Why has no one been on the moon since 1972?
Weston Super Saint replied to thesaint sfc's topic in The Lounge
I'm not acting as a troll, we have 19c that takes care of that! For me, this has thrown up some questions that I've never really thought about, and far from accepting the opinions from either side of the argument - although I am swaying towards the 'never went there side' - I would like to formulate my own opinions from the evidence of trusted sources. I am not technically savvy, but I would imagine that electrical interference would be interfering more than 200m away, if it were a factor at all, but I'm happy to accept that the distance is right. So the question still remains, why not head due West which in the picture appears to be a completely flat path, with the exception of some boulders which appear to be no more than 1 metre in diameter? -

Sadly not It now appears - from reading the site - that those pictures were taken in 'real time', ie when the astronauts were on the moon. That footpath appears to be quite well worn - indicating a lot of movement to and from the scientific equipment [which if the scale from the other pictures on the site is true, would be about human sized] - so where are the astronauts? If we can see the equipment, surely we should be able to see the astronauts? Or is it just coincidence that the photographs exist of the lunar module in orbit, then landing, then only another one after the astronauts have all packed up and gone in the module again! Also, did they take the 'buggy' home with them? If not, where is it, because it isn't in the picture. Perhaps they drove it away from the module so as not to interfere with the takeoff, so where are the corresponding tracks? -

Baj presented what is apparently a recent picture, showing evidence that man has been on the moon. For me, this picture has thrown up some questions which don't add up. If you have the answers to the questions I will happily listen to them and read the sources you quote from. -

I agree, and have stated if they needed to site the equipment away from their spaceship, did it have to be 200m away? I also agree that 200m is not that far - especially if they can bounce approx 10m with every step. However, this poses another question, why the need for a lunar buggy to travel such a short distance in the first place? Finally, if the dust created from the spaceship as it lifted off was going to be so destructive, why can we clearly see the 'footpath' around the Antaris module in the picture - assuming the spacecraft took off from that approx location, wouldn't that footpath have been covered by the same dust that would have covered the equipment? -

Surely all these things will mean that we will know? If you're using this photo to prove unequivocally - despite not knowing any of the answers to the questions that I have posed - then I would suggest your evidence is also pretty weak. -

Do you think it makes sense to travel all that way - all the while using up precious oxygen - if they didn't have to? If they did have to, surely the reason why would be well documented wouldn't it? Therefore, 'someone' knows -

So, the simple question is, why did they go that way? -

Weston Super Saint replied to thesaint sfc's topic in The Lounge
er yes it is actually...... from wiki: Height: 20.9 ft 6.37 m Diameter: 14 ft 4.27 m Judging by the scale bar the larger crater of the pair directly above the word 'footpath' and bisected by the astronauts footpath is about 10-12m diameter, so it is quite conceivable that there are plenty of boulders that can't be seen in the photo that would need to be walked/bounced/driven around Not if they headed due West from the module -

Lol. Their 'mission' was to leave scientific equipment on the moon, which was going to get no interference from anyone or anything EVER. The biggest question I have is WHY did they feel the need to travel over 200 metres away from the Antaris module to set this up? Why, if the distance was so important to them did they travel in such a circuitous route heading at one point BETWEEN two craters? Surely if they had to travel away from the module to set up the equipment they would have headed directly WEST which [from the picture] appears to have a completely clear path? If they didn't need to travel - and I'm pretty sure that the availability of oxygen in the oxygen less atmosphere would have an influence - why didn't they set up the equipment right there where they landed? -

If it is a FOOTpath, they would take the shortest path surely? We can't see the smaller rocks because there aren't any! We can see the Lunar module quite clearly and it isn't exactly the size of a house is it? If it's supposed to be the buggy tracks, I would expect to see parallel lines, unless of course it was really a motorbike with two wheels! -
Trust me, there is still time for it to fail

Or go in straight lines!! However, the annotation on the picture clearly states astronaut FOOTpath -

Just dragged their feet instead. Oh, and completely forgot about the principle that the shortest distance between two objects is a straight line -

They could go and clean up the rubbish they left. Fcking litter louts. -

Why would there be a footpath - certainly one so pronounced - when all the pictures show the astronauts 'bouncing' in their reduced gravity gait? -
Can Marc - Lifelong Pompey fan - Jackson not help them out? It would be great if he got involved.

It's past midnight, so can I have one?

Anyone have some good quality photos

You'll have a look when you get home and have time :smt102 -
It could be worse. Imagine if it was a Moose :shock:
