I'm not disputing we have placed things into orbit or sent probes around the solar system. I'm not disputing Hubble (even though the images are touched up with those colours) and maybe I am mixing anti-war with anti-science.
The images arent touched up, if you want to understand color and Hubble, you need to read about it, I'm not teaching color and Hubble today.
However there are a number of scientists that have made it vocal that the radiation levels on the moon would be too high, as would venturing too far from near Earth orbit. They say that for a week long journey back in '69 it would have killed the astronauts and THAT is why Russia never made it.
Name a scientist today that says that, none do, we watch TV from satellites all that went through what 1940 scientists thought was metal destroying radiation.
What happened to Laika, and that monkey?
Oxygen deprivation for Laika, Lots of monkeys flew in space, the first two to survive landing were Able and Baker in 1959, Baker lived to the age of 27, dying in 1984, both he and Able are buried here in Huntsville on the grounds of the Space and Rocket center. You do understand that the Space Station (which I see fly over every few days) is higher then most of these early monkey flights that you think were killed by radiation apparently. I personally can verify the height of the space station and the shuttle when its up (or the russian resupply rocket) so I too am part of this huge conspiracy about space apparently. If you were talkinga about Chimps, the US sent two to space, Ham the Astrochimp who went into space in 1961, lived in the national zoo for years (I even fed him a banana there once) eventually passing away in 83, 22 years after rocketing into space.
If man did land on the moon then I'm sure we've been given a much glossier image of it than we should have. Such a feat would have incurred much higher casualties and would have taken a lot more time and money than a single economy could have coped with.
First of all how did they cover up the casualties in your mind. I mean I can watch the launches from Kennedy from my parents house, as can millions of others living in Florida, its pretty hard to sneak launch a rocket in the US. So rocket goes up, we know whos on it, we watch film from the rocket we watch as they get out of the rocket, we see interviews with them later, how exactly do you cover up the casualties. Everyone knew when we lost Apollo 1, everyone knew we lost Challenger, everyone knew we lost Columbia, big secrets are hard to keep in the US.
Anyway, I'm sceptical and not totally against the moon landings - but like the holocaust, which many are now questioning,
Holocaust happened, period, end of discussion. Moon Landing happened, period, end of discussion. With knowledge like you have the Flat Earth Society might be a good website for you to hang out on.
