THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

Hmmmmm, ok.
Yeah, great...but didn't they actually land people ON THAT MOON, let them walk around and then bring them back.....in 1969 over 50 years ago....

This is FAR from being the coolest thing in the world

Was so much cooler than looking at tRump's ugly face on the news. I watched the moon landing back in '69, and yes, it was way more exciting. But then we were not dealing with the shit that is going on now.

Thank you! I cannot for the life of me understand why people are so excited about this. We watched men walk on the moon; Artemis went up there to fly around the block a few times.

For the first flight to the moon the mathematicians used slide rules. These days, who knows what a slide rule is?

I’m not gonna disagree but think about what they did more than 50 years ago with less computing power than we have in our pockets now.

One of the Gemini flights landed 200 miles off course because someone forgot that Earth rotated. I’m sure everyone involved appreciates the computers of today.

That’s what I’m just floored by. I looked up what time splashdown was this morning. It said 8:07pm eastern. And that’s exactly when they did!

They used Newton’s theory of gravity to compute the path to the Moon and back.

The next time you use GPS to navigate in your car, consider that Newton’s theory isn’t accurate enough for that, you need corrections from Einstein’s General Relativity in order for satnav to work.

We used to come back in a plane And land at an airport ! Are we going backwards ?

I wouldn't really say it's backwards. It's more of a "what's the right tool for the mission?" question, and a cost vs. benefit analysis. The "space plane" concept has its uses, but going to the moon isn't really one of them at this point.

The plane wasn’t all that cheap despite a lot of reusability and wasn’t near safe enough. These capsules are much safer because they sit above all the explosive stuff and have an abort procedure.

No, the plane was for trips up to ISS. It docks there and flies back and forth.

Orion was a capsule with rockets attached, it had to go all the way to the moon so it had to be smaller and lighter. And it needed more propulsion and fuel.

No, because they did this with three human beings in the 1960's *without computers*, calculating the whole thing *by hand*.. That's the coolest people around.
