The Sun causes space weather - but Earth's weather could be responsible too.

  • @un4g1v3n1 "Corner mirrors are important scientific instruments because, when struck precisely by a laser beam, they reflect that beam in a parallel path straight back to the source of the laser."

    Get it? Do you not know how this reflector works and why what you've said is irrelevant? Sure the moon might reflect lasers but the moon will never return the same path on an obscure angle like it does with the reflector...

    You fucking idiot.

  • @Jebus495 Lasers are easily bounced off of the moon surface. Ask the Russians, and MIT people who did it in '62 and '63.

    You are wrong from the get go...

  • @un4g1v3n1 You must be on disinfo commission or some shit.

    We went to the fucking moon.

    "sitting in the moondust, lies a 2-foot wide panel studded with 100 mirrors pointing at Earth: the "lunar laser ranging retroreflector array." Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong put it there on July 21, 1969, about an hour before the end of their final moonwalk. Thirty-five years later, it's the only Apollo science experiment still running."

    Get the coords and a laser to prove me wrong.

  • @Jebus495 Really? You think with billions of dollars a year NASA could have afforded to do that. Guess you trolls have now completely lost your minds...

  • @un4g1v3n1 If you buy a fancy telescope you can look at the stuff we left on the moon.

    >.>

  • Rethinking space weather? Thought they had that all thought through when they sent radiation-proof test pilots into it, in Tan cans back in the late 60's and early 70's?

    Anyone who still believes in Apollo live in utter ignorance, or with a severe case of cognitive dissonance!

  • @deliriosdelsol you know there are rivers and oceans and you can turn salt water to clean water WITH SCIENCE I laugh at you if you cant survive in the wilderness :D

  • @deliriosdelsol You know those satellites that we sent up to see how the sun is acting in real time? They're part of the defense against the suspected storm to minimize danger to our way of life, just thought you should know.

  • @deliriosdelsol 90% of this world knows nothing but what happened at the grammys and whos next sex tape is coming out next. This country is run behind hidden bullshit and anyone that tries to find the truth is instantly called a liar or "insane" or its a conspiracy. The government doesnt care about anything but their checkbook and there own lying ass.
