Gods speed Artemis 2. The world is with you ππ.
02 Apr 2026 10:10:43
A nice wee 685000 miles trip around the moon. That must be some adrenaline rush at lift off for those inside the rocket.
02 Apr 2026 10:53:59
I think I'd have some methane boosters myself sitting in that. π π
02 Apr 2026 11:24:07
Wouldn't believe NASA if they told me it gets dark at night.
02 Apr 2026 13:37:22
Ironic, perhaps, that they launched on April Fools Day.
02 Apr 2026 14:13:43
Cooper, you are entitled to believe what you will.
As someone who has dedicated their entire life to science based fields and with a deep interest in astrology and cosmology, it was an exciting time.
02 Apr 2026 15:36:34
Yeah, great things, Aphelion, and nothing against these interests, but as I said, I don't trust anything that NASA says or does. Nothing against you, buddy.
02 Apr 2026 16:08:21
I am with Cooper on this. I don't believe anyone has set foot on the moon either for that matter.
02 Apr 2026 16:17:09
NASA is possibly just a way of funnelling money to black ops and CIA funds.
The money they spend a year is insane. It's millions a day. Not a lot to show for it.
I'm not sure yet, my thoughts on the NASA and space stuff, but it's definitely interesting to read the different theories.
Flat earth? No, I don't agree with that.
Still don't think they've been to the moon though.
02 Apr 2026 16:53:21
It must be magic looking out the window of your spaceship belting through space at 25,000 mph.
02 Apr 2026 16:53:31
What you recon the chances are they could order a Deliveroo 685000 round trip curry n Burger King. π
02 Apr 2026 18:20:47
I'm not into the conspiracy stuff, but the only thing that makes me question if it happened is that one of them didn't walk on it. I mean, seriously, go all the way to the moon and u stay on board the ship?
02 Apr 2026 18:43:20
Kaiser, I know it seems crazy, but not all astronauts are EVA trained and certified.
I hope this clears that question up.
02 Apr 2026 19:15:21
If you're going to the moon, you're having every requirement needed, trained, certified, etc. Well, imo.
Along the lines, myself, Cooper.
02 Apr 2026 19:24:41
You clearly do not understand the different roles each has on a mission.
All astronauts receive basic EVA familiarization training.
Not all astronauts receive full EVA certification.
Only astronauts assigned to perform spacewalk activities receive the extensive training required.
Lunar Module lands 2 astronauts, whilst the other remained as a Command Module Pilot.
02 Apr 2026 19:38:51
I'm pretty sure 3 Cheers and White Horse have been to the moon, if not, they're wired to it. ππ€£ππ
02 Apr 2026 19:46:52
You're very correct, Aphelion. I know nothing about that or even want to. Older lassie has interest in that, just not for me.
02 Apr 2026 19:54:51
The biggest red flag on NASA for me, for anyone who is interested in this stuff, is the one that blew up just after launch.
Was it Challenger, late 80s? It exploded after take off, but if yous look it up there's a lot of good theories, as in there is 2 sets of twins from the crew, all have these lookalikes with jobs that match the skills of the astronauts.
The likeliness is unbelievable, and to have 7, or 5 if u take away the twins, with identical lookalikes with same skill sets all in America is surely a bit hard to imagine.
Really look it up. Shows u parents standing laughing after explosion, which nobody would do.
Well worth a look for anyone who's into that stuff. If not all good I'll put my tinfoil hat away haha.
02 Apr 2026 20:21:50
I'm very good friends with the man on the moon Fork, I used to visit him quite frequently. ππΏπ₯πππͺ
02 Apr 2026 20:28:10
Stevie, the amount of science and inventions which come from space research and travel is huge. That is why money is spent. Cochlear implants, insulin pumps, improved cancer drug delivery, advanced artificial limbs, LASIK eye tracking, infrared ear thermometers, memory foam, water filtration systems, and many more.
They don't just go up for a jolly, and the stuff they use to get there improves what we have, and the testing they do improves current processes.
So even if someone doesn't believe they went on the moon, the benefits to us are multifold.
02 Apr 2026 20:46:50
Stevie, I'm beginning to think you're a full blown conspiracy researcher. π π π π
02 Apr 2026 20:56:11
Look up Neil Armstrong refusing to put his hand on the Bible and swear he's been to the Moon. [A funny thing happened on the way to the Moon].
Guys followed him for years and he just won't do it. Guys offered him a good few grand to do it as well. Cash in his hand just put your hand on Bible n swear u have been to the Moon and he will not do it.
A 3 second job and he's got 5 grand and Aldrin punches Bart Sibrel. Suspicious behaviour man.
If they've been fine. But they absolutely a million percent did not go when they said they did mate that was absolute rubbish man. Never seen so much rubbish in ma life bro.
Do u believe they did it when they claimed? Why destroy all the technology and say that's why they haven't been back since. It's amazing we can go to the Moon but we've still not explored our own oceans.
I'm not π― sure on what I think now as technology has advanced more in 50 years than in last 500, it's just went boom since the alleged UFO crashes. I think they've done reverse engineering and that's where all our techs came from. Everything we buy tech wise has likely come from those reverse engineering.
We're buying tech the military and CIA etc have had for 20 years. So what have they got now. Check out Bob Lazar. Amazing stuff.
02 Apr 2026 20:52:03
When did Boots open a pharmacy in the "Sea of Tranquillity"? I'd imagine you're pretty tranquil while you're there, πΌ "Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars". πΆ π
02 Apr 2026 20:55:00
My biggest disappointment is Trump never got a seat on module.
02 Apr 2026 21:02:07
Nice editing job, Ed. ππ
{Ed033's Note - Thank you.
02 Apr 2026 21:07:37
Health and safety, John, imagine you were sitting beside him, his hair would be everywhere, in your eyes, up your nose, in your mouth, etc.
02 Apr 2026 21:14:26
Seen that Stevie G, thought someone had made that up about the survivors, but one guy tracked them down, two or three living as identical twins and others not even changed their names. Some of the green screen on the space station is a joke as well. Was gutted right enough, was right into NASA as a kid.
02 Apr 2026 21:54:30
Fun space fact.
The International Space Station orbits the Earth 16 times a day, taking 90 mins for each orbit, travelling at 17500 mph.
02 Apr 2026 21:57:06
Coopersdad, it's unbelievable how in your face it is, as u say, the professor at a top university a woman Carly hair is an absolute identical match for the woman who does. She had the exact same name and is teaching whatever science type dstuff the female astronaut was an expert in.
The Chinese guy was a twin as well as the black guy.
It is really one of the best so called conspiracies I've seen yet, mate.
People think I'm insane and I get that so I'm over it. I'm good with it. I just ask them to take the time to look it up themselves and never once has anyone disagreed after I show them these things.
02 Apr 2026 22:12:50
Fork I'm full blown mad, mate. Went down 1 rabbit hole as they call it n I don't think I've come up for air, mate.
Blame the internet hahaha.
02 Apr 2026 22:19:39
Ed cheers for adding wee bits to the post like guys name Bart sibrel, I couldn't have told you that. ππ»
{Ed033's Note - ok, thanks.
02 Apr 2026 22:39:43
Just realised Ed I've started the post/story with Armstrong.
That's this CTE I've got with my memory and words etc, make an arse of words all the time.
Cheers for fixing the important part.
{Ed033's Note - ok, thanks.
02 Apr 2026 22:59:06
Fork my family opened a pub on the moon. Sadly they had to close it as it had no atmosphere.
I will be contacting the Clangers about you though.
03 Apr 2026 00:05:40
Good yin, Horse. π€£
03 Apr 2026 00:15:51
Aye Horse, not and mate. π
03 Apr 2026 00:28:50
StewRtyblue, more chance of getting it delivered than there is man setting foot on the moon.
03 Apr 2026 00:53:35
How did Nixon get a signal to speak to them on the Moon in the 60s? C'mon man. Same as the river, what fuel was used? How did the capsule take off from the Moon's surface with no atmosphere? The thing they had on the Moon's surface is like a prop from 60s Batman, its tinfoil and cheap rubbish.
03 Apr 2026 01:18:49
Stevie G new, are you doubting my family pub?
03 Apr 2026 06:24:39
The Clangers. π That takes me back. π
03 Apr 2026 13:07:19
Stevie, communication via radio waves had been long in use commercially. They used multiple fuels, with the most important being liquid O2 and a massive amount of it to get the required thrust. Atmosphere inhibits travel via friction, so it makes it much easier to get to orbit, as does the lower gravity.
The Yanks 100% got to the Moon when they said they did. The Russians were tracking them all the way, and would have called BS if they did not.
We did not advance scientifically from aliens. It was done by scientists over centuries, advancing our knowledge and understanding step by step.
03 Apr 2026 13:39:27
Tommy, nah mate, not buying it, not a chance in hell did rout men on the surface of the Moon when they said they did. Not a chance did the tech they had back then capable of such a feat, and In fact, maybe isn't still to this day, hence they've never been back.
03 Apr 2026 13:40:37
Horse, that is a spell correct maybe can't remember what I had written, but I was saying spot on or something lol.
03 Apr 2026 17:10:03
Communication would not have been a problem, Stevie, using dish antennas and frequencies up in the GHz band. There's nothing in the way to block signals between the Earth and the Moon, as anything above 50MHz just goes straight through the ionosphere, which is a layer of positively charged gas about 80 miles up in the atmosphere that radio waves below 50MHz generally bounce off and come back down to Earth because the wavelength is too long.
The Yanks also got hold of lots of the German engineers who were involved in the designing/building of the rockets used by the Nazis in WW2, so another 25yrs of development and millions of dollars later, then also not a problem.
Did they put men on the Moon? I don't know, and I don't care, but I like to think that they did. π½
03 Apr 2026 17:12:08
Tommy, am sorry. Although I believed everything NASA said when younger, there is that many times they have been caught lying. Man has never been out of Earth's atmosphere and never will. Why they lie I don't know, but they do. This is what happens in an international break, people talking about space on a Rangers site lol.
03 Apr 2026 19:01:03
Definitely agree on the international break, Cooper, I am finding it funny, to be fair.
We can agree to disagree on it.
I am way less optimistic about this mission than Aphelion. For me, these missions are not scientific in nature but militaristic.
Warfare is increasingly reliant on space with intelligence and communications. A military presence on the Moon is inevitable for controlling space militarily, and that's what they are doing here, imo.
Plus, they definitely did, lol.
03 Apr 2026 20:47:07
Regardless of opinions, lads, that's a great wee discussion we've all had. I really enjoyed reading everyone's views. ππ»
03 Apr 2026 21:15:53
You cannot beat a bit of rocket talk, but thank God we are back in action tomorrow and hopefully we are talking about being top of the league.
04 Apr 2026 09:00:36
So Artemis isn't outside the atmosphere or the space station or Moonbase Alpha π, all lies, lies n damned lies. π π
04 Apr 2026 12:01:13
A just watched the lift off their Tommy, it had 14 edits before it so-called hit space with not one view of the AstroNOTS crapping themselves in the shuttle on lift off. A few mins in, we are given a cartoon image of the rocket in space.
Whatever is happening, going up or not, they do make it easy for people to ponder that it's a lie. Anyway, Rangers to go on a goal blitz today.
05 Apr 2026 04:11:32
Cooper, I seen the pics of Earth right, if u look at bottom left of globe u will see that from day to night the continent of Africa hasn't moved. Maybe someone more intelligent than me can explain bit, go look it's not moved.
Also, the pics from 69 and the one from now have same clouds over too right corner of globe in daytime pics.
Go check before ye jump on ma back, guys.
05 Apr 2026 20:56:09
There is an argument for rounding up world leaders and sending them up for a wee trip. Hearing tales from astronauts, it seems like a deeply spiritual, almost transcendental experience.
