The 1731-gram Chang'e 5 lunar sample is not easy to come by, and it is a "priceless treasure" that countless astronauts on the mainland have selflessly dedicated and painstakingly exchanged for blood, which is of great scientific research value. Now, the distribution of Chang'e 5 lunar scientific research samples is also in an orderly manner, and the third batch of distribution has been completed, and 41 Chinese scientific research institutions have obtained samples.
According to public information, the first batch was issued to 13 scientific research institutions, 21 samples, a total of 17.4764 grams, the second batch was issued to 17 scientific research institutions, 51 samples, a total of 17.936 grams, and the third batch was issued to 11 scientific research institutions, three samples, a total of 9.4453 grams.
Through the in-depth study of the Lunar Samples of Chang'e-5, our scientists announced a number of major new discoveries, and related papers have been published in a number of prestigious scientific forums, causing an uproar, and at this time, NASA issued a proposal: China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples should be shared internationally.
NASA recommends that lunar samples from the mainland be shared internationally
According to media reports, on May 3, 2022, Bill Nelson, the head of NASA, made another surprising remark, suggesting that China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples should be shared free of charge with the world, just as NASA did in the last century, sharing Apollo mission lunar samples.
Bill Nelson, NASA's 14th director and took office around April 2021, has recently made frequent startling remarks about China's space and accusing continental aerospace of not taking the initiative to propose space cooperation to the United States.
What was the purpose of giving Apollo samples that year?
From July 1969 to December 1972, the American Apollo spacecraft successfully landed on the moon 6 times, and the astronauts did not forget to bring back 382 kilograms of lunar samples when they returned, which was THE most brilliant period of NASA, and the news of the moon landing can be described as shocking the world, when many countries could not even build cars, let alone advanced manned spacecraft.
Therefore, many people do not believe in the fact that the United States landed on the moon, even in the 21st century today, there are many people on the mainland who question the authenticity of the United States landing on the moon, the American flag planted on the surface of the moon seems to be fluttering, the moon has no wind, why the most important astronaut recordings have been lost for no reason, and they have not been found until now.
In order to confirm the success of the Americans on the moon, the United States used the most convincing killer skill: Don't you question the authenticity of our moon landing? Then we will send you a sample of the moon directly, and see if you can say anything. As a result, the United States began to share a large number of Apollo lunar samples with the rest of the world.
At that time, NASA was really generous enough, giving away lunar samples to 145 countries and regions around the world, and many unknown small countries such as Andorra, Barbados, Upper Volta, Sierra Leone also existed in the donation list, and in 1978, the mainland also received 1 gram of lunar samples donated by NASA.
At that time, the mainland was taking this 1 gram of lunar samples as a treasure, half of which was stored at the Beijing Observatory for everyone's reference, and the other half was used for scientific research, through the study of 0.5 grams of lunar samples, mainland scientists published a number of research papers, even NASA researchers were very surprised, China is worthy of China.
In fact, the United States donated lunar samples to China, in fact, there is another purpose, that is, to test the level of Development of China's scientific research technology. How many discoveries can be made from lunar samples can reflect the extent to which China's scientific research technology level has developed, and the facts have proved that China's scientific research technology level has developed very rapidly.
Therefore, the United States sent lunar samples to China for a purpose, one is to confirm that the Americans have successfully landed on the moon, and the other is to test how high the level of scientific research technology on the mainland is.
The more the United States blockades, the more bullish the mainland's space technology becomes
With the further development of China's scientific research and technology level, the United States began to feel uneasy, especially in the field of aerospace science and technology, the development is very rapid, satellites, rockets have begun to have, so the United States began to find ways to hinder the development of China's space, in 2011, the United States specifically for China's space "Wolf clause" was born.
What is the "Wolf Clause"? The "Wolf Clause" is used to prohibit China and the United States from carrying out any scientific research cooperation, to impose a technological blockade on the mainland, and to prevent the development of Chinese science and technology, but the United States obviously has not done it.
China not only built the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft, the Chinese space station, but also successfully retrieved lunar samples with the Chang'e 5 lunar probe, China's Tianwen-1 made the first close exploration of Mars, and the Zhurong Mars rover also conducted a series of explorations on the surface of Mars.
China's aerospace is actually very willing to carry out international cooperation, such as the Chinese space station project, 17 countries have successfully joined in, in fact, we also hope that the United States can cooperate in good faith, but the premise is to abolish the "Wolf Clause", "Wolf Clause" is the biggest obstacle to Sino-US cooperation.
On the one hand, the head of NASA in the United States continues to implement the "Wolf Clause" and prohibits technical cooperation with China, on the other hand, he suggests that China share the lunar sample of Chang'e 5 with the international community and share scientific results, saying that China's space is not transparent, and accusing China of not taking the initiative to propose space cooperation with the United States.
