Tbf that was a time that governments were rolling money into all sorts of R&D to compete with the Soviets. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now, I’m sure someone will say that’s impossible as you can’t go back in time and I’m not going to open that particular can of worms trying to explain it ! LOL ! Cheers. Meanwhile back in Russia.

A Boeing 747 was also the first jumbo jet to fly to Australia 1970. Not sure if the pilot had to fly upside down, though? Your thoughts, Gooey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isn’t it amazing that the Wright brothers first flew in 1903, for 20 seconds, and 70 years later an aircraft capable of carrying 400 people flew halfway round the world and man had walked on the moon !

How can we verify is 100 percent is true? 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? Edited June 6 by Born Hunter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,909 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Possibly some unmanned space probes that have gone to the moon and back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,909 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
