The United States chose to land on the moon in the Aitken Basin, and some people left footprints on it, and the saying "one small step for mankind, one big leap for the world" is even more widely spread.
Chang'e-6 landed within the Apollo double-ring impact basin, which is located within the larger (SPA).
According to sources, this time Chang'e-6 found no traces of the Apollo moon landing in the United States. In the live broadcast of the Chang'e-6 mission of the Chinese lunar exploration station, the chief designer mentioned that the Chinese Chang'e-6 probe carried out a large-scale exploration of the far side of the moon and did not find any traces of the Apollo moon landing.
NASA was quick to respond to this, saying that it is extremely difficult to find traces of the lunar landing ten years ago on the surface of the moon, which may be hidden by natural factors such as cosmic impact on the lunar surface and lunar dust deposits.
In response, netizens questioned: The documentary made by the United States said that footprints will remain for millions of years!
Netizen: People pay attention to environmental protection and clean up before leaving.
This series of discussions and responses has sparked reflection on the history of lunar exploration and whether it is possible that the traces left on the moon may be obscured by natural factors.
The mainland's Chang'e-6 probe was launched to collect samples from the far side of the moon, and the 53-day mission aimed to bring about two kilograms of lunar samples back to Earth for analysis, which is known as the world's first.
The mission carried the ESA Lunar Surface Negative Ion Analyzer, the French Radon Detector, the Italian Laser Corner Reflector, and the Pakistan CubeSat.
We know very little about the far side of the Moon. If the Chang'e-6 mission can achieve its goal, it will provide scientists with the first direct evidence to understand the environment and material composition on the far side of the moon, which is of great significance. Collecting and returning samples from the far side of the Moon is an unprecedented feat.
By 2030, the continent's space goal is to send the first astronauts to the moon and send probes to collect samples from Mars and Jupiter.
