This again? Seriously - how many times? One astronaut, Don Pettit, speaking in 2017 used an unfortunate turn of phrase. Since then, conspiracy theorists and those that parrot their nonsense have obsessively fixated upon it because that's what they do. However, if you have a modicum of intelligence, critical faculty, integrity and the will to objectively appraise the information that you receive and you place his sentence within it's full and intended context, then it's abundantly clear what he is referring to. The premature cancellation of Apollo in 1972 due to the retraction of funding from congress and the lack of political and public will, resulted in the abandonment of the specific expertise, the tooling, the production processes, the plants and most significantly, the heavy lift capability that sent crewed missions to the moon. Emphasis was placed instead on low Earth orbit, primarily, the development of the Space Shuttle which promised much, but failed to deliver in terms of it's commercial and financial returns and launch cadence. The other huge project was obviously the construction of the ISS. Neither of which send man to the surface of the moon. Deep space exploration became the preserve of unmanned missions - robotic landers and probes. Pettit was speaking prior to the approval of Project Artemis that will return man to the surface of the moon. The technology of Apollo is old and obsolete but since much of the hardware remains, you can understand that his use of the word 'destroyed' was metaphorical. Rebuilding a manned programme to the moon using modern technology that has superseded that of Apollo has been a protracted and painstaking process on a budget that is a fraction of that of Apollo. Why is it even necessary to explain this?...again?

@zerkfiter At first, I thought that this was sarcasm and a joke - but you're actually being serious aren't you. Yeah right, because after all, nothing says informed, honest and accurate like a former cab driver and convicted felon, ex stalker and religious cult member, one time advertisement maker that managed to get himself ostracised by the entire industry and a proven liar and fraud with absolutely no specialist knowledge of scientific expertise whatsoever.

Yes, because nothing says 'National Hero' quite like a convicted felon and stalker, ex cult member and proven liar and fraud.

So you base the legitimacy on the moon landings based upon Anthony Kiedis' sophomore lyrics? Not only that, you completely fail to understand the intended context?
2
@zerkfiter Disagree with what precisely? Nothing to do with me, you can verify all of it for yourself.
2
Because the Apollo missions were genuine and the scientific evidence speaks for itself, there is about as much chance of that happening as there is you figuring out how to disable your caps lock key.

Precisely what technology was "lost/destroyed"?

At least three months later you goons have stopped mindlessly parroting this nonsense about Torr values. Stronger vacuum? A vacuum is nothing, it doesn't exert a force. The suits were internally pressurised to 4.2psi - that's all they needed to withstand and you need to know.

In a military base? Which one? I've heard " a hangar in Edwards AFB, California, Cannon AFB New Mexico, Area 51 Nevada... What of the Utah or Arizona deserts? Devon Island Canada? And yet others insist it was a Hollywood studio or Shepperton UK? You goons can't even get your stories straight. I guess it depends upon which conspiracy theorist you allow yourself to be duped by. Got to say though, that must be some "military base"' to convincingly replicate 1/6 th gravity and the vacuum of the lunar surface - not to mention the precise reconstruction of Theophilus in The Sea of Tranquility; the Head Crater vicinity, Ocean of Storms; the Fra Mauro Formation near Cone Crater; the eastern edge of Mare Imbrium, Hadley Rille; The Descartes Highlands; and the eastern edge of Mare Serenitati in the Taurus Littrow Valley. Shout out to the props department too, that managed to fashion fake moonrock consistent which each of those six landing sites and collectively dupe an entire branch of science called geology for over half a century in the process.

@TexMex421 I like it. Do you think it'll catch on with these idiots?

What?

On the contrary, there were nine manned missions to the moon and six landings. It would have been at least ten had it not been for the near catastrophe and aborted landing of Apollo 13 and the premature cancellation of the programme and with it, Apollo 18, 19 and 20.

What "lead core batteries"? What extreme temperatures...in a vacuum?

@AndyBrownlie Errr right. Because meanwhile, the online conspiracy theory that you consume and regurgitate is completely honest, consistent, accurate, reliable, not in the least bit deceptive, or in any way manipulative? Righto. And why should anyone listen to a random gullible conspiracy believer with absolutely no knowledge of the subject whatsoever, that can't even compose a sentence?
1
@AndyBrownlie No, it boils down to actually learning about the subject that you wish to brand as fake instead of allowing ridiculous online grifters and conspiracy theorists to tell you what to think.
1
@AndyBrownlie So you actually think that the Earth is flat? Right, that's all I needed to know. Bye then.
