Another look at the moon landing.

Imagine actually believing that we were cruising around in dune buggies and playing golf on the moon in the 60's

Silly isn't it ? Next they'll be telling us they've found water & they are about to open an Olympic pool just for the astronauts :swimmer:

How are they going to acheive landing on a wondering star ?

Orbital mechanics. The easiest way is to use a low consumption trajectory available during certain periods when Mars and the Earth are at a particular distance relative to each other in their orbits. It is also possible to further reduce fuel on both ends using a gravity assist, where you use the acceleration from nearly orbiting a planet or moon (Mars has two small moons) for additional Δv

Just lol


Yes, almost as crazy as the thought that in the early 90s the general public gained access to a self-healing packet switched communications network capable of supporting geometric increases in bandwidth, year over year, allowing people to make video calls and stream movies, and being automatically self-healing in the event part of the network such as a routing and switching center goes down unexpectedly due to an equipment fire or fiber optic cables being cut without even an interruption in user traffic, since such a system would have to break up messages into packets and reassemble them.

Or that we would have reliable wireless communications anywhere on the planet except underground or in certain buildings, and that this wireless communication has been integrated into the global network

Or that we could manufacture transistors less than five nanometers in size by using extreme ultra violet light generated by vaporizing droplets of tin using high-powered lasers.

Crazy ideas people have…

I’ll be back, because one of the line printers of my electromechanical mainframe is out of paper, and the keypunch I am using to produce the punch cards for this conversation keeps jamming.

They'll need some cows that eat moon dust, then they'll have both beef and cheese. But where to get the gherkins....I "wonder"....

Lunar greenhouses could potentially allow us to grow massive cucumbers, several times larger than on Earth, due to the low gravity.

I think his intention was to leave us with the truth :praying:

All that is needed is fertiliser and water.
I've got an idea. Send up a couple of flat earthers. They will be in constant denial, so you've immediately got one of the largest rivers in Africa on tap, and, well, because they are full of it...

Hopefully it will be uneconomic to transport the cucumbers back to earth. If successful, perhaps all cucumber production could be moved to the moon and thus make the earth a cucumber free zone. This would greatly improve all salads.
