NASA Astronaut Don Pettit "We Can't Go Back To The Moon, We Don't Have That Technology An more"
I think I would prefer that the scientists and engineers who worked on the Apollo program comment on that matter rather than an egotistical stick jockey. The reality is that we have the technology to do so, but we don't have the expertise and ingenuity to do it from the documentation alone. A lot of knowledge of the tweaks and tunings that went into the development of the whole program have been lost simply because it was not documented or recorded in any lasting way. Lots of historical achievements suffer from that same problem and we can't replicate them today either. Take Nikola Tesla's work for example. Can we reproduce all of his inventions exactly the way he made them?
When the statement was made, we simply lacked the manufactured rocket technology to go back to the moon. It doesn't in any way imply we lost the technological capability or the technology base. It simply means we don't currently have the specific object to deliver us there.
If everyone stopped making buses and someone said, "we no longer have the technology to delivery 100 people down the road", that doesn't mean we never had buses. Yet this is precisely what so many dishonest people falsely assert it means.
There really isn't much of interest on the moon unless we're willing to build a base there and use it to explore other planets. If there isn't a technology nor financial interest to do so the required technology to enable it will simply languish. Which is precisely what has happened.
The original moon race was the race to develop heavy lift platforms for nuclear weapons and spy satellites. We have this technology. Given there isn't a need/desire to push further, this is where the technology has settled.
Who wants to tell him about the telemetry data?
Aside from people crying we don't have the ORIGINAL telemetry data tapes, absolutely no one has missed it. Copies of the data span all of the communication centers around the world. What exactly are we missing and if it's so important why did it take decades before anyone noticed and decades more to decide they cared, and only because it supports the Jewish psyop that White Aryans never went to the moon?
This is the aspect of moon that has always frustrated and fascinated me.
The literal epitome of human scientific engineering and socio-relgio-everything dealing with the moon; to have a human step foot on it. To escape the earth for a brief moment, piercing the firmament or whatever is actually up there, and achieving something that we can't prove has ever happened, ever.
.... And we didn't record it well enough to last the next, oh what, 60 or so years? The math hasn't changed. The tech, especially with materials is, allegedly, better than then.
I don't know, it just seems retarded.
