"Moonshot fake!"
Almost every time NASA releases photos taken by a new Apollo probe to the moon, there are people who question it.
The reason for this skepticism revolves around some details, such as the astronauts' performances on the moon, photos taken on the moon, etc., which skeptics believe can prove that the United States has not actually landed on the moon.
In this era of information explosion, these doubts can quickly spread, attract a large number of people's attention and discussion, and this voice has gradually become louder, and even affect some people's trust in NASA.
In order to prove that the United States really landed on the moon that year, the United States even sent a sample of one gram of lunar soil, including China, which proved that the American moon landing was real through research on lunar soil.
So what exactly is this gram of lunar soil sample?
1. Lunar Landing Program.
On April 12, 1961, then U.S. President John F. Kennedy delivered a speech to Congress, announcing that the United States would land on the moon within 10 years, a grand goal that also kicked off the U.S. Apollo program.
The realization of this goal was undoubtedly a huge challenge for the United States at that time, but the United States was also determined to achieve this goal through its own efforts, because it represented the scientific and technological strength of the United States.
The United States has been the most powerful country in the world in this regard, and this has also benefited from the investment in science and technology in the United States, and the United States has also invested huge amounts of money into this program.
Finally, on July 20, 1969, the astronauts carried by Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon and completed the goal of the United States to land on the moon, and this historic moment was also recorded.
This is also the first time that human beings have landed on the moon, setting human footprints on the strange land of the moon, and it is also of great significance to human exploration.
This event is also considered a major milestone in the history of human spaceflight, but there are also those who believe that the US moon landing was a hoax and that the United States has never landed on the moon at all.
They believe that Apollo 11 completed a flight around the Earth, not a landing on the moon.
There are many reasons for this, some of them take photos taken on the way back from the Apollo 11 moon landing, believing that the details in the photos can prove that it is a hoax;
Some people think that the astronauts in the photo don't behave like the real thing, and they can slow down in a vacuum;
Others believe that the photos taken by astronauts on the moon have places where the background does not match the characteristics of the space environment, and so on.
2. Suspicion of the falsification of the moon landing.
In the eyes of these skeptics, these details can show that the United States has not actually landed on the moon, so what are these details?
After the Apollo 11 moon landing, astronauts Booth and Armstrong explored the moon, planted the American flag on the moon, and conducted a "science experiment."
On the moon, because there is no atmosphere, the moon is also in a vacuum, so no matter what the object is, if it is not fixed, it will become very soft or even become a lump.
However, in the video of the moon landing, the American flag is hard, and it seems to be affected by the air, but there is no air on the moon, which means that the form of the national flag is impossible.
This also leads some to believe that the United States has not been on the moon, but has only simulated it on Earth.
And in the photos taken by Booth and Armstrong on the moon, there are some doubts, such as the background in the photo, some of the background is something with very clear outlines, and some of the background is something blurry.
And when astronauts take pictures, they are very fast, how did these things appear?
Skeptics believe that these backgrounds are all faked by the United States on the moon, and these things are some props;
Some backgrounds are things with very clear outlines, which look like buildings, and American astronauts haven't found buildings on the moon, so these backgrounds are stage props;
Some of the backgrounds are blurry things, and skeptics think that these are pictures made by the United States on Earth and then put in the background of the moon landing, which is why the background is partially clearly outlined and partially blurred.
There are also skeptics who believe that when the Apollo 11 spacecraft leaves the moon, the dust on the moon should be carried away by the hot air currents of the spacecraft's engines, but in fact the dust on the surface of the moon does not move at all in the photos of the moon landing.
There are also some skeptics who believe that the Apollo 11 rocket did not reach the moon at all, but was just a show near the South Pole of the Earth.
Their reasoning was that Apollo 11 was sealed on the U.S. Space Shuttle, and that the test had been conducted 17 times, three of which had failed.
On July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 completed the mission to the moon, everything went very smoothly, and from this point of view, it was impossible for Apollo 11 to complete the mission to the moon, and they also found some doubts in the photos.
And there are others who think that the moon rocks from NASA are fake, they think that these moon rocks are from the National Museum of the Netherlands, and they think that these moon rocks are actually some wood, and the density of these wood is exactly the same as that of wood on Earth, so the American moon landing is actually a show.
3. The United States donated lunar soil.
In 1970, NASA began to donate one gram of lunar soil samples to scientists from various countries in order to prove the authenticity of the U.S. moon landing.
NASA gave away a total of 382 grams of lunar soil samples, including China, and China also received Chinese lunar soil samples, and after Chinese scientists' research, they found that the chemical properties and material structure of this gram of lunar soil samples are different from those on Earth.
And in this gram of lunar soil sample also contains some rare metals, these metals are very precious on the earth, and the crystallinity of these metals is also very high, after scientists have measured, this gram of lunar soil sample also has some fine dust, the composition of these fine dust is completely different from the dust on the earth.
On the way back of Apollo 11, the lunar soil was also isolated, because there is no atmosphere on the moon, and it is constantly irradiated by cosmic rays, and some radioactive elements will be produced in the lunar soil, but NASA did not find this.
And on the surface of the lunar soil, there are some circular craters.
These craters are produced by the volatilization of some gases in the lunar soil due to the constant irradiation of cosmic rays, which NASA has not found.
So these details all show that Apollo 11 actually landed on the moon, not simulated on Earth.
4. China's lunar landing program.
In 2003, China successfully launched its first manned spacecraft, marking the third country in the world to successfully send people into space and the beginning of China's landing on the moon.
In 2007, China's Chang'e-1 was successfully launched, entered the orbit of the moon, reached the far side of the moon, and carried out a series of exploration work, which is also the first time that mankind has explored the far side of the moon.
In 2018, Chang'e-4 was successfully launched, and it also landed on the far side of the moon, which is also the first human probe to land on the far side of the moon.
In 2019, Yutu-2 on Chang'e-4 also successfully separated from the lunar rover and entered the lunar surface to conduct some experiments, which is also the first human probe to experiment on the lunar surface.
China's lunar program is advancing step by step, China's lunar exploration program is also growing, and China's lunar exploration program has also been recognized by the world.
V. Conclusion
The US lunar landing program is not only an event of human exploration of space, but also a symbol of the scientific and technological strength of various countries and international competition, so the US lunar landing program is easy to arouse suspicion and doubt.
And in today's age of social media, these questions are more likely to be hotly debated.
Therefore, in this era, we need to have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of information.
Scientific research and scientific evidence are the key to judging the truth of facts, so open and transparent scientific research can help clarify controversies and raise public awareness of the truth of events.
When China lands on the moon again, it will also bring lunar soil samples back to Earth to prove the authenticity of China's moon landing.
