How come we cant even emulate what nasa did 60 years ago? Is this generation this retarded? These people literally went to the moon with no modern computers

NASA could start launching people to the moon if their moon budget was restored. People generally don't work for free and there's no economic incentive to go to the moon.

We had a sociopath literal Nazi officer who ran and designed the entire Apollo program as his purpose in life. He was a cold hearted killer who saw thousands die in Germany to build his rockets. He was then Op Paperclipped to a cushy life in America and rebranded an American hero and given unlimited budget to live out his autistic obsession with rockets.

>More than 100 German scientists and engineers brought to the U.S. under Operation Paperclip transitioned to NASA and worked on the Apollo program. They were primarily concentrated at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, which was responsible for developing the Saturn V rockets.

That's how we got to the moon, with a team of Aryan Nazis leading the way. That's the horrible truth they can't let people discuss. The reason we haven't been back is because they hired to many women, too many coloreds, and not enough Aryans.
>>
>>17008660
well yes finding aryans in muttmerica is quite the task :)

jokes aside, the "moon landings" never happened
>>
>>17008650
Why whould we spend another 1 billion dollars to go to the flying rock again when we are just gonna give that money to Israel anyway? If we went to the moon again you would just say it was ai generated or faked again in some other way lol.

>>17008660
Ok, so let more immigrants in. Pretty simple.

Because NASA had an actual budget back then.
Everything went wrong when we went "let the free market take care of it!" and allowed private companies to take the lead in space exploration.
The best Space X has managed to do is launch a car into low Earth orbit, a glorified publicity stunt.
Sorry free market fundamentalists, statists are just better when it comes to producing results.

>>17008650
The answer is **always** capitalism. Greatest plague in human history.
>>
>>17008650
NASA in the early 60s was basically told
>Get us to the Moon as quickly as possible, money is no object and we'll get you whatever equipment or personnel you need to do it before the Ruskies.
NASA today is told
>Get us to the Moon whenever, here's a stick of gum *for the group* not for each of you, and don't bother us for more until it's done, but also we're going to make you spend a month every year defending whatever you're working on.

Give me all your money and everything you own you greedy selfish evil capitalist, or else, NOW! Or go to gulag comrade! I need my starbucks!

So the average burger in their endless wars, perfect fit. Moonshot was made btw to lure "scientists" (who usually has morale and conscience) into rockets to bomb others.

Wasn't it in an orbit around the sun? What about Starlink?

Here is why:

>>17009290
that entire wiki keeps blaming large corpos and the decline of smaller businesses and seems very offended by the idea that perhaps, all the low-hanging fruit has actually just been picked

if anything you'd need large corpos for innovation after the low-hanging fruit's been picked (assuming any high-hanging fruit are even left)

NASA had a huge budget then, and an actual set of clear missions set by leadership who were expected to accomplish their goals or be personally humiliated & professionally destroyed.

Modern NASA exists as a starveling shadow of its former glory, and its leadership exists solely to help spin out pork barrel projects for infinity years to defraud the American taxpayer. There is no punishment for failure because it's not actually failure any more, and because the leeches doing this hide behind layers of identity politics around women, blacks, fags, whatever.

Not to say there aren't real projects of real value in NASA, but they're all of them fighting for a bite of what is now a pretty small pie. And while the moon landing was flashy and impressive, another one does not promise to be particularly useful scientifically, and the people who earnestly care want bang for their buck.

If we were to seriously talk about colonizing our solar system, you'd need a whole different kind of budget and institutional alignment. It's doable, but no one actually wants to sit and plan and most importantly PAY for all of that, and no one seriously credits claims to the contrary because no one puts their money where their mouth is.

Also btw right now the only concrete use for the moon if not a jumping-off point for other solar missions is as a launch pad for nuclear weapons that can't be eliminated in a first strike and can be uses to systematically genocide any initial antagonist.

>>17008650
The space race was because the human race had instincts telling them that the planets controlled the weather, and once we figured out that we'd stopped the impending ice age without physically moving jupiter and saturn, we were able to spend that money on the pensions we lost in 2008 and the iraq war instead of NASA

>progressivism guys!!
there is no educational structure that allows for genuine novel thought after acquiring credentials, actually
mizohata-takeuchi, a long-standing conjecture in fourier analysis, was disproven by a 17 year old homeschooled tranny
education causes stagnation by Prussian rote

They should go on /pol/ and /x/ in order to raise their IQ.

I imagine the average 1960s aerospace engineer was significantly smarter than today's average aerospace engineer.

explain lunar eclipses. explain how a disc casts a round shadow from any potential angle. i double dog dare you to demonstrate it with a physical model. i will give you $10k if you can make a disc shaped object cast a round shadow onto a surface from any arbitrary angle.
>>
>>17013206
I know a guy who did that. He started on sci posting about math. Got told to go to pol, and he didn't even last 1 week before getting accepted into UCLA. He doesn't have time to post or lurk anymore. It's that effective

technological progress and american industrial might peaked in the 25 year period from 1945-70
its been only downhill since then
>>
>>17013241
No it doesn't you are right. But I believe in the Flynn Effect that the 1970s is when IQ peaked in the US. 60 years ago only the genuine dyed-in-the-wool autists actually wanted to be engineers. Nowadays I sense a lot of recent college graduates in Aerospace Engineering did it on a whim because they know rockets are a thing and that engineers make decent money. Don't even get me started on the fact that a lot of US colleges don't accept SAT or ACT scores as relevant to the admission process, so there is another potential midwit filter gone.

colleges would always take anyone with a pulse. They just needed money or to suck professor cock

We are significantly more progressed than we were in the fucking 1960s bro. We have live video feed from the rocket all the way from when it takes off to the lunar surface and back which they could barely do in 360p back then.

And also we are able to get multiple black astronauts to space and definitely to the moon.

The old people in charge gave all the space money to some dumb faggot who's bad at video games, something they make for literal children to play, and he used it to purchase the largest social media company so people would stop being mean to him online.
