vyelkin posted:this part kinda makes sense too because believe it or not the Soviets were the first ones to the moon, just not with humans on board. The first spacecraft to touch the moon were Soviet rockets that were basically just shot at it for funsies, so it makes sense that the Americans would be like "okay we're gonna do that too but we'll finish it off with a nuclear explosion so that everybody in the world sees that we totally did this thing that the Soviets already did" They also sent the fist Lunokhod to the Moon (where it operated for months) less than a year after Apollo 11, which always seemed more impressive.

the whole thing was a propaganda thing to cover icbm dev and americans are the best in the world for propaganda and have been for more than a century. who cares about actual facts basically everyone who has come to america came because of a pogrom or an advertisement. internal movements within america too. its the nationstate whose existence and continuance depends upon ads

bob dobbs is dead posted:the whole thing was a propaganda thing to cover icbm dev and americans are the best in the world for propaganda and have been for more than a century. who cares about actual facts Eh I think it's half that, but it definitely became its own thing that we did for its own reasons (propaganda reasons, but still distinct from ICBM's). Cuz stuff like cryogenic liquid propellants really did not help ICBM development beyond the very first generation, but we wound up sinking more time and effort into making the Biggest Goddamn Rocket Engine using those than any other technology. Not to mention H2/O2 engine development which was a hugely difficult task and had zero applicability to any kind of practical weapons system. poo poo like guidance and tracking computers though, yeah definitely.

Shame Boy posted:There wasn't really a stated goal until Kennedy said out loud "the moon seems p cool, maybe that? in like a decade or less? idk" tbf. Like we didn't go to the moon and then retroactively declare "okay that was the goal the entire time by the way". and if he didnt get assassinated, we might have given up part way thru because it was really expensive

Shame Boy posted:I mean admittedly, detonating a big ol' nuke on the moon does sound really fun, like a fireworks show everyone on earth gets to see, and it's the moon so who cares. Sure it'd ruin any chance we have of extracting further useful science from studying the moon, but like... big pretty fireball! Come on scientists, can't you let us ruin one measly heavenly body? You have so many! Zack Snyder faked the moon nuke.
