Every time a new probe lands on the surface of the Moon, regardless of its country of manufacture, there is a discussion about whether American astronauts were there. This topic is especially relevant given the failure of the Luna-25 mission.
The Indian space program’s Chandrayaan-3 probe successfully landed on the surface of the Moon. Confirmation of this landing was received from Chandrayaan-2, which was orbiting the Earth’s satellite. It had taken a photograph of the landing site of the new probe. However, this photograph was removed from the ISRO space agency’s website without explanation. Despite this, India has shown remarkable success by safely executing the launch and delivering a top-notch mission. The lunar mission continues.
The first major discovery of this new mission was information about the temperature on the surface of the moon, which was found to be higher than previously thought. It was also found that electrified sandstorms occur on Earth’s natural satellite. Although at first glance these data may seem insignificant, they have aroused widespread interest for objective reasons.
The fact is that the above discoveries raise questions about NASA’s lunar program conducted in 1969-1972. This may mean that the landings of astronauts on the natural satellite of the Earth were not as they were imagined, and may even have been a hoax.
Based on data from Chandrayaan-3, the temperature at the Moon’s South Pole is over 70°C, which is several times higher than previously thought. Given that in this region of the Earth’s natural satellite solar activity is minimal and the glowing gas star is low above the horizon, the question arises as to how astronauts N. Armstrong and E. Aldrin, could have survived on the Moon in the summer of 1969 in such extreme conditions.
It makes one wonder if people, even those with a certain amount of experience and training, could have endured such extreme temperatures without health consequences. Perhaps all the astronauts who visited the moon were superheroes who could endure such conditions. But that’s not certain.
It is also worth noting that the Chandrayaan and Pragyan spacecraft have reported information about the presence of electrified dust storms on the Moon. This strong wind generates electrical energy on the surface of this celestial body under the influence of solar energy. These discharges pose a threat to both humans and the technical equipment of spacecraft.
Electrified dust rises from the surface of the Moon and interferes with visual observation, photography and video recording. It should be noted that for people on the Earth’s natural satellite it also creates difficulties in normal activities. It is interesting that neither N. Armstrong nor B. Aldrin mentioned such phenomena in their interviews.
Maybe they were just lucky and avoided encountering these features of the Moon? There are also questions about the authenticity of the photographs taken by the Americans on the surface of the terrestrial satellite. There is much debate about the location of the astronauts and the position of the Earth on the horizon, which logically should have been slightly different.
In 2020, China’s Chang’e 5 space station traveled to the Moon. Because of this, discussions about a possible space conspiracy have once again heated up on the internet. According to some experts, the Chinese mission exposed the American lunar program and showed that NASA astronauts were not sent to the Earth’s satellite, and all the footage was taken in a studio.
Chang’e 5 shot a video showing that the moon’s surface is covered with a thick layer of regolith dust consisting of tiny and very hard grains. This confirmed the hypothesis about the composition of the soil of the Earth’s satellite, which scientists put forward long before space missions.
It should be emphasized that the American mission to the Moon has been confirmed by other spacefaring nations. The first Indian lunar station Chandrayaan-1 in 2009 when circling the Earth’s satellite found traces of the crew of the Apollo 15 mission.
There are photographs of footprints from the American landing module that visited the moon in 1971. There are also pictures with distinct imprints of the wheels of special transport for the movement of astronauts on the surface of this celestial body. These tracks have remained almost unchanged over the years due to the lack of atmosphere and winds on the Moon.
Thus, there is convincing evidence that Americans have indeed visited the natural satellite of the Earth. Instead of endless arguments about space conspiracies, perhaps we should accept these facts and move on.
