Bard AI by Google

I asked Bard: Did astronauts gone back to the moon?

Bard answered: No, no astronauts have gone back to the moon since the last crewed mission in December 1972, Apollo 17. There have been a number of robotic missions to the moon since then, but no humans have set foot on its surface in over 50 years.

There are a number of reasons why humans have not returned to the moon. One reason is cost. The Apollo missions were very expensive, and it is not clear that the public is willing to pay for another moon landing. Another reason is that there are other priorities for NASA, such as the International Space Station and the James Webb Space Telescope.

However, there is renewed interest in sending humans back to the moon. In 2017, NASA announced the Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024. The Artemis program is still in development, but it is a major step towards returning humans to the moon.

It is also possible that private companies will be involved in sending humans back to the moon. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing rockets and spacecraft that could be used for lunar missions. If these companies are successful, it could make it more affordable to send humans back to the moon.

Only time will tell when humans will return to the moon. But the Artemis program and the development of private space companies are a sign that the dream of returning to the moon is alive and well.

The Russians launched Sputnik 1 into an elliptical low Earth orbit on October 4, 1957, as part of the Soviet Union's space program. This was followed by other milestones, including the United States landing on the moon.

Another classic conspiracy theory is that the moon landing was a hoax; TIME articled with the help of Hollywood and Stanley Kubrick, the director of 2001: A Space Odyssey, as suspect being part of the conspiracy. I've seen his film, and as an artist, I know it's possible. However, the footage taken from the moon by American astronauts would have been impossible to fake in the late 1960s. Today, with digital CGI and green screen technology, it would be possible, but the footage from the moon landing looks authentic to me.

I'm aware that it's easy to say the moon landing was fake and that it was a desperate attempt by the US to claim dominance in space projects against Russia. However, I've also read that Russia has participated in the US journey to the moon.

Here are the footages on July 20, 1969, where millions of people gathered around their televisions to watch two U.S. astronauts do something no one had ever done before. Wearing bulky space suits and backpacks of oxygen to breathe, Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first human beings to walk on the moon.

Before I go any further in my blog about space frontiers, let me talk about Google's new artificial intelligence experiment called Bard AI. A fellow security guard told me about it. He spent most of his time exploring the more sophisticated search engine before telling me the exciting news.

"If you get stuck in a story you're writing, Bard can most likely help you move forward," Enrique said. "I've been using it for a while, man, and it's amazing."

I caught him once reading an SNL comedian's autobiography novel. I forgot who it was, but the book was pink. It turned out that he was into theatrical performance, and I could tell from the way he talked that he had been doing some scriptwriting in Los Angeles. He told me that he had, but I never asked why he ended up back in San Jose. Maybe I did and I forgot.

That's when I told him about my secret love for writing stories, which started with an interest in what makes a good plot for a movie. It wasn't until I had a sudden stroke and got a year off from work to recover that I decided to attempt to turn the plot into a full story myself instead of having this reserve "someday" to a film producer or something. A comic book idea perhaps. Writing books wasn't the original destination. Anyhow, I didn't want to go insane thinking about being disabled, so I wanted to write something magical, funny, and that would make me laugh. I must be going insane; the stroke must have triggered the brain that tickles my gut this way. My folks pass it on as part of the medicines' side effects. So, I did that. In addition to thinking about the plots of what makes an Elite soldier, I read a few books to learn how books are written. It took time, but I eventually got the hang of it. There were a few moments when I wanted to give up, but I thought, This could be "reptilians" sabotaging these special relics. So, I didn't cry about it. As a baptized Christian, I thought of it as a gift worthy of developing as much as I could.

After I recovered, I kept my security guard job. My left arm was weaker, and I had a slight limp when I walked. I could still run, but not as balanced as before because of my weak ankle. However, I decided to stay in security because it gave me space to lock in.

"It's not autobiographies of actors. It is Science Fiction," I told him. "Pretty inspiring, man. I thought about that too," he says. "Science Fiction." Since then, Enrique has been asking about my personal journey into writing books. Bard is the greatest additional tool he shared with me so far. He often asks me what else I've experimented with by asking Bard. Well, for now, it's mostly for helping me write. Now and then, I tell Bard to edit me some paragraphing. Don't rely on it; because human intelligence must still craft it however you want. I might as well blog about what made me curious about the space projects. Otherwise, I'll also be writing a sci-fi novel titled Kepler AI.

I opened up YouTube and searched for information about life on Venus using Bard. My search concluded my theory that life from Venus may have been transferred to Earth after some sort of cosmic catastrophic event that ended their advanced civilization.  However, further research suggests that there is no evidence to support this theory.

Bard also said that the moon protects Earth from incoming threats like meteors and other objects. This is natural cosmic fact. However, my research also led me to the theory that the moon was created and not by cosmic natural events before Earth to protect it, as Venus brought bacteria to develop into a new civilization on Earth. This civilization, however, may have even included a fully developed human. But an alien form. The book of Genesis mentions God breathing life into Adam into a similar likeness. To me, this holy text is like a scientific explanation of cosmic wind-spreading bacteria that evolved into life on Earth today. Perhaps, literally using alien technology. Somewhere around there, science fiction can only theorize about survivors landing on Earth after its completion, maybe to start again. It only makes sense not to follow to start some type of mistake for Adam. Maybe the same mistake from Venus—the tree of knowledge.

Not long ago, I found a theorist on Instagram claiming that the moon was made by aliens. I found this humorous, of course, but to my surprise, I also stumbled upon another piece of evidence that, indeed, there is a large amount of metal inside a large crater on the moon. This means that what's on the surface is nothing but dirt formed from meteors that landed on the moon, covering a sort of orbiting alien shuttle. On the other hand, science logically explains that the metal was formed by cosmic processes. As a science fiction writer, regardless, I can't help but think of alien works. Anyway, I searched for those theories with some links supporting them after first searching for the elementary level of where the planets align with the sun.
