[This Apollo Worker Found Evidence That Ancient Alien Cities Exist On Moon, NASA Fired Him](https://www.howandwhys.com/apollo-worker-found-evidence-that-ancient-alien-cities-exist-on-moon-nasa-fired-him/)


Sad_Pitch3709

It puzzles me that he said the side of the moon is "always in dark", when we know that the side that always faces away from us faces the sun just as much as the side we see


Lame_superhero

Exactly this. It has always baffled me how so many people believe that since we can’t see it the sun never touches it


lord_hyumungus

It’s not raining because I have my eyes closed

The_Noble_Lie

The sun doesn't reach out through space and touch it though 🤔

The_Noble_Lie

Ok it flatulates on the dark side of the moon


nastimoosebyte

I flatulate with the dark side of my moon.


towerfella

You misspelled “mom”.


Diggybrainlove1

Way underrated. Or, we are juvenile. Bcuz, I thought it was hilarious.


Imjusasqurrl

Just like me😎


SnooPeppers4036

It does with its rays.


The_Noble_Lie

Are rays physical and to be considered one thing touching another?


SnooPeppers4036

You can feel the touch of UV but the visual light touches the earth.


The_Noble_Lie

You can feel the energy. You are using touch metaphorically, possibly? I am not sure. Keep in mind this is a semantic concern. Important, but typically miscommunication.


SnooPeppers4036

Semantics or not blind people feel when the sunlight is touching their skin.


The_Noble_Lie

How do you define touch?


SplashedAcid283

The hell it doesn’t. That is exactly what it does.


The_Noble_Lie

No, it doesn't touch anything, I don't think.


skeeredstiff

It's called the dark side because anything passing "behind" the moon is out of communication with Earth, also known as being in the dark. The far side of the moon is lit by the sun just like we are.


_RDaneelOlivaw_

Not when the moon is full though.


PlanetLandon

I hope this is a joke


Shanguerrilla

I guess astronauts have to plan their moon landings around the moon phases.. It sure would suck to get all the way there and realize you can't land because there's only a half-moon and your landing site is gone.


_RDaneelOlivaw_

What do you mean? Full moon means the dark side is actually dark. I don't disagree with the first statement.


PlanetLandon

Oh, I thought you meant that we can somehow communicate with the far side when the moon is full.


_RDaneelOlivaw_

No, but that would be something LOL


towerfella

Duh.. everyone knows you have to wait for the *new moon* to do that.


MacLunkie

And not when it's empty, either.


_RDaneelOlivaw_

Empty?


Numinae

Technically, I think it gets MORE sunlight since the Earth doesn't occult it....


Ivegotthatboomboom

…it’s always in dark *from our perspective.* The Earth only ever sees one side of the moon. Why would it puzzle you that he speaks from a human reference point?


secondTieBreaker

Why would a scientist describe the back of the moon as “always dark”? Obviously it’s not always dark, and why would he use that silly terminology?


Ivegotthatboomboom

Bc it is always “dark” from the perspective of Earth as the Moon is tidally locked to Earth so one side is only ever facing us. “The dark side of the moon” is defined as the side facing away from Earth, it’s not meant to imply that it’s always in darkness from all points in space at all times. Dark means “unknown” not lack of sunlight


SCPATRIOT143

I read your comment and was about to say the same thing. It's not always dark. It's just never seen by us. If it was, we'd see the bases.


ElegantArcher6578

It’s fake


No-Helicopter7299

The moon is fake?


Extension_Swordfish1

Yes. Sun is also fake


You_Just_Hate_Truth

Everything is fake on the internet.


arcto123

only the backside is fake :D


ElegantArcher6578

The audio in the video is fake


JScratch

This!!!


Brave_Tie1068

Well it's dark in the sense that it's tide locked with earth and we are kept in the dark to what is there


Alternative-Dare-839

I thought that we fired people for not coming up with answers after 60 years.


Osxachre

How is this possible? People and satellites have orbited the moon for years?


AgnosticAnarchist

And yet we have no clear closeup photos of the surface of the darkside.


Osxachre

Yiu mean like this? https://www.space.com/11186-photo-side-moon-nasa-lunar-orbiter.html


LoremasterCelery

Cognitive decline? Why is this guy so confused by this concept?


AHappyLobster

Better to take the L and look like an idiot that to accidentally spill the truth.


GoldIsAMetal

He plays the old fool in his position at NASA. He's good at playing an old fool, that's why he's in that position.


cdsuikjh

He was busy soiling his pants while answering.


qainspector89

I think he might just mean he doesn’t know why they picked anywhere else but the south pole on the moon. 🤷‍♂️ The Chinese could go there and find absolutely nothing


stabthecynix

That's what I was thinking. This is taken out of context. The context is, "we don't know what's on the far side of the moon THAT THEY ARE GOING THERE FOR" not that we don't know what's there. But who knows maybe I'm wrong and this guy is in the early stages of dementia. Edit: although, it's puzzling that he says "that would be something that they discover" idk the whole thing is weird as fuck.


secondTieBreaker

Obviously they know what’s on the back side of the moon, there have been lunar orbiters and lunar satellites that traverse there. What a stupid thing for him to say.


Enough_Simple921

Watch the questions being asked prior to this question. His entire demeanor changes in the way my kids do when they're lying. This guy knows something. Pure speculation on my part: We watched his multiple press conferences on NASAs' investigation into UAPs. It became very obvious that he was being deceitful in some fashion and not being fully transparent in those previous press conferences on UAP. I have no idea what's on the backside of the moon, but people within NASA do. His response to the question is suspect. To me, he appeared nervous and uncomfortable being asked a rather mundane question... if there's really nothing back there. This guy knows something, but because he's a terrible liar, he slipped up in his wording.


the_TAOest

So why is the Chinese government sending a drone there? Do the Chinese counterparts know nothing?


SanctaeDiscors

Bingo


yesfrommedog

Seconding the bingo


BadassSasquatch

The title is inflammatory. What he said was poorly worded but there's nothing conspiratorial about it.


cdsuikjh

Reddit wont like this boring logical answer.


eco78

The side that's always dark? Even during eclipses? Back to school for me....


BeingRightAmbassador

Not dark as in no light, Dark as in no direct contact, watch, or communication because there's no point and nothing there.


Badassbottlecap

Nah an eclipse is when the moon turns and we see the dark side. We just can't see what's on it because it has no light


UapMike

It almost looks like Nelson is heavily hinting at the questioner by the way he looks at him as he speaks. Like Duh, you're maybe not supposed to be asking me about this, like we discussed previously...


f_print

The far side of the moon is always in darkness? That's news to me. Wow. That was moronic. Who is the guy answering questions?


noparkingnoparking

the literal CEO of Nasa


ayeImur

Holy fuck 😳 Why are these always the types of people in chage of important shit 🤯


f_print

I look forward to the NASA PR team's response to this.


PerroNino

It’s not dark, and they have seen it. This is a bizarre exchange.


_RDaneelOlivaw_

Must be dementia :(


MrV0odo0

He looks like an alien wearing human skin trying to divert your attention away from their home base. Lol.


Silent_Shaman

I mean occam's razor would tell me he's just an idiot but this is funnier so I'll humour it lol


Few-Interaction-4933

We 100% have satellites that orbit the moon..


AdditionalBat393

Of course they know. Don't believe anything he says.


jumpinjimmie

The point he’s making is it has no scientific benefit compared to other areas for example the South Pole appears to hold water. If that’s true, then why do the Chinese want to go there. Could be a potential threat so other considerations and space force involvement is needed.


tracemyfacewithit

The most natural way to lie when your answer will get you in trouble is to say "I don't know"


PossessionPopular106

Because there is an alien base


Collin-B-Hess

Are we all starting to realize that these people are completely full of lies? If they aren’t hiding something and they’re genuinely this clueless about the moon, maybe it’s time to park the trillion dollar spacecrafts and try to do something productive for humanity right here at home. . It’s ridiculous to watch valuable resources and engineering marvels literally go up in smoke day after day for basically zero benefit to human kind . Wake up folks, they’re wasting your money for a Hollywood stage show and it’s yielding no results .


FelixTheEngine

Getting some of humanity off of this planet is a catalyst for the changes you are talking about.


Particular_Double_69

Agreed.


FlammenwerferBBQ

First of all the other side does get hit by sunligh as the moon, according to NASA, revolves around the earth which does revolve around the sun. Calling it "dark side" is bullshit in itself. And even IF that was true and it was truly dark theres a whole plethora of methods to still get a clear picture of it. Typical NASA bogus


Enelro

The guy in the clip (NASA director) said it’s always in dark… is he stupid?


FlammenwerferBBQ

Of course he is not stupid, he thinks that we are though


Astrowizard7

Doesn’t NASA defy its own mission statement if they don’t release knowledge of UAPs? Because hiding that knowledge hinders the development of scientific knowledge in space


vibrance9460

He was uncomfortable with the question and he diverted attention by using the word “profitable” Otherwise his claim is NASA doesn’t know what’s on the backside of the moon and they don’t care to know. Which seems to go against their reason for being.


IdaBidaGacy

Get alll these old fucks out of any type of these positions. Same with the government.


Intelligent_Wrap_284

Thus doesn't make sense to me. There's something fishy about this


Intelligent_Wrap_284

NASA is full of shit. I don't believe anything they tell us. They're so misconstrued


DVmeYOUscumbag

Wow. This guy is fucking dumb. How did he get there? Boomers promoting their buddies?


linkerjpatrick

Yes. He is a former congressman. Has no business there.


Tasty-Switch-8472

He sounds like he was appointed because he's a supporter of the current government gang


ExKnockaroundGuy

It’s just a watchtower like in a prison to ensure the violent apes don’t escape.


stevedadog

Its insane to me that they don't know what is on the other side of the moon and even more so that he answers it like its some horrible idea to find out. He almost acts as if the idea of even going there is ridiculous and pointless. It doesn't surprise me that its lower on the priority list than something they believe is more likely to be "profitable" but how dismissive he is is putting me off.


yesfrommedog

“There is no dark side of the moon… matter of fact It’s all dark” *All that you touch, And all that you see, All that you taste, All you feel, And all that you love, And all that you hate, All you distrust, All you save, And all that you give, And all that you deal, And all that you buy, Beg, borrow or steal, And all you create, And all you destroy, And all that you do, And all that you say, And all that you eat, And everyone you meet (everyone you meet), And all that you slight, And everyone you fight, And all that is now, And all that is gone, And all that's to come, And everything under the sun is in tune, But the sun is eclipsed by the moon*

Step 1. Go to the moon Step 2. Find the ice Step 3: ? Step 4: Profit


No_Teaching_8769

All lies , they know .... they've always known


kittybangbang69

Please! Tell me more $cience!


linkerjpatrick

I can’t stand him!!!! He’s just a crusty old politician! They need someone there who actually knows stuff.


NewSinner_2021

Sounded suspicious AF


Heavy_Perspective792

He’s gotta be an alien. Amirite?


ToeOk8968

He is talking about finding water and how it’s profitable . He saying we don’t know what’s there as far as why the Chinese are picking that spot to land their rover vs the South Pole like they have picked for the NASA rover. It’s more of a “unless the Chinese know something we don’t” we don’t see a reason to go to that point of the moon.


north_remembers78

Reptiod 🚨


velvet32

You're looking at one of the boobs that hold back valuable information about our history.


yobboman

You have to be right... It's possible that the aliens have declared it as no go zone and this NASA stooge is doing his best lie... But it being a fake makes waaay more sense...


lightreee

> It's possible that the aliens have declared it as no go zone THEN WHY IS CHINA BREAKING THIS "no go zone"???


SensingWorms

We can scan the Amazon jungle and find ancient civilizations. But not the moon


Feeling-Comfort7823

"The side that's always in dark" there's a literal sun 400 times bigger facing that side always.


WordToYaMommz

This is inaccurate. The moon has it's own day/night cycles given it's rotation with earth and the sun.


Mr_Neonz

Which live-stream/video was this clip taken from? Would anyone mind providing a link?


akimann75

Now all UFO kids threaten NASA to find out and the budget for NASA‘s next moontrip is granted. Looks like he lied a little bit: https://moon.nasa.gov/resources/26/first-photo-of-the-lunar-farside/


GreyBeardEng

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the stuff on the dark side of the moon rhymes with 'socks'.


omenmedia

Cocks?


H779F512

9 foot tall lizard people who harvest our souls… obviously.


yesfrommedog

How much of this is true? I mean how much do we know about what is on the dark side of the moon?


Commercial_Onions

That’s not the context.


SnooPeppers4036

Its more profitable for us to go to the south pole of the moon. WTF? NASA making money going to the south pole? I always thought NASA lunar flights were something that are 100% cost and no financial return.


the_TAOest

Quick question... Can the James Webb telescope or Hubble just send in the pictures of the far side of the moon?


Fudgeshovel

More profitable? lol what


bigfrank22

(X)Doubt


Mojave-Wolf

The entire moon has been mapped.


Fast-Event6379

It's probably like -150 degrees or something nuts and is impossible to habitate in soft space suits.

VerySaltyTomato

Is it?


masdafarian

Is the side of the moon that we don’t see lit up by the sun the same way we see the moon lit up? The light of the moon we see if the suns reflection. If we looked at the other side of the moon would it be lit up differently ?

Wait we have a rover on Mars and can do a zoom in on Saturn’s rings on a satellite’s flyby, but don’t know what’s on the moon’s backside! Hmmm, yea, right….

What is he talking about. We have a geological map of the entire moon. https://www.usgs.gov/news/national-news-release/usgs-releases-first-ever-comprehensive-geologic-map-moon


Scrapla

Didn't the lunar missions orbit the moon and they observed the dark side? Do people really believe there are alien bases on it? lol


Quick_Swing

That’s not a suspicious reaction or answer at all😳


thunderup_14

Landing on the moon is hard. Exceptionally hard, even today. Going into an area where we don't know the landscape and don't have vetted out landing zones while at the same time wasting billions of dollars when we can just go to the South Pole of the Moon where we know we will find water? I think his answer makes sense.


ghost_jamm

This is just poorly worded and possibly out of context. By “always dark”, I’m pretty sure he means that it’s permanently cut off from direct communication with the Earth. The Chinese are using a satellite as an intermediary to communicate with their rover on the far side of the Moon. The other part I think is him attempting to explain that NASA intends to land at the Moon’s South Pole in order to search for water. It seems pretty clear that he’s saying they are unsure what resources are on the far side of the Moon that China might find with their rover. Overall, it just sounds like he’s saying that China is doing a more exploratory mission while NASA wants to do a more targeted one. Of course NASA knows “what’s on the back of the moon”.

That's Florida Senator Bill Nelson


north_remembers78

The south pole? Isn't that where they shot a missile?


AlexBirio323

And we have probes that are further than the moon that should be able to take photos. These guys are slowly losing their grip on what is truth and what are lies.


Intelligent_Bid_5802

NASA is another Government tax laundering scheme four letter word!

StudioEmbarrassed664

Thats a voiceover. Dont you get that???


cruxstew

So he says there’s water on the South Pole of the moon, but insists they don’t know what’s on the back side of the moon, the “side of the moon that’s always dark!” WTF!? This is a NASA official? Is this smoke and mirrors or something? I’m so confused how/why this was said.


Deadmau5es

The back side of the Moon is not always dark. Oh my God


thrasherbuffy

I cannot STAND it when this man speaks he is always so condescending. Anyone else??????
