Apollo 11 - 35 years

Its been a long time. Just saw the crew’s interview on CNN after they met with the President Bush.

The purpose of the Apollo 11 mission was to land men on the lunar surface and to return them safely to Earth. The crew was Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module pilot…

PS: When we gona step on any other planet ? :blush:

:bravo:

not in anny time soon :smiley:

there are some problems to overcome first :smiley:

take a look at mars. In theory we could go there but it would be one way trip. It s one of the few planets in this solar system where we might get to live on :smiley:

1:It takes years to get there, ok lets say we overcome that problem cuz of new ramjet engines etc.

then 2: the atmposphere there, we ll have to create a whole new air tight infrastructure and buildings to live in. ok agreed we done that too

then 4 : where is the food comming from?a and water? yes there s water there but frozen and poisseness.

then 5 : gravity. The gravity on mars is a few times less then on earth. Every one who stays there more then a few months will have difficulties when he/she comes back to earth.
All the kids who ll be born there wont ever be able to come back to earth.

and so on and so on :slight_smile:
so it s possible I think :smiley:

but not anny time soon :hehe:

let alone Mars, when will a human land on the moon again?

^ what's the point... after 8 (?) expeditions, I think we know everything there is to know... its just a waste of money to go again.

Agreed on that. Maybe someday just for a visit when its not expenssive anymore.

For now on lets focus on MARS, its a great planet to explore.

:bravo:

do you really think so? what's beneath the moon's surface?

what's on the other side of the moon? all moon-travellers have investigated the side of the moon that is facing the earth. the 'black' side hasn't been investigated much
