    NASA has launched 6 successful manned missions to the moon, not one.

    I didn't watch your video because I've seen it all before. It is simply too expensive to keep sending people to the moon.

    And nobody cared too much about the moon landings and whatnot after it was done.

    Lack of funding, political will and public interest.

    Plus better science has been done with unmanned missions for a faction of the costs.

    Simple question, simple answer.

    It would be a fantastic idea. Think of all the pictures in HD we could view. In fact I don't see why there is not a small base on the moon at this stage:confused:

    Or maybe there is something on the moon that they don't want us to see.

    dammit i put gone wrong :o

    I meant the last one not once:p


    I think public interest with all the new technology and footage would be alot more interested now.
    And watch the video :P

    Why did NASA never return to the moon?

    Why did Hillary never climb Everest again?

    No oil.

    There's loads of oil left, just costs more to get it now.

    Same reason for the moon, cost. There is no Cold War, no competition, no unlimited funds to beat the other side.

    Everything has a price, it's who's willing to fund and pay that's the question.

    True that, but there is the future space equivalent of oil on the moon. H3, massive amounts of it.

    Is it possible they have been back and letting on they havent,and in cahoots with alien life forms harvesting humans and animals and getting technology and this fuel you speak of?

    Very possible. Probably very likely as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 560 ✭✭✭Flaregon


    My guess is "if there are building up there" that its mostlikely russia got the moon first and build stations and used soft were editing to make Number stations :) LOL.

    but the reason is the cost, you dont speed billions on a new rocket just to get to the moon again....... what they should do is head to mars.

    One theory as to why we have never gone back to the moon comes from Ingo Swan who is known as the father of remote viewing.

    The Americans had a classified remote viewing program for twenty years and they had many brilliant people working on it. The project was known as Stargate and was carried out at the Stanford Research Institute with CIA funding. Remote viewing is the ability to gather information about an unseen target from a distance using ESP (extra-sensory perception). The nature of the technique makes it very hard to prove it actually works but many people believe it is possible. The Russians have the most advanced remote viewing program in the world and it's supposed to be still active at present.

    To cut a long story short, Ingo Swan claims to have remote viewed the dark side of the moon. He says there is already a base established there and it’s not of this world and that the dudes operating this base are not of this world either. He says they have some sort of mining operation going on. He believes mankind is not welcome on the moon and that this is the reason we have never been back or attempted to build a base. Quite some story.

    Bit suspect if you ask me. Can't see so much of the moon even though the photos were taken 50k from the moons surface. Without an atmosphere etc.

    Its extremely easy to conduct tests to see if it works. All you have to do is place an object in a room that the subject can't see, and ask them to remotely view it. However, they always fail these tests, because its absolute nonsense. They can only ever 'view' things that are far away and unprovable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭WakeUp


    I don't know if this man is telling the truth or not how could I'm not an expert, no more than you are, saying it is absolute nonsense is a bit rash really the US government spent alot of money and twenty years researching it maybe there is something to it who knows. Interesting all the same if nothing else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    As people have said before it's too costly to keep doing it.

    Also they would be considered to be in the lead of the space race now so there is no need.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,225 ✭✭✭Yitzhak Rabin


    All I'm saying is, it is very very easy to test remote viewing. Those who have been tested consistently fail. This leads me to believe the claims of remote viewers are bogus.

    Why would you believe what he says?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭WakeUp


    To be honest I dont know of many other remote viewers I remember hearing Ingo Swann on coast to coast AM a few years back that's how I heard about his story started reading up on remote viewing then. I read his book aswell his story is so far out you couldn't make it up but like I said I'm not sure what to believe, maybe hes onto something maybe its bull just don't know for sure but it is fairly interesting if nothing else.

    Whats H3????

    Sorry if its a silly question


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    Id guess hydrogen compressed to the power of 3? or 3 times? just a guesstimate though :)

    Dont think so, it might be an isomer of hydrogen like deuterium or something like that. Thats what i initially assumed but i couldnt think of a reason why there would be loads of it on the moon.

    H3 anyone???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭WakeUp


    He-3 is an isotope of helium, it is abundent on the surface of the moon scientists reckon if extracted properly it could be used as an alternative fuel source for example in fusion reactors. It has a really low level of radioactivity if nuclear power plants used He-3 to heat water and turn it into pressurised steam, as opposed to nuclear fission, it would reduce the danger of them dramatically.

    Apparently it is formed by solar winds. He-3 is found in our sun and the gas planet giants. Particles of the element are pushed off from the sun then bombarded with cosmic rays which knock neutrons out of the helium particles. The particles then re-combine forming He-3 on the lunar surface.

    It never reaches the surface of the earth because it burns up in our atmosphere. The moon doesnt have an atmosphere so it doesnt have that problem.

    I agree with caseyann.

    I think they were warned off. Sites with content like this are always very interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    Is there any copies made of these ham radio recordings?

    expalins it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_hydrogen#Hydrogen-3_.28tritium.29

    H3 is Tritium. It's Helium3 youre thinking of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3 it would be very useful in projected fusion reactors. Bugger all on earth, lots on the moon.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
