Man ... wish the Apollo astronauts would have taken better


Apr 29, 2022, 12:24 PM

notes ...

NASA trying to "refigure out" how to get a man on the moon is getting expensive.

P.S. If it costs this much to get to the moon, how much are they going to ask for to get to Mars ??

What’s a few billion here and there?


Apr 29, 2022, 1:00 PM

Just print more right?

That’s just the cost of a couple of air craft carriers give or take.

aircraft carrier we don't even have to fly. We can just step off onto the moon. Problem solved.

If you don't need aircraft, that would make it a battleship***

Imagine the amount of money it will take to get to

Uranus. It's going to be at least a crisp $20.

I always heard that a cell phone has more computing


Apr 29, 2022, 1:21 PM

power than all of the computers they used to send a man to the moon.

Surely someone down there has a spare iphone they can borrow to make this happen.

Grampa said it was all done on a hollywood stage anyway


Apr 29, 2022, 1:19 PM

I'd think they could do all of that on a computer these days.

I wish people would stay off the moon.


Apr 29, 2022, 1:20 PM

I mean, I claimed it in 1968. One would think that my claim would be legally binding because I backed it up with a birthday wish and blew out the candles on the cake in one try and everything. I think the government doesn't recognize my claim just because I haven't had time to go there and plant my flag. I have a very busy schedule, you know.

Are you claiming it b/c giant ball of snakes? Or the cheese?


Apr 29, 2022, 1:26 PM

Maybe Alex would know what kind of cheese it is.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Cheese.


Apr 29, 2022, 2:45 PM

It's ALWAYS been about the cheese.

Yep, those nerdy white dudes with crew cuts, thick horn-rimmed

glasses, and pocket protectors had us riding around in dune buggies on the moon... with little more than a #2 pencil and a slide rule. Your kid's first smart phone a decade ago had more computing power than all of Mission Control...

But we're more advanced now. OK.
