Why did we lose the ability to go to the moon?
The answer is that they are complex devices. A launch vehicle and spacecraft destined to go to the moon is much more complex and operates at the edge of the envelope where there is little tolerance for imprecision and error. The vehicle cannot be built or operated without that expertise.
Why did NASA crash a spacecraft into the moon?
Several rocket stages utilized during the Apollo space program were deliberately crashed on the Moon to aid seismic research, and four of the ascent stages of Apollo Lunar Modules were deliberately crashed onto the Moon after they had fulfilled their primary mission.
Do we have the technology to get to the moon?
The space race of the 1960s was a time when taking chances was the norm — chances that would never be taken today. The last 45 years have been spent building space shuttles and the International Space Station, which is why we don’t have the technology to take people back to the moon.
Can the moon crash into Earth?
Long answer: The Moon is in a stable orbit around Earth. There is no chance that it could just change its orbit and crash into Earth without something else really massive coming along and changing the situation. The Moon is actually moving away from Earth at the rate of a few centimetres per year.
Did NASA hit the moon with a rocket?
Although the robotic spacecraft was destroyed when it hit the moon, the second stage of the Atlas-Centaur rocket that carried it to space had been jettisoned a few minutes after launch.
How long did it take Neil Armstrong to go to the moon?

Are there any dead bodies in space?
A cabin vent valve construction defect caused it to open at service module separation. The recovery team found the crew dead. These three are (as of 2021) the only human fatalities in space (above 100 kilometers (330,000 ft)).
Did China go to the moon?

What if Moon hit Earth?
Once the Moon began it’s trajectory towards the planet, it would increase the tidal impact it has on us. By the time it hit the Roche limit, it would be causing tides as high as 7,600 meters (30,000 feet). Our world would be devastated by an army of tsunamis – ten times a day.
Will the moon disappear?
In about 50 billion years, the Moon will stop moving away from us and settle into a nice, stable orbit. So the Earth and Moon will be obliterated long before they achieve stability…and the human race will probably be extinct. But we all may be churning together beneath the searing surface of our Sun, together at last.
Why can’t we go back to the Moon?
NASA: We’re No Longer Able To Visit The Moon. According to NASA astronaut Don Pettit, the American space agency don’t have the resources to rebuild the painfully time-consuming technology it would require to send astronauts back up to the moon.
Does NASA still have the technology to send humans to the Moon?
NASA has admitted that they no longer have the technology to send humans to the moon, claiming that it was “destroyed years ago.”.
How does a launch vehicle go to the Moon?
A launch vehicle and spacecraft destined to go to the moon is much more complex and operates at the edge of the envelope where there is little tolerance for imprecision and error. When operating on the edge of the envelope, thousands and thousands of hours go into testing and tweaking.
Can other countries help make Moon landings possible again?
Speaking at the Space for Innovation conference at London’s Science Museum, Pettit says he hopes that other countries will collaborate and help to make moon landings possible again. “ International collaboration I believe is essential for space exploration it provides robustness to the technology of exploration ,” he said.
