Chang 'e V made meritorious service: A five-star red flag rose on the moon, stronger than the American flag.

On the moon 380,000 kilometers away, only two human probes are still working. They are Chang 'e IV and Yutu II in China.

Later, Chang 'e V successfully landed on the back of the moon, but because the mission of Chang 'e V was to sample and return to the moon, Chang 'e V returned to Earth after obtaining 1.75438+0 kilograms of lunar rock and soil samples.

As the last step of the "falling around the moon" mission of the Chang 'e project, Chang 'e V also carried a five-star red flag made of special materials and successfully rose on the moon. Compared with the painted national flag between Chang 'e III and Chang 'e IV, the national flag of Chang 'e V is really hung on the flagpole and can be unfolded, which is of great significance.

After seeing the five-star red flag on Chang 'e V, many people invariably thought of the crumpled American flag that was still "fluttering in the wind" when the United States landed on the moon in the 1960s. By contrast, the American flag seems a bit fake.

As we all know, the moon has no atmosphere at all, so there can be no wind. Then 1969 Why did the American flag planted by Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon float?

Is it really like the conspiracy theory of landing on the moon revealed by Americans later, that the American manned landing on the moon was only filmed in Hollywood studios?

Let's go back to the 1960s.

At that time, under the pressure of the space race, the United States gave NASA unprecedented funds and ordered them to send astronauts to the moon before the 1970s, so there was the Apollo program promoted by the whole country. After the previous ground experiments and the cost of casualties.

1On July 20th, 969, American astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins became the crew of Apollo 1 1. In this mission, they will fly Saturn V carrier rocket to the moon 380,000 kilometers away.

Because going to a planet other than Earth is an action in human history, NASA scientists designed an American flag that can be unfolded on the moon, and told the astronauts on the moon that the first thing to do after landing safely on the lunar land is to plant an American flag on the moon and announce to the world that the United States is coming.

Considering that there is no wind on the moon and the temperature difference between day and night reaches hundreds of degrees Celsius, the American flag designed by NASA is made of special plastic, and in order to unfold smoothly on the moon, a crossbar is specially added at the top of the flag, so that the American flag can fly on the moon forever as long as it is artificially shaped once.

In a series of images that can be seen at present, there is indeed a bracket above the American flag, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the American landing on the moon.

However, according to Armstrong's statement after his return to Earth, the flagpole itself was not strong, because they had little experience in planting the national flag on the moon for the first time. At the moment when he upgraded on the lunar module and returned by reaction, he saw with his own eyes that the American flag he had planted on the moon was overturned.

Therefore, of the six manned landings in the United States from 1969 to 1972, only five American flags actually stood on the moon. However, according to NASA, the remaining five American flags are in normal condition.

Because the special plastics used to make these national flags can't "keep their true colors" on the moon for more than 70 years, they will still be weathered by the sun like ordinary plastics, so the American flag still planted on the moon may have turned into several white flags or even a bare flagpole.

Although the Chang 'e project in China was later than the Apollo program in the United States, our technology will be more advanced than the Apollo program because of its late-comer advantage. The five-star red flag carried by Chang 'e V can adapt to the lunar environment, which is the best proof. Today we can plant a five-star red flag on the moon, and tomorrow we can plant it on Mars.

In the foreseeable future, with the launch of Chang 'e-6 and Chang 'e-7, the plan of building a lunar base and manned landing on the moon by 2030 will also be put on the agenda.

As a nation with a beautiful romantic imagination of the moon, the moon 380,000 kilometers away will leave our footprints sooner or later, and the distant stars and seas will also be our unchanging goal.
