Armstrong At 4:30 "Today a spaceshuttle flies overhead with an international crew. A number of countries have international space programs. During the space age we have increased the knowledge of our universe a thousandfold"
That's funny...After Apollo we decreased the distence a thousandfold. To reach the moon is about 1000 times further than reaching Space Shuttle's low earth orbit. :-)

Mythbusters also said you need a 1 gigawatt laser to get back 2-3 photons from the LRRR
Please show us exactly where they said that....

But the Hubble telescope, which was repaired by the Shuttle in low Earth orbit, has allowed scientists to observe the furthest edge of the Universe! (Do try to stay current.)

Whatever DJW001....men's distance from earth decreased a thousandfold. I know it's painfull for apollo believers.

Amazing. You can watch a video that pretty definitively proves that men have been to the Moon and then post it as evidence that they haven't. I agree with the astronomer in this clip.

No DJW001 even if the reflector is on the moon (and that's not even certain). You don't need a man physicly to put it there.

First, there is absolutely no doubt that the retro-reflectors are there. They have been monitored nearly constantly by scientists from all around the world. You can even arrange to attend a sounding in person if you want... just contact your local university's Astronomy Department. As for physically placing it there: if it is possible to place instruments on the Moon with such precision (the reflectors are pointing straight up, not buried face down) why would it not be possible to do that with humans?edit on 19-1-2014 by DJW001 because: Edit to correct typo.

The video clip shows the dust/dirt rises at the same time as Young jumps up. The dust/dirt reaches to nearly the same height as the bottom line of his boots. And then the dust/dirt falls to the ground before he even begins to descend to ground.
If you don't believe that, look at it frame by frame.
It is clearly evidence that he was suspended, and that's why he fell much slower than the dust/dirt, which was not being suspended.
The video is not even showing it frame by frame, because that would show the dust/dirt DOES fall much faster than Young. And that's why he uses two bars, and claims pixels show it is at the same speed.
Look at the frames, please. And if possible, post the frames, so everybody else can see the truth.

What are you trying to say...if you throw a reflector on the moon you don't know if he is facing upward ?
You have a 50 percent change he is facing upward. Just throw more and you know for sure one is...it's called statistics. Or make reflectors on both sides...easy does it.

What are you talking about? We have a probe that will be arriving at Pluto in the near future and there are not one but two private crewed ventures to Mars in the works.

Why would you go through all the trouble and expense of "throwing" something at the Moon, then hoping that random chance will leave the equipment facing the right way? Do you give any thought to what you are about to post before you post it?

Well maybe a travel to the chocolate bar factory. human Travel to the planet mars can't be done in many many years to come. Sorry apollo-believer, it won't happen. And there is also no human traveling to pluto.

Since they are planning on using Russian technology, you are probably right.

tell that to the russians they couldn't get there attempts to work because they didn't have a person to set it up.
He is not talking about 2 or 3 photons but Is this exactly enough ? How much does it take to make it to the moon and back ? AT 1 minuut and 50 seconds....
The Apollo 15 Lunar Laser Ranging RetroReflector (LRRR) array is one of four such working arrays on the surface of the Moon. As the largest (105 x 65 cm in size) it serves as the primary target for laser ranging to the Moon.
The Apollo 15 array is one of four usable such arrays on the Moon. The others are at the Apollo 11 and Apollo 14 sites, and on the Lunokhod 2 rover.
Mythbusters did not explain the process of how Dave Scott precisely aligned the instrument. It must have been very difficult to align the mirror. Mythbusters did not ask the question if a robot could precisely align a mirror in 1971.
It was placed on the Moon by astronaut David Scott on 1971 July 31.
Laser beams are used because they remain tightly focused for large distances. Nevertheless, there is enough dispersion of the beam that it is about 7 kilometers in diameter when it reaches the Moon and 20 kilometers in diameter when it returns to Earth. Because of this very weak signal, observations are made for several hours at a time.
The Soviets landed two rovers on the moon, called Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2, on the Luna 17 and Luna 21 missions in 1970 and 1973, respectively.
Now both Lunokhod reflectors are routinely used, though the large size of the cubes makes them more susceptible to thermal distortions, so that the return is about 30 times weaker in lunar daylight than in lunar night. On the other hand, the larger size makes for a tighter diffraction pattern during lunar night, so the effective cross-section becomes slightly larger than the Apollo 11 and Apollo 14 arrays during these periods.
