New NASA Photos Show Footprints on the Moon From 1969 Landing - Polidicks

[QUOTE][img]http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/article_image_large/articles/apollo12-2.jpg[/img] In new photographs taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we can see the landing sites of some lunar craft, as well as the tracks left by those who flew in them. What creatures left these prints? A semi-dormant species known as the Earth astronaut; to be precise, Alan Bean and Pete Conrad, the crew of the Apollo 12 mission in 1969.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-09/new-nasa-photos-show-footprints-moon[/url] Thought this was kind of neat.

Are the footprints those things that look like veins? [editline]6th September 2011[/editline] [quote]Alan Bean and Pete Conrad[/quote] I know Alan Bean is still alive. I bet he's got the largest penis in the world and beyond.

Watch as the people who believe that the moon landing is fake claim that those are just photoshopped drawings.

My dad said he can remember when the broadcast was going on. Said he can remember be a kid looking up at the moon after the broadcast and his mind almost exploding picturing a couple of guys in white suits hoppin' around on that mystical white rock hanging up in the sky. Fuck I wish I lived through all that history

aeiou

Which is sad given that it happened right at the beginning. Means the rest of those years were relatively uneventful, historically-wise.

They seriously need to put an object in the photo to show the size relation.

I think we can stop with the Moonbase Alpha stuff.

first black president was pretty big too

[QUOTE=Mlisen14;32157558]Two almost decade long conflicts, a global financial crisis, etc.[/QUOTE] There have been decade long conflicts before and financial crises before. The ones in the 2000s are significantly unimportant and minor compared to the wider scope of history. 30 Years War, for example - 3 decades long and far more bloodier. Besides, thinking only in terms of Iraq and Afghanistan is very blind. Somalia, Darfur and many other African nations have been in conflict for far longer. These two only get attention due to US involvement, which really is no big deal. Hell, the Vietnam War is more of a precedent than Iraq. As for financial crisis - Great Depression is a given, but there were many other "great recessions", such as the one in 1896 and another in the (I believe) 1830s (1820s?).

Rarely technology unless it changes the world 100% like aeronautics. I'm not saying it shouldn't be taught, just pointing out that it usually isn't.

It's my firm belief that we will hold in high regard the basic steps we make today, 100 years from now.

In all honesty, I'm really sick of reading history as nothing but war after war when nothing else is given attention such as science, philosophy and technology. I'm fascinated by what society has done with itself in peace but sadly the majority are "entertained" by the moments of life when we aren't and feel peace is a boring read.

[QUOTE=redBadger;32157108] I know Alan Bean is still alive. I bet he's got the largest penis in the world and beyond.[/QUOTE] What makes you say that?

From this thread I gather that when we go to the Moon all we'll be hearing is Moonbase Alpha jokes. NASA what have you done.

Well, if you want social and historical events making it into the history books, this last decade was pretty good. It has the longest war in US history, numerous technological achievements, the development of entire cultures based around the free exchange of information, numerous revolutions and changes of power, the first time a man's mutilated anus became a cultural phenomena, the first mind-controlled prosthetic limbs, the beginnings of medical nanobots, yet more rapid emergency medical treatment (like the skin spray gun for burn victims), etc.
