Unpopular take: the Soviet Shuttle was objectively better engineered than the American one. -Full autopilot (flew perfectly with no crew in 1988) -No dangerous solid boosters mounted on the side -Energia could launch 30 tons WITHOUT the orbiter -Superior hexagonal tiles that didn’t fall off NASA’s Shuttle killed 14...

I want to believe, but there's too much evidence that not only tells me but shows me that they lied. I feel like low Earth orbit is as far as we can go... 1. The van Allen radiation belt. 2. The disgusted, unexciting, ashamed post moon landing conference with the three astronauts. Their body language, mannerisms, and answers scream that they're lying. 3. The lack of noise of the jet engines in the "videos." 4. How did they get the lunar rover on the spaceship? 5. No craters or dust underneath the spaceship. 6. How did the film the spaceship take off perfectly if nobody was left on the moon to operate the camera, and how was it so perfect if there was a delay? 7. The rockets and the spaceship look like a model. 8. The video of them saying that they are 130,000 miles away from Earth when all they really did was cover up the windows when they are in low earth orbit and film a small portion of Earth from low Earth orbit to simulate that they were far away, but then you find out that they're only in low Earth orbit when they uncover the windows. (Shown in the video below) 9. How we have to redesign the space suits to be able to handle the atmosphere on the moon. 10. The lack of talk and missions to the moon ever since. 11. The numerous blacked out photos from NASA. 12. How an older smartphone has way more technology than the entire spaceship back in 1969, and how we were able to even communicate with them in the spaceship as the one astronaut who passed away before the moon launch specified that they had trouble communicating between buildings and the shuttle on the ground. 13. Not one single astronaut would put their hand on the Bible and say they went to the moon. Why? 14. All the CGI and bubbles caught on NASA videos. 15. All the green screen captures and astronauts on wires in the "shuttle" and on the "ISS." There are so many bloopers and outtakes of astronauts and shuttle hatches malfunctioning, people appearing in the background of videos of the shuttle, people fading in and out, I could go on forever... How would you convince me against the evidence or prove me wrong from the arguments that I have provided?

The Space Shuttle’s R-bar Pitch Maneuver (RPM), dramatically nicknamed the "backflip", was one of the most visually striking and critically important procedures in the post-Columbia era of shuttle missions.Introduced as a direct response to the tragic STS-107 Columbia disaster in 2003—where launch debris fatally damaged the orbiter's heat shield—this 360° pitch rotation became a mandatory safety step before every docking with the International Space Station (ISS).As the shuttle approached along the R-bar (the radial vector from Earth's center through the ISS, essentially flying "below" the station), it paused at roughly 600 feet (about 180–183 meters) separation. Then, with the commander at the controls, the orbiter executed a slow, controlled end-over-end roll at approximately 0.75 degrees per second. The full 360° maneuver typically lasted 8–9 minutes, exposing the shuttle's vulnerable underside—its thermal protection system (TPS) of thousands of heat-resistant tiles—to the ISS crew's high-resolution cameras (often equipped with 400mm and 800mm telephoto lenses).ISS astronauts, positioned at windows in modules like Zvezda or Destiny, snapped hundreds of detailed photos during the ~90-second optimal belly-up window. These images were immediately downlinked to Mission Control for rapid analysis by engineers on the ground, hunting for any signs of tile damage, missing pieces, or debris impacts that could jeopardize re-entry. Combined with inspections from the shuttle's own Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS), the RPM provided unprecedented assurance that the vehicle could safely return home.This choreographed ballet—requiring pinpoint piloting, precise attitude control via Reaction Control System thrusters, and flawless coordination between shuttle and station crews—turned a routine rendezvous into a high-stakes safety ritual. Performed flawlessly on missions from STS-114 (Discovery, 2005, first RPM under Eileen Collins) through the program's end in 2011, it exemplified NASA's commitment to "return to flight" lessons NASA (Iconic views from the ISS during RPM: the shuttle's heat shield tiles fully exposed against Earth's backdrop, revealing the intricate mosaic of the TPS in stunning detail.)
