Drama: Famous Thai physics professor says humans have never walked on the moon, pointing out that 50 years ago it was still difficult to go. So why isn’t anyone going at present? This time, Nerd responded and explained the reason.
The year 1969 was a big day for mankind after Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. And since then No one ever went to the moon again.
Date: April 6, 2024 Famous physics teacher Has expressed his opinion about this matter. The moon landing 50 years ago may have been a hoax. Because after Neil Armstrong succeeded. After that, no one ever went to the moon again. Even though today’s technology is much more advanced than 50 years ago, why is it so difficult?
This matter became controversial on social networks until a tour of the said physics professor was posted on Facebook. Albert Traveler George Has come out to give an answer about this matter. By answering the questions as follows:
1. Why didn’t NASA go to the moon again after Apollo 17 ended?
Going to the moon requires a huge budget. And during that time, America had economic problems. Many people came out to oppose it. And Congress has made huge budget cuts on this matter. Until having to abandon the project to take humans to the moon and change policy to focus on practices at LEO instead
One important thing is why in 1969 they sent men to the moon. There is a matter of political motivation involved. Even though this project is risky, it must be done. If you measure the risk, how big is it? It was so risky that no one insured the Apollo astronauts. Today, in the Artemis era, there is less risk.
2. In those days it was possible. Why is it so difficult these days?
Postponing the launch of the Artemis-1 rocket does not suggest that going to the moon 50 years ago was postponed. because of the rocket launch It’s not an easy release. We have to look at the issue of leaking liquid hydrogen fuel. Unfavorable weather conditions for release The orbit of the moon must be matched with another rocket launch. System security is very important.
As for the Apollo era, 50 years ago, there was political pressure from the Cold War. to compete with the Soviets But at present There is no political pressure like this anymore. and the firing of rockets each time It costs $1 billion per shot. Although it is cheaper than during the Apollo era, NASA’s budget is currently being cut. I don’t have a large budget like before.
3. Why must NASA test the system before having humans aboard the Orion spacecraft mounted on an SLS rocket?
If we study things that are used on Earth, such as airplanes and cars, the system must be tested before production and actual use. Because it’s a matter of safety. And if you look at the Apollo project, it wasn’t that they would send astronauts to the moon immediately. Must pass many tests. Plus, the first mission had a disaster and lost 3 astronauts.
What was posted It doesn’t say that whatever America does, it has to be believed first. In addition to this question America and other space agencies such as China and India also have evidence that can prove it. For example, Indian spacecraft captured images of the landing sites of Apollo 11-12, 1-17, and Neil Armstrong also caught them. Set up a measuring device for the distance between the earth and the moon. Makes you realize how far apart they are.
Finally, there is the physics teacher. But I never truly studied the information. Talk about conspiracy theories like some Thai people. It is even more reinforcing that Teachers are not always right.
Long story short, why haven’t more astronauts been sent to the moon?
1. At that time there was a political drive from the Cold War to compete with the Soviet Union. Moreover, NASA has a huge budget.
2. After that, NASA’s budget was greatly reduced. It makes it impossible to fly easily and has no political drive anymore.
