A rail system would make sense although I would be interested to read why they want to use a maglev. If you could kindly link the original article that would be appreciated.
The link was the light blue title in the post you quoted.

You can't have else you would see that Apollo 11 was staged.
Of course it was staged.

Stage 1 and stage 2 were needed to get into orbit, then stage 3 was needed to get from earth orbit to lunar orbit. The return required much less as the earth's gravity did most of the work.

Same ol story​

Japanese billionaire's '$80 million' flight around the moon with eight other civilians aboard a SpaceX rocket is CANCELLED after too many delays

The 'dearMoon' mission - which was set to transport nine civilians around the moon on SpaceX 's Starship - has been cancelled after too many delays. Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa who conceived and financed the mission said he made the 'difficult decision' as it is still 'uncertain as to when Starship can launch'. Mr Maezawa reportedly paid SpaceX $80 million (£60 million) for the trip back in 2018, but it's unclear how much he will get refunded.

A billionaire has cancelled a trip to the moon because of delays and finances, and you are quoting it as some sort of proof that a moon landing is impossible?

You not reading and understanding IS the same old story.

Just a little reminder on how they lie.

There are many types of writing in the Bible too - prophecy, poetry, allegory, parables, proverbs, history, pastoral letters and apocalyptic writings. We need to understand the type of writing that is being used - and it is not all literal.

It maybe but this doesn't mean that the Bible is not all true.

You are the only one who says that they lie; without any evidence at all.
I'm sure that some of those who work, and have worked, at NASA are/have been Christians. So you are condemning, and bearing false witness against, your own brothers and sisters in Christ.

No not at all, all employees of NASA have always worked on a need to know basis.

How do you know?

Seriously.
Do you know people who work at NASA?
Have you been to the space station?
Have you talked with, or interviewed, anyone?
Have you asked them - and those in charge - about their, so called, lies?

Somehow, I very much doubt it.
I think you're just repeating things that you have heard other conspiracy theorists/flat earthers saying - without any understanding, evidence or willingness to check the truth of these claims.

I never said otherwise.
Read what I said - many factual events have been expressed in poetry. But it doesn't mean that the words of that poem are literal.

We see this all the time; how many people talk about fluffy clouds? ARE they fluffy? Has anyone touched them and found them to be like cotton wool?
Some have written about "candy floss clouds". Candy floss is not fluffy, it is sticky.
Most people would realise that those writers are talking about the appearance of clouds, not their texture and physical qualities. Yet try to apply that same kind of discernment to the Bible and you get accusations of "not believing God's word."
It's ridiculous.

Employees at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration whose jobs require them to access sensitive information must pass a background check and receive a security clearance before they can start the job. Some jobs at NASA involve access to much more sensitive information than others, so there are different levels of security clearance depending on the position.

But your not believing in his every word are you.

Do you or do you not believe Genesis 1 ?

So?

What's that got to do with them being liars?

Of course I do.
Why would you say otherwise?

Because many on here have said otherwise, that Genesis 1 was written when people didn't understand the cosmology of today.

Well that was a humiliating mistake on my part considering I am a systems programmer by trade. But it is good to be humbled on occasion, for this enables wisdom.

There is nothing sinister about this. Some NASA employees work with the USAF, for example at Dryden Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, which I visited once…amazing, but hot! Even for the desert. But Edwards is a paradise for test pilots, since the entire lakebed can be used as a runway, so aircraft can take off into the wind regardless of direction (although it also has a rather long paved runway that was used by the shuttle). Groom Lake (Area 51) and China Lake Naval Air Station are similar, indeed, Groom Lake is like a mirror image of Edwards, which was very useful when developing the U2 and A12/SR-71 (both of which NASA had flown). Also some NASA employees have safety critical tasks like base security and so on. Although the very important job of the Range Safety Officer who had the power to activate the Flight Termination System on the Space Shuttle, which would destroy the vehicles if they went out of control, was a USAF officer and not a NASA civilian.

As it happens this was done once, in the immediate aftermath of the fatal launch of Challenger in 1986: after the external fuel tank exploded and the SRBs were flying freely, they had to be destroyed using the FTS perchance they crash into South Florida.

Lest anyone should say the FTS caused the Challenger accident, this is not true, since the FTS would destroy all vehicles simultaneously and not leave the SRBs flying around willy-nilly.

It was rather a terrible tragedy due to gross incompetence, since the O-rings that bound the field joints in the SRB could fail in cold temperatures, a problem O-rings normally have, which resulted in a plume of hot exhaust gas escaping the SRB ahead of the nozzle and unfortunately hitting the external fuel tank, and burning through and igniting it. The external fuel tank when filled with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen was potentially a bomb, and that is what blew up in that tragic event.

The instrument unit had the awesome IBM-built computers that controlled the Saturn V rocket during launch, which are separate from the equally awesome Apollo Guidance Computers which were used for navigation to the moon on the CM, and in the LM on descent to the surface.

By the way my friend, are you, like me, an aerospace enthusiast?
