re: You Moon landing deniers are all complete idiots...

Since you can't comprehend basic concepts in writing let me play show and tell it the simplest way possible:
This is a Saturn V rocket. See that tiny piece at the top, the Command module?,to avoid the massive fuel requirements to bring it back intact ( let alone how to land it intact), it was designed to only come back in smaller and smaller expendable stages along the way, thus so greatly lightening the fuel requirements to totally avoid the refueling problem.
Musk is bringing This whole massive thing back to earth intact -retard..

How massively heavy was it man?
Really really really really really heavy? must have been sooooo heavy, dooooooood!
Must have been, what do you mean MUST have been, I was clearly referring to Starship being massively heavy, not Saturn V, as it was designed to become lighter and lighter during its trip to the Moon and Back.
Stop embarrassing yourself..

I guess the added weight at liftoff and escape plus low g landing plus low g liftoff plus return plus landing on earth needs that much more. The initial liftoff and escape would account for a significant increase but 20 refuelings does seem excessive, but I'm no rocket scientist

And I'm still fascinated that we need 20 times the energy today to make it to the moon

Cameras and moon buggies with 1960s battery tech that could drive for miles on the lunar surface at -200 degrees. I need those batteries in my 4Runner. It can't handle a couple 15 degrees days
Your 4Runner uses lead-acid, sits cold-soaked overnight, and has constant parasitic draw. Both batteries, but completely different tech.

Oh and 75 bytes of ram to write the code to blast off, separate modules, fly directly to moon, separate again, land on the moon, take off from the moon, reconnect to orbiter, fly a straight line back to Earth and land in the ocean.
That's hella efficient code.

Well you are wrong.
quote:
Yes, NASA officials have indicated that a Starship Human Landing System (HLS) mission to the Moon for Artemis could require around 20 total Starship launches, with many being tanker flights to build up fuel in orbit for the lander, though SpaceX aims for fewer by optimizing fuel transfer and ship design, with estimates ranging from 8-12 tanker flights to potentially 20
20 more LAUNCHES to bring enough fuel to refill the moon Starship. It's not like they are needing 20 full Starships to get there.
Musk is looking to haul 150,000 tonnes to the moon. Apollo could handle 100,000 lbs.
Starship itself will land on, and take back off from, the moon...how much more fuel does it use than the tiny lander Apollo used?
This is really not that complicated.

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but.... You are telling me that in 1969 we went to the moon and have never once gone back??? Why not???
Unaware we went back multiple times. Finds it deeply troubling.

After the Apollo 11 landing in July 1969, we landed again on the Moon in the following months and years:
Apollo 12 - November 1969
Apollo 14 - February 1971
Apollo 15 - July 1971
Apollo 16 - April 1972
Apollo 17 - December 1972

The leadership of the Soviet Union was looking for a way out of the space race. It was bankrupting their nation. That’s why they didn’t call the US bluff with the fake landing.
The Soviets spent Billions of Rubles per year through the 1970s & 1980s on their space program.
Way to “get out” of the space race.
PS: You are a moran.

Make YOUR argument then numbnutts.
Why would we lie and risk being exposed by the Commies? All at the height of the propaganda driven Space race and the Cold War?
Why has no one involved in the greatest lie in the history of mankind not confessed, even on their death bed? From the thousands that had to know, from the President down to the maid that wiped the shite stains out of the toilets on the "Fake" Moon landing sets.
