Toepoke Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 Successful splashdown for Integrity. Quite something to see, a bit of a throwback to the 70s (like the whole mission TBH). Â Quote

Saint4805 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Great news that they all made it back safe and sound. I was watching some of the 1969 moon landing footage earlier on Youtube and it looks suss AF. The take off from the moon resulted in just a few sparks and absolutely no big moondust cloud which modern day experts say is the main challenge when landing and taking off from the moon's surface. Apparently it is a very fine powder that sticks to everything and would cause serious visibility issues. The other thing is the stiff USA flag which looks like is blowing in the wind. I heard Artemis 4 is being earmarked for a moon landing and so the video footage of the moon landing and take-off should put things to bed. Edited April 11 by Saint4805 Quote

The lander had a base underneath it and dust clouds require an atmosphere to suspend the dust otherwise it just falls back down. regolith is the name of the dust and it is a challenge but not cause it comes up in big clouds, which doesn't happen as there is no atmosphere to support a cloud everything gets kicked up then falls at 1/6 g.

Och Aye Posted April 11 Posted April 11 The dust is also really sharp and abrasive which has caused problems too. Quote

It's cause of no atmospheric erosion it is indeed jaggy like broken glass. The OU is lucky cause they have a huge space mission department they were the first UK institution to get rocks from the chinese mission last year and have NASA samples and others for research. Quote

It would have been more expensive to fake the moon landing in 1969 than to actually go...  Quote

They were in a race with the USA to get to the moon and ploughed billions into the race and stakes their political reason for being on it. They had unmanned problems orbiting the moon at that time - the best kind of surveillance. If these landings never happened the Soviets would have had the evidence and sure as hell would have called NASA out on it. Also since the landings many probes have photographed/catalogued the moon landing sites and seen the abandoned equipment that still remains there. Sadly, the conspiracy theorists ignore these pertinent facts. Quote
