Recently, the matter of "US moon landing fraud" rushed to the hot search because of an interview with Pei Zhaoyu, deputy chief designer of the third phase of the lunar exploration project-in the interview, Pei, deputy chief engineer, jumped out of the sentence "I didn't find that" because he failed to organize the language for a while...... The one in the Apollo Basin...", which was considered by many so-called "media" to be a "fraud of the American moon landing", and some so-called "popular science videos" went viral on Internet platforms.
So was the U.S. moon landing a fake? The answer, of course, is no.
(Many people think that the American moon landing was fake)
In fact, since China launched its lunar exploration program, a large number of samples, data and information collected all point to the same result, that is, the US moon landing did indeed happen.
Previously, some scientists pointed out that the samples of lunar soil and rocks collected by China are highly similar to the samples donated to China by the United States before, which proves that the United States did go to the moon that year. Prior to this, Zhao Baochang, chief designer of the Chang'e-2 payload subsystem, had said that in the high-precision images sent back by the Chang'e-2 satellite, the remains of the U.S. Apollo 11 lunar landing mission could be seen.

Moreover, the remarks of "the United States falsified the moon landing" even alarmed a heavyweight - academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of China's lunar exploration program with the title of "father of Chang'e": Academician Ouyang Ziyuan.
In an interview with China's popular science network, he said that there are basically four so-called bases for the "US moon landing fraud theory", which are nothing more than why the American flag flutters in a vacuum, why astronauts have four shadows, the footprints are particularly clear, and the projection height of astronauts of different heights on the surface of the moon is about the same.

In this regard, Academician Ouyang Ziyuan said that in fact, these can be explained by science: there is no air resistance on the moon, so when astronauts plant the flag, they will exert an additional and horizontal force on the flagpole due to inertia, causing the flag to shake on the moon; Several shadows of astronauts are due to the reflection of sunlight on the surface of the lunar module; The clear footprints are because the soil in the area where the Americans landed on the moon is mostly powdery, so it is easy to step on the footprints; The height of the astronaut's projection is due to the uneven surface of the moon, so the shadow is easily deformed due to the terrain......
With such a heavyweight scientist explaining, the rumor that the "US moon landing fake" is obviously self-defeating - but to really say it, this thing is not actually "originated" in China, but an outright "import".

Jia Yang, deputy chief designer of China's lunar and Mars probes, said that he had actually heard many of the "theories of US moon landing fraud" more than 20 years ago. In fact, this rumor can be traced back to the seventies half a century ago.
In 1976, a personal printed manual titled "We Never Went to the Moon: America's $30 Billion Scam" went viral across the United States. This pamphlet, which was the first to put forward the "American moon landing fraud theory", was written by an employee of an outsourcing company for the American space program, named Bill Keysing.
In that era of underdeveloped information exchange and endless conspiracy theories, his conspiracy theory of "moon landing fake" quickly won the approval of many anti-authority people in the United States, especially young people, and this absurd rumor also spread all over the world through the American media network in the following decades, and entered the field of vision of Chinese people through various "popular science magazines" at the end of the last century......

In fact, a large number of countries and scientific research organizations have collected a large amount of evidence to prove that the U.S. lunar landing program is indeed true - the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency photographed the surface of the moon in 2008 that is almost exactly the same as that captured by the Apollo 15 mission; India's Chandrayaan-2 photographed the landing area of the Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module; Vasily Mishin, the head of the Soviet Union's manned lunar landing program, also admitted that the Soviet Union had spied on the American lunar landing program and believed that the Americans had indeed landed on the moon......

On September 9, 2002, Bart Seabrell, a "moon landing fraudist," intercepted and harassed Aldrin, the second astronaut to set foot on the moon, near Beverly Hills, publicly accusing Aldrin of "lying about the moon mission" and "you are a coward, a liar, and a thief." Aldrin, who was 72 years old at the time, couldn't bear it anymore after being provoked so much that he threw himself a heavy punch to the chin and knocked him to the canvas.

If one day the mainland astronauts are also provoked and harassed by conspiracy theorists, let alone the astronauts themselves, the angry crowd of onlookers may be enough for him to drink a pot.
