Is the American landing on the moon fake? What is the truth?

One small step for the individual is one giant leap for mankind. ? 1On July 20th, 969, American astronaut Armstrong said this famous saying which was used as composition material by many students at the moment he set foot on the moon.

However, the authenticity of the great feat of landing on the moon by the United States has been questioned by all parties. Some people suggest that the United States has never landed on the moon at all, which is all false. As early as 1974, American writer Bill? Kane wrote the book "We have never been to the moon", in which he proposed? Moon scam? Opinion, a sensation. This is also the beginning of people questioning whether the United States landed on the moon.

Later, at 1977, a movie called Capricorn I told the story of how scientists faked and deceived everyone to successfully land on Mars, so as to satirize the moon landing plan.

20 16 movie "Avalanche Action" expresses doubts about the moon landing action through the plot. The film was even translated as "I sent Armstrong to the moon" in Taiwan Province Province, China.

According to the survey, in 1999, only 6% people don't believe that man landed on the moon. But 20 13, the proportion climbed to 37%, and all kinds of remarks and so-called? Evidence? The appearance of the technology of landing on the moon 5 1 year ago makes people more and more suspicious. What have the skeptics listed all along? Evidence? There are mainly the following points:

First of all, the flying national flag

Of all the questions, the national flag is the most discussed. One thing people question is that there is no air on the moon, so naturally there will be no wind caused by airflow. But we can see it clearly in the video? Flying in the wind? National flag.

The explanation given by NASA is: on the one hand, because of the small gravity of the moon, the national flag will not sag too fast after deployment, and it will also vibrate with the shaking of astronauts when planting the flag. In addition, the moon has no air resistance, so the small vibration will be amplified and look like it is in? Flying? . NASA said that because it knew in advance that there was no air on the moon, it prepared a flag with wire in advance to prevent the flag from hanging down.

Second, multiple light sources.

Some photos taken show that astronauts have several shadows in different directions, but it is reasonable to say that there is only one light source on the moon, and the light in these photos looks more like studio lighting.

In this regard, NASA's response is that in addition to the direct light of the sun, there is also the reflection of the moon's weathering layer, which is also the reason why the moon shines at night.

Third, you can't see the vast starry sky.

The moon has no atmosphere, so it can directly see the dark universe. There should be many stars in the photos taken, but the background of all the photos released by the US is dark.

In this regard, NASA explained that this is caused by too strong sunlight reflection. Just like we can't see the stars on the earth during the day. It can also be seen from the photos taken by Chang 'e III launched after China that there are really no stars.

Through NASA's response to the skeptics, it can be seen that the fact that the United States landed on the moon is beyond doubt. However, it is not clear how much the United States has announced to the world and how much it has retained. Then someone asked: the national strength and scientific and technological level of the United States have far exceeded that of 50 years ago. Why did it never land on the moon again?

First,? Apollo program? It is the fruit of the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. The success of the plan is not only a matter for the United States, but also a product of mutual competition and confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. In peacetime, when external threats are lost, the power of competition is lost.

Second, the whole? Apollo program? The cost is huge, totaling about $25.5 billion. This is calculated at the monetary value of 50 years ago. Hans, former commander-in-chief of the Ames Research Center of NASA? Mark once commented like this? Apollo program? :? President Kennedy's wish came true, but the price was too high. It can be said that the' Apollo program' is a legacy that is difficult to inherit. ?

Third, the moon environment is barren, and it is of little value to continue exploration. In the vast space, the pace of human exploration has never stopped, but it has questioned the fact that it has made great contributions to mankind. It is better to look up at the starry sky and convey a heartfelt awe to the vast universe.
