  61.  @KingRahiem  First of all, Apollo cost about 130 billion dollars, and their current budget is HALF of what it was in the 60s and another half of that is devoted to non-spaceflight research. It's extremely expensive and nobody really wants to pay for it. Second, only three countries have manned space programs at all: the US, Russia, and China. Russia's own moon attempts ended in disaster. The truth is that they spent more time and money than they should have trying to show up the Americans to the point of neglecting the N-1, their equivalent to the Saturn V, and when they rushed development to try and get back on schedule, they wound up with a piece of garbage that blew up when they tried to launch it. The N-1, it turned out, had a fatal design flaw in their engine design where a single rocket would cause too much vibration. In order to fix this, they would have basically scrap much of it and start over, and so they shelved it because like any sane and reasonable person would notice, wasting any more time on this failed endeavor would result in them being behind in everything else forever and never being relevant again because the Americans weren't going to sit there waiting for them to catch up. The reality is that today, 50 years later, neither Russia nor China have any MOTIVE not to take their sweet ass time. You can only be first ONCE and the moon ain't going anywhere, at least not very fast. Without the Cold War space race driving it, you are essentially spending a very, very large amount of money for ultimately not a whole lot of actual gain. Robots would be cheaper and can last years on the moon because they don't need food, air, or water, and for all the talk people give about mining, the only resource of any actual value (helium 3) is both able to be synthesized in a lab and primarily desired for a hypothetical energy source that doesn't work and isn't expected to be commercially viable for another fifty years. Do you know WHY we built the space shuttle, by the way? Because the Apollo-era technology was deemed too inefficient and too expensive to justify long-term operations. Especially since Apollo and before are all single-use spacecraft. You need to build a new one every single launch because they can only be used once. And so they tried to work on technology to make spaceflight cheaper (which failed by the way) and built the first REUSABLE spacecraft. But building reusable spacecraft is "moving backwards". Working on long-term medical experiments before committing to long-term colonization plans is "moving backwards". Developing water and air reclamation systems that work in space and physics experiments that will be used to design future equipment and all of the other shit they do on the ISS is "moving backwards". Never let a conspiracy theorist program your computer. They'll stick to the first method they find that works no matter how much of a memory hog it is, evolve it into a convoluted mess, and never ever rework anything because optimization and bug fixing is "moving backwards."

  84.  @kidwave1  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HdPi9Ikhk Nixon call's just after 55:00. You can actually hear the echo other times Mission Control talks as well, not just him. The astronauts take 8 seconds and 4 to respond to him. Other fun things the hoaxers will never show you in this footage. 5:20 Armstrong directly calls out the lack of the crater. During this entire time he does so, he's moving a cord around with normal arm speeds so he's clearly not at slow motion. 22:00. Aldrin jumps off the lander. he immediately attempts to jump back on, misses, then does it again, hoisting himself about 3 feet with basically no effort. Normal Earth speed arm movements and body movements immediately after "slow motion" fall so he's not slowed either. Both astronauts do a mobility test directly in front of the camera and you can see their arms are not slowed. 25:15 Both astronauts comment on the lack of a crater again. 34:00 The camera is moved away from the ship. It spins a full 360 degrees while doing so, though is very blurry, then is spun about 270 back afterwards once the camera's in place. Nobody else is there. You can also skip the footage around and see that after the flag is placed, it doesn't move even a centimeter for the entire rest of the footage despite the lies about there being wind. There's also a segment I didn't find the timestamp for quickly (and can't be bothered to look) where the astronauts deliberately kick the dust around. Between that and the camera mounted in the LEM window, you can see the dust fly at least a good 15 feet.
