I think a world power will put a crews footprint on mars if only for bragging rights not a colony in the foreseeable future . I do agree with you we are not going to the stars until we solve the speed/power issues and the pain in the ass human cargo ...those problems may take centuries to overcome . We need LUDICRIOUS SPEED lol i mean that we have to go faster than light or its all moot because of the distances involved which are mind numbing

Sorry, I was typing fast, it's 1/6th what the earth's gravity is. Which would appear as almost nothing to someone who had spent their life on earth. Don't let that little detail be your sticking point
It would make a 200lb man feel like he weighed 33lbs. You could launch yourself 20' in the air with one leg.
Please explain. It acts exactly like it would on earth. You expect that dust would gall at the same rate in 1/6th the gravity? Please tell me how that works.
Why is easy to answer. Control.
You ever spend any time in the desert? There are flats full of fine sand called "moon dust" everywhere. That's exactly how it behaves, on earth.
Ill give "them" the planes, the over run of the cabins, the two lonely pictures at the pentagon, the freefall collapse of the towers........but building 7.......NOPE, fuck you!
My 9th grade science teacher and the schools chemistry teacher, a Mr. Allen was related to the Allen of the Van Allen belt. Pretty interesting fellow. I remember the date/lecture where, he introduced us to Rachael Carson and the book “The Silent Spring”. An Extraordinarily radical book for the times (1963).
It is my theory that flight UA 93 that crashed near Indian Lake, Pa and not at Shanksville, was supposed to "hit" building 7. But an Air Force major following standard protocol was cleared hot and took the shot and made it and down goes the plane. So, this was supposed to happen way earlier and now, nearing 5:20 pm, what to do, what to do?
There’s no air, so dust would fall throu 1/6th vacuum about as fast as 1G air.
I think that happened like 100 years ago......Reynold's Wrap caused the shortage, not the critical thinkers!
The US detonated 5 nukes in the van Allen belt. Let that sink in, that's how dumb we are. They did it, (at least their excuse was) to move it back so we could pass a craft through it, or something equally stupid. That radiation made that area exponentially more radioactive. It has lethal levels radiation. Maybe today we could build something that could survive in it. In the 60's? That thing they pretended to fly up there was an airstream trailer lined with Styrofoam. Get outta here with that BS.
My mother, my aunt, and many other family members are in the fresh cut flower business. They have massive amounts of equipment, coolers, warehouses, employees, and they developed some of the techniques used in most fresh cut flower businesses today. I'm kinda like you when people start talking about fresh cut flowers and how to extend their life, how to store them, how to prep them, even how to cut them. I too have very strong opinions, but when it comes down to it, I really don't know shit.........mostly because THEY do them, not me!
That test, one of those being Starfish prime, killed a lot of satellites by accident and took out Hawaii’s power grid. We do have nuclear hardened satellites that are from the the Cold War era called MILSTAR
I’ve had quite a bit of involvement with NASA in the earlier years of my career. Lol Mirrors dropped off by one of the Apollo missions is still used today for laser sensor calibrations. With a good enough telescope you can see the landing sights. Mental midgets bringing up Van Allen Radiation Belts and signals with zero actual knowledge on how those work.
Show me pictures of the landing sites taken from earth. Show me the flag they planted from earth, the tracks, anything. I want to see that
You should read about the Argus rocket tests in the Atlantic. Those were early probes of the Earth’s geomagnetic composition.
Smells like Area 51, tastes like Area 51...Observatory Remembers Harlan J. Smith on His 100th Birthday | McDonald Observatory
On August 25, McDonald Observatory commemorates what would have been the 100th birthday of Harlan James Smith. He was the Observatory’s director from 1963 to 1989, a period of lasting impact on the site’s facilities, public outreach programs, and place within the greater astronomy...mcdonaldobservatory.org
Why Is the Apollo Reflector Experiment Still Operating, 50 Years Later?
An epic lunar laser experiment is still going strong, five decades after the Apollo astronauts set it up on the surface.www.space.com
Pretty persistent cover.
You’re not going to see that much detail with a terrestrial telescope, you can just see outlines with observatory telescopes. There photos from other countries such as India who photographed the sites with one of their missions to the moon in recent years and NASA’s LRO.
No silly, vacuum cleaners are all that works in a vacuum. It's in the name. Duh!
Finally, someone with some cred.You’re not going to see that much detail with a terrestrial telescope, you can just see outlines with observatory telescopes.

If anyone would want to disprove the US going to the moon with humans it would have been the Soviets. Funny how they didn’t refute it, probably because their were watching the signals come from the Apollo missions and track portions of it through its launch. Something critical that would help Soviet information ops if it were fake. But what do I know, I just work in the space career field.
You have the same power of Google as I do for looking up NASA’s % of US budget for the build up of Apollo to todays budgets.
I was being trollish, sorry. In fact, I knew this thread would create some controversy. To be fair to myself, I could start an argument by stating that the sun looks yellow. Someone will come along and dispute that.
Pass through them? Interesting. Isn't it something like 86,000 miles at the most narrow point, which I believe is at the equator? Something crazy like that. And they did it in a craft that had a max speed of a couple hundred miles an hour and were up and down in a week and a half? My numbers could be way off, but when I looked into this year's ago, that was another set of data that made zero sense..
The answer is that it's risky. Micro meteoroids are a constant threat, and there isn't a ton you can do about it. I would add that as our solar system ages there is less and less decaying orbit small debris as some of the larger meteoroids comets continue along their trajectories and eventually decay/impact. When the solar system was young there were orders of magnitude more. Today most of the dangerous space debris around the earth is man made.
Incorrect. It's near zero over the poles where humans get a full dose of solar radiation unimpeded by the magnetic field of the earth. This isn't an issue because no one runs around the poles in a bathing suit, and the atmosphere and a parka is sufficient to protect you from full, unimpeded solar radiation.
You can’t be serious about this. Tell me you know nothing about escape velocities without telling me you don’t.
So, educate me. I don't pretend to know everything about any subject. You've made two posts since that one, and in both of them you've said "c'mon bro".
