Is the American moon landing a hoax? Why hasn’t there been another moon landing after so many years?

The moon is the earth’s only natural satellite and has accompanied the earth for 4.6 billion years. Therefore, the moon has extraordinary significance to mankind. In ancient times, there were many beautiful moon legends, and the moon was considered to be a very beautiful satellite. However, with the development of human technological civilization and the invention of astronomical telescopes, people realized that the moon is actually a very barren planet.

When mankind’s first man-made satellite was launched into space by the former Soviet Union, the United States launched the moon landing plan and achieved mankind’s first manned moon landing in 1969. After the United States successfully landed on the moon, The world was boiling, and people finally landed on the moon. However, 51 years have passed since the United States landed on the moon several times. No country, including the United States and China, has carried out moon landing activities. Why is this?

First, let’s talk about the purpose of the United States’ moon landing 50 years ago. The Soviet Union 50 years ago was very powerful. At this time, the United States was catching up from behind and its economy was also very strong. From this, the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union began. Everyone wanted to be the first in the world. At this time, the former Soviet Union successfully launched mankind's first artificial satellite. The United States panicked and the limelight was stolen by the Soviet Union. This was not good. So the United States is preparing to do a bigger thing to attract the attention of the world and regain the lost influence. This big plan is the Apollo manned moon landing.

Of course, landing on the moon is much more difficult than launching a satellite. The United States prepared for this for five years and finally successfully landed on the moon in 1969. At this time, the world was boiling again, and the eyes of people all over the world were suddenly focused. Here in the United States, the United States achieved a major victory in this space race. However, the cost of landing on the moon was huge. At that time, each landing on the moon cost about 20 billion U.S. dollars. This was definitely a huge sum of money at the time, and only the United States had the financial resources. But even so, the United States could not afford to spend frequent moon landings. At this time, the former Soviet Union disintegrated. In the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States completely won, and the world's most powerful country finally returned. At this time, the United States also gave up on continuing to land on the moon because it was no longer necessary. There was no threat from enemies and followers, and the moon landing was indeed too expensive. If it continued, the United States' finances would be dragged down.

Many people may say that there are rich resources on the moon. Ores can be mined after landing on the moon. In fact, with the current human technology, it is difficult to mine ores on the moon, let alone 50 years ago. A manned moon landing is more like a lunar tourism, and at most it can bring people on the moon. Returning some soil and mineral samples, the moon landing was a total loss-making business.
