how come the Russians never went to the moon?

[Slay]

I don't think *we ever went to the moon. Sure there are photos in existence of the event and eye witness accounts and this and that and the other, but all of that could have been falsified.



















*When I say we, I mean Me and my mate Dave.

The exploration of the moon is purely for political reasons.

As you may not know, Japan and China, both rising stars in the world, are fighting to see who is to land on the moon first by 2015-2016.

So China and Japan spend billions to land on the moon: national pride !

US gave up the competition because the Soviet Union refused to "play" with US instead concentrated on the international space station.

China's purpose is soley for military purpose but US is planning to return to the moon
because China is going there. China used laser to shoot down its satellite in space.

It is a very silly but dangerous game US vs China !

[QUOTE=thegovna;3240747]or anyone else but the few times we went? and how come we dont go back?[/QUOTE]

US is going back to the moon right after China announced its ambitious plan to form a permanent colony on the moon in 2016 !

Well, i think it's because of bad Soviet economy and change in Soviet space program policy.

After USA reached out Moon By 1969, there is no sensible point of reaching moon at second place. Space race is for being the very first. So, USSR's next step would have been Mars or Venus. But they decided to plant a ""habitable"" and floating space station called MIR. USSR opened a golden gate for habitation of space. You know, USA used MIR in 1990s till MIR's end too.

Going to Mars or Venus would have put hard to deal with costs on slowly weakening Soviet economy. So, MIR project seemed more feasible.

After Apollo 13 accident, Moon Mission also seem too risky to handle.

Don't underestimate Russia. They might help you against China.

i'll be more impressed by who ever sends the first satellite, capable of transmission, out of our galaxy

Because the moon does not exist. It was just another piece of American propaganda during the Cold War.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! :rofl:

Somehow that makes a lot of sense:dunno:

 

[Bone]

because they didn't know where the moon is :dunno:

But the US is and has been for many years the largest arms dealer in the world.

Oh yeah, no doubt...but my point was and is, while we put monet into arms, we also put it in other places, while the Russians would never spend perfectly good millions on something so tactically useless as landing on the moon, when they could spend it on an extra nuke, or 2 extra tanks, etc., etc. See what I'm saying.

& now you're finally starting to make sense.
