  • We should never have stopped going to the moon.

    In 40 years we could have had a well established colony.

    Some day, if we survive our own selves, we will need to leave this planet.

  • you are the most stupid person on this planet its been proved we did go to the moon by the hubble telescope and the latest moon orbiter they both have zoomed in on all the apollo landing sites and all the gear is still there including the rovers and all the scientific stuff and the footprints!! oh and by the way dickhead where did over 850 pounds of moon rock come from?? thick idiot.

see all

  • @arnie883 Nobody's but the yanks themselves have ever seen those mythical "850 pounds" of moon rock.

    Guess what, with that treasure trove under their hand, the amount of moon rock the yanks have provided to international research can be counted in grams!

    USSR has provided more moon rock to USA than USA to USSR!

    HOAX! HOAX! HOAX!

    Thanks for your input!

    Over 160 meteorite impact craters have been identified on Earth and several new sites are found each year. The Oxygen isotopes in some of the tektites which fall to Earth are so similar to the Oxygen isotopes of Earth's own rocks that the only explanation available is that these rocks formed in the same vicinity as Earth did in the Solar system... therefore scientists deduced that these tektites must have come from the Moon.

  • @yaluobud Even if scientists wanted to make something like a Moon rock by, say, bombarding an Earth rock with high energy atomic nuclei, they couldn't. Earth's most powerful particle accelerators can't energize particles to match the most potent cosmic rays, which are themselves accelerated in supernova blastwaves and in the violent cores of galaxies.

  • @yaluobud Lunar meteorrites are rare. There are fewer than 30 meteorites known to be pieces of Earth's Moon (lunar meteorites). The total weight of all recovered moon meteorites is less than 10kg (compared to hundreds of lunar samples returned by Apollo missions). Lunar meteorites also bear the telltale signs of coming to earth through the atmosphere. The moon rocks do not.

  • @Synthetrix

    Rocks flew all the way to Earth, from the Moon as a result of a collision with an asteroid. All over the world you can pick up Moon stones. When the Crater Tyco was formed on the Moon approximately 700,000 years ago, debris from the collision was blasted into space. The impact was so great that parts of the Moon flew off into space. Earth collected some of this material as it swept through the scattered debris. Gene Shoemaker and Don Gault agreed with Dr Chapman's findings.

  • @yaluobud More BS. Moon rock samples have been given to scientific labs around the world. All have independently geologically verified them as genuine. The moon rock that was given to the dutch is believed to have been stolen while in a private collection and substituted with the petrified wood. This is the only incident like this and hardly accounts for the 840 lbs of lunar samples return on the Apollo missions.

  • @yaluobud That sounds like a highly dodgy apocryphal tale to me. 'the guy who was in charge of the tracking dish realized...' etc etc. Again, I return you to my earlier point; don't you think the Russians would have noticed that there were no signals coming from the moon? given that they had sent several probes to the moon in previous years.

  • @yaluobud Van Allen himself states that this is not true. The radiation recieved by the astronauts was low. The metallic structure of the spacecraft prevented most of the the high energy particles reaching them. The timing and direction of the trans lunar coast was chosen to minimuse exposure to the radiation belts

  • @tommyboomboom

    Of course NASA built the rockets, and sent them into orbit, but flying through the van Allen Radiation Belts would have fried the astronauts ~ hence the need to make a movie instead.

    As for some science, the samples of moon rock encapsulated in plastic resin spheres mounted on wooden stands that the US proudly gave various countries as souveniers was examined by Holland and found to be petrified wood. Ha Ha, now we have trees on the moon.
