Boom.
this is that swedish probe crashing on the moon right?
Reminds me of that story of a satellite they managed to get close to a comet. After it finished all its missions studying the comet, someone in mission control got the brilliant idea that they might be able to land on it. The satellite actually managed to pull that off physically intact and still communicating with the people on the ground.Meanwhile, crashing into the moon is funneh.
>>314138crashing into the moon is funnehthey crashed on purpose though
so is this 4000 mb gif CP or not
>>314130Well, thats more than the united states of america have done in the moon.But i mean f0h real eh, not in a studio.
Ah, must be Goku turning SSJ. They'll finally leave namek!
This is where our tax dollars are going - high-quality images of planetary surfaces.
>>314399Anyone with a bit of common sense knows the U.S. landed on the moon for real.
>>314520then why are we going back, we forgot our pen? i mean come on, what else do they need to gather from the moon, they should be focusing on more outward areas like mars, instead of talking bout going 'back' to the moon.
>>314525I could think of several reasons for going back to the moon.First of all, the moon has little in the ways of atmosphere. Stuff hits the moon, dosnt burn up in entry; stays more less on the moon. That means chances of new soil samples, for one.
the horrors on the moon are beyond belief. That's why they faked it, they're not gonna send these guys to certain death, not until they develop weaponry that will work effectively in the moons gravity/vacuum
You people are funny.There's one reason the US wants to go back to the moon:1)Gravity, or actually the lack of it.The moon has only a fraction of earths gravity (about 1/6) which means you don't need the heavy lift rockets to operate there like you do on earth. This makes the moon an excellent stepping stone to mars since if a ship could leave from the moon it would only need 1/6 the fuel, or if it carried the same amount of fuel it would get mars and back about 3x faster since since it could use all the extra fuel for burns in space to accelerate and slow down on the way to mars and back instead of using all that fuel just to escape earth's gravity.
No.314566 thats a cool idea, with that low gravity mars can be a possibility. And yes the U.S has gone to the moon those who say they haven't either are jealous that they infact did it, or haven't done any research and are basing their facts on rouge conspiracy cooks.
>>314566Wrong!! Bush wants to build a moonbase so he can point a frikken laser at earth and demand 1 million dollars from the president of the USA.
>>314541The know-how of the Apollo- missions have pretty much been forgotten so they need to practice on the Moon before more ambitious targets. Not that the Moon is easy, by any means. The technology has gone forward in the last 30 years, so pretty much everything has to be designed again. As for the possible results from the Moon, well we know very little about the inner structure and composition. Could be a good idea to get to know the neighbourhood before setting a base there. By the way the Mars- mission will be a 2-year one regardless of the starting point(Moon/Earth)

are you sure this is not a close up image of acne?
Plan to conquer stars:A)build cheap effective leoB)build space station that can be used to assemble ships in spaceC)build effective ships that can transport large amounts of material and landing partiesD)establish lunar base and lunar orbital station.E)using the lunar base and orbital station, repeat required steps to get to marsF)again, repeat steps to get to the Asteroid beltG)???H)PROFIT!
