The real reason we didn't go back is that Nixon canceled as much of the Apollo program as he could get away with, since it was a Democrats' idea. No bucks, no Buck Rogers. He renamed Cape Kennedy "Cape Canaveral" just to rub it in, and arranged to waste the last moonworthy Apollo capsule on a US/USSR stunt flight called Apollo Soyuz. The later capsules, intended to go only into orbit to take astronauts to Skylab, were of somewhat different design.

Anyone who still thinks we did not go to the Moon should go visit the links below, which explain the things people are misunderstanding. The Russians, and many others, tracked the flights to the Moon, and would dearly have loved to expose any hoax, had there been one.

The most plausible answer would have to be money. It costs upwards in the billions of dollars to plan, prepare, and execute a mission like sending astronauts to the moon. Also since NASA has already achieved the feat of landing on the moon, they probably have no reason to go back. There are no natural resources to obtain and there is economical way to sustain life on the moon. Without a way to profit form an excursion like going to the moon, there is no reason to make the trip.

Some people in the past have speculated that NASA really never landed on the moon and that the whole that the whole thing was staged to avoid the embarrassment of losing to the Russians in the great race to the moon during the late 1960's. These critics claim that NASA found it impossible with their current technology to achieve such an amazing milestone. So they lied to save face and make the Russians look inferior. Of course, none of these accusations have been proven true, and most people believe that NASA really did land on the moon.

It seems that the less a person knows about science, the Moon, lunar conditions, photography, radiation, and rocketry, the less likely they are to believe in Apollo. People who understand those fields know very well that Apollo was real. The links below are very helpful!

NASA is an administrative agency within the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government. Though it is responsible for both Civilian and Military Aeronautics programs, NASA Administrators do not have Cabinet level status.

no

As of December 20th 2009, Charles Frank Bolden, Jr., (born August 19, 1946 in Columbia, South Carolina, United States) is the current administrator/director of NASA. He was appointed to the position by President Obama on May 23, 2009.

Thanks for sharing smarty.

The crew members of Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first two humans to walk on the moon. Michael Collins remained in the command module orbiting the moon while they conducted their moonwalk.

When a shuttle reaches outer space it can turn off its thrusters because the law of inertia states that an object in motion can stay at motion until a force acts upon it. And it can just fly without wasting gas/fuel.

The first module, Zarya, was sent into orbit on the 20th November 1998

The construction of the Space Shuttle program began in the 1970s, and the first shuttle, Columbia, was completed in 1979. From initial design concepts to final construction, it took about 10 years to build each space shuttle.

NASA used Boron Nitride in many different ways. It was used as a catalyst when starting Saturn rocket engines. Boron Nitride is also used in one form to protect the outside of the spacecraft. Boron Nitride is one of the hardest chemicals known to man.

Neil Armstrong went to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission, not a space shuttle. Apollo 11 was launched using a Saturn V rocket in 1969. Armstrong, along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, made history by being the first humans to set foot on the moon.

A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore parts of outer space, such as planets or asteroids, while a space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft that carries astronauts and cargo to and from Earth's orbit. Space probes are typically used for scientific research and exploration, while space shuttles are used for crewed missions and transporting supplies to space stations.

On April 12, 1981 the space shuttle Columbia was the first shuttle to orbit the Earth.

The maiden flight of the first space shuttle, Columbia, was on April 12, 1981. (On February 1, 2003, following its 28th space flight, Columbia was destroyed during reentry, with the loss of its crew of seven astronauts.)

NASA scientists come from a variety of educational backgrounds, but many hold degrees from prestigious institutions such as MIT, Stanford, Caltech, and Harvard. However, there is no specific requirement for a school to attend in order to become a NASA scientist.

Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) can be considered a satellite because it orbits Earth and is used for various purposes like scientific research, international cooperation, and observations of our planet. However, it is different from typical communication or weather satellites as it is a crewed space laboratory.

There are so many things that could go bad, it's hard to enumerate them.

It could be anything from planetoide impact, through computer failure, fuel tank rupture, hull decompression to toilet malfunction.

The COCOMO tool is used by NASA to estimate the schedule & cost of software tasks based upon the task's complexity. That tool uses 15 LOC/day/developer for large projects or 30 LOC/day/developer for smaller tasks. I personally have known people to bang out hundreds of lines per day but then they do nothing for the rest of the week.

Some technology that has been derived from space shuttles includes advancements in materials, satellite technology, robotics, and life support systems. These innovations have found applications in various industries such as healthcare, communication, and transportation, leading to improvements in everyday life.

Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was the second person to set foot on the moon, after Neil Armstrong. Neil Armstrong had been the commander of the lunar module that landed, the first one to do so. Charles Conrad was the commander of the second lunar module to land on the moon.

As of October 2021, Bill Nelson serves as the Administrator of NASA, overseeing the agency's operations and mission execution. The position of General Manager does not exist in NASA's organizational structure.

Tycho Brahes discovered a new star in Cassiopeia.

NASA has sent spacecraft to all eight planets in our solar system, including numerous missions to Mars. They have also launched missions to study asteroids, comets, and the Sun. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has even left our solar system and is now in interstellar space.
