NASA's successful moon landing 50 years ago

This is the real image taken by the last manned mission to the moon by NASA in 1972, Apollo XVII landed on the surface of the moon in the Taurus Littrow Canyon, where the two astronauts carried out three missions to the surface of the moon for a total of twenty-two hours and collected one hundred and ten kilograms of metessfully completing our last human mission to the moon in the 20th century, since then, we Since then, mankind has never landed on this planet, which is 380,000 kilometers away from us, and the Moon, again, has become the existence that we humans look up to.

After 60 years, NASA has officially announced a new manned lunar landing program, called Artemis. That is, a different manned mission to the moon will be carried out in 2024, and a different lunar base will be built in the future.

However, just recently NASA officially announced that the manned lunar landing program in 2024 will be postponed. In other words, NASA will not be able to carry out the mission of landing on the moon in 2024. You should know that now from the first time NASA carried out the mission to land on the moon has long passed half a century. This long time, NASA's space technology must be far more than 60 years ago. So why NASA was able to land on the moon 60 years ago, but now the technology is more advanced, but repeatedly postponed?

Is it because the technology to land on the m long been lost, or is it really a hoax, as some people think, that the U.S. moon Theears ago was a hoax?

In fact, the argument that the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 was a hoax has been spreading on the Internet, and some people have also raised several points of doubt about the Apollo 11 moon landing being a hoax.

The first point is why the flag appeared on the surface. of the moon swinging with the wind?

It is important to understand that there is almost a vacuum on the lunar surface, and therefore no wind, so why did the flag flutter with the wind?

The second point is that NASA released a photo of Apollo 11 astronauts working on the lunar surface, in the photo actually did not see the stars?

To under the presence of no atmosphere. re on the lunar surface, theoretically should be brighter than the stars seen on Earth, however, in these photos of the sky is a dark.

The third thought: t footprint oto should not be so obvious?

Because this is not the Earth. On Earth, we must step on very wet soil to have such a clear footprint. And there is no water on the surface of the moon, why can also step on this obvious footprints? In facttheseese 3 points are veryTheseted by the netizens.

The first is that the flag is not fluttering in the wind, there is a support pole at the top of the flag, using the F-shaped design scheme, and the signs of fluttering in the wind are due to the inertia of the astronauts walking around with the flag.

The 2nd problem of invisible stars. In fact, the surface of the moonset is generally day and night exist Apollo 11 landing was in broad daylight, and the sunlight was abundant, while the stars looked very dim in the sunlight. The camera could only capture the astronauts on the surface of the moon, but not the stars.

The third footprint problem, in fact, this footprint and the footprint left on the lunar surface, and not the first man on the moon Armstrong stepped on, but the same Apollo 11 astronaut Aldrin's footprint, the moon dust on the lunar surface due to the continuous collision of high-energy charged particles radiated by the sun, in the whole process of continuous collision, the moon dust will occur Electrostatic induction, while producing a puffy appearance. Stepping down in this puffy state will leave a clear and unmistakable footprint, thus, the Apollo 11 mission was a real thing in the last century. That is to say, NASA did go to the moon 50 years ago, so why not in the present day instead?

Although the latest official announcement from NASA is that it suffered from the adverse effects of the launch system technology and its Blue Origin lawsuit, which led to the postponement of the moon landing in 2024. However, when you look at the main factors, there are two main factors. The first factor is the difficulty factor. In the previous Apollo program, NASA's main tasks were to achieve a circumlunar flight, a manned landing on the Moon, a round-trip collection of lunar soil and driving a lunar rover on the Moon, etc. Ho, the weverdrivertemis program is not quite the same, it is not simply to carry out a manned mission to the Moon. Because it does not make sense for NASA, which already succeeded in landing on the Moon 50 years ago, to carry out another manned lunar landing. In addition to a manned lunar landing, Artemis would have to realize a long-term space base on the Moon and a permanent residency mechanism to provide direction for future manned missions to Mars. Thus, from, the manned mission to and from the Moon 50 from ago, the present Artemis work mission is much more difficult and technically challenging.

The second factor is the issue of financial resources. In fact, for all the space work mission is an immeasurable money-burning machine, the spending of hard cosmic exploration, it is likely to be more than a hundred years oren hundreds of years before it is possible to see the economic benefits. This is precisely the case with NASA today, where the immeasurable financial resources required to realize space bases have contributed to the likelihood that some of NASA's larger projects will be limited as a result.

Unlike the Apollo program, which was in the midst of a long and competitive space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was the first to achieve manned space flight at that time, and to achieve an advanced position in the space race with the Soviet Union, NASA undertook the largest manned lunar landing project in human history - the -The Apollo program.

It began in May 1961 and ended in December 1972 with the successful conclusion of the sixth lunar landing, which took about 11 years and cost a staggering $25.5 billion. At the peak of the project, more than 20,000 companies, more than 200 universities, and more than 80 research institutions participated in the project, with a total of more than 300,000 people.

Nowadays, the Artemis program is not comparable to the Apollo program, it does not have the same political mission as the Apollo program, and thus NASA cannot obtain the same abundant financial and human resources to carry out the mission as the Apollo program, and it is precisely this factor that has caused NASA to postpone the new manned lunar mission, and more countries will participate in the manned lunar mission in the future. The future of mankind will eventually be in the starry sea.
