We reached the moon with aluminium and tin foil back in 1969, going polar to avoid the Van Allen Belts, using computers that literally counted holes in a paper strip to have either a 1 or a 0. The entire thing was filmed by a simple rover controlled from Earth and the crew was so modest it hardly ever appeared in public.
Almost too perfect and easy. If we consider how easy it would be to repeat that with super computers, rudimentary AI, super-HEA, closed circuit jet engines based on the soviet ones bought by the US when USSR fell apart, advanced communications and radiation shielding and generally everything else.... Hell an iPhone now has more computing power than the entire NASA equipment back in the day. Several times more than that. Basically a walk in the park and contrary to what most people say it is
Not expensive at all. A single
Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier costs more than making three 'modernized pocket versions' of Apollo 11. The Aircraft carrier program costs more then the Entire (18 launches and hundreds of thousands of man-hours) Apollo program (sure inflation is accounted for by the fact that shit is several times cheaper to manufacture, with the capabilities of modern industry, and not anywhere near as demanding when in comes to man-hours, thanks to iPhones [LOL]).
+ If we charge a 1 dollar fee for viewing the whole thing live, it will even score a Massive profit.
Throw in a woman, a black man and a Muslim on the crew with a trans pilot? Canada with/or Germany will fund it for you. So Free + Profitable? Yet there's nothing. Nada...
And there's that nice thing Armstrong said in one of his only public appearances.
the Apollo 11 25th Anniversary. He quotes one of the two Brothers / Fathers of flight; Wilbur Wright: "The only bird that could talk was the parrot and he did not fly very well" and he also mentioned a removal of "one of Truth's protective layers". Now Neil was a good pilot even though Buzz Aldrin was the acting pilot and Michael Collins took his place while Buzz and Neil were on the surface of the moon. So clearly that was a joke. He was also bad at public speaking all throughout his life, that is why I hate when it's brought up.
The Protective layers of truth though? It's a nice one.
So do I think there was no moon landing? No, I'm not retarded. Reaching the moon is as Easy as it sounds, when you have a nation to back you up. What I do think is that they've found some shit out there that we're not being told about.
Something that prevents us from returning there. Cut the "no reason" crap. People do shit for no reason all the time. Ambition, fame, possible profit and curiosity are more than a reason to act upon it.
