Did Humans Go to the Moon? A Debate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the debate over whether humans have actually landed on the Moon, with some arguing against the authenticity of the Apollo missions while others assert that such a monumental achievement could not be fabricated. Participants question why humans have not returned to the Moon, speculating on reasons ranging from lack of necessity to potential fears or technical limitations. The Apollo program, which involved significant investment and development, successfully completed multiple lunar missions, but recreating such efforts today would be prohibitively expensive. Current plans from NASA and other agencies aim to develop new lunar missions, though costs remain a major concern. Ultimately, the thread was locked due to forum rules prohibiting conspiracy theory discussions.

I have seen some documanters,and I have talk with some people about this issue: "Did human go to Moon ?".

Many people supports that never we went to Moon,and they have some logic arguments.
Other people support,that something so big...can not be fake,so we went to Moon for sure.

What you guys believe?? Also if we went to moon...why we did not go again??
There is no reason to go? Or we saw something that made us afraid? Or we just CANT go??

Thank you !

Going to the moon is a more complicated trip than hopping on a train. It is also very expensive to send just a couple of people to the moon for a few days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_program

The Apollo program took about 10 years of development and the expenditure of about $100 billion (in current value) to accomplish 9 trips to the moon and 6 landings on the lunar surface (with 1 aborted mission). The rockets and other equipment used were purpose-built for the lunar missions and trying to re-create them to go back to the moon would probably be as expensive, if not moreso, than when they were first developed. There have been recent plans formulated by NASA and other space agencies, in particular the Chinese, to design a new generation of lunar rockets, but the costs are still daunting.
 
I'm sorry but we don't allow discussion of conspiracy theories, as per PF rules. If you'd like to talk about what was necessary for humans to get to the moon, that's fine. But whether or not we've been is not subject to discussion, as it's a magnet for crackpots and conspiracy theory nuts. Thread locked.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Could fast radio bursts be alien radar signals?'

Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
