2 nasa employees admitting people can't go to the moon yet....

I can't bring it more clearly to you then what these nasa employees have to say.

Nasa engineer Kelly Smith, talking about the Van Allen belt :

"We must solve this challenge before we send people through this region of space"

ISS Commander Terry Virts is saying :

"Right now we only can fly in earth orbit"

I think this will bring the apollo fairytale to an end.

What do you think ?

Way out of context and edited to suit the You Tubers agenda.
"Right now we can only fly in Earths orbit " does not mean we never went to the moon.

For Apollo to get astronauts through the safer part of the Van Allen belts, they had to fly a round-about trajectory that took a lot of fuel. For future space missions to be efficient enough to take large manned payloads beyond earth orbit, it is essential that they would not need to take this fuel-sucking trajectory.

If future manned missions beyond earth's orbit are to be meaningful (larger and more massive craft/larger and more massive payloads to be able to actually DO something other than just land on the Moon), they need to be able to take a more direct path outward.

Exactly, right now means, oddly enough right now, today we cannot because we do not have a lift vehicle or system powerful enough. This is because we left the Saturn V to rot away....we as a nation lost the ability to travel to the moon as we did in the 1960's.

They did solve it, they flew through the weakest point really fast.

Apollo fairytale....nice
Sounds like you genuinely don't believe we went to the moon. Shame.

The first video, in the first 10 seconds, shows how manipulative it is.

It's fun taking things out of context to make fiction.

a reply to: webstra

i think your information is not accurate.

go check out the photo archive they just released.

I think we went to the Moon.

Shucks. I thought this was going to be something worth discussing.

Turns out nope, just some crap seized upon, taken wildly out of context, spun and spun and spun, given a dash of shake n bake to be semi palatable and then vomited from YouTube to ATS.

Do you folks even try anymore, or is this the best you can come up with?

We also need to find a way to travel in space without using planetary assist to pick up speed.

Pretty sure the clip about the Van Allen belt has been posted here multiple times...

Just like the 9/11 nonsense there is no way a conspiracy of that magnitude could be kept secret.

Bad quotes, out of context, and ignoring all of the actual data.

We sent men to the moon. I watched the landing on television. I know what fake looked like back then, and that wasn't.

I can't believe anyone still tries this "fake moon landing" stuff. Isn't there a hoax section for this sort of nonsense?

So, when I look through my telescope and see the trash and beer bottles littering the moon, was it alien teenagers that drink the Budweiser, that left mechanical crap behind?
A hologram projected onto the surface to fool me?
I think that if a mind is too open, it fills with trash rather quickly! *__-

I think we went to the Moon.

I think some people have gone to the Moon...minus a spacecraft.

a reply to: webstra They nuked the van allen belt trying to blast a hole through it and made it worse. I don't think we went, it was all part of the cold war BS. The project was called the Starfish Prime, why nuke it if it didn't matter?

a reply to: maxzen2004

Starfish Prime wasn't anywhere near the van Allen belt.

Way out of context. We went to the moon for real.

a reply to: webstra

I cannot understand why people choose to believe these ridicules ideas

Did you know everyone in America is actually a robot? And when foreigners visit our lands there put in a simulation.
