"What the hell is the truth?" There has always been controversy about the landing of the United States on the moon. Some are convinced of this, others are questioned. In recent years, with the deepening of China's lunar exploration program, this debate has become more and more intense. So, did the United States land on the moon that year? Let's explore the four biggest doubts.

The first suspicion: the round-trip time is too short
According to NASA's open information, Apollo 11 took only 8 days from launch to return to Earth. However, according to the current rocket technology, this round trip time is too rushed. With the current state-of-the-art rocket technology, it will take at least more than 50 days to return to the moon. How did NASA manage to be so efficient? This is really suspicious.
One explanation is that the United States used some unknown advanced space technology to make the spacecraft fly straight to the moon at extremely high speeds. But this explanation is unconvincing, because even today's most sophisticated space technology cannot support such extreme flight patterns. Another possibility is that the astronauts did not actually reach the moon, but only simulated it at some relay point.
The second suspicion: the mystery of the loss of technology
It stands to reason that the manned landing on the moon is the greatest achievement in the history of spaceflight, and it embodies a large number of advanced technologies. Curiously, however, these techniques can no longer be reproduced today. NASA claims that its technical data has been completely destroyed, but this argument is too far-fetched for a technological powerhouse. Shouldn't these technologies be updated and evolved over time?
Another explanation is that the moon landing was a fiction, and the so-called loss of technical information is just a fig leaf. Many people believe that the fake image of the moon was made at a film studio in Montreal, Canada.
The third suspicion: lunar soil fraud
NASA has given away so-called "lunar soil samples" to other countries to highlight its achievements on the moon. But these samples caused controversy. For example, in 2006, a "moon rock" donated to the Netherlands was identified as a fossilized wood. Here's an interesting statistic, why were scientists convinced that the United States had given a piece of soil from the moon? Quite simply, geological exploration was immature at that time, and the lunar soil given by the United States at that time existed for 3.7 billion years, which is longer than the age of any rock on the earth. But by 2019, Brazilian studies showed that the rock layers were more than 4 billion years old at 410 kilometers below sea level.
The fourth suspicion: the photos of the moon landing are suspicious
NASA has released a large number of so-called photos and videos of the moon landing to prove its great achievements that year. However, there are also doubts about these images. For example, in some photos, the shadow shape is abnormal, and the background environment is not harmonious. As another example, the gravitational environment on the Moon seems to be the same as on Earth.
Photographs alone do not directly prove anything, they can be altered. If it did land on the moon, NASA would have had more direct physical evidence than just photos and videos. The lack of objectivity in the footage is also a major factor in the questioning.
Epilogue:
From the above analysis, we can conclude that there is some plausibility for the moon landing hypothesis, but at the same time, we must also admit that there is no evidence to completely overturn the American moon landing achievements of the year. We need more research and exploration to find out the truth about this puzzle.
