why have no other countries landed people on the Moon yet? If the USA could do it 50 years ago, surely some other country could do it now with all the new technology since then.

people lost focus on the moon
everyone's focused on being gay and going to mars

Russia landed on the moon... several satellites
it's a good question why people aren't willing to set foot on the moon anymore, maybe it's the cost/benefit disparity or they're just not as crazy as yanks are

USA has lots of money to waste

Most don't

USA wasn't been "wasting" money on the moon anymore as well
maybe >everyone's focused on being gay
is right

There's no benefit of putting humans on it. It's better and cheaper to work on robots in space advancements for now.

>USA could do it 50 years ago

he still wants to believe.

Because Europeans are smart and spend their limited resources on gender studies and providing homes refugees.

>USA wasn't been "wasting" money on the moon anymore as well
the fuck did i just read lmao

>USA """"landed"""" on the moon 50 years ago with shitty technology
>50 years later they can't even get into space without Russian help

wew

Why though? How does it beneift a country other than just having that noted down as an accomplishment? The only reason going to the moon should be done is to harvest it for resources and riches.

or visit
or do if just because you can, which is why they did

there was no resources to bring back when they did go and whatever that is that it is not cost effective to do

if we had to technology to do it cheaply it would be much better to do it for the asteroid belt since it has much more resources and riches than the moon

during the cold war it wasn't about the pay back but to show off what the system was capable off, once we knew the ussr wasn't able to do it we didn't have to push the boundary any further

just being lazy

>2016
>humanity still hasn't stepped foot on another planet

India or China are likely the next country to join the lunar club.

Europe is slowly becoming a backwater. They don't have the adventurous and virile spirit the US has.

US makes trips to space on a regular basis. Launching communication satellites and scientific probes.

Because the moon and mars belong to us now, that would be invasion if they land on the moon.

If some Europeans landed on the moon, how long would it take before some syrian refugees land and rape them?

It never happened faggot

Long term investment ahmed. There are a fuckton of precious metals up there brought in by meteors. Once the value of cargo outweighs the cost of surface-to-surface launch, we'll be fucking rich.

China and Russia have.

>India

Maybe in 2030

>China

Already did

>They don't have the adventurous and virile spirit the US has.
I've noticed this too. They're the sick old man of the planet, desperately counting the last couple of sperm cells still swimming in their decrepit balls

USA cannot go to the moon in the technique 50 years ago. All is the forgery that USA made.

...

> Russia landed on the moon... several satellites
Russia (USSR) landed two nuclear-power tanks there, not satellites.


1972, Dec 7 - Apollo 17 lands.
1973, Jan 15 - Lunkhod 2 lands. No human ever goes to Moon after this.

Because landing on the moon gives you nothing but prestige.

What is the most iconic spacecraft? As in when someone hears the word "spaceship" this is what they think of.

>unironically believes moon landing was real

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle
No contest.

All the evidence is in front of you. Just open your ey-

>flag

Oh nvm.

what's the point even
you went there, confirmed that there's fuck all to do, no one has a reason to dump millions of bucks into going there, case closed

>or they're just not as crazy as yanks are

We prefer "industrious"

> What is the most iconic spacecraft? As in when someone hears the word "spaceship" this is what they think of.
Some sci-fi nonsense. Humans never built proper spacecraft.

> shuttle
Oh, come on. It has "aerodynamics" written all over. Even Sputnik was more "spacecrafty".

>or visit
Lets be honest, the surface of the moon looks really boring.

the uss enterprise, not the carrier

the Himalayas looks boring too but people still go

Chile doesn't even have a space program.

We were too busy claiming Mars.

If our ancestors thought like you then we wouldn't have Australia or New Zealand.

This. There is nothing there. You might as well be in orbit. Mars too. Heck, orbiting space stations at Lagrange points are infinitely better than any planet or moons. We can more easily control artificial environs to suit our biology. Tow some asteroids and dig into it to turn into a readymade space station. Need water? Well, tow one of those mountain sized chunks of ice floating around. Power can be from the sun with no atmos to interfere. Gravity? Spin the station. Not as if the moons and other planets have Earth's gravity level. Why would we spend trillions of money and resources to claw our way out of our gravity well, only to go down another? We should become Unbound. Free to roam the universe.

China is investing insane amounts on money into their moon landing project.

They will be the next to land.

Though the US now has three capsules, and soon it will have the largest rocket since the Saturn V fully operational.

So if the faggots in congress decide to order NASA to land on the moon, they could probably restart the Constellation program. All the basics minus the Lander will be there.

>infinitely better

not not really, it is easier to build in an environment with gravity than in space, just because you know about the Lagrange point doesn't mean they are better, the potential for them lies in the saving of fuel so they don't have to maneuver in orbit, obviously pointless consideration if you are building on a planet

if you mean by roam why would you want to stay in the lagrange point and be tethered to earth anyway

your argument is pointless

Nothing boring about depriving your brain of oxygen at altitude while hiking up and down 1000's of metres every day.
Also, the stars are fucking gorgeous.

so why is the moon ugly

obviously you shouldn't be staring at dirt if you are on the moon

Out of my way expendable rocket shits.

...

...

...

waste of time and money

That we know of.

Got a chubby desu.

> If our ancestors thought like you then we wouldn't have Australia or New Zealand.
Nor US. That would've been all Canada.

I say it's a fair trade.

I always wondered why the left module has the bottom obscured by a tarp. Surely they can't be hiding top secret technology on a public display.

At the time it costed 150 billion, it'd probably be much cheaper now.

The refugee crisis is going to cost Germany 400+ billion alone.

lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie.

I always think of the Saturn V Rocket. Majestic towering bastard.

HUMANITY, FUCK YEAH

>How did the space race benefit the world?
lmao, just lmao

Yeah, but crazy works well enough.

>aerodynamics
It's designed to land on an airstrip, of course it has to be somewhat aerodynamic.

Yeah, It was good Hollywood movie.
