In the 21st century with convenient transportation, mankind has truly realized the ends of the earth. But the vastness of the universe is fascinating. Even if the moon is close to us, most people long to go there, walk around and look back at the earth where we live.
In human history, Americans were the first to land on the moon and the only to date. In 1969, the United States achieved the first manned moon landing in human history. In the next three years, it carried out as many as five manned moon landings, successfully sending 12 astronauts to the moon and successfully returning to Earth.
However, NASA's manned moon landing program came to an abrupt end in 1972. It is now 2022. Half a century has passed, and the United States has never launched any manned moon landing program.
For half a century, although the United States has continued to explore Mars and other planets, it has not continued to send humans to the moon. So the question is: Why has the United States not sent humans to the moon for half a century?
Of course, the simplest answer is conspiracy theory - a conspiracy theory that most people love to hear: Americans have never landed on the moon, Hollywood was shot in a studio, and the lunar soil was dug out of the moon with other equipment. Since the United States has never landed on the moon, it is self-evident that it has not landed on the moon in nearly half a century.
But this is just a conspiracy theory, and the United States can indeed stand the test. After the United States landed manned on the moon and returned to Earth, it brought back a lot of lunar soil and rocks from the moon and gave it one gram to our country as a gift. Chinese scientists have also published papers on their research and research results.
In addition, many lunar satellites in many countries have observed traces left by the spacecraft when the United States manned lands on the moon. For example, my country's Chang'e-2 probe and Japan's "Moon Goddess" probe have observed traces of the spacecraft.
After the Second World War , the United States and the Soviet Union gradually formed a hegemony pattern on earth. Although India claimed to be the third largest country in the world at the time, this boast was not taken seriously. The battle between the United States and the Soviet Union can be described as "traveling in the clear water". The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union involves everything from military industry to space technology.
Therefore, in this context, the Soviets began to explore Venus, and the Americans were not willing to be outdone and considered sending people to the moon. Ultimately, the Americans landed on the moon, which meant that the space race ended with Americans’ victory, and the winning Americans, of course, wouldn’t continue to send people to the moon if the Soviets could not send them to Mars.
Although the United States and the Soviet Union were the top species in the world at that time, the social wealth of the United States and the Soviet Union was limited. Let's be honest: American money is not blown by the wind. Landing on the moon is undoubtedly a high-cost and zero-return project. For Americans, a lot of money was invested in the moon landing. Although there was a lot of technological development in progress, the immediate economic benefits, at least at that time, were not realized - perhaps the only tangible reward was the lunar soil dug out from the moon by Americans.
