I need to know what the point of spending thousands of US dollars on space trips is meant for. I don't know what we've accomplished and found beneficial to society and the overall growth of human living by having money and such being tossed for the government to send random men up into space. I don't understand why space travel is so necessary. Please tell me how the moon launchings weren't fake, or needed for the human race.

i think we are searching for other planet for pissing on it too

Actually, no, he does not "need to know" what the point of spending.... on space is meant for.

And he doesn't need to be told how the moon launching weren't fake.

We need to be how how he isn't fake.  And what the point of us reading his postings is meant for.  I don't know what we've accomplished and found beneficial to society, reading his crap.  And listening to his complaining.

Particularly since he's fake.

Lol oh wow. If you have a problem with sonebody, it doesnt make sense to click on their threads trying to start issues. What kind of idealistic nonsense. Please go twirl your hair and flirt with a thirteen year old girl, per usual.

Back on topic though, I still deserve to know if they were real or not because they're using my money to fund that unneeded bullshit.

The answer is MONEY. And it isn't just the money that NASA directors and higher-ups get to keep. It is much bigger than that. It involves the whole debt-money system. It works something like this.

All new money on the books comes from borrowing money. Bank loans are not loans. They are creations of new money, which, btw, rip the borrowers off and enrich the bankers.

Since all new money is made by somebody borrowing, where does the money come from to pay back the interest? I mean, if the loan is completely repaid, where does one get money to pay the interest, since all the money was borrowed? If it is all paid back, there isn't any money any more, to pay the interest or anything else.

The only way to pay the interest is to borrow more money through a second loan to pay the interest on the first loan.

The money system is way beyond this. In fact, the money system needs people to borrow for whatever reason, just so that more money can be created to pay off the gigantic amount of interest that is being made all the time... made because new loans are being created all the time. Viscous cycle.

There are rules set in place for who can borrow/create how much new money. Your credit report is a little part of the rules. The rules are designed to keep the borrowing from going beyond what appears to be the ability to repay... repay by borrowing/creating enough more money for repayment purposes (of course, after it has done the job for which it was created/loaned in the first place). If there weren't any rules, the system would balloon and implode, or people would realize what was happening and how they were being ripped off by the bankers, and there would be mass banker necktie parties.

NASA and their hoax was something that looked viable to the banks credit-wise, so NASA got its money... via the government, of course. NASA is one of many. Movie-making is another, and is similar to what NASA did (does?) from a different direction.

These days, the debt-money system has ballooned to such a size that it has to encompass the whole world to keep its Ponzi going. It will crash, sometime, of course. But the bankers are working overtime to find something to take its place before it crashes... so they can keep on ruling the world. NASA was just a small part of their scheme.

Possibly, the bankers might find a way to take over Bitcoin so they can use Bitcoin as the new system. But they haven't figured out completely how, yet. They need more time. One of the ways for them to get more time is to create a cashless society, run completely on debit and credit (cards). This way they have more control of the money, more ability to screw the people, so that they have more time to figure out something like ways to use Bitcoin to take over the world money system, so they don't lose it all.

Sorry.  But I meant what I said.  Science is often split into "basic" and "applied" research.  "Basic" may not show any direct benefit, while "applied" is specifically targeted toward a benefit.

All you are doing is (a) arguing that some unspecified group of space efforts didn't happen (b) arguing that they don't help you.  Anyway why should something put food on your table?  Is that the obligation of governments, such as those that fund space programs?

In a time when economic austerity is en vogue, we find ourselves debating what is worth spending money on and what isn’t. Programs have to justify their existence and those programs that are seen as ancillary or superfluous get the ax. Unfortunately, often science that doesn’t have an immediate practical use is seen as fluff and a waste of time and money. In the United States, NASA can be an object of this debate. We should not be exploring the solar system, some say, when we have so many problems on the Earth. This, I believe, is an incredibly myopic point of view that ignores the myriad of technological advances that make our lives longer, safer, and more fun made possible by the space program.

Cell Phone Camera

You know how you basically can’t buy a cell phone anymore without a camera? Yeah, you can thank NASA for that. In the 1960s, engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) first developed the concept of the digital camera. In the 1990s, a team at the JPL worked to create cameras that are small enough to fit on spacecraft while maintaining scientific quality. One third of cell phone cameras contain the technology developed from this research.

Clean Energy Technology

Not every piece of technology is directly applicable to non-space faring activities. But, more often than not, technology developed for space flight is refined to create something useful for us land lubbers. For example, the company that developed the Space Shuttle Main Engine is using the expertise gained to create clean energy technology that would decrease carbon emissions by 10 percent, the equivalent of taking 50,000 cars off the road.

Scratch-Resistant Lenses

In an attempt to find diamond-hard coatings for aerospace systems, the Lewis Research Center contributed to making sunglass lenses more resistant to scratches and spotting. A technique for creating diamond-hard coatings was developed and patented, and in the late 1980s Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. got a license to use the patent. The technique was further developed and later used to make lenses that are scratch-resistant and shed water more easily.

Water Filtration and Purification

Lest you think NASA tech is just used for superficial creature comforts, think again. NASA has contributed quite a lot to the development of water purification technology over the years. Just by necessity, NASA developed ways to filter water for manned space missions. But that’s not all. Water purification technology also helped treat contaminated water after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico. Furthermore, technology developed to purify water on Apollo spacecraft is now used to purify dolphin tanks and is an alternative to chemical disinfectants.

CAT Scans

A space program needs a pretty good digital image analysis to locate and measure objects. Digital imaging is the computer processed numerical representation of physical images. The JPL played a lead role in developing this technology. This has proven incredibly useful in a variety of medical technologies, like CAT scanners, radiography and microscopy.

These are just a very few of the derivative technologies that we have thanks to investment in space exploration. You can find many more on the NASA website. But, at the risk of sounding like a new age hippie, these ignore perhaps the most important impact a robust space program can have: inspiration.

Space is undeniably huge and strange and beautiful. It’s a mistake to think of the study of space as esoteric. Billions and billions of years ago, supernovae exploded and littered the universe with the elements necessary to create the Earth and everything on it. We literally owe our existence to dying stars. It’s what Carl Sagan meant when he said that we are made of star stuff. The study of space is the study of us and our place in space and time. These are questions philosophers and theologians have been pondering for millennia, and these questions have answers. All we have to do is invest in finding the answers.

I know of no astronaut who returns from space after seeing the Earth with no artificial borders and advocates that we become more divided, more hostile, or more petty. There is something about knowing that we are on an insignificant pale blue dot in an insignificant galaxy that makes one realize how special life is. And we wouldn’t even have a clue if not for our ability to explore our corner of space.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_program#Legacy

Science and engineering[edit]
Further information: NASA spin-off technologies
The Apollo program has been called the greatest technological achievement in human history.[92][93] Apollo stimulated many areas of technology.[citation needed] The flight computer design used in both the lunar and command modules was, along with the Minuteman Missile System, the driving force behind early research into integrated circuits.[citation needed] Computer-controlled machining was first used in the fabrication of Apollo structural components.

Cultural impact[edit]
The Earth over the lunar horizon, photographed by the Apollo 8 crew
"Everything that I ever knew – my life, my loved ones, the Navy – everything, the whole world was behind my thumb." –James Lovell
The crew of Apollo 8 sent the first live televised pictures of the Earth and the Moon back to Earth, and read from the creation story in the Book of Genesis, on Christmas Eve, 1968. This was believed to be the most widely watched television broadcast until that time. The mission and Christmas provided an inspiring end to 1968, which had been a troubled year for the US, marked by Vietnam War protests, race riots, and the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

An estimated one-fifth of the population of the world watched the live transmission of the Apollo 11 moonwalk.[94]


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Marble
The Blue Marble photograph taken on December 7, 1972 during Apollo 17. "We went to explore the Moon, and in fact discovered the Earth." –Eugene Cernan
An effect of the Apollo program is the view of Earth as a fragile, small planet, captured in photographs taken by the astronauts during the lunar missions. The most famous, taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts, is The Blue Marble.

Many astronauts and cosmonauts have commented on the profound effects that seeing Earth from space has had on them;[95] the 24 astronauts who traveled to the Moon are the only humans to have observed Earth from beyond low Earth orbit, and have traveled farther from Earth than anyone else to date.

According to The Economist, Apollo succeeded in accomplishing President Kennedy's goal of taking on the Soviet Union in the Space Race, and beat it by accomplishing a singular and significant achievement, and thereby showcased the superiority of the capitalistic, free-market system as represented by the US. The publication noted the irony that in order to achieve the goal, the program required the organization of tremendous public resources within a vast, centralized government bureaucracy.[96]

I suppose you went up there and checked out that those were earth reflectors that reflected laser light?

In all likelihood, NASA found 3 spots where laser light could be reflected off the moon's natural surface. Then they built their whole moon landing scam around those 3 spots, just so that they could offer proof later.

More interestingly though, what did the Saturn rockets actually DO?  They were tracked by radar by  various countries around the world.

So you are ready to get on the stand and swear that you know first-hand that radar rocket tracking wasn't an elaborate hoax set up by covert, joint sciences from nations that had (or suggested that they had) technology to use radar this way?

Oh how short our memory is, you seem to forget a previous discussion we've had on this very subject. Let me jog your memory:



"... The Dutch national museum said Thursday that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood. Rijksmuseum spokeswoman Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation that proved the piece was a fake, said the museum will keep it anyway as a curiosity. ..."

Not everything necessarily has to add to our daily supper. We pay our taxes and most of them are evenly distributed for the countries development in various facets and industries. In terms of space travel, it's more of a long term discovery plan and to learn about the elements in space. It does help explore and identify similar Earth like planets and other habitable places (which of course is a humans dream).
