martin6   10 #182 Posted July 22, 2015 you do know a dog, and humans DID travel into space before the moon landings? So they knew we could travel through space before the moon landings, i dont think ANY rocks on earth can be scientifically passed off as moon rocks  You do know your referring to low earth orbit and that people live on the ISS for 6 months at a time.  I am referring to the very high radiation belt between here and the moon that have nasa worried...

Or cooking some food in the microwave?  Maybe they should use mans technological intuition and develop something to keep the radiation out?

code word   10 #189 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) By today's standards, the IT Nasa used in the Apollo manned lunar programme is pretty basic. But while they were no more powerful than a pocket calculator, these ingenious computer systems were able to guide astronauts across 356,000 km of space from the Earth to the Moon and return them safely. pocket calculator OK! So this calculator Calculated everything needed to put man on the moon. ?!? > Question what can a calculator calculate today? Can it Calculate the unknown journey? A Planet we know nothing about? never been? Hold on I will ask it >> Calculator says NO! Modern day PC SAYS Maybe!
