You do realise that spaceflights and Moon landings have all been fake, right?

It's both amazing and horrible that society lets lobotomites access both electronics and the internet.

I hope you're joking. The idea that two completely ideologically opposed superpowers engaged in a phantom space race that resulted in humans stepping on another world for the first time and neither took the opportunity to definitively prove their rivals are a fraud is frankly laughable. The space race was a logical evolution of the rocket technology pioneered by von Braun and others during World War 2 (guessing that was probably faked too...). Is the ISS also fake? Are the current tests of the Starliner and the Falcon Super Heavy also fake? Again, an evolution of what came before. Surely a conspiracy nut like Elon would be shouting from the rooftops if it turned out we'd never been to the moon the first time around?

 

I swear there's only 2 reasons you lot make claims like this: either you're doing it for shits and giggles (most likely) or you have some warped idea that by continuously denying the existence of space travel and the shape of the earth, someone's going to invite you into a rocket to see space for yourself. Nobody can be this dense.

He’s a nutcase. Look at his post history. Let’s just hope he hasn’t reproduced.

I see you were a good student, but unfortunately it really is all fairytale, movie production for the masses. They're hiding the truth from us that we live in a simulation and you can't access Moon, other planets etc because that's all holograms. Expand your consciousness, bro and you will see it too.

Yep, classic troll. Bravo, at least this one made me laugh.

I don't know about any of that but that Capricorn One film? Definitely a fake.

Some others who weren't there include Valentin Lebedev, Pyotr Klimuk (seems to live in Belarus? Anyways his 80th birthday was a while ago and in new images he looks like he could easily win the local Robbie Coltrane lookalike contest), Vitaly Zholobov (lives or lived in Ukraine, Kherson to be precise, reported to be suffering from some health issues in 2020), Vyacheslav Zudov, Vladimir Kovalyonok (obese but seems to be doing fine), Yuri Romanenko and Leonid Popov.

Vyacheslav Zudov has died aged 82.

Joe Engle dead at 91.

He was the last X-15 pilot and STS-2 crew member (Dick Truly having died a couple months ago, and yes that is in fact his real name.)

How many Space Shuttle astronauts are still kicking?

A good many, even from the early pre-Challenger missions. It's the Apollo and Skylab era astronauts that have been dying off.

Worst case they use a CD to get them down.

They'll be remarkably safe up in the ISS by space standards. It's primarily a budget issue, NASA needing the extra money to get two extra astronauts home.

 

That Boeing sent up two astronauts knowing there was danger in getting them back is the scandal.

At least they're not up there on sofware designed to make it cheaper to train, or rather not train, pilots on a model change and flying them, and all their passengers, into the ground in the process. Go Boeing.

They’ll be brought back in february 2025

[Craigerz 60]

I feel like at least one of the original Apollo astronauts dies each month, since they're all men aged 90+

They should try turning off the lights at the movie set, then the actors should exit on their own.

In case someone didn't understand this, I'll explain: space station = movie set, astronauts = actors. Sorry for offering you only the red pill, if you want the blue one instead, here's something for you: "Oh no, I hope NASA finds a way to bring back home these 2 brilliant minds who have devoted their lives to building technology for space exploration and exploring vast cosmic landscapes that could play a decisive factor in future survival of the human kind".

Scientists announce they finally discovered a man with negative IQ, John Q. Scientist said to reporters 'I didn't think it was possible, but after concluding this peer-reviewed study my colleagues and I are absolutely certain that not a single intelligent thought resides in his head and honestly, I'm not even sure he can be classified as sentient.'

My dad’s been to a rocket launch. Saw the astronauts get inside and the vessel leave the atmosphere.
 

So in your head did he imagine it or is he one of the Matrix’s agents tasked to keep ppl blue pilled?
 

Idiot.

Ty for asking, I've prepared a red pill for this occasion. The real space program (trying to launch a rocket in space etc) really existed in 20th century but it was concluded because they discovered that nothing can pass through a specific barrier (Van Allen radiation belt), which means it's not possible to leave this place nor send anything from here in space because it simply gets destroyed when it reaches that barrier. Ofc they didn't want to tell this to general public because it could imply that we don't live on a globe circling through space, so instead they continued with fake space program (actually high-tech movie production). If someone saw a rocket flying to space, then they either just thought that was happening or it was a high-tech production, but no rocket or anything can leave to space and in fact, we do not even possess technology from 20th century's rocket program anymore because it was all abandoned after aforementioned conclusion.
