I want to know how we went to the moon with aluminum foil and a calculator.
Go.

Fake news. Moon landing was filmed in Hollywood. Everyone knows this but you.
Ready..? We didn’t.
Black Women
It’s important that we did. The how and why is irrelevant. Kind of like Santa Clause.
You don’t think that of the thousands of people that worked on putting together the rocket and have worked for NASA during that time that one of them would come out and say it was faked? It’s fun to pretend.
Standard NDA … with severe consequences to family. Anyway, how about that 9/11 “conspiracy” and building #7, eh? It’s fun to pretend.
You mean the building that caught fire as two of the largest buildings in the world came crashing down amidst a 1500 degree inferno?
Yes, that one. It’s a fact that buildings next to other buildings with fire on top floors collapse into their own footprint. Common sense.
It seems you have some precedents for other 1300 foot buildings that have been hit with airliners… please do tell the last time that happened so you can prove that those towers should still be standing
Not even 100’s of architects and engineers can explain why those towers should NOT be standing:

Maybe it’s because they got hit with 100 ton projectile traveling 500 mph? Oh and there was some fire and a little explosion too. I’m tired of this conversation. Have fun with those thoughts rattling around in your head, hope you can hold down a job.
Standard NDA..Hahaha. You are funny man.
Here is the science… The Van Allen Belts are created by Earth’s magnetic field, and protect the planet from dangerous solar radiation. The belts collects this radiation, and traps it in a layer surrounding the Earth. But unless you deliberately caused your spaceship to hover within this layer, for many hours or days, the radiation exposure is well below dangerous levels. The Apollo astronauts passed through the belts in less than four hours total for the trip. “It’s not much more serious than getting a chest x-ray,”
Balls. That’s how. It was a prerequisite of all NASA employees at the time, including the nerds. This video slightly damaged my brain.
Stanley Kubrick was a genius and made it happen. The whole world saw it on teevee. That’s how it happened.
For you anything significant that ever happened is a conspiracy, huh?
Stop watching Infowars and read a book
Ask trump. Ask about roswell as well.
Brains. And pencil and paper. No electronic distractions back then. Lordy, Lordy, don’t tell me you think that was fake?
and no Internet, just lying MSM, … go figure.
Solid engineering with simple tools – protractor, slide rule. People actually studied and understood what they were using and doing. Orbital mechanics are actually straight forward calculations. The design and materials is more fascinating to me – this a time where passenger jets had square windows – not realizing the corners introduced stresses and potential failures – yet we developed reentry materials to dissipate heat. Amazing stuff.
This video is moronic. The hardest part of getting to orbit is escape velocity – takes 4 lbs of fuel to put 1 lb in space. Once you’re there it’s straightforward math to aim, fire, and wait.
The points they make about going beyond low Earth orbit are related to extended stays. You can fly to the moon and take your chances with the radiation – it’s everywhere – but the longer you’re out there the greater the chances of something coming your way randomly that would destroy you. A mass coronal ejection from the sun wreaks havoc on electronics – beyond the Van Allen belt, while you may live through it, your equipment would become junk without proper shielding. Long term vs short term.
The rest of it is just ridiculous.
Didn’t man on moon make up 30 percent of gdp or something crazy. Huge money spent.
Basic calculations of observed Van Allen radiation belt radiation shows that over the trip the astronauts took through the belt (about 53 minutes), they would have been exposed to about 11.4 RADs, or a rare of about 13 RADs per hour of radiation. That is if they were outside the spacecraft. The radiation dosimeters carried by the astronauts measured about 2 RADs exposure, total, over 6 days.
A lethal dose of radiation is about 300 RADs per hour. It may have been enough to raise their cancer risk slightly, but the lowest one-year dose clearly linked to increased cancer risk is about 10 RADs, and normal background radiation per year back on good ol’ earth is about .4 RADs, so they had a good bit of wiggle room.
Space tourism and everyday flights through the belt maybe a bigger issue, and you certainly wouldn’t want to weekend there, but flying through the belt at 25,000 km/hour one time doesn’t look likely to kill you.
