July 20, 1969 is one of the most important dates in humanity’s history, as its “Apollo 11” mission NASA managed the first human step in Moon. The media and the whole world watched the breathtaking and this historic moment.
NASA’s space program, which began in 1967, aimed to achieve this mission to the Moon by the end of the decade, according to the vision of the President John Kennedy. On July 16, 1969, in Florida, more than a million people gathered to watch the launch, while millions were still in front of television receivers.
The three -member crew, consisting of the Neil Armstrong, Edut “Baz” Oldrin and Michael Collinstraveled to a Saturn V rocket aimed at the sea of tranquility. However, their course had many difficulties: the automatic navigation system was damaged during the flight. Armstrong took over the controller and managed to land the boat with little fuel.
As Armstrong stepped foot on the Moon at 9:56 pm on July 20, America’s time and in his statements, he made the historical comment: “A small step for man, a huge jump for humanity” Oldrin followed him and the two collected material, sent photos, placed the American flag and a plaque with a message of peace and love to the whole human race.
After a few hours of stay on the Moon, they returned to the spaceship and the return trip was successfully completed. On July 24, “Apollo 11” was adapted to the Pacific Ocean, successfully completing the first historical mission.
Astronauts remained under strict monitoring and, despite conspiracy theories and theories, this historical moment is widely regarded as the culmination of space exploration and the greatest success of human technology and will.
Conspiracy theories to send Apollo 11
Some of the most widespread conspiracy theories that have been developed from time to time as to whether human adhesion in 1969 was real or if it was a large construction:
Non -existence
One of the most widespread theories argues that hiring was essentially a cinematic production, and that the whole story of the human approach to the Moon was a great fraud. Supporters of this view argue that space material and photographs are falsified and that NASA has set up the whole scene with the help of the Hollywood industry.
Astronauts never pressed on the Moon
Another popular theory claims that astronauts were never found on the surface of the Moon and that the whole success was a very skilful directing. According to supporters, the astronauts had received orders to say that they had set their foot on the Moon, but in fact they were in a studio or other conditions of controlled misinterpretation.
Doubts about light and shadows in photos
Conspiracy theorists point out strange shadows and lighting in the images and videos from the Moon, arguing that they show that the shots were shot indoors or in studios with strange lighting, rather than a natural environment.
Failed to verify from the Soviets
In addition to challenging the events, some argue that if the care was real, the Soviet Union, which was in space competition with the US, would have revealed the false elements. Some believed that the Soviet Union could confirm or prove fraud, but that never happened.
Difficulties and adverse conditions
The challengers note technical difficulties in the evidence and statements of astronauts, arguing that technical difficulties and possible failures would be difficult to keep hidden.
It is a fact, however, that despite the great discussion and theories, the overwhelming majority of scientists, scientific organizations and historians agrees that human hiring was a fact, not a video tape or false construction. Proofs from space missions, lunar material and technical confirmations are powerful data that support the truth of the mission.
