What are all these "religious" jibes about.?

I am not religious and I can't think of any more than about 4 posters who may be.

You seem to think we must all be religious because we "believe" the earth is not flat and all the space travel is real. 

Your attendance for a start!

How do you think life started on earth?

The simple answer is because Apollo met its geopolitical goal of demonstrating superiority over the USSR.  Once this was done, the (political) need for a moon program was over.

However, this was at a significant financal cost, and also human cost, not least in the deaths of the crew of Apollo 1, other US astronauts that died in T38 flights (at least 3 in the 1960s) and a number of Russian cosmonauts.  The death toll could have been much higher as the margin for success with Apollo was extremely thin - as evidenced by the fact that it would probably take a crash program 10 years (with lorryloads of cash) from now to get boots on the moon again.

For more background on this, may I suggest Decision to Go to the Moon: Apollo Project and the National Interest by Dr. John M. Logsdon which is the reference publication for this topic.

More to it than that bob x

There is more in the book I've suggested to you above, but my synopsis above is accurate, although simplified.

If you're interested, there's quite a body of information out there about the post-Apollo plans (The Apollo Applications Program), including one mission proposal for a manned Venus flyby.

What would be worse, I hear you ask.  Living in an Apollo Command Module for 13 months, pooping into bags stuck to your arse cheeks (not constantly, of course) for the chance of seeing Venus close up for one orbit.

 

Or re-reading all 295 pages of this guff. :weee:

Neil lets just bring you back down to earth for a second.

You believe theories that men wrote in books, that you yourself did not come up with, nor do you comprehend.

Thats your world view.

Sounds really similar to people who belive stories written in books to get their world view, doesn't it!

And chinahand simply cannot demonstrate the spinning globe on a working model. Coz he hasnt got one for his world view
