During this time, good news came out one after another from the mainland aerospace community, first of all, Shenzhou 18 was successfully launched on April 25. Later, on April 30, the three astronauts of Shenzhou-17 completed the mission and returned smoothly.
And just when the Chinese people are enjoying a rare holiday, on May 3, Beijing time, the Chang'e-6 probe was successfully launched at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan.
The good news one after another also dazzled netizens, and they didn't know which one to congratulate first. In particular, Chang'e-6 will launch a special mission for the first time to sample the far side of the moon!
And just after the launch of Chang'e-6, Pei Mingming, deputy chief designer of the lunar exploration project, who was invited by CCTV to the live broadcast room, said something "meaningful" in the eyes of netizens: "I didn't find it, the one in the Apollo Basin... That ......"
Mr. Pei's words instantly detonated the Internet, and many netizens thought that Mr. Pei's words indirectly showed that the U.S. Apollo moon landing program was fake!
So, what is the truth of the facts? Demystifying the Apollo program.
Doubts about the Apollo program
The United States has carried out six manned missions to the moon, the first in May 1961 and the last in December 1972, and has not set foot on the moon for 50 years.
It is inconceivable to think about it, in 1961, when New China was still in a three-year difficult period, the United States on the other side of the ocean had already achieved a manned landing on the moon.
Such a big gap also makes many netizens more inclined to the conclusion that "the Apollo moon landing was fake". Let's take a look at a few widely circulated claims that the U.S. moon landing was fake.
First, the flag flutters in a vacuum.
In fact, many people have come out to explain this question, and the reason why the American flag in the photo can "flutter in the wind" on the moon in a vacuum environment.
It's because the United States uses a special flag, which has a long flagpole, and after the astronauts insert the flagpole into the soil, the flagpole vibrates, bringing the flag on it, which looks like the flag is "floating".
Second, why are there no stars in the sky?
Everyone knows that the moon has no atmosphere, so standing in the moon, the stars in the sky should be clearly visible, but in the photos provided by NASA, the sky is pitch black.
This is one of the reasons why skeptics believe that the US moon landing is fake, in fact, why there are no stars in the sky is also easy to explain.
One is because of the limitations of photography technology at that time, and the other is because the ability of the lunar surface to reflect sunlight is weak, which leads to the need for the camera to reduce the exposure during the shooting process.
These two reasons led to the absence of stars in the photos of the moon landing provided by NASA.
The third point is that many people believe that the environment of the moon is different from that of the earth, and that our astronauts are carried back after returning from a mission.
Judging from the images provided by NASA, the US space agency, after completing the lunar mission, the American astronauts actually walked into the isolation capsule by themselves.
In fact, the reason for this contrast is that our astronauts have been in space for more than half a year, and their body muscles have atrophied and need time to recover.
American astronauts, on the other hand, do not spend much time on the moon and consume less muscle and bones. For example, Yang Liwei, an astronaut from the mainland, also came out on his own after flying in space for 21 hours.
Not enough as evidence
As for the other points of doubt, I will not list them one by one. To get back to the point, although these doubts have some truth, they are not enough to be the key evidence to prove that the "US moon landing was fake".
Not long ago, Mr. Pei's words made everyone start to pay attention to this matter again, and some netizens interpreted Mr. Pei's words as "Chang'e-6 did not find the basin where Apollo landed on the moon".
In fact, the Apollo Basin mentioned by Mr. Pei is a crater on the far side of the moon, with a diameter of 482 kilometers, which was specially named by the United States to commemorate the Apollo moon landing, not the landing location of the Apollo 11 spacecraft launched by the United States in 1969.
Recently, there have been a lot of information on the Internet, and the location of a suspected "Apollo moon landing fraud site" photographed by an American is just a "simulated base" artificially created by the United States in order to train astronauts.
It doesn't mean anything, because that's what mock testing and training have to go through. In addition, not only continental probes, but also foreign probes have repeatedly photographed the remains of the Apollo mission.
As for why the United States has not been on the moon for more than 50 years, in fact, Zhang Bonan, chief designer of the manned spacecraft system of the Continental Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, responded, saying that the technology used by the United States to land on the moon several decades ago is actually quite risky today.
China Science News did not question the authenticity of the Apollo program
If today's safety standards were to be required, Apollo would probably not even meet 50% of the safety standards.
In addition, the reason why the United States carried out the manned space program was also because it was going to have an arms race with the Soviet Union at that time, and later the Soviet Union collapsed, and there was no need for the United States to come up with such a high amount of money to compete with the Soviet Union.
