When you bought a car in the 60's. Your owner manual gave instructions on how to adjust your valve lash. Today, your manual warns against drinking the antifreeze. Society has become "stupidy".

Pretty impressive that you can take less than five minutes worth of talking points and stretch it out for over 30 minutes.
-
Imagine we spent 800billion on space exploration instead of war...
-
They aren't going back because they NEVER went to the moon in the first place ...too hard to fool us now
-
With modern technology it should be easier not harder
-
That’s ludicrous that we couldn’t rebuild a Saturn V rocket today, I do not believe that for a second. The other idea that we lost some of the technology we used is also preposterous.
-
At this rate its more likely we invent time travel and go back to the 60's to beg for the technology to go to the moon

13.3% of the federal budget goes to the military, 12.7% to education, 0.3% to Nasa.

Thank you for not using AI generated narration like so many channels have defaulted to.
-
you can't return to a place you've never been
-
One possibility is that we never actually went there in the first place. Or maybe it's just that tragic loss of all that data that is such a "painful process" to get back.
-
Boeing is the primary SLS contractor so I'm going to bet on odds of the door flying off mid flight and the project being grounded for years.
-
Stanley Kubrick died is the real reason.
-
Interesting that it could be done in the 1960’s with one launch, but now we need 20… very interesting. Anyone believe this?
-
$300 billion moon landing budget 1960s politicians: "Let's not and say we did"
-
It is hard to do again something that was never done originally
-
"I like money" Proof that the movie "Idiocracy" is a documentary
-
Forgot to mention NASA also "lost" about 14.000 tapes with telemetry data from the Apollo project, vanish, gone.
-
We have to get there for the first time before we can get there a second.
-
We never went to the moon!
