Over the years I e told you time and time again that ‘science’ does not say the Big Bang was the beginning. The beginning of the current laws of the universe but science does not say nothing came before. This is why these discussions are a total waste of time with you. You have absolutely no interest in learning.

It doesn’t reach that speed in the atmosphere. Stage 2 tops out at about 15k mph at over 100 miles altitude. Outer space is classed as 62 miles altitude. This would generally be considered having left the earths atmosphere. Speed at that altitude is probably around 10k mph.
-
You say no one witnessed the speed but do you not think the soviets were tracking the missions with their icbm radar? Spoiler they did. Way too many states, friendly and adversary, have verified the Apollo missions. I genuinely don’t think people like yourself could ever actually believe it happened. You’ll always find an excuse.
-
Possibly some unmanned space probes that have gone to the moon and back?
-
You can’t verify anything 100% truly but I understand. But I don’t get why you think it’s not possible? You must have a reason other than “I haven’t seen it happen”? I don’t know any recovered manned craft that has done 25k mph other than Apollo program reentry modules. But then we’ve never travelled as far before or since. The nearest would be shuttle runs to the ISS like the space x dragon modules. They’ll hit around 18k mph. Do you believe they’re real? And if so why is 25k significantly different to 18k?
-
Isn’t it. Tbf that was a time that governments were rolling money into all sorts of R&D to compete with the Soviets.
-
If we answer each other with questions then we’ll be here all day. Why don’t you believe a space craft can travel at 25k mph?
-
The earths circumstance is 25000 miles, so you’d go around it once. Why can no craft survive that speed?

Have you ever been to such a supplier? In the far east or Europe? Seen the lines, spoke to the employees?
-
You really don’t.
-
But they gave up on the moon. They lost and chose to invest on other fronts. In a discussion about rocket science, this really isn’t.
-
Fair enough, so absolutely none. LOL If I had a quid for every big time fella with “common sense” that waded into tech and thought they could tell all the actual experts they were doing things wrong.
-
Its not unbelievable, its incredible. They gave up because they achieved their strategic goals of ruining the soviets and regaining the optics of being the best. The ROI of continuing was basically shite. So what do you do for a living that gives you the experience and knowledge to comment on how difficult product development / program management is?
-
Based on your career in product development? Putting humans on the moon is amongst the most technically complex programs humanity could currently undertake. It’s comparable to a state spinning up a nuclear submarine fleet or a super carrier strike group where they previously had none and had no other state to mentor them. It takes a top tech company in a truly saturated market 18-36 months to launch a new phone. It takes an entire country 30 years to knock out a next gen nuclear submarine fleet. When the UK got back into the carrier strike game its taken literal decades to get to operat

The fella was tasked to sort the nations finances out and believes deeply in balancing the books. To then see the same president that tasked him with that go and spunk a load of money that they don’t have probably has something to do with it. Is it betrayal or simply not being a yes man? RFK doesn’t like the oil companies but Trump does. There’s loads of misalignment.
-
Who thinks we’ll go back soon with the Artemis programme or another? I think it’s going to happen. Costs of operating in space are/will plummet and it’s becoming more valuable.

Awesome mate

I don’t really keep these facts at the forefront of my memory believe it or not but the Saturn V was one big c**t of a rocket with about a million gallons of fuel. That’s unimaginable. Couple that with accelerating through less and less dense atmosphere it’s really not that unbelievable. Get rid of the air resistance and it’s just not a big deal with just gravity to fight, which is a steady and consistent force, unlike the turbulence due to air. Even at an acceleration of 3 g, which isn’t outrageous, you’d get to 25k mph in 22 mins (I think).
-
Sound doesn’t really propagate in space so you can’t do Mach anything.
-
It absolutely did not travel 1/8th c. In fact if we could achieve even 1/80th c we would be able to do some real cool shit. You’re facts are wrong. It did 25k mph. Light does 670M mph.

Buy 100k worth of goods from china and sell them to the yanks for 200k undercutting direct supply by 45k
-
Manipulating space and time though, outside of ‘normal’ special/general relativity, is fantasy.
-
Technically a rocket can do that. In actuality they haven’t done it yet but technically could. The DoD got very excited about Elons super heavy because they could drop 100+ tons of cargo anywhere in the world within 1 hr of launch with comparable cost to traditional air lift (C5 galaxy).
