There's not been much point, it's a barren lifeless moon.

What rocket are we talking about?

Miraculously recovered after being lost all this time.

what for? the last time someone was on the moon was in 1972. the costs are prohibitive and completely unnecessary.
what would be the objective?

To kill Moon Hitler.

I don't think that Moon Hitler is a threat to society, even if he is, he has no oil, so the US wouldn't be interested in going there

Sure.

exactly.

is it me or a coincidence that all the moon mission were in late 60s and 70s when people were dumb to realise it wasnt possible

i dont understand why they dont release the coordinates of the landing or send a probe to take pictures or the AMERICAN flag and be done with these consipiracy theories

only aircract can land verically is that british fighter jet with 4 jet engines. (forget its name)

not a bloody rocket. im sure north korea would have figured that out

In the Moon documentary from James May, one of the astronauts said that the tracks from the moon buggy would still be there. Would be cool to get evidence from Russia or somewhere of that cause if NASA were to get it, they could always fake it. I doubt Russia would.

Yes, honestly.

On the subject of the moon buggy, they say that if you jumped, you could float off into space. If the buggy hit a bump, wouldn't the same happen being weightless and all...?
