you sound fun. i'll bite...
oh I am fun. let's play.
auntiebling said:the far more advanced technology we have now is part of the reason we don't need to go back. unmanned gizmos can be built to do everything humans can do.
makes no sense and disagree about gizmos being able to do "everything" humans can do.
pick up a rock-check
look around-check
call AAA when your ride breaks down leaving you stranded a mile from the only ride home while your Oxygen runs out- check
perform minor analysis on the spot-check
lmao - is this how human archaeologists, geologists and all the other Earth science -ologists have conducted research on this planet? is that how they excavate ancient sites or find/unearth complete brontosaurus skeletons? you make things sound rather simple. conveniently so. in the grand scheme of our existence in the universe, how does our stupid-close moon not deserve more attention? waiting for a good answer - anyone at all.
auntiebling said:proximity is a pretty poor reason to return somewhere. next time you're bored, maybe go to the kitchen and see if it interests you? if not, try the living room again?
what? you're comparing rooms in your own house, that you know like the back of your hand... to exploring "strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before"!?
on second thought, I guess the kitchen could actually qualify for some guys lolzauntiebling said:the primary reason we went to the moon was politics and propaganda, coldwar bullshit to beat the USSR. when JFK announced "we;re going to the moon" the collective response of the scientific community was "uh, WTF!"
exactly. hope you realize that only helps to make the case for those who think the moon landing was fake.
auntiebling said:you don't have to put boots on the ground to Explore something. the moon has been under constant scrutiny since Whats His Name that italian guy pointed his telescope skyward during the renaissance. it's cold, has been hit by a bunch of stuff that left craters behind, the far side is far more pockmarked than the side we see and it's been mapped, remapped, and mapped again.
f yeah. all the moon is good for is a gnarly track for our RC dune buggies to rip around on.
auntiebling said:and there you go jumping into NonSequitursville. there's quite a bit of waste in nasa too. waste is a good reason to Stop Manned Missions, as they take longer to plan/execute and cost way more to begin with. generally speaking, the bigger the initial budget, the more of it will be wasted
again, this makes no sense whatsoever given my previous arguments. but clearly i'm alone in my logic - as I often am in this place. all good!
