Did NASA land men on the moon? (1 Viewer)

Isn't it odd we haven't returned to the moon since 1972? In over 50 years we haven't been back? Why? I was once a civilian police officer attached to a Space Force unit that worked at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex. These folks did stuff like research earthquakes on Jupiter and track satellites. I was shocked how split these smart, NASA type people are on if they believe we ever set foot on the moon.

I'm assuming you mean humans setting foot on it again instead of playing it safe with technology.

5 countries have been to the moon. Article from a year ago:

Thursday's landing represented the first controlled descent to the lunar surface by a U.S. spacecraft since Apollo 17 in 1972, when NASA's last crewed moon mission landed there with astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt.
To date, spacecraft from just four other countries have ever landed on the moon - the former Soviet Union, China, India and, mostly recently, just last month, Japan. The United States is the only one ever to have sent humans to the lunar surface.

NASA aims to land its first crewed Artemis in late 2026 as part of long-term, sustained lunar exploration and a stepping stone toward eventual human flights to Mars.

Yep. Edited. Nice article link about 2026. Thanks

With the earth being flat, I find it implausible because any kind of thrust required to exit our flatisphere and go to the lunar photo projection in the sky would send us spinning to our dooms.

I’m onto a dodecahedron theory. Could be something there….
