Ardent opponents of American flights to the moon. NASA-independence. When will the United States stop flying into space on "unions"? NASA "catches a private trader"

American surfers I walked out of Tocopia and walked along the road along the ocean, wondering why no one wanted to give me a lift. And the reason turned out to be banal - the road there went past a huge maximum security prison, fenced with several rows of barbed wire.

Chapter 6 Gifts of the Unknown: Life in Space scientific world: at a time when mankind, with bated breath, watched how quite recently an unknown cosmic body, having crashed in the sky over Chelyabinsk, covered our planet with millions of

This is clearly visible in this picture. We continue to watch the video. At 4:10 - attention! At 4:14, the torch of flame from the 1st stage engines suddenly disappears! And at the same 4:14 suddenly a powerful explosion! It turns out that it was the powder boosters that worked, which were oriented to the spent first stage with the nozzles forward. This is for braking the shot first stage - so as not to interfere.

And then you can see how the first stage is disconnected from the second. These are footage at 4:18. Next, the 2nd stage hydrogen engines turn on - an almost colorless blue flame from 4:18, the Apollo flies with the second and third stages. I was alerted by the fact that there is no torch from the second (hydrogen) stage! And so on until 4:58, when the connecting ring between the second and first steps is fired. At 5:01, a rescue module is fired from the nose. This is where the fragment cited by me ends, followed by frames of congratulations to each other from employees of the American Mission Control Center. By the way, it is also alarming, but why are they so happy and congratulate each other? Just think, something was launched into low orbit. The main difficulties that NASA has never faced (never once (!)) - they are still ahead! And they rejoice ... In general, they are somehow professionally rejoiced. And what were they doing at MCC all this time? On the video - only looked through binoculars. This is when launching into orbit! Why is this MCC needed at all then?

There are questions left.

1) From 4:18, when the Apollo is flying on the 2nd stage, the torch is not visible. That is, it is not at all visible, as if the engines do not work at all.

2) Up to the launch into orbit (this is the moment when they began to show joy at the MCC), there is no separation of the second stage.

I answer myself.

On the first question - perhaps this is typical for the operation of hydrogen engines. This can be seen on the video with the flight of the shuttles. After dropping the boosters, the shuttle's hydrogen engines turn on - and no torch, just a bright spot, if you look at the nozzles from behind. In our video, we are looking at the Apollo from the side, the nozzles are not visible, maybe the J-2s are working ... But still, something does not fit ... Look - at 4:18, the torch is still visible! A translucent light blue plume, typical for the operation of a hydrogen engine. And at 4:21 is visible! And then - no.

On the second question. With a stretch, you can explain the hacky editing of the video. That is, the joy of the MCC is mounted at the moment when the second and third steps have not yet separated. But, then an even bigger question is why should these filmmakers be substituted like that? Well, they are creative humanists, okay, but did any of the experts actually watch this video?

There is also a third question.

3) If this is an orbit (well, they congratulate each other at the MCC), then why is it shot from the nose in orbit, in the direction of travel, the rescue module starts to lag behind after a while? We are in orbit, the engines are off, everything is purely by inertia. Why is the fragment lagging behind?

Maybe because it blows back with air? And, since the air, it means there is no normal orbit! At best, something suborbital!

In short, Dr. Popov with like-minded people believes that now all this bundle is on the road straight to the Atlantic Ocean.

In this mysterious topic, there are as many "although" as "by the way" ... Therefore, although ... If this is still not an orbit, but a filmmakers' hack, then at that time the hydrogen engines of the second stage with a colorless torch are working. And that means acceleration. Here the fired module lags behind.

On May 5, 1961, American astronaut Alan Shepard made the first suborbital flight in the United States on the Mercury spacecraft.
Alan Shepard will forever remain in the memory of his compatriots as a fearless test pilot, as the first American in space, as a person who, for medical reasons, was removed from space training, but was able to overcome his illness and visit the surface of the moon. Alan Shepard was born November 18, 1923 in East Derry, New Hampshire. In 1944, after graduating from the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, he became a Navy officer. He was awarded the title of pilot in 1947. In this capacity, Shepard served with the 42nd Fighter Squadron in Norfolk. In 1950 he entered the Naval Test Pilot School at Patuxent River in Maryland. Served as School Instructor. After graduation naval college in Newport in 1957 he was appointed to the staff of the commander of the Atlantic Fleet as an aircraft training officer. Shepard was included in the NASA astronaut corps in 1959. On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American to fly suborbitally on the Mercury spacecraft. The capsule reached an altitude of approximately 186.5 kilometers and landed in the waters of the US Atlantic Missile Range, 486 kilometers from the launch point. After the flight, Shepard prepared as an understudy for Gordon Cooper for the launch on the Mercury 9 spacecraft. But in 1963, Shepard was diagnosed with Meniere's syndrome (a disease of the inner ear), and the astronaut was suspended from further training. In 1969, Shepard managed to find a doctor who successfully operated on him. After that, Shepard began preparations for the flight to the moon. In 1971, at the age of 47, Alan Shepard completed his second space flight as commander of Apollo 14, which was the third successful American expedition to the moon. The flight duration was nine days. Shepard spent 33 hours and 30 minutes on the lunar surface, including twice outside the lander. Together with Edgar Mitchell, Shepard first tried a mobile equipment transporter (trolley) on the Moon. Shepard became the fifth American to set foot on the lunar surface, and the only one who thought of playing golf on the moon. Awarded the Navy Distinguished Flying Cross, Navy Distinguished Service Medal, US Congressional Space Medal of Honor, two NASA Distinguished Service Medals, NASA Exceptional Service Medal. Shepard died on July 21, 1998 in a hospital in the California city of Monterey from leukemia.

Talk that Apollo is a scam, in which the launches of Saturn-5 launch vehicles were real at best, started already in December 1968, during the flight of Apollo-8 around the moon. The campaign to expose the Apollo begins in 1974 with the release of the first book on the subject, We Never Went to the Moon: A Thirty Billion Fraud by Bill Kaising and Randy Reid. Moreover, Kaising worked at the Rocketdyne company, where engines for the Saturn-5 were manufactured. This fact gave special weight to his opinion.

The theory of falsification of the lunar program of the United States received the most vivid expression in feature film"Capricorn-1", filmed in the same USA in 1978. He talked about how NASA faked the flight with the help of special effects. True, not to the Moon, but to Mars, but the hint was obvious.

The well-known American film director Stanley Kubrick, the author of "Space Odyssey - 2001", admitted that, by order of NASA, he imitated some alleged episodes of the astronauts' activities on the Moon in the film studio. But there is no malicious intent here: NASA just wasn't sure that the TV broadcast from the surface of Selena would be of high enough quality to give viewers an idea of ​​what the astronauts were doing there. So the agency recreated on Earth what should have happened on the Moon.

The most famous Russian author, Yuri Mukhin, wrote the book Anti-Apollo: The US Lunar Scam. A relatively new argument in anti-Apollo conspiracy theories concerns the engine. If the United States was really able in the mid-1960s to create such a powerful oxygen-kerosene engine as the F-1 (there were five of them on Saturn-5), then why did they then turn to Russia in the late 1990s with a request sell them almost half as powerful RD-180, also running on oxygen and kerosene?

Isn't this confirmation that the Saturn 5 was actually a flying "rattle", the purpose of which was to give the impression of a super-powerful carrier, supposedly capable of delivering people to the moon?

They flew to the moon, but the films were lost ...

Causes serious suspicions and that circumstance. that, together with the original video recording of the first steps of people on the moon, the films with the telemetry recording of the operation of the lunar module systems and the data on the health of Armstrong and Aldrin transmitted to Earth during their stay on the moon also disappeared: a total of about 700 boxes with various kinds of films . However, according to Florida Today, film and television evidence is missing not only for the Apollo 11 mission, but for all eleven flights of the Apollo program, including near-Earth, near-lunar, and landing. In total - 13,000 films.

Lies to Save the Nation

Americans are such a people that fooled, fooled and wakes to fool all of humanity. Of course, among them there are many honest people who do not want to hide the truth. But they can not be attributed to the "pioneer" North Pole American Robert Peary. Only in 1970, a camp was found in Greenland, where Piri sat for two months, not intending to go to the pole. And then he came and told everyone that he was there. Piri's diaries, found in the parking lot, told about everything.

But who cared then? The road is a spoon to dinner ... The train has already left, and now the Americans will be forever proud of their Piri - the "discoverer" of the North Pole. Until now, in some geography textbooks, one can read that the first person to visit the North Pole was the American Robert Peary. So it is now, all space passions remained in the 20th century, so the Americans will forever remain the people who first set foot on the moon.

Ambitious America, which considered itself the greatest country in the world, could not bear the space successes of the USSR.

President Kennedy had no choice but to presumptuously declare:

“By the end of the decade, we will land on the moon. Not because it's easy, but because it's difficult."

America, busy bombing Vietnam, threw insane money on the Great Task - to wipe the nose of the Russians.

And in 1969, in the presence of almost a million people gathered at the cosmodrome, a super-powerful hulk, the Saturn-5 launch vehicle, launched live.

She carried the Apollo spacecraft and three astronauts. "Apollo" flew up to the Moon, the lander separated from it, which landed safely on the moon, and Neil Armstrong got out of the capsule, saying the prepared: “This is a small step for a man, but a huge step for all mankind” .

For some reason, the eyes of an American do not shine with happiness, like those of our Yuri. Astronauts who have been on the moon are extremely taciturn and do not seek meetings, unlike our sociable astronauts. Armstrong generally lived in a castle with a descending bridge. So 82-year-old Neil Armstrong took his secret to the grave on August 24, 2012.

The world applauded. The Americans set up their flag, collected stones, took pictures, filmed a movie ...

Then the capsule took off from the lander, docked with the Apollo, then - a safe splashdown in the Pacific Ocean and an American triumph for all time.

A triumph, but the mother-in-law does not believe!

It was the name day of America, she went crazy with happiness, neither before nor after did the Americans rejoice like that. Then there were five more successful expeditions ...

Of the Soviet space minds, no one doubted, except for the General Designer Mishin, who replaced the deceased Korolev. During the live report, he smoked all the time and repeated:

“It’s impossible, Apollo won’t be able to break away from the earth’s orbit and head towards the moon…”

One must think he knew what he was saying ... But then the cheerful voice of the American commentator said: "Apollo has left Earth's orbit and is heading for the Moon" . Mishin could not understand anything, got up, left, slamming the door ... He realized that the Americans are smarter than us. We all believed it, but my wise mother-in-law would never believe it.

Then, more and more often, the voices of skeptics began to be heard, claiming that there were no flights to the moon, but there was a hoax. The American space agency NASA twirled a finger at the temple and declared that it would not discuss this issue with anyone. Why argue with cretins? And such cretins turned out to be journalists and their fellow bloggers ...

From the fundamental works, the book by Y. Mukhin first came out "Anti-Apollo" .

A recently published work by physicist A. Popov "Great Breakthrough or Space Scam" represents a huge amount of analyzed facts, which can be dismissed only by the Main Argument In All Disputes - You don’t understand anything!

The blogosphere is divided into three unequal parts: skeptics; fans of Americans; and the most numerous wise comrades - those who do not care.

Stubborn whys

— Why are the shadows cast by the stones clearly converging at an angle, while the shadows from the Sun are always parallel? Spotlight in the studio?

- Why is the surface of the moon illuminated unevenly, while the Sun should flood everything equally? Not enough lighting fixtures?

- Why is a crushed cockroach visible in the photograph of Armstrong's footprint?

- Why do astronauts jump 50 cm on film frames, while they should jump 2 meters?

- Why, when every gram of roads had to be transferred to an electric car (rover) and ridden on it?

- Why is the dust from under the wheels of the rover swirling like in the air.

- Why do the shadows give the estimated height of the Sun 30 degrees, while it was at that time at an angle of 10 degrees?

- Why is the astronaut clearly visible even when the Sun shines directly at his back? Backlight?

Why are there no stars in the lunar sky?

- Why did the engines of the landing module have to sweep away tons of dust from its place (Armstrong wrote: “We raised the dust hundreds of meters”), and under the nozzles of the engines the dust is pristine, as if the module was put by a truck crane? Etc.

Skeptics of lunar flights argue that astronauts' spacesuits on the moon, 80 centimeters thick, can serve as a salvation from radiation.

- One American specialist generally claims that the radiation belt around the Earth is insurmountable for a living being.

- During the "flight" to the moon, Armstrong wanted to go out into space for some kind of sting. Footage of Armstrong's spacewalk is exactly the same as astronaut Shepard's spacewalk footage from the Gemeni spacecraft three years earlier. Only in mirror image and slightly changed color.

- Footage of how the Earth gradually decreases in size as the Apollo moves away from it - a cartoon made from a single photograph.

- "The moon is approaching" - a similar cartoon.

- A spectacular movie of flying over the Moon, when the shadow runs over the craters - shooting a huge lunar globe that NASA has.

- The lunomobile, in size, cannot fit into a capsule, even when folded.

- In the preparation of "flights to the moon" died in car accidents and otherwise 11 astronauts. Sad record. Shut the mouths of those who disagree?

launch vehicle

Launch vehicle "Saturn-5"

Some conspiracy theorists believe that the Saturn V rocket was never ready to launch, and make the following arguments:

After a partially unsuccessful test launch of the Saturn-5 rocket on April 4, 1968, a manned flight followed, which, according to N.P. Kamanin, was “the purest adventure” from the point of view of safety.
In 1968, 700 employees of the Marshall Space Research Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where the Saturn V was being developed, were fired.
In 1970, in the midst of the lunar program, the chief designer of the Saturn-5 rocket, Wernher von Braun, was relieved of his post as director of the Center and removed from the leadership of rocket development.
After the end of the lunar program and the launch of Skylab into orbit, the remaining two rockets were not used for their intended purpose, but were sent to the museum.
The absence of foreign cosmonauts who would fly on the Saturn-5, or would work on the superheavy object launched by this rocket into orbit - the Skylab station.
The lack of further use of F-1 engines or its descendants on subsequent missiles, in particular, the use instead of them on the powerful Atlas-5 rocket.

The version about NASA's failures in the issue of creating hydrogen-oxygen engines is also being considered. Supporters of this version claim that the second and third stages of the Saturn V had kerosene-oxygen engines, like the first stage. The characteristics of such a rocket would not be enough to launch an Apollo with a full-fledged lunar module into a lunar orbit, but it would be enough for a manned spacecraft to fly around the Moon and drop a greatly reduced model of the lunar module to the Moon.

Photoshop made its way to the moon

Retouched NASA image in original and gamma corrected form. After gamma correction, digital retouching of the scanned image appears on the photo.

Retouched NASA image in original and gamma corrected form. After gamma correction, digital retouching of the scanned image appears on the photo.

The main debunker of this whole lunar production turned out to be ... Photoshop. After all, no one knew that 30 years after the "landing on the moon" there would be this damned computer program for processing images. When, with the help of it, the maximum brightness and contrast were added to the photographs, instead of the absolute black sky, painted backdrops appeared in the pictures, on which stripes of light from searchlights and shadows from astronauts became clearly visible. And traces of retouching were literally everywhere. The picture was especially touching: an astronaut at the American flag, directly above the flag - a distant Earth. With an increase in brightness-contrast in the lunar sky, the astronaut's shadow became clearly visible, and the Earth turned out to be a cardboard circle,

And then even cunning mathematicians, by combining two photographs taken with a pause of several seconds (hence, the camera shifted 20 centimeters to the side), calculated the distance to the lunar mountains, which are visible behind the astronauts. According to the globe, they are 5 kilometers away, according to measurements - 100 meters. The back, with painted mountains, definitely. And the line between the sandbox and the backdrop is very clearly visible ...

Then the fans of the Americans admitted through their teeth: “Well, yes, something was filmed in Hollywood for clarity. It's the Americans. But on the moon they were, were, were!

What color is the moon? According to NASA - the Moon is gray, according to Soviet scientists - brown. On December 15, 2013, the Chinese space mission Chang'e-3 transmitted images from the moon: The moon is brown! Here, NASA supporters (Vitaly Yegorov, aka Zelenyikot) caught on and came up with an explanation: “the white balance was not corny on the cameras.” This video proves that NASA supporters are wrong.

To the moon - without preparation?

The hundred-meter hulk Saturn-5 was supposed to deliver a module with a capsule to the moon, a three-story building high. The first test of the rocket with stretches was called successful. But during the second unmanned takeoff, the rocket wobbled and exploded.

A fragment of the program "Postscript" with Alexei Pushkov from 09/30/2017

Yale University Professor David Gelernter, Science Advisor american president, denies even the very possibility that the Americans were on the moon. And he argues...

“How can we organize a mission to Mars by an American team by the mid-2030s if we haven’t even been to the Moon? The idea itself is ludicrous, as is the entire Obama administration."— said the scientist. — "Apollo's lunar landing is a hoax in human history worse than global warming."

What is the logical conclusion in such cases? That's right, you need to test the rocket in unmanned mode until it starts flying like a clock. Then, again, without pilots, you need to send it to the Moon with its help and do all the necessary operations. It is clear that there should be many tests and, according to statistics, half of them will fail.

But the Americans are sending three astronauts to the moon in three weeks. Apollo 8 flew around the Moon remarkably well and returned to Earth beautifully. Also, Saturn-5 let us down by throwing Apollos-9, 10 to the Moon. And then it was Apollo 11's turn with Armstrong and the others. And everything is like clockwork. The most sophisticated space technology suddenly refused to fail. What god helped the Americans?

The lander has never landed on the moon without people. The landing capsule, accordingly, did not take off.

Nevertheless, all six American expeditions to the moon went off without a hitch. According to the theory of probability, this simply could not be

Our lunar rocket took off four times and exploded four times, after which the Soviet program was closed, since the Americans "were ahead of us anyway."

And it was supposed to first send two lunar rovers to our satellite. They had to carefully examine the landing site and choose the most even one. For with an inclination of more than 12 degrees, the lander will either not land or the capsule will not take off from it.

Then a spare rocket was supposed to land on the radio beacons from the lunar rovers. If she landed safely, the lunar rovers would examine her for the fact that she could safely launch from the moon. Only then would you launch the module with ONE astronaut. The second cosmonaut, and also the lunomobile, is an unaffordable luxury when every gram counts.

The Americans, however, did not touch these little things. After all, they were kept by the cosmic God.

Fantastic landing accuracy

And in one more question, the Americans wiped our nose - exactly the landing (splashdown). During landing, Gagarin was blown away for hundreds of kilometers, he was searched for almost a day from helicopters. And then the hits were not much closer.

But the splashdown accuracy of the American returnable capsules was from 2 to 15 kilometers. Amazing result. Our teeth gnashed with envy ... And only by the end of the 80s it became clear that, according to the laws of physics, landing with an accuracy of more than 40 kilometers was unattainable. But in the 60s, no one knew this yet.

Stones were collected on the moon. Where do you share?

And further. The Americans together "collected on the moon" as much as 400 kilograms of soil. The Soviet automatic station "Luna-16" brought only 100 grams. When the Americans were offered to exchange samples for research, they dragged on for almost three years, and only in 1972 they gave us as much as ... 3 grams.

Skeptics claim that it was then, finally, that the Sekveyer automatic station secretly flew to the moon and brought the same 100 grams of lunar powder. And no one has ever seen those 400 kilos of moonstones, they are kept behind seven locks and are not issued to anyone.

In total, the Americans gave us 28 grams of regolith - lunar sand, which three of our automatic stations delivered about three hundred grams. Moonstone - none!

There was a case. when a pebble was presented to a prince, but after the death of the prince, this pebble turned out to be a piece of petrified wood.

Fragment of the program "Postscript" with Alexei Pushkov from 12/23/2017

Tracked down, tracked down, but not tracked down

The Americans, like the gypsies who inflate a horse with air in order to sell it, fictitiously increased the size of the launch rocket. A. Popov made out the takeoff of the Saturn-5 rocket in frames. And here's what I found. A quarter of a second before the separation of the first stage, a bright explosion occurs on the surface of the rocket. And for a hundredth part, it becomes clear how the outer case of this hulk collapsed, under which a body much smaller than the much less powerful American Saturn-1 rocket was found.

All the same evil tongues suggested that the Americans simply increased the size of Saturn-1 with the help of a casing. When she took off and disappeared from sight, her remains fell into the ocean.

Unfortunately, our prominent specialist and honored cosmonaut, respected Alexei Leonov, like everyone else, fell for the American lure of deceit. He fiercely defends the Americans and repeats all the time: “We tracked all stages of the Apollo flight. Alas, not tracked ...

Our space specialists followed the flight as well as the whole world, i.е. according to the "picture" provided by NASA. Only two Soviet scientific vessels that were in the Atlantic Ocean could follow the takeoff of Saturn-5. So, an hour before the “takeoff”, our ships were surrounded by the American Navy, helicopters, which turned on the jammers at full power.

Kennedy's Plans Failed

Yes, in the beginning the Americans honestly and enthusiastically took up the realization of Kennedy's dream. But a few years later, having threatened 25 billion, they were convinced that this was still impossible. We need more weeks-months-years, billions-billions... And the Russian turtles have already circled the moon. How could this be explained to taxpayers, to Congress?

And then NASA and the CIA created the Great Hoax during the period cold war.

Of course, many of us would like the Russian tricolor to be the first flag set on the Moon.

But, apparently, it will be the Chinese flag.

The role of the USSR

Yu. A. Gagarin and S. P. Korolev

One of the aspects of the "lunar conspiracy" theory is also attempts to explain the recognition Soviet Union American landing on the moon. Supporters of the "lunar conspiracy" theory believe that the USSR had no conclusive evidence of NASA falsifications, other than incomplete human intelligence data (or that the evidence did not appear immediately). The possibility of collusion between the USSR and the USA to conceal the alleged scam is assumed. The following versions of the reasons that could have prompted the USSR to enter into a "lunar collusion" with the United States and stop their lunar flyby and lunar landing manned lunar programs at the last steps of implementation are called:

1. The USSR did not immediately recognize the scam.
2. The leadership of the USSR refused to public exposure for the sake of political pressure on the United States (threats of exposure).
3. The USSR, in exchange for silence, could receive economic concessions and privileges, such as the supply of wheat for low prices and entry into the Western European oil and gas market. Among the possible assumptions are also personal gifts to the Soviet leadership.
4. The United States had political compromising information on the leadership of the USSR.

A fragment of the program "Postscript" with Alexei Pushkov from 11/18/2017

Fragment of the program "Postscript" with Alexei Pushkov from 12/09/2017

Opponents express doubts on all counts:

1. The USSR closely monitored the US lunar program both according to open sources and through a wide network of agents. Since falsification (if it existed) would require the participation of thousands of people, among them with a very high probability would be an agent of the Soviet special services. In addition, the lunar mission was subject to continuous radio-technical and optical monitoring from various points in the USSR, from ships in the World Ocean and, possibly, from aircraft, and the information received was immediately subjected to verification by specialists. Under such conditions, it is almost impossible not to notice the anomalies in the propagation of radio signals. In addition, there were six missions. Therefore, even if the deception had not been discovered immediately, it would have been easily discovered later.

2. This probably would have been possible in the 1980s, but not in the conditions of the Moon Race and the Cold War. In the USSR and in the world in those years there was euphoria from the successes of Soviet cosmonautics, which reinforced the thesis fundamental for the USSR and all Marxist movements about the "superiority of the socialist system over the capitalist one." For the USSR, the defeat in the "Moon Race" had significant negative ideological consequences both within the country and in the world, but the proof of the failure of the United States and falsification (if it really took place) was a very strong trump card in promoting the ideas of Marxism in the world, which would allow to give a new breath to the communist movements in the West, which by that time had begun to lose popularity. Against this background, the possible bonuses from the "collusion" with the United States for the USSR would not look very tempting. It should not be forgotten that the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s in the United States were marked by a fierce internal political struggle, and if there had been falsification, American politicians themselves could have exposed it in the course of the struggle. In this case, the USSR would not have received anything from its silence.

3. The principle of "Occam's razor" applies here. The reasons for the USSR's entry into the Western European oil and gas market have been well studied and it is not necessary to involve a possible conspiracy between the USA and the USSR to explain them. The price for the supply of wheat to the USSR was, although somewhat lower than the exchange prices, but this is due to the huge volumes of deliveries, self-delivery of products by the Soviet merchant fleet and the payment system that was beneficial for the West. The version about personal gifts is completely doubtful, since in such a vital issue for the superpowers, these gifts, obviously, should have been very valuable. Here it is even difficult to guess their content. In addition, after the collapse of the USSR, information about them would certainly become publicly available.

4. Before and after the Race to the Moon The United States conducted a continuous and tough information campaign to discredit the leadership of the USSR, using both real compromising materials and fakes created by special services. Among the leaders of states, a kind of "information immunity" to this kind of propaganda has developed, and it is unlikely that in such an environment any new materials would have been taken seriously with political consequences for the USSR.

Russia's official position

Making it clear to society that there should be no doubt about the truth of the statement about the flights of American astronauts to the moon, neither the country's top leadership nor domestic official science, in response to a direct question, provide a single piece of evidence that would sweep away all doubts and become an unconditional confirmation of their correctness. positions on this issue.

And if Russia, as one of the leading space powers in the world, and in the 20th century the USSR - the leader in the space race, cannot bring through the mouth of its leader or official science a single convincing fact proving or refuting the flights of American astronauts to the Moon, then all the information about these flights, published in textbooks, scientific and popular science literature, shown in newsreels, posted in the media, the Internet, displayed on postage stamps, badges, coins, etc., is a simple repetition of the version proposed by the Americans and is based either on the naive belief of people in this version, or, most likely, on the implementation the authors of these products will of the highest officials of the state.

What Putin Says About the Moon Landing

What is the position of official Russia today on the issue of flights of American astronauts to the Moon? This question is best asked to the head of state, who, by his status, should be better than anyone else aware of the reliability of this global event.

A. Anisimov: Good afternoon, Vladimir Vladimirovich, my name is Alexey Anisimov, Novosibirsk. I have this question. Do you think the Americans landed on the moon, well, landed on the moon?

V. V. Putin: I think yes.

A. Anisimov: There is a version that ...

V. V. Putin: I know this version, but it seems to me that it is impossible to falsify such an event. This is the same as some claim that on September 11, the Americans themselves blew up these twin towers, they themselves directed the actions of the terrorists. Complete nonsense! Brad, this is impossible! ...Complete nonsense! The same applies to the moon landings: it is impossible to falsify an event of this magnitude.

A. Anisimov: Thanks.

V. V. Putin: We can say that Yuri Gagarin did not fly either - you can invent anything you like. Meanwhile, let's not forget about it, after all, our compatriot took the first step into space.

What conclusions can be drawn from this dialogue?

First. VV Putin knows the version according to which the Americans falsified the flights to the Moon.

Second. It turned out that V.V. Putin, being the head of state - a pioneer in space exploration, forty years after the flights of American astronauts to the moon, does not have reliable data that would unambiguously answer the question posed: yes, American flights to the moon are a reality, their reliability confirm such and such facts.

Third. V. V. Putin, although he had the opportunity to request information confirming or refuting official version about the flights of American astronauts to the Moon, in the archives of the special services, the Foreign Ministry and scientific organizations involved in space exploration, but for unknown reasons did not do this, but expressed his point of view as an ordinary citizen who does not always have the opportunity to obtain reliable information from competent sources.

Putin's point of view is that American astronauts landed on the moon, although no new evidence is provided to confirm this, it just seems to him that it is impossible to falsify an event of this magnitude.

But if enough money is allocated, then anything can be falsified. The problem is only as a fake. And the higher the quality, the more likely the falsification will be perceived as reality.

But, as you know, doubts about the reliability of the American flights to the moon arose in the United States immediately after the completion of these flights and were not dispelled for forty years. It is believed that the basis for these doubts was the results of a close study of materials related to the flights of American astronauts to the Moon, but it can be assumed that the primary source of these doubts was a leak of information, intentionally or accidentally made by one of the organizers or performers of lunar flights.

But be that as it may, in reality, in the end, V.V. Putin turned out to be right that it is impossible to falsify such an event, and to be more precise, it is impossible to pass off the falsification of such an event as reality.

The response of the highest-ranking official does not contain any new information confirming the presence of American astronauts on the Moon, but only indicates that the head of state has developed his own personal opinion on this issue, based on indirect data and analogies.

It is surprising that an official, who by his status has access to any information owned by the state, did not cite a single fact, including from competent sources, confirming the authenticity of these flights, although he is familiar with the version of the falsification of flights.

Thus, the answer of the head of state to the question whether the Americans landed on the moon did not put an end to the dispute about the possible falsification of NASA manned flights to the moon.

Roscosmos has no information

Having expressed his opinion on this issue, V.V. Putin outlined the position of the state, namely, the flights to the moon declared by the Americans correspond to reality. This position is supported not by facts, but by the authority of the head of state, and, by default, this position should be guided by Russian state structures and official science.

However, having received the installation that flights to the moon are a reality, Russian state structures and official science did not receive convincing facts from NASA or the country's leadership confirming the reality of these flights to present them to the public.

The question of the presence of Americans on the moon was raised before V.V. Putin and in 2012.

So, V. Grinev in his article “To be or not to be?” ( Newspaper "In Their Own Names", N14, April 2, 2013) writes:

“In December of the past year, a conference was held by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, at which everyone could ask the head of state a question of interest to him ... and I asked the question in writing: "Have Americans been to the Moon or not?" . The question was not heard on the air, but an answer was soon received from the president's office that my question had been accepted and sent to Roskosmos. Some time later, a response was received from Roskosmos signed by the Chief Scientific Secretary of the NTS A. G. Milovanov. …Turns out, “Roscosmos does not have information confirming your point of view regarding the landing of Americans on the moon”. ... You can understand the answer of A. G. Milovanov from two angles: either A. G. Milovanov really does not know about the landing (or non-landing) of the Americans on the Moon - which is impossible to believe, or A. G. Milovanov, for one reason or another - more likely, he did not consider it necessary to be frank with me.

At first glance, it would seem accepted the right decision- to transfer this issue to the relevant department dealing with space topics. But after all, neither Roskosmos nor its predecessors participated in the NASA program to send a man to the Moon and, accordingly, do not bear any responsibility for the accuracy of reports about these flights. Therefore, formally, Roskosmos cannot have information either confirming or refuting the landing of American astronauts on the moon.

Of course, such an agency as Roskosmos can be imagined as an expert whose activities are most related to the issue under discussion and which, dealing with space topics, can resolve a long-standing dispute. However, as can be seen from the excerpt from the letter of the Chief Scientific Secretary of the NTS of Roscosmos, Roscosmos does not act as an expert on this issue. And how can he take on such a role when such famous cosmonauts as G.M. Grechko and A.A. Leonov, who has no doubts about the flights of American astronauts to the moon, allow the Americans to make additional filming of "lunar episodes" in the studio.

The question arises, where should the question of the reliability of the lunar expedition be directed? Without a doubt, to the bodies of the foreign intelligence service (formerly the KGB of the USSR) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the years of the Cold War, employees of these departments successfully obtained information important for the security of our country ( atomic weapon, military-technical developments, the military potential of the enemy, etc.). It is impossible to imagine that such strategically important information as the first flight of a man to the moon would go unnoticed by these departments.

Nevertheless, as follows from the above article, the task of confirming or refuting the presence of American astronauts on the Moon is set before Roscosmos, as if the responsibility of this agency or its predecessors was to determine the reliability of information provided by other states in the field of space exploration.

Roskosmos is formally right in answering that it does not have information confirming the falsification of the landing of American astronauts on the moon. Firstly, Roscosmos officially could not obtain such information from any sources (from higher management, other ministries and departments, foreign states and citizens), Secondly, the task of analyzing and evaluating the reliability of information about the flights of American astronauts to the moon was not set before Roscosmos.

Roskosmos's response does not refute, but does not prove the version accepted by the state that the flights of American astronauts to the moon really took place.

Probably, it would be more correct to ask Roskosmos to present evidence confirming the flights of American astronauts to the moon. But since V.V. Putin cited only one indirect argument as confirmation of these flights, then, apparently, it would be a problematic task for Roskosmos to prove the presence of American astronauts on the moon.

Voluntary a moratorium on the dissemination of information about these flights will allow not to “lose face” and preserve the scientific authority of the authors of works on the flights of American astronauts to natural satellite Earth in case of receiving direct evidence of the falsification of lunar expeditions by the Americans.

Chinese scientists refute US lunar mission

Chinese scientists started exploring the moon not so long ago. And the first practical results were obtained about 10 years ago, when the research apparatus was launched " Chang'e-1» to the satellite of the Earth. Throughout the year, Chang'e-1 collected and transmitted data. These were photographs of the surface, from which a three-dimensional map was subsequently formed.

The second launched vehicle studied a certain area of ​​the Moon, where it was planned to land the next lunar module called " Chang'e-3" in 2013. China has become the third country in the world to successfully land a research vehicle on the surface of an earth satellite. True, for technical reasons, the module failed to complete all the tasks.

In addition, Chinese scientists are constantly monitoring the space object with the help of modern telescopes and equipment. The purpose of these studies is a detailed study of the surface of the Moon, as well as the search for a landing site for astronauts from the United States. Parts of the alleged American lunar landing site were photographed, as well as an area within a radius of 50 kilometers around.

In the course of these observations, it was possible to examine the lunar craters in detail. Even traces of impacts of large meteorites were visible. The giant telescope "Red Star" was sent to exactly the place that, according to NASA documents, is listed as the area where the American lunar module was left after the Apollo expedition. However, the landing stages of the American spacecraft, as well as the star-striped flag, did not fall into the field of view of scientists.

Based on the research carried out, representatives of the PRC made a statement on the official website of the China Space Agency that the Americans had not been to the moon. This caused a strong reaction from the public, due to the fact that many do not believe in the flights of astronauts from America to the moon.

The big US space lie about the moon landing

Russia has been and remains the leading space power. But at the same time, she has to literally survive in a serious struggle for orbit. Those who are commonly called "our Western partners" directly declare their superiority in space. And they are trying to achieve this superiority by all available means. Dozens of military satellites are launched into the sky, missile threats are announced and they are preparing to fly to Mars. At the same time, the fight is not always fair. For example, Russian cosmonauts in foreign blockbusters are shown as unshaven men in hats with earflaps. Or even forget about their existence. At the same time, Americans fly into space on Russian engines and are trained in Russian cosmonautics centers. So who is the boss in orbit?

US space program. How it was - the story of a great swindle

It has long been clear to sane people that the Americans have never flown to any moon. But few people thought about the American manned spaceflight program as such. In this note, I will not touch on the technical side of the matter - it is written in detail and tastefully in various sources. More interesting to me is the chronology of events, the motives and decisions that the rednecks made.

After the milestone flight Gagarin the Americans felt that they were losing their undisputed technical leadership. The damned Russians have once again shown that there are no obstacles for them, and they are able to complete any, even the most difficult task. It was decided that such a thing could not be tolerated, and the Americans began to work on their own flight into space.

However, creating a ship capable of taking a man into space and returning him to Earth proved to be a difficult task. The USSR was able to do this by concentrating colossal scientific, labor and natural resources in this area. Of course, this had to be paid for by a decrease in the living standards of the population. Instead of conventional tractors for agriculture - lunar tractors. Instead of affordable ass trucks - space metal, and for the people - creaking and collapsing buses, and so on. The Americans could not go for this, because it would blow up America from the inside. The question arose - what to do? And then the master psychological warfare they said - why, in fact, should we fly? To achieve our goals, it is quite enough that we show the visibility of our flights.
After all, nuclear missiles fly, and fly well. Satellites provide excellent pictures and provide radio communications. Nothing else is needed! And work began to boil. Tin cans called "Gemini" were created, and the equipment installed on them showed pictures from space quite tolerably.

There were also suborbital launches of these ships with people on board, they rose up to 120 km above the Earth's surface - more advanced V-2 rockets von Braun could not issue. But the most respectable public did not need to know about this, they did not know. Although in most cases the crew solemnly loaded to the rocket actually calmly descended into the protective room inside the launch pad (there is a photo of it on the network), and after the launch they went to work at the radio center, from where they broadcast their transmissions, relaying them from a tin can hanging in space. And everything went off with a bang - the Russians believed that the Americans could go into space.

However, in America they understood that this was a temporary solution. Not today or tomorrow, the Russians will deploy a network of satellites in space, on earth and in the ocean - a network of stations and tracking ships, and the deception will be revealed. Therefore, it was decided to achieve victory in space over the Russians by landing on the moon.

However, without solving the problem of creating a habitable capsule, it was impossible to do this. Initially, work in this direction was carried out very intensively. But as more and more difficulties were revealed in the rocket, the life support system, and the possibility of overcoming the newly discovered radiation belts around the Earth, the US leadership realized that the task before them was impossible. This is where the historic meeting of the President of the United States took place Johnson, constructor Werner von Braun and former US Chief Lawyer Robert Kennedy. On it, von Braun said that a manned flight on his rocket impossible- hydrogen engines do not work (they cannot work in zero gravity, but then no one knew this).

The USSR was almost ready to fly around the moon. Of course, there was no question of any landing on the moon. However, Johnson, realizing that further delay in flights puts an end to the entire “American dream”, and the West is losing leadership, which is passing to the Russians, makes a desperate decision to continue bluffing. Kennedy, enjoying fame in the Soviet establishment, promises to probe the ground on the subject of Russian approval of the lunar scam, does this - and dies, hit by bullets Sirhan Sirhana(who, kmk, will never be released from prison - suddenly they will blurt out why he killed the RFK). The moon scam begins. Soviet leaders space program do not receive information about the Brezhnev-Johnson deal, and do not receive, on the personal instructions of dear Leonid Ilyich, intelligence about the "space" flight of Apollo - and they were. For the intelligence of the army, and even more so the Navy, does not put any words of the enemy into a penny. The Americans are well aware of this, and they block Soviet ships that read telemetry from the Apollo launches, having the president's order to immediately sink them if they intercept information about the missile flight. However, the Russian sailors were not a fool, and by the next launch of the Apollo, they put into the sea all the ships at their disposal, including minesweepers, and caught them in Biscay Bay a few hours after the launch of another dummy "lunar" ship, which was held in Hollywood as "Apollo 13".

Under the cover of cruisers and submarines, an iron barrel was delivered to Murmansk, and subsequently, in the presence of journalists, handed over to the American authorities. Thus, the USSR acquired literally iron, galvanized hook, allowing you to firmly hold America in space issue for gills. For participation in the lunar scam, the USSR received a number of tasty goodies - the cessation of the exhausting arms race, the US withdrawal from French Indochina, almost free supplies of Anglo-Saxon food, and most importantly, the admission of Soviet oil and gas to the markets Western Europe- i.e., an uninterrupted source of the coveted currency. The Soviet lunar exploration program was buried, as was the American one. No one else has gone to the moon. As a final gesture of the deal, a joint, as they said, Soviet-American expedition "Soyuz-Apollo" was carried out.

Which, of course, was also a staging on the American side - even by 1975, the United States did not have a residential space compartment. The film broadcast from orbit was now provided by the great advocate of the lunar scam, and then the astronaut Leonov. For which he received the star of the Hero and the Order of Lenin. Hero of deception, yes. I don’t even mention the attempts by the Americans to create an orbital station in Hollywood - the attempt frankly failed.

Having started the space game with the USSR, the Americans understood that the agreements could not last forever. They were based on a deal with Comrade. Brezhnev. The followers of dear Leonid Ilyich could easily spit on them. And the Americans did not plan to deceive people forever. It seemed to them that just a little bit, and they would be able to create a habitable ship, they would mount the blocks for a flight to the moon, they would clean everything up there, and it would be possible to forget about the story of the scam. Once again, based on technologies new by that time, the Americans are starting the Space Shuttle program.

And a miracle is happening - the Americans are building a really large, advanced spacecraft for those times, capable of taking people into space. And, drawing a line under twenty years of solid lies, on April 12, 1981, exactly 20 years after Gagarin's flight, symbolically deduce first americans into earth orbit. Thus, giving a signal to those who understand - yes, we were behind by 20 years, but now we have certainly pulled ahead - and the Russians are stagnating. It is very important that the first real the flight of American cosmonauts took place during the lifetime of dear Leonid Ilyich. It seemed that the cosmic deal could be safely completed. Ronald Reagan, immediately after a successful launch, he began to do this by announcing the Star Wars program. But…

The "shuttle" turned out to be an extremely expensive and unreliable design - the problems went one after another. The flight schedule was flying to hell, and with it, the chances of ever assembling a device for flying at least to lunar orbit looked more and more illusive. Meanwhile, Brezhnev died. And then a tragedy occurred - the explosion of the oxygen tanks of the spacecraft is no longer in Hollywood, but in reality, and the death of the astronauts. The shuttle flight program was completely stopped. The design of the lunar scam staggered, threatening to bury under its rubble many Americans, and not only people - after all, the participants in the scam committed, no less, the gravest crime against America - they lied to the American Congress. Reagan instantly changed his anti-Soviet rhetoric and backtracked - no star wars, drastic arms reduction, friendship, etc.

But then the USSR had internal problems, and it was not up to space. And then it completely fell apart, and with it the threat of exposing the US space scam went away for some time. The shuttle program was resumed and they continued to fly. But not for long - another shuttle fell apart with a roar during landing. The United States took the lead in the number of victims of space, and it became clear to everyone that the king is naked. That the vaunted American technologies are not able to ensure safe space flights in the 21st century and, therefore, they could not provide them in the 20th century. The Americans had to bow to the Russians, and first buy Mir-2 from them, and then flights to it. And then the engines for the rockets. The degradation of American industry has reached its apogee. After the announcement of the PRC about the start of its own lunar program, Obama blurted out something about the resumption of the American one, but was very quickly blown away - The United States does not have the opportunity to go into space.
