god damn it we know that there are rock aliens (Apollo 18) and fuckin transformers on the moon, its a suicide mission!

military secrecy..."top secret,alien settlement"...damn

I kind of expected a walk on the moon with A HD-camera, why isnt there any moon-surface video?!

id volunter to go

@andreash94, a rat? sure? Not a mouse, a gerbil, a hamster, a frog, a squirrel or a video anomaly? Did you notice that the rat jumped in exactly the opposite direction as a bright reflection off of Aldrin's helmet on the exact opposite side of the image? Hmmm.

Since our moon was previously part of the Earth, It has enormous amount of high grade heavy metals and rare metals that can be used in computers, electronics, communications, avionics, radar and guided missiles.

You do if you want to measure the distance to the moon with any accuracy.

And 'that' was the point.

With the mirrors and the vastly greater photon return rate from them the distance to the moon can be measured to a few centimeters. A feat impossible without them.

Once again, NatGeo screws things up again and again and again. The "described" video of an approach to the Apollo 11 landing site from the orbiting probe was actually showing the craters Aristarchus and Herodotus (nowhere near the Sea of Tranquility). There is no permanent "dark side" of the moon. Why can't they do just a *little* research and do a better job of really telling what the facts are instead of just presenting disjointed and inaccurately described video sequences?

@FLASHGORDON0071, one doesn't need a retroreflector to bounce a laser off the moon, but if you don't want to waste time fishing through overwhelmingly useless photons and if you want accuracy, you use the retroreflectors. They are there. They increase exact photon return by 1,000s of times. I suggest you chat with a lunar laser ranging astronomer. You'd be fascinated.

I believe that astronauts have landed on the moon, but this video is one piece of animated bullshit. I've seen CGI better than this. Nigger please.
