COOL NASA Moon Landing Stats !

[LateShow]

The international space station (ISS) is 1000x closer to the Earth than the moon, but traveling to the ISS takes at least 4 hours to reach when the moon takes a whole 72 hours!


The Apollo 11 aircraft had a max speed of nearly 25,000 miles per hour on the way to the moon, but had to slow down to only 1.6 km/sec (~3600 mph) to orbit the moon while the lander was deployed.


This marvel of advanced human technology was able to land safely on the moon, then take off and dock with the command module traveling 1.6 km/sec 100km above the surface of the moon. It was apparently jettisoned off after docking and was lost to humanity forever.


It took the lunar module nearly 4 times as much fuel to land than it did to fly back up to the command module.


I'm glad we had brave men in the past that were able to do this, because we don't have the technology or the masculinity today to touchdown on the moon again. Not even China could throw enough bodies/money/attempts at reaching the moon to achieve what we were able to do nearly 60 years ago. And don't tell me it isn't worth the money when Lance Bass paid something like $20M just to go into space.

Don't we have enough documentation to go back to the moon if we wanted to? Oh wait, we destroyed it.

this thing went to the moon and back???

They were throwing like 2-3% of the GDP at that chit during that era. How does that compare to budgets nowadays of space travel companies?

Going off of private vs government spending…

So 9.6B over a period of presumably more than one year. 2-3% of GSP would be more like 500-750B a year.

Huge difference in funding vs. NASA back then.

We went to the moon with that, and still, you believe it

Appollo Guidance Computer:
24000 transistors
1 MHz
4ko RAM at 85kHz
72ko ROM


Electric razor PHILIPS ONEBLADE :

65000 transistors - almost 3 times more
64 MHz -64x faster
4ko RAM 64MHz, - 752 times faster
64ko de ROM,- an equivalent program size

We are in 2024 and «we cant go back to the moon because we lost the technology »

AND YOU BELIEVE IT

Interesting, is this because of how fast the ISS orbits earth? Like most of the time is spent trying to catch up to it?

To be honest, that is quoted out of context...

We do not have an ultra heavy capable of lifting even half the payload of the Saturn V into low Earth orbit, let alone past that. All the infrastructure supporting the Saturn V is gone, everything would need to be rebuilt.

There is nothing on the moon except dust and rocks, there is no payback in rebuilding all of that.

The Saturn V was a beast unmatched to today - the Soviets weren't even able to build anything comparable.

I'm not saying Bart Sibrel is right, but he does bring up some big questions.

[AshWar]

So all the countries including Russia and China that have sent lunar orbiters that can see the landing sites (and the phucking flag) are in on the lie?

jfl @ believing that piece of **** flew 240k miles to the moon and back

It didn't.

That's the lander, which was unoccupied for the trip there, and was used only to land and take off from the moon.

so which craft traversed the half a million miles in outer space then? this craft brought the astronauts back to their shuttle??

I dont know chit about this, but they have confirmed finding a photographing the landing sites/flag?

I'll try to find a pic when I'm not on mobile.

That's a good start, I think there are more recent ( and more detailed ) pics from more recent missions.

Yea..I don’t know if I can believe what they tell us.
Maybe we did, but it’s pretty sus.
