The Shuttle can't go outside orbit because it's rocket boosters aren't big enough to get it there. The Apollo rocket was more than double the size.

What do you mean they never went back? They sent 7 Apollo moonshots, 6 of which made it. 12 men have walked on the moon from 6 successful missions. Apollo 13 never made it.

They learned as much as they needed to and cancelled the last two Apollo shots because of the costs of the Vietnam war.

We haven't gone back because we beat the Russians there - the main reason why we went. Also, there's nothing there. Mankind will go back. China will be the next country to land men and/or women on the moon.

What you've read, GTFPV, is obviously crap.

Beware of the truth. It's hidden out there in books and on the internet.

Because the truth is so easy to find.

I wasn't referring to you gtfpv, I was referring to conspiracy theorists in general.

Sorry if you took it personally.

Our understanding of what is around us grows every day. It gives us the power to look into the past and determine events with a reasonable certainty. Noah packing on ~10 million animals onto an ark, gathered from all parts of the world? Inconclusive because I wasn't there. Unacceptable.

The acts performed by Jesus were documented well after his death by people that weren't there. Some of them hundreds of years after his death. All we have on these stories is the power to sift through what may be truth and what may be inserted to provide a 'good story'. You seem to work on the basis that anything written in a book describing an event more than say, a generation in the past must be true or at the least, cannot be disproven?

The quick exposure, the shielding and the sympathetic trajectory taken was considered to pose as minimal risk to the astronauts travelling through them.

There's no science that tells us it's impossible for man to walk on the Moon. Man has achieved it. NASA has submitted proposals for manned missions to Mars. Would be a monumental waste of their time and resources if we're trapped by Van Allen and his pesky belt.

It's interesting to me that you disbelieve one event that many people today were not only witness to, but part of - the data, overwhelming evidence and samples recovered from the Moon by Apollo missions are still studied today. However, you don't question the 'biography' and events of a historic figure by scholars hundreds of years after his death?

It costs tens of billions of dollars to shoot men to the Moon, what purpose would it serve them today? NASA has submitted a proposal at a Mars manned mission, though.

China have declared interest on putting a man on the Moon. I suspect probably for the same reason the US did it, to flex their might. I recall India also had an interest in it but not sure if their intentions were as strong as that of China's.

The calder on my wall only goes to the end of 2011, not to 2911.

The Calender on Windows 7 only goes to 2099, does that mean the end of the world will happen 2099 because the Microsoft Calender has predicted so?

I think it has been proven beyond a doubt that man went to the moon. The Americans did lose the space race however.

No they actually won it by accident.

The first man made object in space was not Sputnik, it was a steel and concrete plug used to fill in the hole in an early underground nuclear test that got ejected during detonation and is STILL travelling.......

I think you are right, I just don't know if there was a specific reason for ending it at 2012. I don't believe they thought the world was going to end, but there could have been some other significance they had in mind. On the other hand, it could also be by chance. Like people are saying, it couldn't have gone on forever.

Ahh but the original gentlemens agreement for the space race was to complete 1 full orbit of the earth with a man. Russia beat them to it. That is when they changed the rules to being the first on the moon.

I recall watching a special a few weeks ago on TV about all the big natural disasters of late. They had all the people with the tin foil hats on talking about how to survive and bunker down.

Seriously if it were the end of the world which I doubt whats the point in worrying yourself over it.

You can't do anything to stop it and would you really want to survive if at all possible. Just live your life!

It's a disgrace, respect is a rare commodity these days.

And yes it was written Christianity would be prosecuted near the end of days, natural disasters, wars, Islam wide spreading. Most of the signs are there (search for green horse on youtube) but some have not yet happened, so unless some dramatic things happen in the next 18 months, the whole 2012 world end thing is rubbish.

My opinion is the bible was formed and has been hacked at over many years.

The bible forgot to mention reincarnation which just happens to be in every other spiritual religion. Why? For control of the people. When people are scared they can be controlled.

Look at the fear we live in now. Terrorism etc. Life is no different, it has been made out to be different by media, governments, churches and the powers to be. We now perceive life differently.

Does a cow now live in fear of getting blown up? No because life is still the same, no different to the cow. The cow still perceives everyday as another.


As I said everyone is entitled to their own opinions so I don't want to start anything but I believe when you start to look at the broader picture of the jigsaw of life things come together in a different perspective.

Ill jump in, 911 was a false flag event, and bin laden has been dead for years. Thats why bush said he dosent really think about him (osama)much. because if they caught him people would ask "can we end the war now?" which was not in their intrest. and now that obama has proven to be another lying politician and his numbers were in the shitter, they rolled him out, and bang, 20+point jump in the polls and gadaffi can be the new boogey man.

Default Mayan's got it wrong, World Ends Today!!!....

World ends on weekend

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/OddS...nd_615294.html

Quote:
Friday, May 20, 2011 » 01:48pm

A Christian cult has revealed that the world will end on Saturday 21st May.

Harold Camping, the 89-year-old founder of a Christian sect that interpretes the Bible's 'numerological' messages, has informed listeners that the world will end on Saturday May 21.

He has based his complex calculations on a model which equates five with 'atonement', ten with 'completeness' and 17 with 'heaven'.

Familyradio.com says God 'wants us to know that exactly 7000 years after He destroyed the world with water in Noah's day, He plans to destroy the entire world forever'.

Some of us will get the weekend off however, as the final fire ball isn't due until October 21st.
Well that throws a spanner in the works, i had plans for the weekend....

If that was the case then don't you think Bush would have used it to stay in office?

I know it has already been mentioned that you are confused with the aztecs instead. so im going a little off topic here but i have to say that the only reason such great cultures (both of them) were wiped out was because of a sickness brought over by the spanish called Smallpox. I think you will find that the Aztecs absolutely ********d the Spanish up combat wise.

ok so back on topic (a little)

Jesus-25th Dec
the Roman god Sol Invictus-25th Dec
Osirus and Horus-25th Dec
Mithras-25th Dec
and im sure there are others

the Mayans kept it nice and simple if you ask me

I was reading about this, turns out he thought it was meant to be in 1994, however, when the day came and went, turns out he maade some 'mathematical errors'.
Quote:
Harold Camping has warned that the Rapture would come on May 21st 2011 for years, and end nears, many are left questioning if his Prophecy is fake. The Bible has taught Christians to always be ready for the Second Coming of Jesus at any time, sparking Judgement Day predictions throughout history. Even Harold Camping had a previous prediction of the Return of Jesus for the Rapture that was incorrect due to a mathematical error – when his September 1994 date came and went without incident.
Have a read here,
