Some amazing times we are moving into @fredrikaa. 2018 will be even better! Im not sure if you have heard of Naveen Jain and what he is doing with Moon Express. They are planning a launch this year and it is a very exciting and ambitious project that can potentially have a huge impact on humanity here on Earth.
"On July 20, 2016, Moon Express became the first company to receive U.S. government approval to send a robotic spacecraft beyond traditional Earth orbit and to the Moon. This was the first time in history that any government signatory to the Outer Space Treaty exercised its rights and obligations to formally authorize and supervise a commercial entity to fly a mission beyond Earth orbit. This historic ruling is a breakthrough U.S. policy decision supporting our commercial lunar exploration and discovery and heralding a new era of expanding space enterprise. " - Source: www.moonexpress.com
Yes I agree. It is a very interesting paradigm shift we're seeing where suddenly it is commercial interests that are pushing the Space Agencies for better and quicker access to space as they have so many different projects they would aim to carry out.
And I'm very familiar with Moon Express.The other co-founder Bob Richards who previously co-founded the International Space University where I went back in 2012. I had the pleasure of speaking with him then and have been following their progress closely as he is in my circle of connections here and there.
I had hoped that they would make it to the moon already last year with the Google Lunar Xprize. But it turned out that their launch provider Rocket Labs, although impressing with their first test launch were still overpromising how soon they would be able to provide a launch to the moon.
But I have my fingers crossed for them big time and would love to also contribute to their mission one day.
Great things yet unseen await us in 2018. Please I will love a link on this "Naveen Jain and what he is doing with Moon Express. " I want to know what the project is all about
He was on tai Lopex and he said to THINK BIG he wats to go to the moon with drones to get moonrocks polish them as diamonds to sel as BTETER than Diamonds! why give her diamonds when you an give her THE MOO such a cool marketing idea and fuck yeah moon rings would be WAY better than diamonds fuck yeah!
Thanks I appreciate. @thejohalfiles
Please I will love you to check out my post on the beauty of nature. I'm a photographer

@thejohalfiles
This guy is amazing. Watched another video of him while writing one of my post. These people can think insane. Beyond our imagination
@xtel here is a good video where he talks about Moon Express.

What's going to the Moon this year is Steem!!! fingerscrossed
The Moon is not 384k km away as we are told, so we might be able to visit it closer.
But Space Exploration is just a Sci-Fi movie and deception.
Finally something we can agree on ;)
Even amateur radio operators measure the distance to the moon all the time! If you found a local ham operator enthusiast with the setup, perhaps you could ask him to show you how to measure the distance to the moon that anyone can do themselves! It's really cool.

You can also measure the distance to the moon through parallax. Anyone can measure the distance to the moon. And we know it HAS to be very very far away because of the parallax. The moon's size would have to change drastically if it were close. But it doesn't. Parallax says it all.

Admittedly I've not researched the Moon's distance enough.
If the Moon is indeed so distant in Space, then noone will be exploring or visiting it.
Or will only be "visited" the way NASA did, which means through deception and CGI.
And is not just NASA faking it. All moon landings so far have been faked.
Commercial flights into Space will probably use VR screens (augmented windows) to fool passengers, and explains why it has taken so long (half a century!) for Commercial Space Exploration to even commence. They first needed this VR technology to be ready:
"Admittedly I've not researched the Moon's distance enough."
Or how we know the earth is round since we've known it's been round for over 2000 years with simple observations anyone can make, even without a telescope in most cases, although that helps with some of the thousands of observations on how we know it's a spheroid.
Whatever you believe about space, the earth is easily proven to be round, and easily proven NOT to be flat. Just as our ancestors have understood for thousands of years now, based on simple observations.
Please stop confusing the two things. REGARDLESS of whether space travel is fake or not, the earth is EASILY determined to be a sphere. I honestly have no idea how these two different issues have become so mixed up in the minds of people.
To say "NASA is lying, so the earth must be flat" is an argument from SHEER and utter ignorance of how we know the earth is a globe. We know it by thousands of easy and simple observations anyone can make, not because of NASA.
If you actually are a truth seeker, I suggest you join a local astronomy club, after they pick themselves up off the floor after laughing that you believe the earth is flat, any one of them will be able to SHOW YOU in hundreds of ways you can see for yourself that the earth is demonstrably a sphere.
How am I 1000000% sure there is no conspiracy to hide a flat earth? You can purchase basically any grade of telescope your heart desires. NASA can't hide the night sky, and the night sky tells us in thousands upon thousands of ways that the earth is round.
I am still waiting for a good explanation for why vertical buildings/structures cast their shadows at the exact angles you would predict, at different places around the world and at different times of the day, when assuming that the Earth is round and that the Sun circles around it.
@Lavater I suggest you google Eratosthenes, and then also read the different experiments done, not just by him, but by people in every part of the world.

I enjoy this conversation as long as it is open-minded and driven by a desire to know more, and not just hold onto existing beliefs.
Very interesting. I thought Tesla's company SpaceX was doing that also.
Are you also inclined in this field, because I am fascinated with the progress science is making, and I hope to be a big part of the revolution
Dear @thejohalfiles, why are you supporting this fraud??? Space is fake and earth is flat that is why on the 3th of january 2018, there was this fuckup by the NASA:
You can see the video on this post: https://steemit.com/steem/@lasseehlers/rewardpool-rape-by-fredrikaa-earth-is-flat
If you like the truth then you and the others upvoting @fredrikaa should be flagging him to hell... he is nothing but a fraud!!! There is an abundance of evidence of this in youtube videos... you can start with ODD.

This is hilarious! I wonder how you think your cell phone works.
The flat earthers are big proponents of magic. Thus, cell phones work by magic.
Ahh, well that explains everything. Now I no longer have to think critically. If something doesn't make sense to me I know it's just magic.
Yep. They claim to be the only 'critical thinkers' yet they use crayon logic and 'because god' and 'because I believe my eyes'.
transatlantic cables and short wave transmission. Why do you think satalite phones are notorious for not working in the mountains?
Because telecommunications satellites usually use a geostationary orbit, meaning an orbit where they will stay above the same point on the ground continuously as their orbit height makes their speed match the rotation speed of the Earth and so they stay fixated above the same point and may thus always connect to the same receiver on the ground. Because of that, they work poorly in the mountains where if a mountain intercepts the direct path between the satellite and the receiver, there will be no connectivity.
However, there are low earth constellations of communication satellites too such as those provided by Iridium. You can see their illustration below:
These satellites always have a direct link to one another, as there is nothing in space to break the direct link between the satellites closest to one another. With these, even if you're down in a valley, you can rely on having a link to at least one satellite at any given time (or at least within just a few minutes if the valley is really narrow). With their phones, which are used by mountain search and rescue organisations for instance, will have connectivity where your mobile phone does not. You can even buy their phones here and try it out yourself if you want to run an expensive experiment...
earth is flat. There are no satalites. Any other information is false. We cannit get passed the van allen radiation belt. The earth plane is flat. Use your common sense. Dont believe the globe retards
You are not providing any arguments, just asserting your beliefs. I am not believing the Earth is round because someone told me, but because I (and many others) can and have carried out our own experiments that proves it.
I currently work at the European Space Agency and have been involved in the space sector now for almost 6 years. I have been part of more satellite and ISS cargo launches than I can count. Every time, you I can watch the launch, see the trajectory and direction, observe the speed of the launch vehicle and its geo position, and observe how it connects to different ground stations around the world as it travels. You see, we have different ground stations scattered from close to the North pole at Svalbard, down to the south pole as well as all along the equator in order to have a continuous link with the launch vehicles during launch and the deployed satellites. I can then see how the signal is received at one ground stations as the vehicle gets within a certain range of it, and how it then later disappears after it has passed by, only to reappear after it has travelled the distance equivalent to an orbit. You can even do the math once you know both the altitude of the vehicle, and the distance at which it received a link with a given ground station, to calculate the curvature. This is undeniable proof of a round earth. How else could you fire a rocket in one direction and have it reappear over your head? How else would you explain why we need ground stations all around the world, and how they receive signals from a launched vehicle in the exact order, and at the exact times, you would predict based on assuming that the Earth is round and has a diameter and curvature that our models suggest? You can’t.
I can only suggest that you spend more time reading and educating yourself and less time watching conspiracy theories on YouTube. You’re far too young to let a bunch of jobless losers without a job in some poorly crafter YouTube videos influence your thinking to such an extreme extent.
I am not scientist by trade or education but would love to understand the "Numbers" more throughly.
I am a syncretist by belief and every single religion and spiritual belief system asserts that the earth is flat plane and we live within a concentric solar system where everything is unto and within itself. This fact has been proven to the best of my knowledge by benoit mandlebrot and his work with fractal geometry in nature. Look, I cannot disproove anything you said, All I can say is I do Not Trust a Single Governmental Space Agency because they are notorious for lying and deceiving. Why is it that so many conspiracy surround the moon landing? Why are flight times from NZ- South America Always directed to fly to the Northern Hemisphere first? Why is it that The Suez Canal was Never built to account for curvature of the earth? You have to ask yourself these questions! There is so much false information out there currently to make flat earthers sound like a crowd of crazy people, but at the surface, it does sound crazy but it goes far deeper into Spiritual Science and the True Nature of our Reality.By Combining both Scientific and Spiritual Truth you can deduce an Ultimate truth that cannot be denied.
For what its worth, I think some courses in geometry and physics would be to your benefit.
Here is a link to a Khanacademy physics course.
