It's funny how lots of countries have the moon on their flags, but only one country has its flag on the moon.

He should have stopped filming when they told him there would be no US flag planted on the moon. Yes it was an accomplishment of man, brought to you by the United States of America and our people (and some German rocket engineer help).

It WaS a GLoBaL AcHiEVemEnt

No it wasn't you moron, that was the whole point of the cold war, America and capitalism demonstrating their superiority to the USSR and communism. It is the only reason we went to the Moon in the first place. It's such a great movie too, such a fucking shame it was directed by a commie. Literal quote from his twitter:

"The Trump administration is openly endorsing nazism and white supremacy"

Come the fuck on now

I’m surprised the libs don’t want to go back to the moon to peacefully remove the American flag

It has been bleached white by now due to solar radiation.

All except for Apollo 11's flag. It's been mostly buried under lunar soil. That only happened because it was planed way too close to the LM and was knocked over when they lifted off.

Solar radiation travels quite far into the lunar surface soil. It is why the probes drill holes and auger trenches to look for life and water.

I did not know that. Awesome, I learned a new fact and it makes mine likely mute.......I'm okay with that.

Happy to help! Learning new things is awesome. Likely moot, I bet it was a word you have heard but never saw in print. My better half does word of the day quizzes and she has definitely broadened my vocabulary but the spelling of these old use words are always tough. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the correction. This is one of the reason I do enjoy coming to the donald. Civil and productive discourse.

Racist! If it’s not a rainbow flag with those presumptuous black and brown stripes, then it’s gotta go!

On the Jews boats that the Africans that captured and raped their own tribes women and children and then sold them to the Jews to sell, Ill go with that for 1000 Alex. Africans sold their own people.

The new NASA spacesuits looks so pathetic. Soy-suits. Nothing bad ass about them.

The old ones looked like power armor... the new ones look like picture day in 4th grade.

What if this time we go back and put a whole mess of solar powered LED lights in the form of an American flag? To be feasible you'd need some form of automated deployment method, say an army of drones, and a timer so that you can save up enough solar energy to only turn it on a couple nights a month, but what if once a month, when the moon was full over the US, we had a giant American flag lit up for the entire nation to see? Wouldn't that give you one hell of a patriotic hard on?

Drones cannot fly in the vacuum of space.

Your plan is what we call in engineering... half baked... though with good intentions, I will give you that much.

The best way to put our flag on the moon would be to cut it in like corn mazes are made. There is no weather on the moon. Automated rovers running around dragging a rake to scrape the pattern over a decade or more.

The socialists/globalists would have a coronary every time they looked up and saw it taking shape.

Drones don't have to fly. Even your idea would be better accomplished with drones, and not having an astronaut running the rover for days on end.

And that's why I want the lights. Red white and blue shining out.

Automated rover. Like how your neighbor's Tesla runs... or harvesters do in corn fields. Wait a minute are you glowing? Yep. Blocked.

1
BernieBro2point0 1 point ago +1 / -0

Am I glowing? What?

And yes. An automated rover. A type of drone.

Also, nobody around me owns a Tesla. At least they won't until the CyberTruck comes out. But even then it's just the younger folks like me that want one. All the old farts are like "It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie!" and I'm like "Yup."

The harvester analogy was better. But where do you live that somebody's neighbor would have a Tesla and yet understand how farm equipment works? Cuz, I gotta be honest, it kind of sounds like my kind of place. Farmers that own Teslas? That would be a very cool crowd

I'm not a theorist of Capricorn 1, but I am curious why no star light is in the above picture.

It has to do with the exposure of the camera. The surface of the moon is extremely bright relative to the stars, so in order to get a good photo on the surface, the brightness is reduced and the stars are not captured.

The same tech exists in your smart phone, you can test it out.

can't see or photograph stars when the sun is out, try it

I can't fly a flag in my area. Deep in UAW Metro Detroit. Flying an American flag = Supporting the President of the United States = cars and house getting vandalized = customers not buying your product/patronizing your business.

Governor Whitmer gets all of her support from here. Mask wearing zombies driving around looking for Trump banners and American flags to photograph and shame online.
