Facts About The First Human Landing on the Moon

On July 20th, we will celebrate 48 years of human landing on the Moon. But perhaps many do not know that there is a theory that is often called the great moonhoax theory that says that humans have never landed on the moon. NASA cleverly made lunar photos and recordings in a studio in Nevada. Is the statement true? Is the moon landing just an ingenious engineering? In this post will be described the arguments of the pro camp against the truth of landing Neil Armstrong et al in the month 48 years ago.

In May 1961, President Kennedy made a historic speech, "I believe that this nation should commit itself. To achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth..."

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong set foot for the first time on the moon to fulfill Kennedy's dream. But in 1974, a man named Bill Kaysing published a book entitled "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle". The contents say that America has faked landings on the moon. The results of his investigation are based on the irregularities in the recording and photographs released by NASA.

Since then, the conspiracy theory of moonlanding landing (the great moonhoax / moonlanding hoax). Some books were written after Kaysing's book, proposing the same idea. After that books or sites that defend the landing on the moon also appear. However, the defense has never been discussed as much as conspiracy theories.

This time will be presented answers to the allegations of counterfeiting. In fact many of the questions asked by Kaysing et al, but in this post, there are only some questions most frequently discussed in cyberspace and provide the answer. Here are some questions and answers.

Van Allen Belt Radiation

Q: To reach the moon, astronauts have to traverse Van Allen's almost impossible radiation belt.

A: The Van Allen belt was first discovered by James Van Allen in 1958. The belt consists of particles and cosmic radiation captured by the earth's magnetic field.

According to proponents of conspiracy theorists, it would not be possible to cross the radiation belt. But the data show another. NASA had calculated everything before flying man to the moon. They invest considerable time and money to research this risk. Finally, they concluded that the radiation carries only minimal risk. It took about an hour for Apollo to pass the radiation belt. The total dose of radiation received by astronauts due to radiation was only 1 brake. A person may experience pain when given a dose of 100-200 brakes and death at doses above 300 brakes.

Moreover, the belt stretches at 40 degrees Latitude and 20 degrees above and below the magnetic equator. Whereas Wahana carrying Apollo only moves in position 30 degrees. So the astronauts are only exposed to minimal radiation.

Stars in the sky

Q: On the moon landing photos, there are no stars in the sky. this indicates that the photo is fake.

A: This question is the most easily answered question. First, the astronauts are not into the moon to take photos of the stars. Therefore the camera is set with short exposure to avoid over-exposed images. The bright moon surfaces also require that the camera is set up like that. With such a suit, stars will not get caught on camera. However, the surface of the moon will be caught clearly.

Shadows that lead in different directions

Q: In the landing photos on the moon, some photos show the direction of the shadow is not uniform. This shows more than one source of lighting, like in a studio. Is not the sun the only source of light on the moon?

A: The surface of the moon is covered by craters, rocks, and bumps, not a flat surface. Therefore, the light touching the uneven surface will be seen to veer in all directions, depending on the surface conditions. If the surface rises, the shadow will appear shorter, if the surface decreases, then the shadow will be elongated. If we shoot from the top, perpendicular, then the shadow will be seen pointing in the same direction. But because the photo is taken not from the top, then the shadow will be seen heading in different directions.

Moreover, If NASA faked it by making recordings in studios that have more than one light source (studio light), then the shadow of an object will appear more than one.

The footprint of Edwin Aldrin

Q: Edwin Aldrin left such perfect footprints as if the surface of the moon had soil dust mixed with water. If the surface of the moon is dry, how could it have been so perfect, let alone the moon's gravity is only 1/6 of the earth. People weighing 200 kg would not be able to leave a trace like that.

A: The moon's dust consists of particles formed from collisions with asteroids and micrometeorites. Each particle forms a dust that has a rough and jagged surface. This causes the footprints to form well without water. Moreover, most of the moon's surface consists of silica, a unique material that can stick to each other and form long molecular chains. On earth, such traces cannot be created because there is an oxidation process, where oxygen will soon fill up molecular chain flakes, but on the moon, there is no oxygen so that perfect footprints can be created.

Regarding weight and gravity, the weight on the moon will be 1/6 the weight on earth. But we know that MASSA is always the same everywhere in the whole universe (Newton's formula, weight = mass x gravity). This is what caused Aldrin to make such a trace.

Flag flying

Q: If there is no wind in the moon, why in the photo, the flag is flying?

A: Surely this question is rather strange. How can we see a flag flying from a photo? The answer to this question is so simple. NASA has thought about it. They wanted a heroic photo with a clearly visible American flag, so they installed a small horizontal pipe on the pole. This causes the flagpole to be in the form of an inverted L letter. The flag is suspended by horizontal pipes and the wrinkles on the flag create a fluttering effect.

The crater caused by NASA's Wahana

Q: Does not Lunar Lander spend up to 10,000 pounds, why at the time of landing and departure, there is no crater created on the moon. Would not that much power be enough to make a hole, like a helicopter landing in the desert.

A: The answer is because Lunar Lander activity mostly occurs before the lunar landings. Thousands of feet above the surface of the moon, Lunar Lander reduces the power of its bursts to just 3,000 pounds. His strength is subtracted again while remaining a few feet above the surface of the moon. So the crater is not possible to form on the surface of the moon. Moreover, the surface of the moon is not only composed of dust, but hard materials called Lunar Regolith. So, of course, there will be no crater formed.

Objects that should look dark

Q: On some photographs, like an astronaut descending from Lunar Lander, astronauts should not be seen at all because they are covered by Lunar Lander, but the photo shows even the most amazing detail. Is not this proof that the photo is fake?

A: The answer is simple. Because the moon's surface reflects light and this light provides additional light to the object. It is estimated that the moon reflects light at 340 lumens per square foot. This is equivalent to incandescent light as bright as 35 watts. This light will reflect on the shooting results.

In addition to the answers to the above questions, there are other arguments in favor of the truth of the moon landing. For example, NASA not only once sent humans to the moon. NASA sent Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 to the moon. Apollo 13 failed to land but made it home safely (maybe you've seen the movie). If NASA faked the Apollo 11 landings, why should they send missions again to Apollo 17? Whereas after Apollo 11, human interest in the moon has diminished considerably. Many people who believe in Moonhoax theory say why after Neil Armstrong, no more landing to the moon. This is a misleading statement. Truly Total astronauts who landed and walked on the moon there were 12 astronauts (2 astronauts for each Apollo). After 1972 there was no mission to the moon because America experienced several recessions that caused NASA's budget to be cut by the American government.

In addition, astronauts carry a 382 kilogram lunar rock sample with more than 2,000 separate samples. The samples are currently being studied by scientists around the world. It is impossible for NASA to make artificial moon rocks because the moon rocks have unique characteristics in which they form in an environment without oxygen. To date, there are only 25 samples of the moon's meteorite (excluding 382 kg of samples taken home by astronauts). And the stone has been compared and it turns out to have the same characteristics.

At the launch of the Apollo 11 mission, there were about 3,500 journalists from all over the world at the Kennedy Space Center following the launching process until the moon landings back to earth, how did NASA deceive many journalists? Moreover, more than 400,000 employees work on the Apollo 11 project for nearly 10 years. How does NASA deceive such employees? or how can NASA invite 400,000 people to conspire to forge a landing on the moon?

Indeed, conspiracy theories that spread all over the world are only the result of one man, Bill Kaysing. And for some reason, sites and blogs around the world have never looked at the answers from NASA or the independent scientists who defended the landings.

Now the important question is do you believe humans have landed on the moon ??
