What's Up With The Moon? |
|
Since 1972, NASA have abandoned the exploration of Earths nearest neighbour. It is almost as if Luna ceased to exist at the end of Project Apollo. Even the Russians gave up their robotic efforts and quit further attempts at a manned mission to the Moon. One wonders; WHY? Current efforts at space exploration are focused on low orbit manned projects and the robotic investigation of Mars, Venus, the outer planets and the rest of the solar system. Luna is curiously absent from all these programs, despite the fact that it's the closest of them all. The Moon is only THREE days away by means of current technology. All other solar bodies are months or years away. The Moon has proven natural resources, whilst all the others resources are speculation and theory. How can mankind set his sights on Mars before even adequately exploiting the Moon? This is like pretending that a trip to Antarctica is simpler than a trip to Wyoming! |

It is my considered opinion that the Apollo and robot probes of the sixties and seventies, discovered something which scared the stuffing out of our leaders. The accumulated evidence only hints at what this might be. Photographs of structured anomalies are almost commonplace. The dating of Moon rocks indicate a lunar age a billion or more years older than Earth. Measurements of lunar density suggest that the Moon has hollow areas within. Reputed radio transmissions from Apollo astronauts refer to the observation of other space craft and buildings. I believe that human manned space exploration sadly, has no goal. A nebulous and uncommitted promise to send people to Mars in twenty or thirty years is just a diversion. To plan an expedition to Mars without returning to the Moon first, is just sheerest folly. There is a great deal yet to learn about using space for the benefit of humanity. Luna should be humanity's outer space kindergarten and it is being ignored. Something about all this doesn't add up. We are being led astray, or worse. What is up with the Moon that we, as people, are not being told about?
