Oh sorry, I forgot that you are a miserable *****. - mrlivingston, on 04/12/2008, -0/+8Cohaagen, you got what you wanted; you must give those people air!

NASA's Eagle (Apollo 11 Lunar Module) ascends from the Moon's surface on July 21, 1969: http://chamorrobible.org/images/photos/gpw-2006102 ...
Via photo 26 -> http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20061021.htm - TheCasablancan, on 04/12/2008, -1/+7Because the people at virgin galactic OBVIOUSLY will go up and over the commoners. These changes in trajectory will increase the total distance traveled.
- MacEnvy, on 04/12/2008, -1/+6Why is the distance farther when there's traffic?
- poidh, on 04/12/2008, -0/+4It's just a shame that the article about the space debris made it to the front page yesterday, or I'd feel alot more optimistic about this.
- tutivlahos, on 04/12/2008, -2/+5Shopped! I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -0/+3Xenu already has the Intergalactic Penthouse suite booked for the next millennia.
- Groovemaster, on 04/12/2008, -1/+3Sorry for questioning your precious delusion. Good luck with the anger issues.
- xamox, on 04/12/2008, -2/+4Yeah, forget about the depressed economy. I'm spending my money on vacation in space, whoo-hoo!

- muymalgal, on 04/12/2008, -0/+2i wish i could be on the first one.
- acdcfanbill, on 04/12/2008, -1/+3Because they are using the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!
- pushmouse, on 04/12/2008, -2/+4Read this. The plans are not missing.

- MacDevyn, on 04/12/2008, -0/+2Joke time!
Theres 2 blondes lying on lawn chairs under the moon. They both look up and one of the blondes asks the other one "what is further away, the moon or the empire state building?" The other one responds, "Well you can see the moon" - esquilax, on 04/12/2008, -2/+3Did you see Photoshops back in 1969? If so, I'd like some of that acid, please, it sounds strong.
- chaos7, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1COOL
- bluenash, on 04/12/2008, -1/+2I think I'll go to the grand canyon instead. Much safer, much more economical and much more enjoyable. Earth travel FTW.
- KingGorilla, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1It doesn't take that long with imagination!
- Neemzor, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1Shouldn't they try to work on something a little more important then a hotel by our moon? I mean, the moon is slowly drifting away from the earth anyway right?
- Groovemaster, on 04/12/2008, -2/+3You believe Americans walked on the moon several times within a few years back in the 60s and 70s, but no-one else on the planet can replicate the feat, even using similar 60s technology, within the next 40 years.
You sir, are gullible.
But to be fair, almost everything about the USA is a lie. You people wouldn't know reality if it smacked you in the face. - nalimca, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1I had a neighbor who sat on his torch light and flipped the switch. He got to the moon in less than 2 seconds.
- josepablos, on 04/12/2008, -1/+2the moon. no waaay... is all dust .. if i want to spend my money that way i choose go to a fat camp in arizona
- inactive, on 04/13/2008, -0/+1No, the deception was unraveled the very first video broadcast in Australia, when a conscientious studio worker, upset at the utter farcical nature of what they were doing, tossed a coke can onto the set.
A viewer called the station and asked "why is there a can of coke on the moon?"

- Bersy, on 04/12/2008, -0/+0That's the miracle of the franchise. You get all the equipment and know-how you need, plus a familiar brand-name people trust. You'll be on a rocket-ride to the moon! And while you're there, would you pick up some of that nice, green moon money for me … Royce McCutcheon!
- itchie, on 04/13/2008, -0/+0So someone will finally step foot on the moon? I say this because human nature is to exploit the ***** out of anything for a dollar. Since it's been 30 years or so since the staged landings, i'm surprised there isn't a star bucks opened on the moon yet. And looking at the proposed plans from other countries they wont step foot onto it for another 10-15 years. Although this time we will get some good pictures and not some shoddy photos of guys jumping around on strings.
- venuspcs, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1I am in talks with several rather large "Adult Entertainment" Companies with the goal of opening the first Brothel on the Moon.
- almightyzam, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1Talk is cheap, Mr. Branson; back your ***** up...
- Sludgehammer, on 04/12/2008, -2/+1I can just imagine the moon landing conspirators: "We managed hide a multi-million dollar movie production, and to fool the entire Soviet Union for decades, but now those meddling, neckbearded internet users have unraveled our deception!"
- kajoob, on 04/12/2008, -4/+312 parsecs. 16 parsecs with traffic.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -2/+1Yeah right, just ask American Airlines.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -4/+2Only those people who: 1) understand mechanics, chemistry, engineering, astrophysics and materials engineering.
There is a reason the blueprints for the Saturn V rocket and the Apollo missions are 'missing', since they clearly show the missions had insufficient materials to leave Earth, orbit Earth, then travel to the Moon (read this article to see how much fuel it would take to get there in the time allotted), orbit the Moon, send a lander to the Moon, then launch from the surface to the Moon to Moon orbit, meet up with the orbiter, then travel back to Earth, regain Earth orbit and have the capsule land back on Earth.
The life support and fuel requirements, for the late 60's, with that existing technology was prohibitive and the designs show that the above events did not happen:

You know the reason NASA gives for not allowing the Saturn V blueprints to be seen? (Hey it's 40 years later we can build rockets in our tool sheds these days, John Carmack has) They say the parts would be "too difficult" to manufacture.
I'm curious as to what part made in the 1960's could be 'too difficult' to manufacture today, but easy enough then?
""The real problem is the hundreds of thousands of other parts, some as apparently insignificant as a bolt or a washer, that are simply not manufactured any more."
A bolt or washer is holding things up you say? Makes complete sense! *If you are lying*. - yamill, on 04/12/2008, -2/+0Spacekid

(was sarcasm) - starmanjones, on 04/12/2008, -6/+1hey richard... going to call to book passage for some 'nauts. go virgin galactic.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -12/+3Yeah we'll probably see some porns shot on the Moon pretty soon. 1/6 of earth gravity would be awesome for the rides. They can jump high and won't hurt themselves. Just one thing though: special astronaut suits with special cosmic-ray-protected holes will have to be made.
- darvian, on 04/12/2008, -20/+5Everyone does know that we've never been to the moon before, right?
