I've read that they did go back to the moon..I thinkg at least 5 times.
I even saw a vid on Discovery channel of one of the return missions. But they weren't advertised like tha first one, cause they alreayd won the moon race and I don't think a lot of people would have watched the other moon landings....it would be same ol same ol and maybe boring to the general public...

True Semmy...

Also, radiation exposure in space is survivable for extended periods of time. Look at the shuttle missions or the people who've stayed in the spacestations for months at a time.

Oh, but wait... I for got. The shuttle and all other NASA programs aren't real.

Hey Hotrex... You plan on watching the Superbowl this year? Well... You might want to start driving toward Houston with tickets in your hand. Because the satelite that transmits the signal to your part of the country doesn't exist.

This is off topic but remember the other Mars rover that landed on the moon than got stuck on a rock or something? It was like a 5 billion dollar project that got fucked up becuase NASA used 2 companies to write the programmming software, one wrote they're algorithim in metric while the other company used Standard units. This is why it got fucked up becuase when they told it to move 2 feet it moved 2 meters instead.

This is on topic but you're confusing the one that burned up on arrival with the Pathfinder rover. The part about the standard/ metric algorythyms is correct but it's not about the previous rover.

In fact there were two other missions before this latest rover that failed.


The last rover (Pathfinder) worked pretty good but it left a lot of questions unanswered.


There is another lander/rover that is on it's way right now to compliment the one that's currently on the Mars surface. If it's not there already, it will be in the next few days.
