no, we never went

Patcolo had a few reasons why

the main thing is that when the russians sent up chimps in the early stages, they all came home looking like they had spent a few days in the microwave oven (set on high)

the radiation up there is incredible.

the technology was not around then to permit us to safely travel there

and it begs the question, in all of man's "evolution", why have we never gone back?

I mean once you do something a few times, in theory it gets easier, more routine.

we supposedly went to the moon 12-13 times? and we never went back?

now the last I heard was we might be able to go back by 2025

Imagine you make a dozen trips to the south pole, its cold and grueling, very difficult, but you learn stuff, and get better each time.

then you stop going, and decide it will take 40+ years to ever go back again.....

and in the meantime, no one else around the planet is able to duplicate your effort, and make the journey, they all decide to wait 40 years also....

in looking at the moon mission, part of it I suspect came from the famous "war of the worlds" radio show in the 50's

TPTB realized how easily most Americans are duped.

once the TV got more widespread, they used that meme to their advantage...
