To The Moon

I've come to the conclusion that engineering is the only real demonstration of science.
Either it's working or breaking.

When I watched the Apollo 17 documentary I posted above I was reminded of this from the movie Apollo 13, the CO2 problem -

Cernan accidentally broke a fender on the lunar rover and when the repair on the Moon didn't work, overnight Houston (using knowledge of the inventory) devised this.. Not quite as dramatic but reminiscent nonetheless :)

In Sept 2024, it was scheduled to do a crewed fly by and around the moon. It is postponed many times and the date now is April 2026. That remains to be seen
 
Looks round :)

Wild how we keep getting all this high quality 'Mars' footage, but we can't seem to land on the moon successfully any more and the footage is always garbage. :unsure:

How was the picture of the giant pile of rock supposed to have been taken before landing?
 
Obviously after they left, so there actually is a Man in the Moon.

we have 5 to 7 months for the flyby. No way will the lander be ready for 2027 so forget that. The race is on to beat the chinese 2030 date

Do you realise that you have the mentality of a 4-year-old?

Do you realise that thinking the Earth is flat, space is fake & gay, there's no such thing as gravity and so on.. makes you almost impossible to be taken seriously about anything else?

And here's the real question, do you realise who told you to think these things? It's truly fascinating, I've noticed it for years, every single one of you idiots are goy mind slaves, whether 'left' or 'right'
