American astronaut Armstrong1961On May 25th, American President Kennedy announced to Congress that he would send an American to the moon and return to Earth within 10 years. This is the famous American Apollo moon landing program in the 20th century.
This plan was put forward at that time to meet the challenge of Soviet space technology.
However, since the 1970s, people have always suspected that landing on the moon was just a scam directed by the US government. Sceptics believe that at that time, the United States was always at a disadvantage in the space race with the Soviet Union. At that time, when the technical conditions were not available, the American government directed a scam of Americans landing on the moon for the first time to revive national prestige and deceive international public opinion.
Others openly suspect that the whole Apollo moon landing program itself is a big scam, and humans have never landed on the moon. According to a poll conducted by Gallup in the United States at 1999, 6% of Americans doubt whether Apollo's landing on the moon really happened.
In mid-July, 2000, Mexico's Perpetual Weekly published the article "The Biggest Forgery in the 20th Century". The author, Russian researcher Alexander Goldov, questioned the photos taken on the moon in the United States 3 1 years ago, which immediately attracted readers' close attention.
Goldov believes that all photos and video recordings taken by American astronauts on the moon were made in Hollywood studios. His main reasons are as follows:
First, the photos taken by Apollo astronauts on the surface of the moon have no stars in the background. The moon was not covered by the atmosphere, and the sky was dark. Where did the stars go?
Second, the shadow left by the object in the photo is multi-directional, while the shadow formed by sunlight on the object should be in one direction.
Third, the stars and stripes inserted on the moon in the video recording are flying with the wind. There is no air on the moon, so it is impossible for the wind to blow up the flag.
Fourth, seeing astronauts walking on the surface of the moon is just like walking on the ground. In fact, the gravity on the moon is much smaller than that on the earth, so every step on the moon is equivalent to a person crossing 5 ~ 6 meters on the earth.
Goldov said that he did not deny the feat of American astronauts landing on the moon. He believes that American astronauts were close to the surface of the moon at that time, but failed to land on the moon for technical reasons. However, in order to show its achievements and overwhelm the spirit of the Soviet Union, the United States forged a number of moon landing photos and a documentary, deceiving and deceiving the world for decades.
On 2001February 15, the American Fox TV station broadcast a conspiracy theory: Did we land on the moon? By interviewing "experts" and presenting "evidence", NASA finally "revealed" the truth of the fake Apollo landing on the moon in the Nevada desert in the 1960s and 1970s.
However, more people think it is impossible to fake Apollo landing on the moon. The most conclusive evidence is more than 300 kilograms of moon rocks brought back by previous landings. Moon rocks are very unique and different from earth rocks in many ways.
In addition, the American media is so powerful that if the American government cheats, it is impossible to keep it a secret for so long.
While various parties were arguing endlessly, the United States held a ceremony at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Museum in Washington on July 20th, 1999 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon. This also somewhat expresses the attitude of the US government towards the debate. However, neil armstrong, who set foot on the moon for the first time, refused to attend any press conference, and refused to sign or take photos, while the first man on the moon was so silent, which made people even more puzzled.
In this way, the truth of landing on the moon is still an unsolved mystery. Only the United States government has proved that it landed on the moon. Anyone who tells a big lie will easily admit his mistake. Goldov, the most authoritative rebuttal, is Russian. Who knows how many political or personal factors are involved? To solve this mystery, more materials and participants are needed to prove it.
