Unmanned Indian spaceprobe lands on the Moon

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Unmanned Indian spaceprobe Chandrayaan 3 succesfully landed on the Moon yesterday. It landed in the Southern Polar Regions.



Last Saturday, Russian unmanned spaceprobe Luna 25 crashed onto the Moon.

There has been an international push to get to the Moon's South Poles because it's widely held that there is water-ice in the deeper craters there. Pretty big deal for a variety of reasons....

So the small rich part of India can accomplish that, but can't spend that money or put those brains together to fix the rampant poverty for everyone else. I mean grats and all, but... yeah.


And really Russia...? Maybe it's time to go into hibernation or a while, so to speak, quite all your BS and get your crap together. Maybe overthrow someone while you're at it and come back to the world later when you've managed to do some renovating for the better of yourself and the global community around you. No need to keep failing to prove... well, I'm not sure what.

India launched another unmanned spaceprobe, Aditya-L1, to study the Sun.

The 'footage' looks like an early 90s Nintendo game.
Which it probably is.....

I think the biggest mistake we could make is to, at this point in the realm of science, underestimate that any larger country can't compete with the U.S. on these fronts. Every other country is moving forward while our $#!(bag leadership prattles on about charging your phone on electric buses and our peasants argue about "gender".

We are getting crushed on the global stage in all of the ways that actually matter.

Take a gander at some of the original footage of the 1960s 'moon landings'.
Examples: With only 1 light source (the sun), why are the shadows of things (landing module, astronauts, flag, rocks) falling in different directions ?
When an astronaut exits the landing module on the shadow side, why is he fully illuminated ? Internal glow from eating mutagen ?
Why do 2 allegedly different slopes on the moon look exactly identical, right down to the shape, size and location of specific rocks ?
Methinks something is VERY fishy here.....

I think you Americans need to step away from all your 24 hour cable "news" channels. I don't care if it's left or right. Fox, CNN or whatever. Turn it off.

Aside from the fact you know, the moon is very reflective of the sun's rays (after all, how else would we see it from Earth?), go outside when the sun is low in the sky and see this effect for yourself. Just like the images from Apollo 11, the shadows will not be parallel.

And the biggest tell is that Russia, America's enemy in the space race, said nothing, they said congratulations. No complaints, no accusations America hadn't gotten to the moon, nada. If they think America succeeded... funny how all the conspiracies and doubts are internal.

Oh my god, do any oldtime-Dromers remember Australian nutbag Jarrah White? Jarrah was known for two things: His unshakable belief that the moon landing was faked and his perverse obsession with Venus from the Next Mutation show (the latter got him eventually banned). Just had a déjà vu.

On-topic, as an Indian, this news leaves me… indifferent? India‘s been thriving economically for a couple of years but it feels like they need to get lots of other stuff done before going into space.

Honestly, can we get a fully supported moon landing in 2023 with a full camera crew, with the fish eye lenses left at home so the conspiracists don't fret? Let's just do it. Why isn't this a thing yet? I really want to believe we did this in the 60s, and I do, but they're making it very hard to.

Agreed. Removing themselves from the muck of Twitter would also help.

C'mon, dude, don't be that guy.

Yeah. That guy.

That'd be great. Unfortunately, it would be probably be considered a waste of money and time -- the whole, "we have problems at home," argument.

It's a huge problem because those cable news channels might as well be propaganda channels to manipulate the peasant-thinkers. FOX has it's moments, but at it's peak CNN was so over the top that I can't even describe it. But take it or leave that observation I suppose, because "of course I would say that".

But to your point, yeah.

As for this faked moon landing thing? I have never once believed that the moon landing was faked. But I will say that the presence of weird footage would, of course, galvanize people. But there is a modified position that addresses "fake footage". And that is to remember that we were in a space race that might as well been a war for public opinion between nations.

My point? Of course we went to the moon but that doesn't preclude the possibility that the government also commissioned fake moon landing footage to coincide with it for a variety of reasons. But no one ever considers this - peasant thinking dictates the thought of least resistance which will typically equal "if there was fake moon footage then the entire operation was phony and didn't happen", or "none of it is fake - we went to the moon". People are dumb, which is why psy-op tactics work - every time. And they always will.
