Is it true they were warned not to go back to the moon?

Update:

This has been repeated a number of times over the web. That is, when the astronauts landed on the moon, they allegedly saw alien spacecraft waiting for them. Some astronauts also alleged they were warned off by aliens.

Update 2:

Is it true they were warned off? Is that the reason why there were no more newer missions to the moon after Apollo 17? After all, it has been about 50 yeqrs since the last mission. If they had wanted to continue, they could have set up an outpost on the moon by now. Yet, they didn't.

Was it true? They were wared off by aliens?

    NIO, it is NOT true. the Llast AMMNED mission was in december 1972, but there have been PLENTY of UNMANNED mssions to the Moon since 1972, including the Lunar Reconnassance Orbiter satellite that has been eobiting the Moon since 2009 and the Clementine satellitie that mapped th moon's mineraology in the 1980s.. The reasons that the A\Apollo missions 2, 18 and 19 were cncelled IN THAT ORDER by Presdent Nixon AND naSA was the VIETNAM WAR WAS EXCALATING AND a second reason was solar activity was ALSO escalating. Apollo 16 took off more than 2 hours earlier than originally planned because of an approaching solar flare. Yes, the The astronauts WERE protected from from the solar flare by the capsule.. There was another even stronger solar fare AFTER the Apollo 17 astrnauts were back on earth. The civilain leaders of NASA decided that even though ALL THREE apollo missions were ON THE LAUNCH SCHEDULE and HAD been funded by Congress,, since their had been SIX manned moon ( Apollo 13 did NOT land), That the risk to the astronauts lives as well as the miltary sitation ON EARTH (do google search on the domino theory of communism) decided to advice the vice president, who is the politcal CEO of of NASA to recommend to the president to cancel Apollo misission 18 and 19, aNoxon had cancelled Apollo 2o 20 in August.. Congress re-directed the money to the defense department.

    The astronauts WERE NOT WARNED not kecome back, what about all the UNMANNED msssions to the Moon since 1972, including when the nuked the Moon in october 2009?.

    WHY do you believe this nonsense. is it just because this happened before you were born, or is there some OTHER reason you believe this urban myth is really true. There were NO extraterrestrial

    son the Moon to greet the astronauts, There are NO secret Nazi bases on the Moon.There have been MANY UNMANNED missions to the Moon since 1972.

    "...The Lunar Prospector Spacecraft.

    Mission Overviewarrow

    Lunar Prospector was one of the NASA Discovery Program missions. It was designed to perform a low polar orbit investigation of the Moon. This included mapping the surface composition and locating lunar resources, measuring magnetic and gravity fields, and studying outgassing events. The data from this mission, which carried only scientific instruments, complemented the image data from the Clementine mission, which carried mostly cameras. The information gathered will improve the understanding of the origin, evolution, and current state of the Moon. The mission was launched January 6, 1998, from Cape Canaveral using a Lockheed Martin LMLV2 rocket.

    The Lunar Prospector Spacecraft.

    Prospector Instruments arrow

    The mission carried a complement of five instruments to map the lunar surface. The instruments were all designed to collect scientific data; there were no cameras. One additional experiment, the Doppler Gravity Experiment, used the spacecraft itself as an instrument. Brief descriptions of the instruments and the gravity experiment are provided below...."

    "...Clementine Mission

    Artist Concept: ClementineImage right: Artist's concept of the Clementine spacecraft. Click image to enlarge Credit: NASA Clementine was a joint project between the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization and NASA. The objective of the mission was to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure to the space environment and to make scientific observations of the Moon and the near-Earth asteroid 1620 Geographos. The observations included imaging at various wavelengths including ultraviolet and infrared, laser ranging altimetry, and charged particle measurements. These observations were originally for the purposes of assessing the surface mineralogy of the Moon and Geographos, obtaining lunar altimetry from 60N to 60S latitude, and determining the size, shape, rotational characteristics, surface properties, and cratering statistics of Geographos.

    Clementine was launched on 25 January 1994 at 16:34 UTC (12:34 PM EDT) from Vandenberg AFB aboard a Titan IIG rocket. After two Earth flybys, lunar insertion was achieved on February 21. Lunar mapping took place over approximately two months, in two parts. The first part consisted of a 5 hour elliptical polar orbit with a perilune of about 400 km at 28 degrees S latitude. After one month of mapping the orbit was rotated to a perilune of 29 degrees N latitude, where it remained for one more month. This allowed global imaging as well as altimetry coverage from 60 degrees S to 60 degrees N.

    After leaving lunar orbit, a malfunction in one of the on-board computers on May 7 at 14:39 UTC (9:39 AM EST) caused a thruster to fire until it had used up all of its fuel, leaving the spacecraft spinning at about 80 RPM with no spin control. This made the planned continuation of the mission, a flyby of the near-Earth asteroid Geographos, impossible. The spacecraft remained in geocentric orbit and continued testing the spacecraft components until the end of mission.

    FUTURE misions , INLCUDING lunar ones.

    http://www.iflscience.com/space/heres-a-list-of-ev... Are you going to be shocked and NOT believe when the Space Launch System GOES AROUND THE MOON IN 2018 and . The next generation of rockets has been in production since middle of September 2011../. yet you believe the astronauts were warned to stay away from the moon. Do ever wonder WHY people your grandparents age who were teenagers during the Apollo missions think you and people like you ignorant u INFANTS.WE fought the Vietnam war and many of us DIED because of it.

    Sorry I don't believe in BS, Why the Moon , why not Mars ? or for that matter any other object in the solar system?

    We have been to the moon have probes circling it ( no they do not get much news coverage) . It is a known quantity and does not harbour life, life is what we are looking for. It's been a long time since we went to Venus but them we don't believe that anything can live at 500 C in acid rain nor in the case of the moon basic vacuum.

    Resources are low, you have to put the money into things which will give the most advantage , the moon at the moment is not one of those places. Give NASA an unlimited budget and we would have a Moon Base by now.

    No, most certainly not! ETs have never been in our Solar system!

    How many times have you travelled to the other side of the world maybe the cost is too high for nothing....

  • 3 years ago

    Possibly by the public thinking it was a waste of money but no, who would do that? It wouldn't be aliens.

  • 3 years ago

    Nope... there was no warning. There was only a program cancellation announcment from Congress.

    No bucks... no Buck Rogers.

    Please stay away from YouTube. The amount of absolute stupidity on YouTube is astounding. Just today I saw a clip claiming the Moon was an abandoned Alien spaceship like the Death Star, waiting for the opportunity to restart and zap the Earth.

    YouTube ought to have a disclaimer: not responsible for fooling the gullible.
