My first post in 6 months. What would you do if the world ended in 10 days?

Honestly most people would push it off as a hoax

It's the government after all. You know, hiding the fact that the moon landing wasn't real and the Earth is flat for some reason.

Do you really think there was a live broadcast to earth of the first moonwalk with 60's tech?

Whatchu mean by that?

Just not sure I believe a feed could be broadcast to earth, so far and through radiation. Not doubting a landing was made.

What always got me is the slow-mo. Yadda yadda less gravity to land quickly when leaping, but why is jumping up like they're doing it through a vat of jello too? That and simple walking should be comical in the least, and jittery as heck, with a heckuva lot of falling.
Stp laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand stp laaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.............
- I'mma have to check some footage.

Plus after a whole half a century, you'd figure somone might have dug up some Nazi scientists to make new rockets since the blueprints of the *pauses so the laughter won't make me choke on the apple I just ate* Saturn V got lost.

Yes folks, we haven't gone back to the moon because we. lost. the. blueprints. for. the. rockets.

Okay so I found an answer:
"For the most part, the astronauts appear to move more slowly on the Moon because they are. While their weight was less, their mass was the same. And in addition, the space suits were bulky and stiff. This meant much of their motion was deliberate and slow so that they would not loose their balance and because of the resistance. In fact for the last 3 Apollo missions, they wore a slight modification of their spacesuit so that it could bend at the waist enough that they could actually sit on the Lunar Roving Material.

That said, the camera on Apollo 11, was an earlier model and only did 10fps. Broadcast TV in the US at the time was ~30fps and film was (and still is generally) 24fps.

As such, sometimes the motions of the Apollo 11 astronauts can look even more awkward because we’re seeing about 1/3rd as many frames as we’re used to."

TL;DR
Gravity, bulky stiff space suits, and bad cameras

Yes, yes, and let's not forget the suits were inflated, further hampering movement.

Regardless, stiff or not, leaping forward should have made a grasshopper jealous. Slow on descent is one thing, but acceleration would have been, well, accelarated due to less gravity restraining them.
The jolt forward would have happened once they got going forward. And losing balance should have been easy. Yet no one is teetering forward a wee but too much till the stuit stopped them, etc.
If you threw a rock on the moon, it's not going to fly slowly from the get go. And you would probably send yourself falling after throwing it.

Plus, sure they trained underwater and on planes looping around to mimic the loss of gravity, but that would not have accustomed the vestibuler system to the altered cues from the moon's lesser gravity. That the astronauts didn't look like tightrope walkers trying to balance themselves but forward-wise as opposed to laterally while puking their guts out is practically more amazing than just getting there. Must have megadosed on the Dramamine.

All the flight data was destroyed as well, I think. Now they claim they can no longer build the parts needed. Not sure that sounds like progress.

Yeah, spent the last half century on Skylab and the Shuttle and forever building the International Space Station - all close orbit, near Earth - but no returns to the moon.

haha, one of the purposes of the International Space Station is to learn how to build a habitable station on - yup - THE MOON! Plus Mars as well where they send landers to take pictures of pebbles so we can call them "Winnie the Poo."

Speaking of which, is there any footage from said landers of the surface while they're actually in motion? Can they maybe next time send one to the polar ice cap instead of the usual heap of nothing sand? Oh, can can I donate a camera to the effort so they can get the color right, since the orange was a mistake because they forgot to do the settings once it landed and have thus used the wrong ones ever since so they can match and yadda yadda Chewbacca is more realistic than this nonsense.

But I digress. As for that practice station, here's an idea: WHY NOT BUILD THE FRIKKEN THING ON THE MOON ITSELF TO START WITH!?!

Oh and about the Saturn V

Neil Armstrong wasn't the first person to moonwalk...Michael Jackson did.

Yet Neil's hair never caught on fire. Consider that!

That is wrong. The moonwalk was invented in 1983.

Do you really think they could've replicated the shadow cast by the sun with 60's tech?

They didn't have lights in the 60's?

The shadow cast by the flag in the moon landing is straight. If you want to know what I mean then take a flashlight and point it at an object. As you can see, the shadow becomes wider as it goes on. The flag created a shadow that was clearly not made by any type of light. To reproduce this kind of light, you would need to use a straight beam of light, which is a laser. However, lasers at that time were very expensive and it would take so many lasers to recreate the light needed to cast the shadow.

I could go into a little rant about that, if you're interested

Why not post a question: was the lunar landing a hoax or not?

Ahhh, good idea!

Go ahead.

Dude, they couldn't afford to stage it. It would be easier to go to the moon then actually spend that much moneyb

Staging it, The lighting would have been terrible and there would be no reason to do so. I 100% disagree with your bullshit conspiracy.

Since when was I a conspiracy theorist? Do you know the definition of sarcasm?

If I'm honest. That didn't really sound sarcastic.

Then the sarcasm worked

Well, then I'm just dumb, Sorry for wasting your time.

That was a last-shot at saving my pride sorry-

No problem. At least you have some.

You too-

tHaNKs

yOu'Re WeLcOmE???

yESs

I would overthrow the government. Which honestly if someone tried to overthrow the government they would say that the world is ending in 10 days.

But if I'm being serious, I would try to do what I couldn't do, apologize for my past mistakes, and pray to God for forgiveness.

same

I would work on a survival plan to defy the governments lies

Say to everyone it’s a hoax because the government isn’t always right

These days it's usually wrong.

I wouldn't believe the government

Which begs the question. How does someone without ears wear a facemask?

Maybe he would tie it around his eyeballs? Lol

COVID19 doesn't affect frogs.

We're joking about it how Kermit has no ears so he can't wear a mask.

Tape?

Is that the last nail in the coffin ;)

It's a form of acupuncture.

That also begs another question. How do people without noses breath?

Nose holes

I just looked it up and this came up.

Why

Why not?

Good point

Your welcome.

Meh, not in the mood

Oh. You ok?
