| Moon landing tapes?
Posted: 7/18/2009 7:23:47 AM | Okay i really think we went to the moon, for sure we did, if only for the fact that so many people where involved if something strange went on there, someone would have spilt the beans about it by now.
That said, what with tapes being re doctored and so forth lately I hear the original tapes where deleted, and this is nasa saying they deleted them. Check it out on yahoo news today.

SO isn't that just kind of a little bit strange? I mean shortly they are sending up a satellite that will be able to actually see the landing spot, and i am sure the conspiracy nuts will find away to keep on believing what ever they want... and yet why would tapes of such a historical nature be "accidentaly deleted"?
Not saying we didn't go, just saying, hmnm interesting, i wonder what that is about exactly...? if anything. | |

Does Joe shmo just get the origional landing tapes out with his nasa video rental card and throw them in the same bag as shrek and harry potter or some garbage? I'm not implying a cover up, we landed on the moon no doubt. I'm implying that everyone in the chain of command responsible for this happening are total morons. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 8:08:28 AM | | It is ironic to me that this same kind of mistake is actually proof that we undoubtedly went to the moon; because if something as ridiculous as this happened accidentally then how on earth could a massive cover up be orchestrated without people some how eventually finding out. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 8:17:47 AM | omg .. I would just like to hear one GOOD reason for faking a moon landing.. just One and it has to be 'good'
no surprise to me that 'some' tapes may have been lost .. but I would think that as the whole incident was broadcast worldwide there would be piles of archives to glean new tapes from .. oh .. that's what they're doing! .. lol .. silly me ..hehe ..
We knew y'all would come for a visit .. eventually .. ;) 
"One giant step for man .. one scarey notion we 'might' invade, infest, some other undeserving planet" ..
pass the cheese .. please .. while I sit on the edge of the world waiting for the giant turtle to wake up .. I have more questions ..

Posted: 7/18/2009 8:35:03 AM | Ok this story baffled me too when I read it this morning. It doesn't apparently say how many times these tapes were recorded over, yet they are able to get the original recordings out of them and clearer....hmmm... really makes me wonder ...come on... after 40 years?! It's probably a way to get more people to watch the upcoming celebrations regarding this event...
but if they were so stupid to actually do this ....not labelling properly such important tapes and recording over them....well that shows you how dumb governement employees with important jobs really are some times...
no offence intended ...of course | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 10:55:28 AM | | Well there really has not been much reason TO go back. Until we start using it as a base to launch further missions it's really kind of worthless. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 11:07:28 AM | | Yes of course except Nasa is going to spend it's funding on whatever is more important to science,not to relive good old memories. The current pictures probably wouldn't look much different than old ones. No atmosphere,nothing to cause erosion. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 11:08:34 AM | | From what I read the original high quality video feed also contained data from the on- board systems and weren't considered historical. The video being restored are the tapes from the ground stations that relayed information to the US from around the world. NASA reused the tape in fact I read somewhere close to 200,000 of them as they were primarily data tapes. Now hindsight would tell us these were valuable historical documentation but as we know NASA has always fought penny pinchers for funds and they were trying to save money. | |

I have always wondered why we didn't go back & do it again?
I know, I know... it's a challenge to convince some folks that Americans successfully landed on the moon for the first time with Apollo 11, let alone dare to suggest that there were a few more successful subsequent manned moon landings:
Here's a list of Americans who have (allegedly) visited the (alleged) moon:
Apollo 11 (Eagle) - Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin A. "Buzz" Aldrin - July 1969
Apollo 12 (Intrepid) - Charles "Pete" Conrad, Richard Gordon, Alan Bean - November 1969
Apollo 14 (Antares) - Alan B. Shepard, Stuart Roosa, Edgar Mitchell - January 1971
Apollo 15 (Falcon) - David Scott, Alfred Worden, James Irwin - July 1971
Apollo 16 (Orion) - John W. Young, Ken Mattingly, Charles Duke - April 1972
Apollo 17 (Challenger) - Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans, Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt - December 1972 (this was the last time Americans were on the moon)
The sharper-eyed among you may have noticed that Apollo 13 is missing from the chronological list above. You could google it to learn what happened...or rent the Tom Hanks movie of the same name (directed by Ron Howard... and also starring Kevin "6 Degrees of" Bacon!).... or as with any other Apollo missions, just pretend it never happened.
As for erased tapes, what can I say? As I recall, there was a fair bit of that going on in other important places in America in the 70's... it's certainly not unheard of. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 7:15:38 PM | The most frightening conspiracy theory is that there is no over arching super world order playing puppets with political actors, that stupid stuff just happens, and structures of power randomly bumble into the future like blind children with no sense of direction.
I think people take comfort in the idea that somewhere someone is controlling things, it lends to a sense of security. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 7:56:31 PM | | If it was a lie, don't you think something would have...happened...to the original "supposed" moon-landing crew, and all those after them? I think so. A lie that big demands loose ends be tied off. | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 6:11:51 AM | What is more is that people have actually been to the moon since the moon landing most notably Russia in '71 and '74 in the form of Luna 19 and Luna 22. These missions put satellites in orbit around the moon and were not for shortdurations, these mission lasted 388 days and 521 days respectively. Had they noticed anything suspect wouldn't they have told the world?
The next lunar orbiter currently scheduled for launch is Russia's Luna-Glob 1 expected to be launched in 2010. China's Chang'e 2 is expected to be launched in 2011. China is expected to land motorized rovers and collect samples of the moon in the future, and the Indian National Space agency, has announced the Chandrayaan program for Lunar exploration. The second mission Chandrayaan II plans to land a motorised rover by 2012.
It isn't like there is no activity having to do with the moon. Still how do you accidentally delete something like that? | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 6:30:20 AM | What I want to ask and with absolute sincerity is this;
Who cares?
What did landing on the moon do for homelessness? What did landing on the moon do to help end starvation? What did landing on the moon do beside provide "Tang" to the masses???
I for one, am not impressed with the "Lunar Landing" as I feel it did not really advance our society much at all. It seems to my feeble mind that we took a great leap backwards at that point. All this wonderful technology that may or may not have been driven by that "race" isn't really all that impressive to me. Add to that, that billions upon billions of dollars have been used to send garbage into space ever since... WOW.
You have people sleeping in cars. You have people lining up at food banks. You have children growing up in abject poverty, and you have Governments who intentionally mislead the masses.
Advanced society huh.... | |

Posted: 7/23/2009 7:12:58 AM | Obama could say fu ck the Moon, and use the billions of dollars it takes for one trip to the moon and use it on Healthcare.....Just my opinion......
The earth still has plenty left to be discovered, hy waste our time going to the moon when we could use all those resources to dig deeper into our own planet | |

Nothing. But that wasn't it's goal. What did eradicating smallpox do for the homeless? What did developing antibiotics do for the homeless?

Fortunately the Moon landings weren't carried out to impress you, so the fact they didn't isn't an issue. And backwards in what way?
All this wonderful technology that may or may not have been driven by that "race" isn't really all that impressive to me.

If you want to complain about the govt. wasting $$$ start with the overkill in the military's budget.
Your profile says you're in BC, so why do you care how the US spends it's money? I'd be more concerned with the CBC being funded as a propaganda tool by the feds here in Canada.
And I wonder how many lives have been saved by tracking hurricanes via satellite, and by MRIs and CAT scanners, both offshoots of technology developed for the space program... | |

Posted: 10/16/2009 12:41:40 AM | Head's up...Give yourselves a break... At ease... Smoke 'em if you've got 'em...
The moon is an artificial satellite, pushed into earth orbit millennia ago by space dudes who wanted to observe dinosaurs from a comfortable distance...
Sure... We went there... Looking for what?... Life?... Don't shit yourself...
Petroleum... And the little green towel-headed insurgents trying to protect it...
But we found neither...
So we pissed on it, and stuck a flag into it... Cats will mark territory... Even if it's useless... | |

Actually , we have been back to the moon.
As for Mars...as soon as we can figure out how to get somebody there without it costing a trillion dollars we probably will. For now it's probes. | |

Bill Gates could probably afford it; I wonder what the legal ramifications would be if a privately funded landing ( launched from some country that isn't a signatory of any international space treaty ) took place & the organizers of the landing claimed Mars for themselves... | |

Yeah, but the objective is a soft landing, not a Crash ... | |

None, for the most part since the international response would likely be "eff you!"
I think the only countries even capable of landing something on another world are signatories. However, I stand to be corrected. | |
