Zoomer here. What was it like to watch it live?

so why no one has gone back? don't we have 100 times better and more reliable technolgy now to the point faggots plan to open hotels up there?

>stars during the day
lmfao okay zoomy

Don't read the spoiler if you don't want to be redpilled.

space isn't real

So?

If the Soviets were so cool how come they collapsed and got mogged by China?

Yeah thus proving my point, they ran out of money after hitting all those feats

>live streaming space during the 60s
???????????
there was no internet/zoom/skype back then?

I don't care what some literal who says, it was real and will be done again in the near future

Were the 1950s as great as they seem?

>don't we have 100 times better and more reliable
actually microprocessors get shredded by beta/gamma rays which would be harmless to people. the apollo computer was 70lbs of metal and as strong as an 8 function calculator. that's the only type of artificial computer that can cross the van allen belt.

or 60s?

its too expensive. NASA got nearly 5% of the federal budget in the 60s even at the same time they were spending trillions on the Vietnam war. Today that money has to go to the POCs and Diversity and Equity along with a huge military budget. NASA is even boasting that the purpose of their current moon program is to put a POC and Female on the moon , but why? Because its all bullshit and they aren't going to do shit.

Boomers who remember '69 don't browse Yea Forums, zoom zoom.

then how did they send robots to Mars?

The space shuttle wasn't capable of going beyond low earth orbit
We could have gone back in the 90s for a round 50 billion if we still had a heavy lift rocket like the Saturn V instead of replacing it with the shuttle
The shuttle was also the most expensive to fly spacecraft ever made
It singlehandedly set back spaceflight at least 30 years
The SLS is the modern day Saturn V and is intended to get us back on the moon by 2024 (likely longer due to government graft and incompetence)

The average boomer was either too high or too young to remember what the fuck even happened.

why not google it yourself?

Radiation shielding/hardened electronics

Boomers actually believed Stanley Kubrik's "The Moon Landing" was real. LMAO.

Russia isn't real. There hasn't been a real 'country' since WWI ended. Russia was just controlled Op.

This but unironically

What are your thoughts on Freemasonry?

aye.. it's fake and gay

t. Tokyo Rose

no one knew it was fake because no mass awakening events happened yet
bad things=good because now you're more aware to the evils of this world and are now open to radical change and knowledge

I suspect it's the 'public face' of insidious organizations. The real organization isn't being parodied in The Simpsons.

What’s the point of going back? There’s not much of interest on the moon. NASA is planning on launching a probe to Europa in 2024, that’s where the juicy shit is.

I'm right
We could have had at the very least far larger space stations and more deep space probes if we had just reused Saturn and Apollo hardware instead of building the shuttle

Cringe and reddit

It was absolutely far out man. My Dad was super stoked and let me stay up late. I sat in front of the boob tube with a hug pitcher of Mountain Dew.

very dubious claim, zoomie

Ok pal, what do you think set space travel back?

Space shuttle price per kilogram to orbit: approx 60,000 accounting for design and development costs
Proton (Soviet rocket) price to orbit per kilogram: approx 5,000

Boomers really believed this was real? LMAO

Computers have gotten way better, but rockets have not changed that much. Only recently have we had a big breakthrough with reusable boosters making things cheaper but there's still only one one company doing it with large rockets.
The real reason we haven't gone back to the moon yet is money and politics though.

do you even aerozine 50, m8?

it's a comedy

if you watch that and you cant debunk it..sry m8.. ngmi

>shadman

this is the Yea Forums board so i assume there is at least a few people familiar with film as a material and will hear me out on this
film has a bunch of emulsifiers suspended in gelatin, and if you get the pressure below around 5 PSI the emulsifiers start to boil out of the film
this can be tested and re-tested by anyone with a vacuum pump and a roll of film
so it is a confirmed fact that the moon landing was faked because as soon as they stepped outside of the LEM with their hasselblad, they would be leaving the 5 PSI environment and entering a vacuum with a power of torr -12
the alleged photos show no damage to the emulsifiers in the film. please give me a fucking break here guys it was all a hoax they orbited the earth not the moon

>soviets
you mean german scientists who were also the first people into space? thanks hitler

>the lower pressure on the moon makes the rocket plume spread out more
Is that why there is 6 inches of super fine moon dust right next to the lander?

Yea Forums be like:
>DUDE THIS IS SOOO FAKE HAHAHAHAHA
Yea Forums also be like:
>THE OSCARS WOULD NEVER FAKE THE SLAP FOR PUBLICITY YOU SCHIZO!!!

the film was insulated

Here's the giga redpoll;
We landed on the moon but the camera broke so they had to film it in a studio

If the slap was faked, they would have used two white actors
Don't want to make blacks look bad

you're overestimating the amount of thrust the lander produced, it was at low throttle with most of the fuel gone when it touched down
additionally the engine cut off when the contact probes below the feet touched the surface, and the lander gently fell the last few feet.

exhaust expansion is visible on Earth as rockets ascend through the atmosphere, it's also part of the reason rockets typically use multiple stages with a vacuum optimized engine in the upper stage

Can someone explain why they were autistic about space beyond making better nukes? I'm no commie but I feel like it'd be a waste of resources and labour.

Recent years have made it pretty clear the government is extremely incompetent at everything except lying and creating propaganda. I wouldn't be shocked if the moon landing was fake at this point.

I saw one of these take off in LA without any warning. Needless to say I was pretty fucking awestruck. Seeing this in person is completely surreal. If you don't know what it looks like, you would never guess it was a rocket taking off.

explain further

Without religion, you have to have something else for people to look forward to in the future. For liberals, it's no racism, no sexism etc and for communists it was the idea of a prosperous future that justifies all the horrors that communism was
Space Travel represented this dream extremely well

they're pretty amazing to see in the evening when the sun is just low enough to illuminate the exhaust from over the horizon

Explain the hard shadows then, what setup did they have at studio to evenly light everything, from just one source and with such power that there's not even a trace of soft shadow anywhere?
Bear in mind, they would have to do this for every single angle, every single shot they faked, while keeping the pitch dark parts consistently black.

With the technology that was available back then, how did they manage to emulate the mother fucking Sun on camera?

The sparks aren't even to scale

The spaces shuttle was so fucking stupid.
>Let's reuse something that vibrates violently for half an hour as it leaves Earth and goes into SPACE, just to appease some fat senator who doesn't know a fucking thing about space exploration and thinks it's "too expensive, make something reusable" that ends up costing more but he got his wish so he thinks he won.
