There was a post in my feed from NASA about Kristine Davis, one of the engineers behind our new spacesuit design.
Was a great article.
And I commented the following;
I remember with great fondness when I was a kid watching the Apollo missions on TV. I had posters, and model rockets, and. I could go on and on. But I kind of lost interest over the years. I still read, and watched, but it just wasn't the same. Now With SpaceX, and others designing all kinds of new rocket tech. Plus working with NASA. Plans to go to the moon again, and to Mars. I'm getting that same childhood glee again. Happy to be alive.
That was met with a ton of thumbs up, and smiles, the whole 9 yards.
then there was one.
ugh, I'm still cringing from it.
it read;
NASA hasn't been to the Moon yet but I'm looking forward to them finally achieving it with Artemis.
Granted that person got slammed every which way till Tuesday. But still. The numbers of the tinfoil hat membership are way too high.
Sorry for the rant. That sort of thing just really is like nails on a chalkboard.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I’d listen to JFK’s moon speech over & over… Had a model of the Saturn Five, command & lunar module.. The Apollo Astronauts were my father’s age … often he & I would be the only ones in the house up at 3 AM to watch an outing on the moon!
From all I’ve witnessed in life, there are those incapable of achieving attention in a positive way, so they go negative. It’s easier. Claiming our planet’s flat, we’ve never been to the moon … or all kinds of dipshit conspiracy theories. They’re sad people. We’re not - we’re more likely to support, before this decade is out - landing a woman on the moon - and bringing her safely home to earth

Agreed. The achievements all the way from Goddard, through Nazi Germany with Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun. and his dream to make a vessel to make it to the moon. Then through Project 'paperclip' the US got him, and implimented into what he already wanted to do. Then the Mercury mission, onto the Apollo missions, then to the moon landings. and soon.
Given all of that, and the math, engineering , Theories, the whole nine yards.
The thought of some smug punks in their moms basement saying that we didn't go to the moon. Is quite frankly, insulting.
Varn:
@TristanNuvo “Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun” - Watched a couple videos a week ago on his plans for a space station, as well as a mission to the moon … and I believe the early Mercury missions ..as YouTube quickly deciphers ‘what you like’
@Varn Most Of what I have gathered about him, aside from reading.Was from the BBC show called Horizon. They had quite a few on him from both the birth of the V2, to the Saturn 5. either way, the evolution from making a rocket that could go hundreds of feet, to reaching the moon, and beyond, is just amazing to me
