Orion is a new kind of craft (relatively), capable of housing twice as many crew as went to the moon previously, with many technological upgrades on previous craft including but not limited to having an auto-docking capability, brand new waste management system instead of having to "go" in bags like they did on Apollo, and the craft designed to be re-usable.
Presumably safety is a bigger issue now, too. Orion was designed to replace the Space Shuttle after the last one exploded. Apollo had its flaws on this point too. Personally, I'll forgive them for taking their time getting it right this time rather than sending craft that are hit-and-miss spaceworthy.
How about responding to the facts about the Van Allen belts. How did the first Apollo go through these. NASA says they have lost the technology that allowed them to leave the belts in the 60's & 70s but yet you still think it happened. That is almost laughable. We will just go with this. You support NASA, FUNNY. I myself am not that ignorant. I will go with what I see and what makes logical sense. Go check how many Apollo astronauts are still alive. Then look at how some of them died.
Grissom and the other two were killed because Gus didn't go along with the BS cover up He was going to blow the lid. So they killed him on the pad. You do understand that there is two pictures of the same area of the moon were the lander is in a way different position. We also know that it did not land, Take off, and then land again. Just this one fact alone seals the del for me. These are NASA's own pictures they released. You really should educate yourself on this issue. You obviously do not know too much about it.
You did notice that the Orion looks relatively the same as Apollo. They are still trying to figure out how to get it out of the belts. 50 years after they supposedly did it.
So what is your research into the distance to the moon, how did you calculate it? I’m interested in trying it with my kit
Dave H Im good on this question.......It is a educated assumption.
