Visiting the Moon

The 12th of April 1961 the soviet cosmonaut U. Gagarin made the first flight to the space in the history of humanity. And eight years later the USA astronaut landed the Moon and after this landing 5 more flights were made to the Moon and this program was forgotten in 1972.

From the very beginning, people doubt a lot about this program thinking it was the falsification. There was even the film "Capricorn - 1" that directly said that these flights were falsified.

This huge step forward in science and technological progress had a few mentions in the press and there was lack of information. People could hardly find it reading only about the fact that people landed the Moon.

During 6 flights astronauts spent 300 hours on the Moon and took 382 examples of the Moon soil. After these examples were transmitted to the Earth and put to special laboratory, the major part of these evidences simply disappeared.

In fact this is the real progress for humanity, but still there are a lot of books, articles, video programs, and other scientific and fiction literature doubt that astronauts really landed the Moon.

First of all it is connected with so called war between the USA and the Soviet Union. When the first person got to the space, the USA government had to do something in response. So they landed the Moon...probably.

Secondly, there are so many facts that prove the falsification. And the most primitive example is the flying American flag, that couldn't fly according to all physical laws, as there is no wind on the Moon. A great number of such details make people doubt in these 6 flights.

One of the most extraordinary and interesting objects of the Universe is well-known satellite of our planet. From ancient times people tried to explore it, investigating its influence on people and nature. People always believed that the Moon is something mysterious and mystical. So, numerous stories and legends tell us about mystical origins of the satellite. The Moon is still unknown object that accompanies our planet.
