re: What a national embarrassment that we haven’t been back to the Moon in nearly 50 years

Nope, not a troll. I legitimately believe that a bazillion dollars would be better spent finding a cure for cancer than going to the moon or Mars

we know less about our own planet and what lives in our ocean depths then we do about the moon and our solar system.
I want to research this, but again, why is this a bigger deal than spreading our seed throughout the cosmos? We aren’t going to live in the bottom of the ocean.

to get there they need ships capable of handling extreme pressures which we will need to explore space as well.
what we learn about how life survives at the crushing depths of our desolate oceans will prepare us for the vast reaches of space where equally desolate planets with varying atmospheres could also have life.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think we already understand this.

the ROI is much much greater to explore our ocean depths then piddling around on the moon playing with rocks and moon dust

I mean, who is mentally stable enough to take a journey to Mars for years on end? Maybe I’m intelligent enough to recognize I and the average person might have an issue on this theoretical journey.

You can use a fraction of the fuel and get a much bigger boost from the Moon than you can from the Earth.
I mean that kinda makes sense. But you still have to leave from earth to get to the moon. Maybe I'm missing some technicalities here.

I figure either there was nothing at all significant worth the cost of going back, or they found something on the dark side of the moon that scared the shite out of them

No, it’s Apollo 11. Why do you think we greatly minimized the size of computers. It was to get them on a fricking rocket.
I thought you were referring to the internet, which was the result of a DOD project called ARPANET.
The argument that NASA is responsible for miniaturization of computers is also flawed. Yes, they had to miniaturize hardware components to “fit on a fricking rocket”... a fricking rocket not to the moon, but to the USSR.

My statement has nothing to do with space and more to do with people like you being left out by rivers at birth a few hundred years ago

You’re missing the technicalities. At any point of the month, then the Moon is further from your destination than the Earth is. It’s all about launching power and saving fuel that’s the point. You can also whiplash against the Earth as needed, which would be much more powerful than doing the same against the Moon. There are a lot of positive technicalities of launching from the Moon rather than the Earth that have almost nothing to do with distance.

because we've been wasting all our money sending robots up to do "science" instead of cool shite like sending men to other planets or building a moon base.
Personally I think we need space elevators so we can establish Moon colonies of people that mine the moon and asteroids for metals and such and send them back to earth.
And put all NASA money into developing a warp speed so we can reach planets that might actually can sustain human life rather than waste it on a trip to mars so we can look at red dust

We aren’t going to live on the moon or mars either, chief.

I don’t find it embarrassing. I find it more hard to believe.
