It much easier to run a corrupt oppressive government when you write everything down in pencil.  It's so much easier to erase and say it never happened!

Bounder,

Here are your remarks when I asked when was the last time you saw a monkey looking up at the sky contemplating where he came from...

1. Plenty of footage of apes, not monkeys, doing precisely that.

 

3.How can you tell whether someone is conteplating where they came from just by looking at them?

Apparently you could tell the apes were doing it.  :-)

Sorry i didnt mean it to say there was no reason for space exploration or anything like that.  

Nuke was going into one saying USA was the best and everything, he said:

.... I feel my opinions carry a little more weight than those from other countries.

We put a man on the moon, you din't. Your jealous, we're not.

If we feel we need to take out a few countries, we will.

I am great by virtue of being an American and everyone else needs to aknowlege the respect we have earned.

i simply said:

you keep thinking that nuke. im not jealous of americans or america in any way.

Fair enough you put a man on the moon, wtg look how that has improved humanity. Think of the achievements of other countries over the last few thousand years and you may realise you are not the only nation that is proud, or then again you probably wont

meaning look how it has improved life for the everyday person.  maybe i should have selected my words better.  Its similar going to the top of mount everest, or crossing the antartic but on a larger scale.  

Its a great human achievement but what benefits does it carry.  I know you will say it will pave the way for future travel or something along those lines.  But i was talking about the one feat.

And GrimCO, no need to write an essay about it!  I wasnt stating that it had no significance, to be honest i was merely trying to get back at NUKE for posting such a handsomehunk comment.

and Syzygyone maybe if you are going to quote someone like u did me, maybe you should think to put the thread link in the post? to see what context they were saying it?

Of course I could, I just used the same method you use for humans , which I was hoping you'd share with us?

[GrimCO]

Furball,

I hope you don't think Nuke's opinions are that of the vast majority of Americans...

Sorry I misunderstood your intentions...

[Furball]

Np grimco, if someone had posted this about someone else i would have thought the same if i hadn't read the original thread.  

As i just edited my last post to say - Syzygyone should have posted the original thread link so you could see what context i was using it.

Bounder,

I doubt we use the same methods to determine if humans contemplate their being here vs. apes.

If I need to know if a human is contemplating it, I just ask...

[TracerX]

Don't forget that space travel has helped to validate Einstein's theories of relativity.  These theories impact directly our understanding of Gravity and Time.

Space travel has also made possible the Hubble space telescope, which has both answered and created more scientific questions than a lifetime of trips to the moon.

And on a lighter side, trips to the moon have been the basis for at least one really cool movie called Apollo 13.  No way Hollywood would have ever come up with a story that good!

I guess you can tell what apes are thinking by looking at footage of them.

I just can't believe some took my comments seriously

the two gems.... "I feel my opinions carry a little more weight than those from other countries. "
And:
"I am great by virtue of being an American and everyone else needs to aknowlege the respect we have earned."

What's not to love about those lines?

"Fair enough you put a man on the moon, wtg look how that has improved humanity. "

So, let's give him answers.

What say you all?

TANG you fools TANG!!!!

I don't care about the spinoffs, the fact of having a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth was worth just in itself. If you can think only in terms of money value, you are not a human being, but an accountant

[NUKE]

I think landing a man/men on the moon in 1969 is one of mankind's greatest moments. What an amazing event that was/is. Even by today's standards....34 years later it's an amazing acomplishment that would be hard to beat.

Plus, we had electric cars and a lot of other stuff on the moon, and we returned all the men safely to earth.

[NUKE]

If you really think about it, can you imagine another positive event in human history that stands out more than the moon landings?

Harldy 25 years after WWII ended, man was on the moon.

It should be an international holiday.

Sorry Furball, I thought you had bought into Nuke's nonsense and were using the space program to somehow demean him.  
But anyway, I learned how to post a link to thread!
