Buzz did not say that. We've already been through that.

No, the Van Allen belt would not/did not kill them. But at least this is a decent question.

Here is the summary from wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt#Implications_for_space_travel

The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners.[32] The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them. Apollo flight trajectories bypassed the inner belts completely, passing through the thinner areas of the outer belts.[25][33]
Astronauts' overall exposure was actually dominated by solar particles once outside Earth's magnetic field. The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads (1.6 and 11.4 mGy), much less than the standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year set by the United States Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity.[32]

However, it's worth noting that a random solar flare could have killed them. That's a chance they were fully aware of and took.

No, because in Grand Theft Auto, we've got all kinds of ultra cool cars we can jack and ride around in, doing all kind of crazy shit.

An they run on oil.

I think it is a message, fossil fuel = fun, pumping fossil fuel into air = pumping fun into those internet tubes.

Topic should be merged, I notice another exists same subject.

The restaurant owner who asked for 1-star Yelp reviews

How one small business owner flipped the online review ecosystem on its head.



In 2014, chef Davide Cerretini advertised a special that would forever change his fate: Anyone who left his restaurant a 1-star review on Yelp would get 25% off a pizza.

See, his Bay Area-based Italian joint, Botto Bistro, was at a crossroads. Like many small businesses, it was enslaved to the whims of online reviewers, whose public dispatches could make or break its reputation.

He’d had enough: It was time to pry the stars from the “cold, grubby hands of Yelpers” and take control of his own destiny.

But the move would set Cerretini at the center of a long-standing battle between Yelp and disgruntled business owners — a battle including cries of “extortion,” review manipulation, and predatory advertising tactics.

There's really nothing primitive about the 1960s rockets used in the Apollo program.
These were designs largely of Werner Von Braun, and the outgrowth of his designs used by the Germans during the second world war.

The Apollo flight computer was quite capable of handling the major segments of the flight to and from the moon, including landing on the moon, take off and re entry once near Earth.

One rather interesting thing was that all navigational instructions and course corrections/deviations was via voice channel, exactly as air traffic control operated, and still operates today.

Prove it had cardboard box and roofing paper.

I merit this.

I've never even seen a logically consistent "didn't go moon" theory.

Like, okay. But did Apollo 8 go AROUND THE MOON? Did Grissom and the others die? Are there unmanned landers on the Moon? Where did our moon rocks come from if we didn't go there?

The rock issue is for me the big one, because one look at those rocks under a scope and if you have a slight understanding of geology, you know they didn't come from Earth. no way no how.

Arbitrary always follows censor.

Obviously the world is not better off if a group of people in San Francisco and San Jose determine what they can see on Youtube.

I wonder if a user / group consensus on such decisions is possible. It works with Wikipedia.

1) I don't care why some dead guy's estate donated a wrong rock to NASA 19 years later. Most likely because someone stole the (highly valuable) actual rock.

2) You've been corrected, live with it.

3) Yes, they used up the equipment in the production runs. For space flight projects. Wouldn't have done much good sitting around on the ground right?

4) Now you're really not thinking.

123:59:39 on the flight clock the LRRR were laid down

The laser ranging retro-reflector was deployed during the first extravehicular activity approximately 43 meters (140 feet) west-southwest of the Apollo lunar surface experiment package central station. Leveling and alignment were accomplished with no difficulty. The McDonald Observatory team initially acquired a return signal from the Apollo 15 instrument August 3, 1971, when atmospheric conditions first permitted ranging.

5,6,7,8) Those have been clearly debunked, don't double down on stupid.

But if you really want to, go for it!

All of the original photography is available on the NASA archives. Do you know how to find it, or are you the moronic slave of your Youtube Overlords?

There's a story behind the moon rock fake, and you can easily look it up. But WTF? Let's do it for you, how is that?

The rock was given as a private gift to former prime minister Willem Drees Jr in 1969 by the U.S. ambassador to The Netherlands, J. William Middendorf II, during a visit by the Apollo 11 astronauts, Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin, soon after the first moon landing. Drees had been out of office for 11 years, but was considered an elder statesman.

When Drees died in 1988, the rock was donated to the Rijksmuseum.

So 19 years after Astronaut gives the rock to X, X dies and rock goes to Museum. Who knows what happened in that time frame to the real rock? (And who cares?)

You've believed a misquote from Buzz.

The child didn’t ask Buzz Aldrin if he ever went to the moon. Rather, she posted the question “Why has nobody been to the moon in such a long time?” to the astronaut. When Aldrin said in reply that “we didn’t go there” and “that’s the way it happened,” he was referring to the fact that the U.S. has sent no missions back to the moon since the final Apollo spaceflight took place in December 1972, not asserting that he had never been to the moon in the first place.

The didn't DESTROY the tech, they used it all up. Like the remaining Saturn rockets were used for the Spacelab missions.

Transcripts say nothing about a retro reflector? Really? You will find them talking about placing the experiment package and deploying it. But you'd have to know the name of the package to understand that, right?

5,6,7 and 8 are garbage.

I'm not convinced "demonetization" is a problem.

The vacuum that's created when Youtube cuts off peoples' income stream creates a huge business opportunity for other startups.

The censorship will likely backfire.

This is going to head to a Supreme Court decision on what these companies are and what they can do. Are they private companies, that can do anything they want?

I don't think it's going to turn out that way, any more than a black man can be kicked out of a store because it's a "private business."

Why do I have a feeling the best is yet to come?

What part?

Apollo launches through 8? 9? 10? 11?

Did the Saturn V exist?

Did the LEM exist?

What are the artifacts on the Moon at the exact locations of the Apollo landings?

First of all, never misunderestimate a pump shotgun in the hands of a trained user.

Second, I do get the impression the message here is "Westerners, shut up. Muslims, be as offensive as you want."

The entire Moon has been imaged and digitized at < 1/2 meter per pixel.

The database includes all the Apollo landing sites, and they show up quite clearly.

This was done starting in 2009 with the polar orbiting LIDAR.

A complete debunking of these idiotic Moon Conspiracy theories is as close as Wikipedia.

Do you sleep in a pyramid shaped tent with your power crystals too?

if you DON'T LIKE the Saudi connection, better think about the alternatives.

More Muslim Brotherhood?

I'm not sure why you are pushing these lies and propaganda items. There were x number of layers in Obama's BC because that's the structure of the PDF file, nothing to do with the government.

It's interesting how truly dumb this discussion is. There was nothing like photoshop in the days of Apollo.

As for the Earthrise photos, you and whatever paid shill did that picture are truly idiots.

The Earth is in the same position in the Lunar sky, when viewed from the surface. This is because the Moon orbits the Earth with the same side facing the Earth always.

It does not "rise" like the Moon does on Earth. When photos are taken from a ship orbiting the Moon, then of course the Earth will at one point rise above the horizon.
