No shite they couldnt do it right now. It would be a waste of resources if they started working on plans for it before the mission started the way technology advances so quickly. NASA is very strict with their budget and it would be a waste to plan ways to do it before 2017 (when artemis started apparently) when new tech could make it obsolete before a planned launch

NASA is literally in the middle of engineering a way to send a man to the moon. They’ve never said they couldn’t do that (not that you’ll believe what they say anyway). Weird little logic pretzel you’ve twisted yourself into.

Cruising at over 1,100/mph and still talking to it. Amazing!

Isn’t the first test of that, Artemis 1, launching like this Summer?
And then a manned flyby a few years later?
We will be back on the moon this decade.

Is this a space nerd joke that Scruffy doesn’t understand?
Euler "discovered" the first three Lagrange points shortly before Lagrange, Lagrange discovered the next two. The quiet Swiss guy gets little credit whereas the loud Italian/French guy gets the lion's share.
Lagrange points are places where the Earth and Sun's gravitational fields balance each other and you can "park" something like the Webb (in this case at L2) and it will stay there. L1-3 are unstable because space is curved there whereas L4-5 have flat areas and are stable. Get a little off-center on L1-3 and the object will either spiral into the Earth, Sun, or spiral out into the galaxy.

Interesting way of coping with the admission they lost the tech and don’t have any way of recreating the necessary tech to send a man to the moon.
This isn’t about would they be doing it or not with unlimited budget. This is a straight up admission to having no idea what to do even if they could.

The Lagrange points. (Not to scale)

Please stop. You’re not converting anyone here. Bump your other thread for this conversation.

Im sure they had a few ideas floating around in their collective heads. Probably easier to say they have no idea than to waste their time trying to explain it to the public including people your age that would keep asking "Why? Why? Why?"
Also not sure what you mean "they lost the tech"
They would never have used that tech on another moon mission. It would be like saying Formula 1 manufacturers lost the tech to make the cars they did in the 60s. Its obsolete tech.

The analogy I heard was the magnification level was compared to being able to read the heat signature of a bee on the moon from earth, very cool.

They are literally working on it right now and the first unmanned test launch is this summer with a manned launched that orbits in 2024.

Same with the fact that the warm, sunny side of the craft is 138 degrees while the dark side is -208 degrees. 346 degrees farenheit difference between the light and dark sides of the Webb
Ehh, the oven in my kitchen can accomplish that.

*And you are incorrect. They have openly said they cannot recreate the tech to send man to the moon. They admit it was destroyed and they lack the ability to do it. This isn’t debatable, I’m sorry.

So what you're suggesting is that humans who could land on the moon in 1960 with the technology of the times could not figure out how to do that again with the benefit of those original experiences and 60 years of additional space travel and technological advancement?
Just want to make sure I'm reading that right.

I’m surprised he even believes in the confederacy. I figured he’d assume it was a vast conspiracy to make southerners look dumb, too bad he’s doing a good enough job of that by himself.
