The suspense of Apollo moon landing program in the United States

Really, there were hundreds of thousands of researchers involved in the moon landing program at that time, including hundreds of scientific research institutions, universities, private and government agencies. This can't be a scam. The traces of the lunar rover can also be clearly seen in the current moon photos.

The following is the debate between the two sides. Skeptics have been looking for evidence, but they can't have enough arguments. ...

New Express News On July 16, 40 years ago, three American astronauts, neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and Michael collins, left the ground in the Apollo 1 1 spaceship and headed for the moon that mankind has been looking up to since its birth. Although the real anniversary of landing on the moon should be July 20th, the day when Armstrong and Aldrin printed their footprints on the moon, since this month, activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Apollo landing on the moon have been in full swing all over the United States. NASA also announced that the recorded files of Apollo 1 1 spacecraft will be released to the public for the first time from yesterday, not only to commemorate the brilliant achievements of human exploration of space, but also to "set the record straight", because even after 40 years, the conspiracy theory that "landing on the moon is a big scam" is still endless. On June 5438+05, the British Daily Telegraph listed the top ten PK reasons of skeptics and debaters on its website.

Question: In the video of landing on the moon, the American flag inserted by astronauts on the moon is actually "flying in the wind", so there can be no wind on the moon.

Defense: This American flag is made of plastic, and the moon is rolled on an aluminum flagpole. After the astronauts unfolded it and inserted it into the lunar soil, the flagpole was still trembling slightly, driving the flag to make the illusion of "flying with the wind".

Question: The astronauts didn't see the stars in the photos taken on the surface of the moon.

Defense: It was daytime when we landed on the moon, and the sun was very bright. The shutter setting time of the camera was not enough for the film to fully expose the light including the stars.

Problem: When the lunar module landed, no air holes were left on the surface of the moon.

Just say: the lunar module landed on a hard rock with only a layer of moon dust on it, so it can't be "smashed" out of the hole.

Problem: The lunar module weighs 17 tons, but it can't leave a mark on the moon, while the astronauts next to it can clearly step on that famous footprint.

The moon dust at the landing site was blown up by the engine airflow of the lunar module, and quickly deposited and covered the nearby ground, where the astronauts had just stepped on the footprints.

Question: It's the same famous footprint. The moon has no water, no atmosphere and no gravity, but it is unexpectedly preserved so completely, as if stepping on wet sand.

There is no wind on the moon, which makes the footprints well preserved, and the dry dust will not be blown up by the wind to cover up the footprints for no reason, just like on the earth.

Problem: When the lunar module leaves the surface of the moon, it can't see the open flame of its engine.

Defense: The engine of the lunar module is driven by a mixture of hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, and there will be no open flame when burning.

Question: If the video of astronauts walking on the moon is played faster, it looks like walking on the earth, but the speed is slower.

Defense: this can only be said to be, well, a bit like it, but not exactly like it.

Problem: Astronauts can't come back alive because they are all exposed to the deadly radiation of the Van Allen radiation belt (the high-energy particle radiation belt around the earth).

It only takes a short time for the spacecraft to cross the Van Allen radiation belt. Moreover, the spacecraft shell has a protective layer, and the radiation received by astronauts will be very weak.

Question: the moon rocks brought back are exactly the same as those brought back by the Antarctic expedition! Right: Moon rocks can be found in some places on the earth, but these meteorites from the moon were all burnt black when they crossed the atmosphere. Geologists have confirmed that the rocks brought back by Apollo spacecraft must belong to the moon.

Q: All six moon landings were completed during President Nixon's term. No other country claims to have sent astronauts to the moon. Over the past 40 years, the rapid development of science and technology remains an unbreakable record.

Defense: This is the favorite one put forward by conspiracy theorists, because it doesn't even need evidence, just needs to point the finger at Richard Nixon's disgraceful presidency. The fact is, after Apollo landed on the moon, the space race with the former Soviet Union stopped because the money had been spent. The former Soviet Union was not interested in being the second child, and politicians of both countries realized that space missions in near-earth orbit were more conducive to economic and military development.
