re: Do you think NASA could put another man on the moon in a 7 year timeframe?

Just to be clear, NASA was verifying much of the calculus required for the original moon landing by hand. The ease of modeling this stuff on a computer would dramatically reduce the planning.
Additionally we have already begun test flights on a the Mars vehicle. So we have rockets that we can use.

Great NASA graphics of the collision on that site.

very cool graphic...the fact that planets and stars look like dust being scattered about gives a good perspective of the massive scale that we are talking about....

I'm not sure if this universe will be around in a trillion years. So far it's 13.7 billion years old. You think it's going to last another 986.3 billion years?
Edit: never mind. I'm adding three zeros instead of one for each order.

Said vehicle Core Stage is actually being produced at Michoud. There are giant barrel sections of the launch vehicle laying about the factory floor awaiting assembly, and the crew capsule integration is underway. We're sending said vehicles to the moon in 2018, actually. Although it will be unmanned.

Difference between 1962 and now? I can facetime a chinaman on my iphone with the push of a button.
With enough money, we could get to Mars in a few years.

Maybe I don't understand OP's question. But it sounds like he's saying modern-day NASA couldn't achieve in seven years what 1962 NASA achieved in seven years. If that's the case, LOL.

They did have computers then, not what we have now. There is no math equation in a computer that man did not master. We have been to the moon. Its very expensive to land and take back off from. We did it to show up the USSR. If there was something on the moon worth retrieving or studying we would have been back by now. A geologist can only look at a rock for so long. To go back to the moon just to do it would be a waste of money.
That being said, if a moon trip was a study for a base or jump spot for futher space exploration sign my tax money up

If we had the same political push....yes.

I'm not a tinfoil hat kinda guy, but the evidence is WAY more compelling that the moon landing was faked. Take out the deadly radiation factor and look at the political, national security, and technological angles at the time plus the fact that our Govt is completely full of shite and it's hard to be completely convinced we truly landed on the moon. I'll kindly take my downvotes now.

You should read the whole thread. I addressed your question earlier.

Relying on a Russian Soyuz capsule to get up and down doesn't exactly endorse our ability to master space at the moment.

Not going to be NASA. It will be our all mighty god Elon Musk

That soundstage is currently under long term contract to NCIS: Los Angeles.

We did it in the 60’s in less than 10 years. And that was with black women doing the math. Now imagine we use Asians. Anything is possible

If given the equivalent of the budget the Apollo program had in today's dollars it could probably be done in much less time. The early years of the program such as the Gemini flights were to test unproven concepts such as orbital rendezvous of two space craft, those flights and hardware will not have to be done again. The biggest time factor is the availability of private vendors to build the hardware and what their timeframe will be to tool up. NASA does research and serves as a project manager, every nut, bolt, and transistor that went to the moon was provided by a private contractor. Even though NASA is currently well into a heavy lift vehicle program they are still a government agency, if given the green light and necessary funding a entity like SpaceX would still complete the mission in less time.

We could do it in 6 months if we really wanted. I will be pissed if we go 50 years without having gone back to the Moon.

Where do you people come from? And why do you ask such questions that, if answered, would have no bearing on the original topic?
