I watched the first landing as a teenager and it was the most exciting thing ever. But subsequent landings rapidly lost the public’s interest because, basically, it had been done so what was the point? My understanding at the time is that the last three flights were cancelled because of public apathy.
Because basically Nixon wanted to end the program early, which ironically was made more palatable by the overall success of the program, and reduce NASA’s budget. In its place NASA was allowed to build and send missions to Skylab, and develop the STS (Space Shuttle). NASA consumed a huge chunk of the federal budget in the 1960’s, and Nixon needed that money to fund the war in Vietnam.
NASA’s budget had never constituted a “huge chunk” of the Federal Budget or GDP. Nixon ended the Vietnam war. LESS money was needed for to end the war than to continue fighting it. Neither Nixon nor anyone in Congress or the Senate presented the country with the needed mission to continue pursuing creating a moon base or a base and colony on Mars. Thus those areas of space exploration were left to languish in SF and its fans.
@@w3vjp568 You should actually do research. NASA ABSOLUTELY DID NOT consume most of the US budget at any point in history. That is blatant fucking lie.
Yeah, the anti-communist domino war was way better purchase. Still, it gave us waves of refugees from all the successive wars. You wouldn’t get aliens from the moon.
Don't underplay the importance of it being f_____g expensive. NASA budgets nowadays are miniscule by comparison. And we had accomplished what we set out to (demonstrating that we could get there, and not just as a fluke, we could do it repeatedly). So, yes, politics, in a way.
Because robots are cheaper, much cheaper, they're also disposable, you don't need to bring them back which is *much* cheaper. You need a really good reason to send people again.
Like Suni & Cher are going to come back? /s/s Just wait on next news cycle for us to forget. Us old people are best discarded into a quiet corner & forgotten.
Politics should have no place in whether we continue with space exploration or not. Im glad most space projects have now gone private because they have a drive to push the limits simply because they want to.
The most important aspect is what is the ROE of returning to the moon? With our national debt and congressional inability to control spending WHY should we piss away so much money to return?! Now IF politicians could control spending then just maybe we could return
I always believed it was because they found nothing of value . The true value was knowledge. Had we continued exploring, we probably would have a base there and would be taking the first steps towards Star Trek.
Because like this channel its terrible and is very disingenuous to say the least. He have constantly been back to the moon but with the better option rovers. They get more data and dont need a return mission.
Because NASA has forgotten how to go. Just because they did it once doesn't mean they can do it again, a lot of time has passed and if you don't continue with a specialization, you end up like this. They really have doubts about the people who will take there, like what happened to Apollo 13 could happen again. But somehow Elon Musk doesn't doubt himself at all and seems ready to sacrifice many people for this cause.
I bet elon will sacrifice others. Sad. Nasa has been sending rovers to the moon and Mars. This guy doesnt know what he is on about. Elons claims about his ships and other things can be disproven with physics 101 knowledge. He is marketing bro always trying to sell his countless failures as somehow wins. Lol.
Don't understand on what base ppl trust that we went to the moon, when I have 1000 times more technology in this phone then they hade at the time and seeing how hard and sometimes impossible is to send even a prob on the moon.
There were too many other low hanging fruits. Yes, politics but remember that big money drives these bureaucrats. As a result, money takes the top spot. Russia wouldn't be able to intimidate us from space since we were able to economically mobilize faster than them to space infrastructure capabilities. This time around, the aim is to expand economic capability now that a lot of low hanging fruits have been eaten.
Oddly enough the most money is going to be made is out there asteroid mining alone's going to be very fruitful then you have all the support structures and colonies
Remove the politicians and you remove the problems, all countries need is a president of each nation, not politicians or multiple amounts of managers like NASA etc, Elon Musk knows exactly what is needed.
Lol wow what a horrible take on geopolitics. So no small issues if your problem doesn't effect the nation it won't be addressed. Lol. Elon is a convi cted fra udster by the SEC for enriching himself at investors expense. He would be the worst of politicians constantly makes things up that would have to break physics turns in other peoples work as his own. Examples he wanted to spin stabilize starship on its intermediate axis. There is a whole theorem that shows it won't work. Google t handle in zero g. Before solar city failed he claimed he made solar panels that look like stale and were more efficient, nope he sold off the shelf panasonic solar panels. Those are just some of the long list of why you wouldnt want elon in charge of anything more than a popsicle stand.
Money can be used better down here! That's what's wrong with this country. We waste so much money on absolutely asinine, stupid stuff! We really need to wake up!
Why?? Seriously, tell us why. Musk says Mars is no more difficult & has more resources. Lack of any atmosphere makes moon difficult, 28 day cycle doesn’t help. What has ISS done for us? We even relied on Russia for access after Shuttle failure.
Omg so much wrong here. We have been back to the moon constantly in rover form. They are more efficient and work longer. Who cares what musk the untruth Teller says. Mars is farther away and requires more delta V. But he cant even prove he can get to low earth orbit much less the moon much less mars. Lol. Its a scam. 28 day cycle? It orbits us so no issue. Mars and earth only allow for an efficient transfer on occasion. Because they both orbit the sun. Smh. Elon fans are so ignorant
And iss has run so many experiments there is a line to sign up to run your experiment. We have learned knowledge we otherwise wouldn't have access to, in many fields of study we have advanced the human knowledge base.
We went to the moon because we saw spaceships on the moon. Once at the moon, we saw buildings and other structures along with alien spaceships, that is why we never went back. I feel that our government decided that we would not panic over seeing aliens after 50 years of being accustomed to seeing their space ships once in a while.
@gmoney1354 Yes, it is quite easy to watch the footage from any one of the Moon landings (except for Apollo 12) right here on TH-cam, the Soviets would also be quite happy to debunk the Moon landings, but they never did. I sure do wonder why?
@@FerriteSpace lol. And you believe that footage. Trust me. Being ex military I 100% believe we have never been. It’s just Russia couldn’t prove we didn’t make it so we won the space race
@person___9 why would nasa throw all the records of moon landings out? Why would the new moon mission need to check radiation levels on the Artemis mission?
We should have a Moonbase by now considering the time Gap
Shouldn't we also have a base on the bottom of the ocean by now? :P

Short answer: Aliens
Aliens. Aliens and failure to discover cheese.
Alien bases on the moon
NASA stopped going to the Moon because people became cheesed off with the idea.
No military reason
How did you beat them first ? They got there sooner than americans 😕
