Makes you wonder why they would invest so much into going up there if it was just a ball of "nothing."

Not to mention, was our tech literally 50 + years ahead of everyone else?

He’s just giving some evidence we went to the moon....it makes sense when wondering whether we went to the moon, to actually sit back and consider the evidence (rather than ponder recent national strategies and priorities about moon missions and what not).

Why did the USA originally go to the moon if it’s just a ball of rock? Although there was good science done (and still continues to be done regarding the moon), there were many non-scientific reasons for the Apollo missions...contrast to, say, the Viking landers on Mars, which was not as intertwined with political motivations.

Is technology more advanced now in general? Sure. Does this mean countries have the infrastructure in place, and motivation/funding to actually take humans there again? Not at all.

lol not sure how u got that implication. he clearly is talking about never exploring beyond the moon landings from that time period. never implied we only went once.

I’m not saying he is right or wrong but..

“Whatever is the metric of the advance of technology, as a means of getting us into space it has NOT HAPPENED SINCE THE SATURN 5 ROCKET."


“The ONE & ONLY time we went to the moon.. NEVER to be REPEATED..Apolo 8.. first time we left Earth but did NOT LAND ON THE MOON..We celebrate SATURN 5 Rocket because we have not done anything better since, & it is the ONLY TIME WE LANDED ON THE MOON"

That seems pretty clear to me.

We still question how the Pyramids, and City of Petra was built, obviously it happened.

So, because the United States was focused and had the infrastructure, we were able to successfully land multiple men on the moon, in less than a decades time? It took 6 years to do it the 60's.

Now, NASA wants to send men to the south pole by 2024. Seems realistic, yes? I mean, the tech is there, right?

I have a sneaky suspicion we're being mislead about our tech capabilities. In which direction, I'm not so sure.

Since the ending of the Cold War, there has been little incentive / desire / urgency to go into outer space.

America sent a man on the moon in 1969 because they didn't want the Soviets to get there first

When traveling in out space is anyone aware of the instruments that are used to fix the heading of the craft? On earth we have 360 different degrees you can fix your heading to, what are the degrees that are used for space travel?

Instead of a compass, spacecraft sensors use the sun and stars to determine the craft's orientation relative to the coordinate frame. Desired directions can be specified in several ways with respect to the defined frame, but two angular measurements are commonly used.
Anyone else interested in the study of the evolution of these "sensors"?

Doing a quick google search I found talk about sensors that are typically found on your daily driver, not much talk about the sensors that are used to calculate your sense of direction in outer space.

Enormously expensive and pretty high risk. Can do most of the same things with probes.

Plus during the cold war it got a huge amount of funding so we could beat the soviets there. If there was no cold war they would have never gotten that kind of funding in the first place.

idk but they have had that tech around for a while. They will have inertial systems but those need to be updated with a "fix" because they have errors that grow the longer you go without confirming where you are. Even cellphones or wii remotes have inertial systems aka accelerometers to tell how they are moving.


They have had missiles that use the stars for navigation for a long time:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UGM-133_Trident_II

"The astro-inertial guidance uses star positioning to fine-tune the accuracy of the inertial guidance system after launch. As the accuracy of a missile is dependent upon the guidance system knowing the exact position of the missile at any given moment during its flight, the fact that stars are a fixed reference point from which to calculate that position makes this a potentially very effective means of improving accuracy. In the Trident system this was achieved by a single camera that was trained to spot just one star in its expected position. If it was not quite aligned to where it should be, it would indicate that the inertial system was not precisely on target and a correction would be made.[38]"

Guidance systems for travel on earth is one thing guidance system travel for outer space is a complelty different animal I'm just curious how they used this guidance system with the limited amount of available memory space on their ancient computers.

Cause of the cost it takes. To get there and its just a rock ..maybe we have the tech to use it for more but who knowsm thats not exactly the information they hand out for the public to know.

In the grand schene of things who gives a chit. Just live your life. Miind your own buisness and care for you and yours and try and help others when and iff you can

I understand the process on calibrating most sensors, I'm just really curious what the process is to calibrate these space travel guidance sensors.

Maybe they created a simulated solar system for the sensors to be tested and calibrated in? But then that would have to be calibrated too right?
