India’s moon landing.

[Colin C No.3]

India have successfully landed an unmanned craft on the moon.

They now join a very ‘exclusive club’ who have landed craft on the moon, the US, China & the former Soviet Union.

Last year the British government sent £33.4 million in aid to India. In year 2024/25 that figure will be increased by 70% to £57 million.

It begs the question why?

If it’s to support a population in poverty I would respectfully suggest that the Indian government might spend less on its space programs (it is currently intending to send three men into space) & more on its people.

The £57 million earmarked for them might then be best used on the British people who are currently homeless & sleeping rough.

Charity surely starts at home.

Goodness gracious me

Shocking! That's the exact amount Sunak has avoided paying in tax over the last 5 years. Maybe just tax him and everyone's happy.

Thinking about space technology, back in 1969 the USA were successful enough to put men on the moon and get them back safely.
These last few years various companies and countries have been spending millions with the aim on getting astronauts back there again but without success.
Why can’t they just use the same technology that was used in 1969.

Yes I recall reading an article in The Observer circa 1974, we were on the cusp of inventing the Fusion Engine they predicted we would be on Mars by 1985 and on one of Jupiters Moons by 2000.
The David Adair interview is very interesting he was a key inventor of the Saturn 5Rocket!

We were giving them £4 billion a year prior to them announcing that they weren’t buying the Tornado fighter but buying the French Rafael, one day later Cameron was slating them and pulled the funding, so basically we were funding their Airforce!
This bring in to question the 70 billion euros being given to Poland, bearing in mind that they have just bought 1500 Main Battle Tanks and 159 fighter Hets off the shelf from South Korea.

Maybe they should ask Blue Peter for some gold foil and pipe insulation.

because all the blueprints and computer discs and hard drives were binned and copied over? It's almost as if they didn't want future generations to look at their evidence and go WTF, more chance of rovers winning the champions League than this pile of shite landing on the moon.. lol

I was both shocked and impressed seeing the spacecraft in the Washington museum. Couldn't believe how flimsy they were to achieve what they did. I can see why some suspect they only managed to make it to some film studio.

I was very impressed by Nixons phone call to the moon.
When my missus rings me on her way home from work the signal drops out when she's only 12 miles away.
Extraordinary.

I am as far away from being a conspiracy theoriest as is possible, but jeez, the more you look into the moon landing, it's the biggest pile of poo every going..  the main ship has the computing power of a pocket calculator, and the hatch literally was baking foil lol,  when you see the trouble musk has had with space x, with unlimited money and all the computing power needed.  It was a race to beat the Russians, simple as, and boy were they gonna plant that flag first!!!  No matter how it was achieved.. it was the erasing of the computer tapes that did it for me cos they needed them for something else lol, just wow!!!#hidingTheEvidence

Christ has it come to this one now?

Next week, JFK and 9/11.

I saw Naomi Wolf on Twitter yesterday saying "Have you noticed how you don't see as many pregnant women since The Vaccine?"

They are all on the moon obviously

I’m certain that the Russians would have jumped straight onto it if the radio messages weren’t coming to NASA from the moon.

This site really does need a tongue in cheek emoji.
Some people really get angry over the daftest things.
(Not you Nudga).

Some smelly old farts just can't wait to jump in on certain posters.
Maybe Elons rockets are fuelled by sense of humour and he's bought it all from this site.
It used to be a laugh on here.

[Colemans Left Hook]

i just worked out why India has a moon landing programme
and claim my £5

and what they are trying to work out   an udder way perhaps to traavel by cow next time ?

It still is a laugh Nudga, don't despair.

It just depends whose posts you read.

For conspiracy theories to be true, it needs hundreds, and sometimes thousands of professional people to be complicit in lies and cover-ups for many years.

They're based on nothing but convenient and lazy thinking.

 we went, but we were told not to
To go back is an interesting theory.

Strange, India got their vehicle landed correctly, Russia vehicle crashed, Japanese vehicle crashed, independent Yank vehicle landed on its side!
