Aliens On The Moon? Why Have We Never Returned Back To The Moon?

[Henrietta]

There are many many videos and information on this theory and it really blow my mind it seems the more deeper I go the more I find and the more that compels me to keep digging.

I think that this the real "rabbit hole" and needs investigating/explaining.

Apparently there are many cover ups/lies and misinformation being spread by the main space body with 4 letters.

What are you thoughts on alien bases on the dark side of the moon/u.f.o's being sighted on/around the moon and various other things which point to the face that we are not alone and many on earth know the truth and do not want to share with us?

There is precisely no reason for a government to pretend that aliens don't exist and haven't visited us if in fact they have. It would be a monumental discovery well worth sharing. On those grounds alone it seems safe to regard these sorts of claim with some serious scepticism.

Jeza, how dare you infect a thread like this with reason and common sense! ;-)

[Henrietta]

jeffa maybe the main space agency doesn't share it's findings with other space agencies or doesn't believe the others can make it/Know that their plans will be thwarted somehow.

[jim360]

An important reason that the US didn't go back to the Moon is that the Apollo space program was very expensive and was no longer worth pursuing scientifically, either. Moreover they'd stuck a proverbial finger up at the Soviets for getting there first, so the political will for repeat visits waned. Indeed so did the public interest, I believe.

This smacks of a conspiracy theory borne of a need to believe in some kind -- any kind -- of conspiracy almost for the sake of it.

[Henrietta]

Jim conspiracy theories don't always come from thin air and sometimes have a "Spark" to fuel the resulting "Fire"

[jeffa]

Alternatively, the Russians could have made it to the moon around five years before the Americans, but they realised that there's no way they could have ever made it through the Van Allen belts, so didn't pretend that they had.

[jim360]

This is highly doubtful, since currently NASA is highly dependent upon Russian astronauts for even getting into space at all. Of course there is a certain amount of politics in Science -- various collaborations tend to keep their work a secret until it's ready to share -- but this doesn't last indefinitely and the whole aim of Scientists ultimately is to publish results and push the field on. (Alternatively there is political pressure not to share but then you'd have to swear tens of thousands of people to silence whilst relying upon other collaborations to do the same thing.)

It's just not realistic to imagine a conspiracy involving any more than, say, a handful of people, because there's always going to be at least one and usually multiple whistleblowers. Just ain't gonna happen.

[Henrietta]

Have any of you seen the film THE MATRIX? Where we're all in a computer simulation and neo's given the red pill/blue pill choice to make?

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

Maybe many of us are sick at having been force fed the blue pill and want to take the red pill to see the truth?

[jim360]

Sometimes there is a spark... more often it's the result of people pulling together flimsy strands of barely credible evidence to weave a story that's only convincing if you didn't previously know anything about the topic and falls apart once you really start to dig into it.

In this case there are plenty of far, far more convincing reasons that we stopped going to the Moon. Why invent a conspiracy to replace the simple and correct explanation?

[Henrietta]

Jim360 but what about the video evidence? Eyewitness accounts and big agencies sweeping these claims under the rug?

Watch the video and more when you have the time and then tell me what you think.

[jim360]

What about it? Video evidence is easily either a) faked or b) misinterpreted; and I've explained numerous times in the past on this site why I won't base my views on eyewitness evidence alone either. There is no reason to take this claim seriously. None.

[Henrietta]

Well respectfully you have your views set in stone and I have my eyes open and a free open mind.

I'm going to now and watch some more videos on this subject to see just how deep this rabbit hole goes.

[jeffa]

Think about it, though. Any aliens who possessed the technology to set up a camp on our moon would surely have not the slightest interest in doing so. We would seem so primitive and backward to them. For heaven's sake, we can't even travel faster than the speed of light!

[naomi24]

I set little store by such dramatisations. I haven’t watched the whole video – no time – but there have been accounts of sightings of lights, etc., on the moon. However, if we’re looking for evidence of the existence of alien life, we should look to the earth in the ancient past – not to the moon in the present.

[Henrietta]

What do you mean naomi24? Do you have any links or information you can share?
