At one time it was believed a rocket would need to be as big as Earth to reach the moon.
At one time it was believed that human flight was impossible.
At one time it was believed that a man would disintegrate if he traveled faster than a horse could run.

> Von Braun admits we could only get to the moon from a space station to refuel <

Well, back in 1895 the great physicist Lord Kelvin said that there would never be airplanes. Forget about it.

Moral of the story: Even great scientists are often wrong.

History and Science are replete with people who said “you can’t do that” and were wrong.

Things are “ impossible”…until they are not.

He was apparently very wrong.

A lot of NAZIs were wrong.

You are posting stupid stuff to not stupid people. Just post your stupid opus and go quietly.

WVB had two theories on how to put a man on the moon. They both were wrong.

The man whose idea did put men on the moon was John Houbolt


Third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings


Man has been to the moon, and returned, so spare us your shit-stirring, anti-intellectual claptrap.

The only distraction tropes I’ve not seen in the last week of Hunter Biden revelations has been crop circles and Bigfoot - the scorecard so far:

UFOs
Jimmy Hoffa
Fake moon landings

What am I missing?

“Moon [Landing] Hoax “

I think not.

"Additionally, we could not even get a live chimpanzee to moon orbit and back because of lethal levels of radiation from Van Allen Radiation Belts…"

More anti-intellectual claptrap. The protection of earth's magnetosphere -- which is what protects us from solar winds and other space radiation -- extends to beyond the orbit of the moon, which means the Van Allen radiation belts don't begin until you're beyond the moon's orbit.

People who are science-ignorant really should second-guess their decision to flaunt that fact.

That the Van allen belts will kill you is a myth. The magnetic field of the Earth is large enough to protect moon missions for humans.

20th Century Fox executive Darryl F Zanuck in 1946:

“Television won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.”

White Star Line VP Phillip Franklin :

“There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable and nothing but inconvenience will be suffered by the passengers.”

I think it was Arthur C. Clarke who said that when a scientist says that something is possible, he is always right, and when he says something is impossible, he is almost always wrong.

Wouldn’t it be great to make everyone think we landed on the moon...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6MOnehCOUw
