Well we can safely assume they were not used.

Do some people think the simulation video was real. All those Indians gazing st a screen and reacting is very odd.

Does this cartoon spacecraft remind you of a certain logo? You'd think with the billions of dollars spent on this shit they could attach a few 4K cameras to the thing and live-stream it.

But, just in case it's all true and perhaps it could be, never say never and all that, well here's some stunning news . . .


. . . . India has successfully landed on the Moon – for less than the cost of the film Interstellar.

The Indian space agency announced on Wednesday that it had completed a “soft landing” on the lunar surface, near its southern pole. It becomes the first ever to land there, and just the fourth country to successfully send a mission to the Moon at all.

And it did so on a very restrictive budget. The Chandrayaan-3 cost was sent to the Moon at a cost of about 6.15 billion rupees, or $75 million, according to Reuters.

That is less than the cost of most blockbuster space films. Gravity cost $100 million, The Martian cost $108 million – and it was less than half the cost of Interstellar, which was filmed on a budget of $165 million.

It even costs less than some houses. The UK’s most expensive house, for instance, went on sale at £200 million, or nearly three-and-a-half missions to the Moon.


This is amazing news in relative terms we can all chip in and do our own independent fact finding space trip now, all we need is a few wealthy benefactor patrons and a go fund me page and whatever . . . 🤩
Some might say the firmament is within reach now - Just a mere €75mil can bring us there😍

Next year maybe this site can land a rover on the moon, especially if Val returned, we could make it a manned mission

BBC News - Chandrayaan-3: India lunar rover Pragyaan takes a walk on the Moon
worst camera placement ever. Also, looks super pixelated and low res. Once again, 1960s tech wins :LOL:

This lander is supposed to be right next to the Russian crash site. We'll be getting debris photos any day now....any day

When they are to do a crewed fly by. Actually Artemis 2.

2025, is when they try to land a person on the moon.

These videos appear totally fake. The surface could not be flying past like that and the rover could not leave thread marks in dust .

And why would ridiculous music be added.

And wheres the other 2 or 3 angles simultaneously recorded? My budget phone has 3 lenses on it! plunketts ghost is spot on in regard to comments made on most all the vids so far - Fake as Hell, are we to believe that's all there is to it?
There must be better footage out there. What's going on:unsure:

A reception committee perhaps, little green lads hurling rocks at the lander telling it to feck off back to where it came from.

All this activity in chasing after the moon and yet we hear little or nothing of it in the MSM. Over the weekend the news was, understandably, full of the the Clonmel tragedy and that is not to be belittled, and yet the number two item was some soccer lass caught snogging an official, or some such. You'd have thought that a 'second' attempt at a lunar landing would have fitted in somewhere in between.

See, not having a TV to watch I didn't know about the things you've mentioned there, and why should I? it's none of my business and either is half baked news in general but i must admit to being a bit curious to the other half of news stories we never get to hear about - The Sinead O'Connor autopsy results, the filling station explosion inquest results(that story went on all week and the next)
Since we rarely get the full picture from the telly, why bother with it?

Likewise I don't watch the telly, it came from a couple of radio news bulletins I was in no position to avoid.

I have certainly moved to the the opinion that the MSM is just entertainment nowadays, the real debate is emerging in the online sphere and that is why governments are moving to curtail it, or condoning those vast enterprises which are subjecting it to their own form of censorship.

It just goes to show what we were stuck with in times past and what many folk are stuck on today, all living in such different worlds🤪
Have you had much luck telling a telly head what's actually going on in the world? Note the trembling eyebrows and bailing out for the door? 🤣

They don't want to know.
I have a couple of siblings who completely clam up when faced with the truth.
Fully jabbed mask wearers in fairness so part of the CoVidiot Cult.
These types can never move on from 2020.
Brainwashed, unfortunately.
I gave up on them.

Don't give up, ther're going need your help sooner or later when it all gets too much.
Apparently an amazing time seemingly approaches for all - A time of Revelations?

The moon surface is also visible through the spacecraft which is transparent for some reason. What a shit video.
Looks like stop motion. I guess we can't emulate the 1960s rate of frames per second anymore either 🤷‍♂️

A while back there was a lovely full moon. I was looking through my averagely good binoculars and could see a lot of detail. Amazing that given the power of modern telescopes, there are no photos of the multitude of moon lander landings (over 21) over the years. The Earth facing side of the moon must be littered with debris at this point.

No shortage of video of the lunar rover though.

As far as I am concerned we must wait the crewed fly by next year.
