That would put a rather large hole in the "we never went there" conspiracy. I'm pretty sure they put a mirror type reflector on the moon and have been measuring the distance between earth and moon with via lasers aimed at the reflector. Leading the discovery that the moon is slow drifting away from the earth and that it came from an inner planetary collision in the early solar system. Reflector didn't get there by itself..... https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2004/21jul_llr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now could be be faked actually. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted January 16, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2019 *Trump impression* New Zealand. It isn't real. The fake media are lying to you. Very Sad. The US is great, very great. I spoke to the Prime Minister of New Zealand. She isn't real. We will lock her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone knows that no matter who spoke Trump with, real or not, he would have had a very nice conversation, they would have been very complimentary and a great many things would have been accomplished. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantheory Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The Chinese are doing some cool space stuff. We need the competition so we don't just sit on our assets. Space X seems to be leading the way commercially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
