Fifty years ago, American astronauts landed on the surface of the moon and set the US flag on it. But to this day there are great doubts that Aldrin and Armstrong actually made that "big step for all of humanity." In popular culture, this conspiracy theory was called the "Lunar Conspiracy." Its supporters and opponents have been arguing for half a century about whether the Americans have been on an earth satellite. But, perhaps, the main question has so far remained unanswered: it is one thing to fool the townsfolk, but how did the States manage to mislead their main geopolitical adversary, who was supposed to expose the hoax and use it against the USA by the law of the genre?





Among the main arguments of the supporters of the “lunar conspiracy”: a flag waving in a vacuum, the absence of stars in the pictures, astronauts not jumping high enough, the moon’s surface too flat at the landing site and so on. Specialists have long given quite adequate explanations for these phenomena. For example, “star-striped” - could “ripple” not because of the wind in the pavilion, but because of some “damped vibrations”. The Americans did not jump too high on the moon because of the danger of falling and injuring an unreliable spacesuit in an airless space.

Photomontage traces on existing materials are explained by the widespread practice of retouching. In the end, some scenes could really be done in the pavilions to get the best propaganda picture. This in itself does not mean that there was no flight as such. After all, well-wishers put President Putin on the seabed of the amphora, so that he would find them with journalists, right? But this does not mean that real amphoras are not there.

There are doubts about the possibility technical the implementation of such a project. This is a very complex process, consisting of a “damn dozen” operations. First, the booster was supposed to bring the orbital module, then dock it with the lunar. Then they must fly to the moon, slow down in time, land safely on another planet, the crew carry out a certain mission on it. After joining the take-off stage, start, undock it in orbit, and begin returning to Earth. And there you have time to disconnect the descent vehicle, which should return the astronauts home safe and sound.

And that's all on the technologies of 1969-1972. And repeatedly. And without sacrifices. If so, then deserves respect. But still there is a possibility that in reality everything was a little different.

It is necessary to take into account the situation in which during the specified period economics USA and USSR. The space race devoured huge resources. Despite the demonstrative confrontation between the capitalist and socialist systems, on a number of issues Washington and Moscow were forced to cooperate, as a rule, behind the scenes. So, in the sixties, Khrushchev experimented so much in agriculture that the Soviet Union had to start buying grain from its direct adversary, the United States. Interestingly, in return, the States did not disdain to buy Soviet tractors and combines.

In space exploration, two superpowers went nostril to nostril. The first satellite to orbit and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin launched the USSR. The USA is ahead of us on the moon. And literally a few years later, Soyuz Apollo was launched, symbolizing peaceful cooperation in space between Washington and Moscow. After that, they forgot about the Moon for many decades.

If desired, this can be seen as a “contract”. The Kremlin could hypothetically close its eyes to some of the nuances of the American conquest of the moon in exchange for economic bonuses. All the same, the USSR was in the lead in space exploration, and Moscow was able to “throw a bone” to Washington, while avoiding unnecessary economic overstrain. Note that after the flight of Armstrong and Aldrin, the Soviet program was soon curtailed, despite its high degree of readiness. The reason was its extremely high cost.

If the Soviet leadership needed it, our cosmonauts would still fly to the moon, albeit second. But perhaps in the Kremlin then they themselves decided to “yield” and play along with the Americans? It is interesting that shortly before the start of Apollo 11, cosmonaut Frank Borman, who oversaw the United States, visited the USSRpolitical providing "the lunar program. The American guest visited all Soviet space tracking and long-distance communications stations. If the hypothesis of an “agreement” is true, then the Western partners so wanted to make sure that everything would go according to plan, “without noise and dust.”

Strictly speaking, what is written does not mean that the Americans were not on the moon. Maybe they flew, but not six times, but less. Perhaps the first steps on the moon were nevertheless made by astronauts from the USA, but not on July 20, 1969, but later.

The issue in popular culture remains debatable to this day.

    The United States then bought the USSR to cheat. The USSR gained access to the oil and natural gas markets of Western Europe and to technology. And the United States - the restoration of the battered honor of superpower and the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam with a complete loss in this war ...

    Immediately after Gagarin's flight into the "near" space, US President Kennedy came to NASA, gave a scolding there and warned that if America did not land its astronauts on the Moon in the coming years, he would drive this sharashka to the Edreni hair dryer, and then what was left for them to do .... It was then, by agreement between the USSR and the United States, that huge bonuses were provided to us, in the form of a relaxation of tension between our countries - we were allowed to supply oil and gas to Europe, since our geologists have discovered so many fields throughout Siberia and in the North, that they will be enough for us for centuries. Western investments came to our country, in the form of the construction of giant KAMAZ and VAZ plants, pipes and gas compressors were supplied to us by Europe, many agreements were signed in the area of ​​joint medicine, trade, space exploration and much more. The "iron curtain" began to rise gradually, and in return for all this, the Americans blew the whole world a fake about their flights to the moon, which could not have happened at that time with TEMI technologies, and even more so - to overcome the Van Allen radiation belt in foil spacesuits, and they "sat" on the moon, and "took off" from it, as in their own garden, and not 400 thousand kilometers from the Earth, and they docked there, and everyone is safe and sound, and leaving the lander on ground, immediately started dancing, spitting on any weightlessness there. Americans are a nation of liars and swindlers, and that says it all.

      I wrote everything correctly. I want to add. 2014 NASA officially recognizes the lack of "lunar" technology. NASA's latest documents on a halted Constellation return to the Moon by 2020 have revealed the fact that NASA is technically completely unprepared to send a human mission to the Moon. This means that today there is simply nothing to rely on from the famous Apollo program, and until recently this fact was taboo.

      Is There Any Hope For A Moon Base? (Is there any hope of finally building a lunar base? - NEXUS Magazine, Australia, 2014, August.

      http://www.aulis.com/moonbase2014.htm
      Here's the translation of this article - http://igor-grek.com/publ/hronos/nasa_no_apollo/8-1-0-7

      1. Why did the US government abandon the Constellation program by mid-2009?
      2. Where did Saturn launch vehicles go, where are the capsules for the safe return of the crew to Earth? That is, the Saturn-5 rocket, designed for flights to the moon, seems to be there. Just now, for some reason, it is not used.
      3. Why does NASA not have knowledge of the radiation environment outside Earth orbit? How did the Americans overcome the Van Allen belt and not die from radiation? Radiation from the sun is fatal to humans. Radiation is one of the main obstacles to space exploration. For this reason, both in a manned spacecraft and in a spacesuit on its surface, astronauts had to receive a lethal dose of radiation. However, they are all alive. Although, according to some estimates, to protect astronauts from cosmic radiation, the walls of the ship and the spacesuit are not less than half a meter thick, made of lead.
      4. Why is the heat shield of the returned capsule not created? Where did the technology for its creation go? Without proper thermal protection of the capsule, any manned flight to the Moon would be a one-way trip, that is, irrevocable.
      5. If, according to NASA's statements, F-1 propulsion engines with a thrust of 790tf were developed for Saturn, then why does the United States still do not have a rocket engine of the same power, which, allegedly, was used in the program of manned flights to the Moon and buys from Russian RD-180 engines with thrust of 390 tf.?

      If in 1969 there were such technologies to fly to the moon, back, but now there is no possibility ?! According to the "Constellation" program, they would fly, with good video, photographs and other paraphernalia, take a couple of kilograms of local soil, distribute or sell it, for millions of dollars to everyone, if everything went well in 1969, 13 Saturn rocket launches - 5 , 9 of them - to the Moon, all - successful. Moreover, this program spoke not only about flights, but also the creation of a base there.
      The absence of at least one important link in the chain of operations that make up the process of a manned moon visit - and the entire program becomes impossible.

    Why do we constantly try to prove that the Americans were on the moon? But they constantly ignore the display of evidence. Show the moonstone at least 100 grams and stop justifying the LIARS!

      There is 56 kg. lunar soil, including rather large samples that no probe could deliver (for example, the Soviet "Luna-15" delivered as much as 105 g). Falsification? Neither Western nor domestic scientists notice this falsification. Based on the logic of such articles, these scientists are either fools or scammers.
      For "Hurray for the Patriots" I advise you to read the article by the Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Head. laboratory of meteorics, GEOKHI RAS, MA Nazarov. Although especially stubborn ones will argue that he is a Russophobe or something like that.

    This material a year ago would make you think and doubt. But just recently, when Assange was handed out to special services, his friends posted material exposing the lunar program on the WikiLeaks resource. This video is even on YouTube. The most ridiculous shots are when astronauts on a self-propelled trolley travel along the "lunar surface" and the rattling of an internal combustion engine is heard. Really none of those present watched this video? It turns out that the lunar program is a grandiose deception and fooling of humanity.

    Curious how much money was ripped off by American taxpayers for this lunar program? Strange it turns out, money was written off for the exploration of the moon, but it all ended with video filming in the pavilion. And then where did this money go?

      And here is another of their many scams: where did the gold reserves of many European countries go, which stored it in the United States in underground casemates - storage facilities, in the basements of the twin towers in New York, which were blown up on September 11, 2001? Many American journalists tried to investigate this tragedy, but most of them are no longer in this world, while others were intimidated to death, and now this topic is considered taboo in the USA, or a long-term imprisonment ... And many European countries still cannot receive their "gold reserve", which was "temporarily" lent to the United States in exchange for the post-war Marshall Plan.

    The cosmonauts, the KGB-FSB, and the scientists say they flew, and the humanities, experts, are few.
    There are articles with detailed explanations for the dumb - but no. Hooray - the patriots just do not understand physics ...

      The cosmonauts, the KGB-FSB, and the scientists say they flew, and the humanities, experts, are few.

      They say that in Moscow hens are milked, but they came - they didn’t even find a tit. But seriously, evidence needs facts, not allegations citing the authorities of the KGB-FSB, businessman Leonov, etc. So, Americans believe in a visit to the moon, and their absence there is proved and proved. And they buy engines from Russia, and not fly their own. Their F-1 engine could not work due to its gigantic size (resonance). Their lunar module could not fly at all, and their rag spacesuits were not like radiation, they could not withstand cosmic vacuum. They sewed them not for flying. The monkey, flying out of the Van Allen belt (more than 500 km from Earth), died of radiation sickness immediately after returning. There are so many Lyapovs that it’s not physics, but lyrics that rule. hi

    The Saturn 5 rocket is still considered the record holder for carrying capacity, and its first stage engines are the most powerful. One single question: why can't they recreate a half-century old dvigun and create a new one from scratch? Where did the technology go? Our "old man" from the lunar program is alive and well, having given a whole generation of dviguns. Question two: where are the modern orbital images of the moon, where can you perfectly track the places of the declared landings? And the satellites hang over the moon, there is a reconnaissance of water-containing soils for a place for a permanent lunar base.

    Yes, no conspiracy about preferences is needed. Technically, everything is simple. I don’t believe that people flew. Too many technical mistakes and mistakes for this have been done. But the fact that they could send a simulator with a radio command information exchange system at that time is easy. There is nothing beyond. Even at that time they could put a tape recorder (a set of tape recorders) to simulate an exchange, and then ours could calmly listen to the broadcast and take radio exchange at face value. Even delays in the transmission and receipt of the signal will be correct, natural. I think, with a competent approach, even the majority of ordinary NASA experts could not have guessed about this, only a strictly limited number of people ..

    Putin answered this question when he was asked the question:

    Who will be the first to fly to Mars?

    And he replied that

    The automaton will fly first, since a living cell will not survive in outer space.

      And he said about landing on the moon - it was.

      The internet is full of articles with an analysis of all these objections. Technically, everything is very clear.

        "Old cosmonauts ....." - if you are talking about Alexei Leonov, then he has been working for a long time with American companies, and this obliged him to confirm these fake flights, and the Politburo for the sake of a grain and gas truce and relaxation of tension between the USSR and the United States, were ready for anything, and even for this American scam .. And, if you remember, the American scientists themselves said that in order to "pierce" the Van Allen radiation belt, a capsule for astronauts made of lead, with a wall thickness of about 1,5 meters, and then the spacecraft itself will weigh more than one hundred tons, with the declared load of the entire device with all stages, fuel, command module and descent vehicle, 68 tons ... Several years ago, the Americans were delighted with their new anti-radiation invention Mylar, but it was enough only for the "near" Space, and even then for a short time, and there is nothing to say about a more distant distance from the earth.

          1) They all said, not just Leonov. Personally met pcs. 5-8 interviews, and not a single one about the plot.

          2) I do not remember this. I remember, on the contrary, for some types of radiation, foil of any metal is enough. And wash your hands (such as Curie - lived for a long time, and prints on books are still noticeable).
          1,5 m - this is nonsense. A friend works with p. materials, this is not close there.

          3) Mylar - did not hear at all. And ours would be kicked in all likelihood, it would be for nothing.

              What engines do not order, if cheap and high-quality?
              And they are our fish, crabs, uranium, titanium, nickel, aluminum, steel, etc. take it. On the cheap. And what not to take if they sell? There have already been several trade wars in steel - they say, very cheaply, dumping.
              On titanium and aluminum - just recently walked. Type of sanction, but ... it's cheap!

              And those engines are expensive and poisonous. We flew, we spent the loot, that's enough. These are piece things.
              Greens will not let go now.
              We, too, actually refused toxic fuel. And it is more powerful than usual.
