RoofGardener Posted June 30, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Intriguing... having read the article, I know realise that they are looking to set up a joint spacestation in permanent lunar orbit as a preliminary step to an actual moon landing. From a scientific perspective, that could be colossal ! Edited June 30, 2017 by RoofGardener 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc14 Posted June 30, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2017 So their lander would be designed to operate from the proposed space station rather than like the Apollo lander that drops from a capsule.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding, @Merc14 . I think it's a terrific idea, and I thoroughly approve ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adampadum123 Posted July 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I believe it's much safer to send technology advanced machinery to the moon than humans space is hard on the body not to mention the dangers out there.the reason why the moon landings stopped is because NASA said it is safer to send robotics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the moon landings stopped was because the Nixon administration cut the funding and re-directed NASA to build the space shuttle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted July 20, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2017 A very good point Waspie_dwarf. After all, how many "robots" have been sent to the moon since the original landings ? Very few, I would suggest ? So obviously the agenda was NOT to replace manned missions with robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
