NASA tried to land a man on the moon by 2020, and failed. The technology that supposedly worked somehow couldn't work for them anymore, which is quite an achievement!
We know today that aluminum is a lousy radiation shield within the deep space environment. That's why any manned craft going to deep space will not be made of aluminum, nothing like the Apollo craft were.

Yes, it is beyond our capability.
There is a huge difference sending a probe into deep space, compared to humans...
Radiation, primarily, among other severe hazards existing within that environment.

These spacecraft can fly humans within LEO. But, they cannot fly humans safely beyond LEO.
Apollo spacecraft were built of thin aluminum, mainly. This is a good material to use for flying humans into LEO, being light in weight.
However, as I've cited sources on, aluminum is a 'very poor shielding material', for manned spacecraft flying into deep space, beyond LEO. In fact, aluminum makes it WORSE than before for humans. It cannot be more clear than that.
Aluminum spacecraft is only one example of what doesn't work for manned moon missions, there are many others as well.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
The papers state aluminum is a very poor radiation shield within deep space, and makes it even worse than before.
..
Less hazardous doesn't mean aluminum can work, in any way.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Because aluminum would not have shielded this radiation, and made it even worse than before in a spacecraft.
The Apollo craft supposedly detected radiation hitting the outside walls, right? And they detected radiation from inside the craft, true?
If they were in deep space, in an aluminum craft, they would not have any shielding from this radiation, and they'd realize that fact, likely within minutes... without a doubt, it would be known.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Aluminum could not have shielded astronauts going to the moon, which Apollo claimed to do. Not possible.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Nobody in the Apollo-era knew that aluminum made radiation worse than before, within deep space.
Worse means no aluminum craft will ever fly humans into deep space. None. Ever. Period.

You have no proof it was capable of the job, nor any proof it DID the job!
The images and film footage is not proof, in any way.
We could prove a 'time machine' works by using the same methods!
It doesn't prove anything, of course.

Where is your evidence that Apollo astronauts should have, and did, receive a lethal radiation dose?

you are the one trying to get the idea that trips to the moon in an aluminium craft is absolutely 100% impossible.
if that is not your opinion then clarify it immediately.

Do you want to show me where they mention how aluminum craft are possible for manned moon missions?
Not what you think they 'meant', btw...
It is not my opinion about aluminum being a poor shield in deep space, it is a fact.
This is based on fact, not opinion.
The experts state that aluminum is a poor shield, and will not be used to shield humans in any spacecraft going on deep space missions, for that very reason.

by ignoring all the evidence out there for the LM, you think your opinion is more prevalent than someone elses opinion?
so you want to push your opinion that the LM didnt work by your mere opinion only??

Films and images are not evidence the LM worked as claimed. I haven't ignored any of it.

already have.. they have stated in your own article that current technology allows single trips to the moon..
current technology which includes aluminium as the main component of the hull..
and thats not even mentioning that YOU DO NOT NEED TO SHIELD AGAINST GCR's WHEN EXPOSED TO IT FOR 2 WEEKS..
having poor shielding does not make missions to the moon of the Apollo length impossible.. admit to it.. or prove it wrong.

So by saying current technology, you assume is 1960's, Apollo-era technology??
Who knew??

In current technology, allowing for a single moon mission.
Aluminum craft is not current technology, and they don't mention aluminum at all, but they obviously would have 'meant' it that way!!
originally posted by: choos
what feasible shielding technology did we have in 2007 that we didnt have in 1960's?? or even 2009 for that matter when they were forced to cancel constellation (according to you)
p.s. this is further proof you think aluminium makes manned missions to the moon of length any greater than 7 days impossible.
which is the same as saying being exposed to GCR's with aluminium as shielding for any greater than 7 days is DEADLY.

They don't say what "current technology" is, to start with.

thats your twist now??
sorry, but that wont cut it.. because the current shielding technology that they have now is aluminium as evidenced by the construction of Orion's hull using Aluminium.
p.s. and they do mention Aluminium, the entire article was predominantly about aluminum, such denial.
but feel free to show us current technology they had in 2007 that made single missions to the moon possible of which we didnt have in the 60's.. since as you have claimed previously, they just went around the earth for 40 years going backwards with technology which is again contradicting yourself.

They state aluminum is a poor shield for manned missions in deep space, as I've proven to you.
Therefore, building Orion with aluminum shielding means it will not be able to fly humans (safely, at least) into deep space, as in, beyond LEO.
Until I see Orion fly humans into deep space, you have no claim here..
And why would they say aluminum is a poor shield for humans in deep space, and makes it even worse than before, then built it, anyway? This makes no sense, at all.
originally posted by: choos
so Orion isnt using current technology??
originally posted by: choos
so what you are saying is that, even though they have a new feasible means of completely protecting their astronauts from particle radiation (GCR's, the sun, VAB) they chose NOT to use it on their next gen space craft because Orion will be in LEO going through the VAB every 90 mins exposing the occupants to VAB radiation when this new technology would nearly completely nullify VAB particle radiation.
originally posted by: choos
because even if it makes it worse than before it is still very low..
originally posted by: choos
now where is this new shielding that they had in 2007 and lost in 2009 and 2014.

The technology to launch objects into space, get to, and return from the moon did exist then because the US and USSR both managed it. The addition of people into the equation is a minor detail and is by far the least complex part of it.
