Why did it take 3 days to reach 220 miles when it took 3 days to reach 300,000?????
220 miles? They didn't go straight up, that's not how orbiting works. They circle around the earth, how much distance did they travel circling?
Then after they get to the same spot at the same speed they move very slowly so they don't crash and die, like how a helicopter lowers itself very slowly.
EXACTLY!! There's no reason to do it.
No reason anymore. It was a race, they lost. We haven't gone back, either.
Why did Columbus sail the Ocean blue...when it was extremely expensive and profits weren't guaranteed?
He took a gamble and won. Going to the moon is guaranteed zero dollars back.
Why did China go to the moon? Why did India? Why did Israel???
With unmanned probes. Do probes count as "going to the moon"? If so, the Soviet Union did gonto the moon, so you can stop worrying about that.

That shuttle flight was 2011. Things got faster over time. Earlier Soyuz missions took longer.
Why would they? It's extremely expensive and they would get nothing for it.

EXACTLY!! And in 1969 it took THREE DAYS to get to the moon!!!! Why did it take 3 days to reach 220 miles when it took 3 days to reach 300,000?????
You realize it's a dumb question, why would the American's go to the moon in 1969??
EXACTLY!! There's no reason to do it.
Oh wait.. National pride.
Why did Columbus sail the Ocean blue...when it was extremely expensive and profits weren't guaranteed?
Why did China go to the moon? Why did India? Why did Israel???
All dumb questions.
For Pride as propaganda.
Clearly nobody has gone to the moon because it's fake. And you have no rebutal other than asking more questions that i've expertly answered.
It's fake
