And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Back in 2013, the Chinese Lunar rover Jade Rabbit was in this area and found no man made items. I know, it was the Aliens that came and took everything.
The image above is the Apollo 17 rover in the Taurus-Litrow valley edging the Sea of Serenity. Chang'e 3, aka Yutu, aka Jade Rabbit, is in Mare Imbrium, far far away.
But you confuse me. You point out, correctly, that Yutu found no man-made items, which is to be expected; nothing ever landed in that area before Yutu. And so what? No human trash proves humans never landed on the moon? Or what? You think humans, particularly Cold-War era Americans, are not capable of it?
They were a different breed than what runs things at NASA, ESA and the like today, I will confess. But that spirit still exists at Space-X and Blue Origin. The is hope!
Possibly.for the same reason we can't see stars during the day on earth. The full sunlight blocks them out. The thin atmosphere on the moon prevents the blue sky effect on the moon because of the little light refraction. The stars are there but the camera exposure isn't set to pick them up. Again... possibly. IMHO we went to the moon.
The tard level of commentary on the moon landings being imaginary is reaching a singularity.
But sure, at the height of the Cold War, the Russians agreed to keep the secret, along with the thousands of people in on the gag in Florida and Texas, not to mention Washington DC (renowned throughout history for its collective ability to keep a secret) and to further fake those recent flybys where the equipment and the foot and vehicle tracks are clearly visible, right where they're supposed to be, from 50 miles up.
The laser reflectors self-deployed too, which is why any idiot with a laser and a telescope can ping them from earth, on those visits we never made.
I just gotta ask, how stupid does it feel to believe with the conviction of Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot hunters in a baseless theory first burped out in a D-level crapola Peter Hyams flick (because Hollywood writers and directors get everything historical right all the time - said no one ever), five years after the last manned mission?
I remember all of it well. My dad was a Navy grad with Lovell and Stafford. Apollo 11 was a worldwide event, but so was Apollo 13. Both glorious but in different ways.
Sad how so many have such faint hearts regarding our history of courage and accomplishment.
No stars? Rich is correct. Chesley Bonestell showed stars on the lunar surface because he, and most others at the time, were ignorant of what things really look like. https://tinyurl.com/mu579wb4
Just like you do not see stars from orbit on the day side of earth but can from the night side. https://tinyurl.com/mvkvw8vt , https://earthsky.org/todays-image/awesomeness-from-the-international-space-station/ .
And Aesop is correct. I worked with a guy who helped engineer the lunar rover. He still marveled that the machine he helped design, build, and touched sits to this day on the moon.
Taken at a Hollywood type sound stage.

And the Earth is flat. The Chinese say so.
DeleteActually filmed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico.
DeleteYup, those illegals, always stealing stuff and causing trouble.

Sure it is!!

Arizona looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for no stars ?
ReplyDeleteI forgot.
NASA... Never A Straight Answer.

Kubrick was a brilliant director. BTW, Eyes Wide Shut was an expose on certain people. They didn't care for it, needless to say.
ReplyDeleteHe was "suicided" just before it came out.
DeleteHence the "they didn't care for it" line.

Your first line is a pip!
