Yeah, it's more frail. Just look at the Abrams tank for example, a few starts and it practically needs to be rebuilt. Our tech is very problematic, very susceptible to the damaging whims of environmental conditions. That while the old tech still endures, such as voyager 1 having entered interstellar space and still operating.

We do things differently say compared to the Russians as an example, which their design tech is usually minimalist. So example their guns and their fighter jets continue to operate while ours break down and require maintenance. We have excellent performance statistics, but what good is that in space when it turns into space junk because there is no factory nearby to make replacement parts?

weak response but good effort imo. the moon landing merits have nothing to do with this.

was a cool tangent though

How so? Just in a short couple decades we can't even get ourselves into space any longer, we rely on Russia to help us up. And in a few decades your grandkids will be saying "bah! we never put men into orbit, it was all faked!". Some are already saying that.

The moon landing is simply old tech, but reliable compared to our tech today. It really doesn't take a lot to get into space, and flying gadgets are simply an anchor to such an accomplishment. We have become a disposable society in a sea of tech junk. We don't even care about quality and functionality any longer, but just get the latest communist made cellphone and throw it away after a year. We don't deserve to go to space any longer [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Space aint a handout.
It's not a govt social program.

Abrams tank is one of the best tanks made. Even Walter Sobchek understood that man. Don't start shitting on GE man. They'll find you.

Had to remind me of that, eh? /me drops a deuce on GE.
With companies like GE, who needs nuclear fallout? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It takes a lot to get into space. We haven't gone back to the moon becuase there's no need to unless we want to start launching from there.

You believed a lie. There is no way in 60 years we don't know how to create a better rocket attached to a plane. We have the tech to circle the globe in 2 hrs (10x faster than back then) yet mysteriously can't even fly a manned craft beyond earths upper orbit? Lies.

The problem is we can't go past the van allen belt, and never could. Nor could we likely communicate that far. Yet of course we managed to transmit in real time from the moon 200k miles away in 1960s yet I can't even get 1 bar in my house to a tower 3 miles away in 2016. B u l l s h i t.

I imagine you are following news on Orion,which hasn't launched yet. Hopefully, these issues of the Allen Belts will come to pass.

Either way:

Apollo was designed to pass through those belts, and had no problem with them, as James Van Allen stated at the time of Apollo. The Command Module was well shielded. It had to be to survive a punishing re-entry. Any new design has to keep the many factors he mentioned in mind. Orion may LOOK like Apollo, but there are important differences. More sophisticated electronics for one thing. In many ways, electronics are more sensitive to radiation than human beings are. Apollo was navigated primarily from the ground. At that time, computers were not yet miniaturized to have the primary navigation on board. They did have a primitive backup system in case communications were lost for a significant period of time.
