Will we evaer go back too the moon? How?

I'd like to a base on the moon, where we can launch our craft to explore Mars.\n\nBut I do not think it will happen in my lifetime.

Not anytime soon, no. First, we have to send people back to the moon and then do manned missions to Mars before we can go that far into the solar system!

YES they did land on the moon, There are tons of soil samples that they brought back, as well as mirrors they left up there on the moon that they use to measure the distance to the moon with lasers. There is also a lot of junk they left on the moon, parts of the lunar modules, even a moon car!\nThe reason no one has been back is the price. It cost half a billion dollars 40 years ago, today the price would be many billions of dollars. And since we already have tons of lunar samples we don't really have a good reason to go back yet. There is talk about going back to create a base, but it is many years off yet. We still need a cheaper way to send people into space. Perhaps after the next generation of space shuttles is ready they will go to the moon.\n\nthose that think it is fake are much like the flat earth people of the last few centuries. It is interesting that the same people who think the moon landing is fake are the ones that are most adamant about there being aliens!\n\nand for those that think the fox TV show that said the moon landing was fake, well check out this site for the real science http://www.badastronomy.com/ that show had soooo much bad science it made me sick.

Sure why not? heck China is planning a Moon landing itself so I think America needs to start heading back up to the Moon before China does.\n\nNot to mention if we wanna get to Mars then we might wanna start building a station on the Moon so that we can accomplish our goal of getting to Mars.

Time?  No.  Space?  Hell no.\n\nUnfortunately, we will never be able to do either of the two.  The energy levels in our solar system are what hold our molecules and atoms together.  Stray too far and you will find yourself entering a part of the Universe that has a different charge balance, the electrons will begin flying off, and you will start falling to pieces.\n\nTime travel is a concept that everyone can understand so it persists.  Any changes that have happened to the matter have already taken place, there's no going back.  Just like you can't unburn a match, you can't turn back time.

no it is not fair . earth should go round the moon . i really love your question

Last time anybody went to the moon in 1972 it took about 3 days to get there.   Today's technology hasn't improved much, so it would take about 3 days now.   Based on technology that we can understand, even if it doesn't yet exist, imagine unlimited engine power.   But don't imagine unlimited acceleration, because we can't stand more than about 2G acceleration for a long period, and we haven't yet got a clue how to accelerate without feeling the effects.   So the fastest we'll get to the Moon any time soon is to accelerate at 2G for the first half of the trip and decelerate at 2G for the rest of the journey.   That would take about 3 hours.

I believe that if one puts one's mind to it, one will be surprised at how much one can accomplish.  But "anything"?  Nope.  Surely someone in the last few centuries has turned his or her will to the reversal of the Earth's rotation, to minimal effect (except for a splitting headache).  But men have walked on the moon.\n\nAlmost anything is possible, but not all by the hand of individual humans.  Sometimes we need to gang up.

From the earth, the lunar lander subtends an arc of .005 arcseconds, which is about 10 times smaller than the best earth-based telescopes (including Hubble) can resolve. \n\nBut it is possible, using a large telescope, to detect the return of laser light from the corner-refector arrays left on the surface by Apollo 11, Apollo 14, and Apollo15.

If people couldn't go to the Moon then the Space Shuttle would be impossible also. So.\nThere is no wind because there still in space, just standing on the Moon. \nWe're not in space because we have an atmosphere.\nThe shadows don't line up because if they did that would mean that have a magic perspective eliminating Sun.\nWhen the sun peeks out of low clouds near sunset the rays are obviously not parallel. Why should they be on the moon?\nAnd what studio lights are magic too?\nThey don't bounce high enough because they weigh 300 pounds \non Earth with their suit and all. So 50 pounds on the moon.\n3 times lighter not 6.\nThey never sent people back because it would cost $100 bil to do now and they didn't see the point.\nThe flag stays up because there was a wire in it.\nThe flag jiggled for a few seconds after the astronaut takes off his hand because there's no air to dampen it's vibrations. Imagine a hanging metal sign being pushed and FF it.\nThe flag fell down with the blast from the rockets to take off. And how do you expect to see a flag less than 1 inch thick and 1 foot wide from 240,000 miles away when you can hardly see details on a PLANET(pluto) at the edge of the solar system. There is just one manmade object visible on the Moon as a speck in the world's largest telescopes. the entire spaceship of one of the missions.So yes you kindof can see them.

Our moon is locked in what is known as a geo-synchronous orbit. For millions of years the angular momentum has stablized the moon to provide very little loss of energy between earth and moon. This does not account for the influences that the moon has upon our oceans though. (Tides) Our solar system has "moved about" for many millions of years to allow for efficient energy transfers between baryonic masses.  This is not unlike a person who sit's in a chair and move's about to become more comfortable.  Peace

Compared to the stars the moon moves from west to east.\nIn 27.3 days it returns to it 'start star'.\nIn one night it moves (360 / 27.3) degrees.\nIn one night it moves 13,2 degrees from west to east compared to the stars.

It certainly is possible to go to Mars. In fact we are more prepared to go to Mars today then we were going to the moon in 1961 when JFK made is famous speech to congress. We have the technology and the know how. There is even a plan for making rocket fuel out of the Martian atmosphere so that you don´t have to haul it out there. A few components are missing though. We don´t have a heavy lift launch vehicle with the space shuttle going out of commission. It has to be replaced or we won´t be able to launch the spacecraft needed for the trip. We haven´t even finished building the international space station. It makes sense to go back to the moon first. The moon has lesser gravity so a Mars ship could be built and launched from the surface in one piece. You don´t even need to build it aerodynamically correct as the moon doesn´t have an atmosphere. The question is if the funding will be available for a manned mars mission. Starting today it would take years to build all the components. If something happens that damages the economy chances are the funding will be pulled. The effect the vietnam war had on the Apollo programme was dramatic; as soon as no one cared about the moon anymore it was cancelled. If it hadn´t been for vietnam the US might have gone to Mars in the eighties.

Yes. President Bush recently announced the intent for NASA to land on the moon. If you listen to recent podcasts or read the stories from Science @ NASA (see the source below), you will find what goes into their planning to return to the moon.\n\nThose of you who wonder if it's a waste of time: the more we know about the moon, the more we know about Earth. The more we know about our planet, the easier it is to make life better.

No. On the moon, you would "weigh" about 1/6 what you do on earth.  Although that's a much lower number, it's still not close enough to zero that you could escape the moon's gravitational pull simply by jumping.

Two objects will orbit one another indefinately unless disturbed.  The man made satellites that return to earth orbit to closely and are so small, atmospheric drag and solar wind eventually cause their orbits to decay.\n\nThe moon is large enough are far enough out, these factors don't come into play.  The primary force now is tidal friction, which causes the orbit to slow, and therefore expand, by a fractional amount each year.  \n\nDon't worry about losing the moon, though.  The sun will expand into a red giant, swallowing both earth and moon long before this happens.

We went to the moon. The simplest answer is usually the correct one, and in this case it's easier to assume that we really went to the moon than there being an international conspiracy involving every nation on Earth lying to say that we never made it to the moon.
