US secret space program. Wonder where they've been.

 

[visionary]

Can we launch jerry into space ?

 

[StarBoyz83]

I still don't think we've been to the moon.

 

[CliffnDallas]

Boldly go...

Wow. Just....wow.

Wow. Just....wow.

Van Allen Radiation belt. A late 1960's spacecraft (1st proposed moon landing) protecting human astronauts from that. Myself don't see it.

The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners. The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them. Apollo flight trajectories bypassed the inner belts completely to send spacecraft through only the thinner areas of the outer belts. The command module's inner structure was an aluminum "sandwich" consisting of a welded aluminum inner skin, a thermally bonded honeycomb core, and a thin aluminum "face sheet". The steel honeycomb core and outer face sheets were thermally bonded to the inner skin.

Astronauts' overall exposure was actually dominated by solar particles once outside Earth's magnetic field. The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads (1.6 and 11.4 mGy), much less than the standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year set by the United States Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity.

You mean to tell me we went to he moon in the late 60's but couldn't make a decent car the whole 70's??? Ya no didn't happen!

 

[YosemiteSam]

Bet we haven't broken the sound barrier either.

Are you a flat earther?

 

[StarBoyz83]

Are you a flat earther?

Lol

 

[sureletsrace]

I was shocked to find out that there are still people out there that truly believe the earth is flat and that the government is just lying to us and hiding the truth.

Because conspiracy theory, or something.
