No, they did not use microwaves to blast debris from underneath the lunar landers.

So why post them when you guys are just going to jerk each other off about something else?

No, just blasting the lunar surface with microwaves for no good reason, lmao.

But would they get any traction in between all these fluff pieces about travel that won't happen?

50 years?

You're saying we could have landed on Mars in the 70s?

Uh, yeah of course. But while you're alive, they won't be running supply missions to Mars, no.

You mean it talking about blasting the lunar surface with microwaves?

Did we do that in the 60s when we landed?

I don't get why interplanetary travel takes up so much of this subs time when it's nowhere near attainable or sustainable in any of our lifetimes.

Edit: people,.give me an ETA when we can blast the moon with microwaves.

Then tell me how long that will take to apply that tech to Mars.

Then laugh at yourselves, lmao.
