That's an awful lot of talking about man on man action. You fucking military guys are something else! Count me out!

That's an awful lot of talking about man on man action. You fucking military guys are something else! Count me out!
Subscribed to the thread and two weeks of nothing. All of a sudden my email blows up and I come and read every post. Confused as shit right now and would love for someone to answer one question for me.
DID WE LAND ON THE FUCKING MOON OR NOT?
TIA
DID WE LAND ON THE FUCKING MOON OR NOT?
TIA
Let me ask you this:
We landed on the moon 40 years ago. Since that time......we can barely get a ship into the air without it blowing up.
We can't launch one of these things if a cloud is in the sky.......it can't land if the weather isn't exactly right......Tiles meant to keep the people in the damned thing ALIVE, pop off during the ship's descent........BUT, Forty years ago...........a tin can was shot 239,000 miles and plopped, with accuracy, on a small rock in space?
This same can, which needed TEAMS of men and science to launch from Florida, just "started up and left" the surface of the moon like you or I leave the driveway in the morning?????? kurby
I think about how far science and technolgy has grown over forty years, and it's amazing!
Then......I look at the space program, and think, "not so much". :shrug:
The answer to your question is 4

This was the prime of "The Greatest Generation"
We can turn pee into Evian
Greatest Generation
Accuracy, Size and Distance are all relative. It would be like an ant walking 10 feet to give an elephant a tic-tac
Probably why Tiger doesn't get to be an Astronaut
Tempur-Pedic Mattress - You can bounce a fucking bowling ball next to a glass of red wine on one of these things and it won't spill.
I'm not even a moon buff. Wait til we talk chem trails. I'm going to blow your mind
My wife doesn't post here YYZ but she told me to tell you that I'm just messing with you
Just have her make a reply to this post in about a month because you're too chicken shit to, and take it from there. :00hour

While we?re on the subject of the passage of time, exactly how much time do you suppose will have to pass before people in significant numbers begin to question the Moon landings? NASA has recently announced that we will not be returning, as previously advertised, by the year 2020. That means that we will pass the fifty-year anniversary of the first alleged landing without a sequel.
Will that be enough elapsed time that people will begin to wonder? What about after a full century has passed by? Will our history books still talk about the Moon landings? And if so, what will people make of such stories? When they watch old preserved films from the 1960s, how will they reconcile the laughably primitive technology of the era with the notion that NASA sent men to the Moon?
Consider this peculiar fact: in order to reach the surface of the Moon from the surface of the Earth, the Apollo astronauts would have had to travel a minimum of 234,000 miles*. Since the last Apollo flight allegedly returned from the Moon in 1972, the furthest that any astronaut from any country has traveled from the surface of the Earth is about 400 miles. And very few have even gone that far. The primary components of the current U.S. space program ? the space shuttles, the space station, and the Hubble Telescope ? operate at an orbiting altitude of about 200 miles.
(*NASA gives the distance from the center of Earth to the center of the Moon as 239,000 miles. Since the Earth has a radius of about 4,000 miles and the Moon?s radius is roughly 1,000 miles, that leaves a surface-to-surface distance of 234,000 miles. The total distance traveled during the alleged missions, including Earth and Moon orbits, ranged from 622,268 miles for Apollo 13 to 1,484,934 miles for Apollo 17. All on a single tank of gas.)
To briefly recap then, in the twenty-first century, utilizing the most cutting-edge modern technology, the best manned spaceship the U.S. can build will only reach an altitude of 200 miles. But in the 1960s, we built a half-dozen of them that flew almost 1,200 times further into space. And then flew back. And they were able to do that despite the fact that the Saturn V rockets that powered the Apollo flights weighed in at a paltry 3,000 tons, about .004% of the size that the principal designer of those very same Saturn rockets said would be required to actually get to the Moon and back (primarily due to the unfathomably large load of fuel that would be required).
To put that into more Earthly terms, U.S. astronauts today travel no further into space than the distance between the San Fernando Valley and Fresno. The Apollo astronauts, on the other hand, traveled a distance equivalent to circumnavigating the planet around the equator ? nine-and-a-half times! And they did it with roughly the same amount of fuel that it now takes to make that 200 mile journey, which is why I want NASA to build my next car for me. I figure I?ll only have to fill up the tank once and it should last me for the rest of my life.

Making some of the comparisons this author made... he might as well argue that an apple is an inferior fruit to the orange because you can't peel it with your fingers.
it just don't compute.
I can't sleep dude. Jacked up over the TIDE's win and looking forward to whipping the Titans later today.
