When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions - Ordinary Supermen

[bjknngbhh]

Thumbs up if you came because you found out Gary Sinse was narrating

so did they really land on the moon? i mean who the *uck believes what the government says anyway. They' d sell their own soul to the devil just to make some more money and keep themselves to power.

[YDDES]

@6SpAr6TAN69 It's not the government that says they landed on the Moon. It's scientists and journalists all over the world who witnessed it in real time.

you cant see stars on the moon because they only go to the day time side. do we see stars during the day on earth? only the sun. they only go to the day side of the moon because no atmosphere on the moon, means no light scatter. on the moon even in day light, your shadow is pitch black. you cannot see your glove in front of your mask if it is in a shadow. you would trip on a rock, even if you were "looking" straight at it.

LOL o plz, nasa landed on the moon 4 times 40 yrs ago when tv's were still black and white? im sorry, i dont believe it, even today its almost freaking impossible to fix the restrooms in the space station.

if nasa had men on the moon 40 yrs ago, we should have been having a man on mars by now, reply and say "oh ur dumb we did land on the moon" i dont care what u say to me, now i see why this whole world is laughing at america

first of all,there were colour televisions in 69'. Rofl. second, you're dumb for not knowing why we didn't get to mars yet. we don't have the necessary technology. it would take 2.5 years to travel back and forth to mars, also we're not sure if the resources would be enough. but,yes, travel to the moon is possible and did indeed happen. get a telescop and watch the moon's surface,you might see the apollo landings.

[f8ckutub]

you seem to like nokia pretty well. ever wonder where the first wireless headsets like bluetooth were developed? i'll give you a hint. Plantronics was sub contracted by NASA.

as for why we havent yet gone to Mars: politics. NASA is not one big happy group of scientists. There've always been bitter struggles b/w different groups w/ unique agendas. The shuttle can't get us to Mars. The ORION will. Bone and muscle loss and other physiology needs to be sussed out b4 we snd ppl 2 space for 2.5 years.

Another one of the biggest challenges in getting a crew to Mars and back is coming up with a way to create and store the hundreds of meals that it will take to keep the astronauts fed for the long duration of the trip. There was a big article about it in the LA Times last month. Too bad we can't be put in suspended animation like they did on Planet Of The Apes. heheheh.

[TheJomogogo]

It was 6 times, not 4, and believe it or not, they even had color TV back then. Let me make sure I'm getting your "logic".

1. We don't have men on mars today.

2. Therefore no one landed on the moon in 1969.

That about the extent of your reasoning ability?

[slowmocrow]

You are flat at ignorant. Do some research before you criticize the hard work of your fellow country men. In 1969 we did land Apollo 11 on the moon after years of hard work. Why don't we go to mars you ask? Well we don't have the money. If NASA got even a fraction of what the war in Iraq gets we could do it and much much more. .

[slowmocrow]

It has absolutely nothing to do with our Space Program which is fantastic. Stop demeaning the 10s of thousands of men that worked on the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs who did fly to space, and did LAND on the moon...

[brianwilson49]

they say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and you have displayed that wonderfully. thanks.

TVs were black and white! LOL on fucking LOL! tvs were not only bkac and white then fool.

fising a rest room in space is rather more difficult than emptying a bag from a pipe that was shoved up your arse which is the technology they used in apollo. primitive but effective.

the reason why no one has been back to the moon is political and economical, you fucking idiot.

[mummygrabber]

I believe we did reach the moon. First off, when you look at it in terms of distances in space, the moon is like driving to the local supermarket. Not that far. They are intertwined by so many factors that make a trip to the moon feasible. Making a manned trip to Mars, however, that might not be possible.... Yet.

[halkirkian]

it is, but mars is uninhabital. at the moment...

[fanbutton]

Five stars - yep that's all we did was leave earth...nothing more.

[MonumentalDivide]

It took the Russians to motivate the Americans to enter space............Now, hopefully, it will be the Chinese that motivate the USA to bring back jobs.

[cth12345]

great

[JumpingMusic]

I agree.

Discovery rocks

I love the word "disc" in it... :)

[PazdziochNapada]

When we left earth,we will be cool.

Discoery-one of the best channels :)
