physics and health physics take more than 500 characters.

    You are perfectly free to take your conspiracy theories seriously, just don't expect the rest of the world to do so.

    With that, I'm done feeding the trolls.

  • Yes. He could have been you.

  • Not all radiation damages you... some of it passes through and out the other side without leaving a trace...

    If you want more education, read something other than a conspiracy / flat earther website.

  • Ah, I SO love science! And in particular astronomy/astrophysics and so on. Nothing is more fascinating and interesting! A million stars rating for this video, hehe! You rule:)

  • ..... The probe must has landed in a crater of giant cotton balls...

  • this has already been confirmed..in one of the later moon landings some reflective units were placed to bounce a laser off the moon to track its distance from the earth.. there are extremely powerful lasers doing this work still today. so the fact that the laser is reflected back means the equipment was placed. there are pictures of its placement on the moon by the men who placed it.

    mythbusters spent a whole episode on the subject, i sugest you take a look. its very interesting stuff

  • +111111111

  • err.. they did... LRO already took pictures of the landing sites.. so the the Japanese and India's moon missions... why don't conspiracy people get confirmation on a clue?

  • the probe already crashed... stupid new scientists whole, 2 weeks later thingy

  • "...when a probe WAS crashed..."

  • 0:36 "This could be confirmed on October ninth WHEN a probe IS crashed into one of the craters to investigate." Yes they did wait to long to upload the video.
