I mean, look at the shitty computers we used 25 years ago compared to today. This was 40 years ago.
I just cant see us getting to the moon w/ the technology we had.
yeah--and a teenager almost started a nuclear war in the late 80's using an apple IIe, which has less computational power than the average scientific calculator.
look, innovation is one of the hallmarks of the human race. ever heard of the pyramids? yeah, pretty cool, eh? they were done quite a while back. just because something happened without technology doesn't mean it isn't possible. [Reply]

Bad example. Everybody knows aliens built the pyramids. [Reply]

Well my big issue was the radiation belts, but after I read about what really happened, I don't really have much of an argument anymore.
They said that the amount of radiation those guys were exposed to is the same amount as I am exposed to over the course of 3 years at sea level. [Reply]

Well before computers, calculations were made using this thing called math(you know Trigonometry, Calculus etc). You might have heard about it. [Reply]

While I honestly don't think we did it, I think its funnier seeing everybody call me a jackass.
If there's anything that pisses my generation off, its when fellow members of it don't bother to do any homework before spewing uneducated, unadulterated garbage and thus making making jackasses of the rest of us.

For the love of God, get at least a modicum of understanding of basic physics before shitting on the work of some of the most brilliant minds our nation has produced. [Reply]
Seriously though, has anyone ever seen the footage of the ascent stage of the LM taking off from the Moon? I believe it was Apollo 15. The camera shows the ascent engine firing and then pans up to follow the LM's ascent.
How did they do that, unless it really was a sound stage?
