Since the 1950s, humans have begun to set foot in space. In 1957, the Soviet Union took the lead in launching the first artificial satellite. In 1961, the Soviet Union sent the first astronaut Gagarin into space. Since then, the United States The two countries launched a space race that lasted for many years.

In that era, humans created many space miracles, such as launching a large number of probes and visiting 8 major planets in the solar system. Among them, the Voyager 1 launched by the United States in the 1970s It became the farthest probe ever launched by mankind. Around the 1970s, the United States also landed 12 astronauts on the moon six times.

According to the declassified A119 plan, after completing the Apollo 11 moon landing mission, American experts once envisioned conducting a nuclear test on the moon and producing an explosion effect visible to the naked eye on the ground.

At that time, NASA scientist Gary Latham proposed using unmanned rockets to transport nuclear bombs to the lunar surface, and then conduct nuclear explosion tests on the lunar surface.

However, in order to prevent the nuclear radiation dust produced on the moon after the explosion from floating to the earth through the gravitational system, the expert does not recommend that the moon be placed on the front side of the moon, which is what we see now. Instead of conducting experiments on the side of the moon, it is recommended to conduct experiments on the far side of the moon. But this will not achieve the publicity effect, so most experts still recommend detonating it on the front of the moon. By the way, due to tidal locking, only one side of the moon always faces the earth, and its front and back sides are fixed.

Coincidentally, the Soviet Union also had this idea at the time and wanted to conduct a nuclear explosion test on the moon. By detonating a super-large nuclear bomb, it would create a huge flash and dust on the moon's surface, creating a horrifying visual effect. . This radical idea was born out of a special period in which I wanted to show off my muscles.

Due to the possible impact of nuclear radiation on the earth, experts from the United States and the Soviet Union ultimately envisioned detonating a nuclear bomb at the moon's day-night line, and the effect of this would be more conspicuous than detonating a nuclear bomb on the front of the moon. .

Since the first nuclear bomb exploded, humans have carried out nuclear explosions underground, underwater, on the ground, and at high altitudes in order to make nuclear bomb technology more perfect. It is not surprising that such an idea arises from conducting nuclear explosion tests in space or even on the moon.

The moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. It is the only satellite of the earth. If you want to use nuclear explosions on the moon to create a shocking effect that is visible to the naked eye on the earth, you must use at least the Tsar hydrogen bomb. level nuclear bomb. On October 30, 1961, the Soviet Union detonated a hydrogen bomb with a yield of approximately 50 million tons on Novaya Zemlya. This was the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated by mankind. The power of the explosion should not be underestimated. The fireball produced during the explosion , can be seen from places as far as 1,000 kilometers away.

According to the rocket technology at the time, the United States and the Soviet Union were indeed capable of completing this idea at the time, but in the end they did not put it into action because the risk was too high. Just imagine, when transporting a super nuclear bomb to the moon, if there is any accident, such as a launch failure and the rocket not flying out of the atmosphere, the consequences will be very serious.

In addition, experts have demonstrated that there is no air on the moon, so mushroom clouds and long-term flashes cannot be formed. Detonating a nuclear bomb on the lunar surface can only blast a large crater. Even if a super-large-yield nuclear bomb is used, the effect will be far less. Not as shocking as on Earth.

Fortunately, this radical idea was not implemented at the time. If an accident occurred, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.

But the imagination does not stop there.

In 2002, Russian Vladimir Kruinsky came up with a very surprising idea: blow up the moon. He believed that the moon caused the earth's axis to tilt, causing the earth to tilt. There will be four seasons changes during the year, which make the climate unstable, so blowing up the moon can make the earth feel like spring all year round.

There is more than one person who has this idea. Someone in the Soviet Union proposed this idea at that time, and the American Alexander Abion also proposed a similar idea in 1991. Alexander Abion believes that if the moon is blown up, without the moon, the earth's axis will not tilt and wobble, the seasonal changes will disappear, and local extreme weather will disappear. He believes that this will improve human life on the earth. A matter of survival.

Have these "experts" really discovered a way to improve the earth's climate environment? However, the fact is exactly the opposite. It is the existence of the moon that allows the earth's axis to remain relatively stable when it rotates. On the contrary, after losing the moon, the tilt angle of the earth's axis will change frequently, which will intensify the occurrence of extreme climate, not to mention making the earth feel like spring all year round.

And this idea is not only wrong, it is also unrealistic and very dangerous.

To blow up the moon, the energy produced by the explosion must be greater than the moon's gravitational binding energy. After calculation, the gravitational binding energy of the moon is 1.24 10^29 J. This means that even if all the current nuclear bombs in the world are transported to the moon and detonated, it will only scratch an itch. It can be seen that the idea of ??blowing up the moon is just a fantasy and cannot be realized at the current level of human science and technology.

Moreover, most of the debris produced after blowing up the moon will inevitably hit the earth. This is not just a drizzle, but an unprecedented catastrophe, which may be far more harmful than 65 million years ago. The asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.
