After the successful ascent of China's Chang'e-6 landing combination on June 4, many media around the world have published reports! China's aerospace technology has amazed the world, and various media reports have praised the information of Chang'e-6 from all angles! There is no doubt that the best propaganda for China is that technology leads the world, and when the time comes, the media will squeeze their heads and dig out their own efforts to give reports that attract readers!

British media: The Chinese flag can exist on the moon for 10,000 years! Is the American flag for the Apollo moon landing still around?

This has to be admired from the perspective of the old imperialist media "Daily Mail" in the United Kingdom, which ended with a "Chinese flag can exist on the moon for 10,000 years!" The statement directly detonated the Internet, and even affected the Apollo manned moon landing, a large number of British netizens ridiculed NASA, as well as the British rhetoric of the year, how big the boast was at the time, and how embarrassing it is now!

Sure enough, you have to be awesome: foreign media find their own angles to praise China

According to the statistics of the planters, from the successful landing of Chang'e-6 on June 2 to the successful ascent of the ascender to the near-moon orbit on June 4, the Associated Press, Reuters, TASS, Agence France-Presse, BBC, The New York Times, CNN, ABC, NBC, Daily Mail, Al Jazeera ...... and so on participated in the report, and after a general glance, it was really the eight immortals who crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and it seemed that they wanted to show the most explosive and attractive aspects of Chang'e 6 without dead ends!

The Associated Press reported: "The spacecraft unfurls the Chinese flag on the far side of the moon and takes the moon rocks into the space to bring home"

The report said that Chang'e-6 carried out an unprecedented sampling mission on the far side of the moon, and it is very difficult to carry out the mission on the far side of the moon, especially for communication, which requires relay satellite relay to maintain communication; The terrain on the back side is also very rugged, with very few flat areas to land; Isn't blowing how difficult it is to show that China's aerospace technology is superb? There are no derogatory words in the whole article, which is really rare!

Reuters reports: "China lands on the moon in its historic sample retrieval mission", "Chinese probe lifts off from the far side of the moon with lunar rocks"

Reuters quoted Neil Melville-Kenney, a technical officer at the European Space Agency, as saying:

"Landing on the far side of the moon is very difficult because there is no line-of-sight communication and you need to rely on a lot of links in the chain to control what's happening, or you have to automate what's happening." "Automation is very difficult, especially at high latitudes, because the shadows are long, which can confuse the lander.

BBC reports: "China's spacecraft has landed on the far side of the moon" and "China's exploration mission on the far side of the moon has begun to return"

China is the only country to land on the far side of the moon, having also landed in 2019. Guiding a spacecraft there is fraught with risk, as once the spacecraft reaches the far end of the moon, it is difficult to communicate with them. The BBC also quoted Professor John Pennett-Fisher, an expert in lunar geology at the University of Manchester, as saying: "Everyone is very excited because we might see these never-before-seen rocks. ”

China plans to conduct three more unmanned space flights this decade to find water sources on the moon and study the creation of a permanent base on the moon, and it already has its own Tiangong space station.

CNN reports: "China's Chang'e-6 probe successfully landed on the far side of the moon", "China's Chang'e-6 probe brings back samples from the far side of the moon for the first time"

Among these reports, CNN is the most exaggerated, in the June 2 report, CNN actually listed nearly 10 descriptions of Chang'e-6, and in the June 4 report, it again did not hesitate to praise:

  • The unmanned lunar mission is China's most complex robotic mission to date, aiming to bring samples back to Earth from the far side of the moon for the first time;
  • If all goes according to plan, the mission, which begins on May 3 and is expected to last 53 days, will be a major milestone for China to become a dominant space power;
  • China's plans include landing astronauts on the moon by 2030 and establishing a research base at the moon's south pole, an area believed to contain water ice
  • Samples collected by the Chang'e-6 lander could provide key clues to the origins and evolution of the Moon, Earth, and solar system, while the mission itself provided important data and technical practices to advance China's lunar landing program.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson was also quoted as saying that China's pace has succeeded in attracting the attention of the United States and is forcing the United States to return to the moon more urgently.

BBC SkyNight has become a popular science commentator for Chang'e-6, listing almost all the reporting data that Chang'e-6 can find on the Internet, if you don't know a certain knowledge of Chang'e-6, just check it directly.

British "Daily Mail": In addition to the praise reports of other media, there is also a special mention of the statement that China raised a second national flag on the moon, the first national flag is Chang'e 5, and Chang'e 4 and Chang'e 3 only have the national flag pasted on the surface, which is not considered "raised".

In addition, the Daily Mail also pointed out that the flag unfurled by Chang'e-6 on the far side of the moon is unique, which is made of volcanic basalt fibers, which can be stored on the surface of the moon for 10,000 years, which is a filament made of volcanic basalt after being heated at high temperatures, which has extremely strong corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

The Daily Mail said that this technology is very important for the construction of the lunar base in the future, because there is a large amount of basalt on the surface of the moon, and if it can be directly used for fiber manufacturing, then the frame and outer surface material of the lunar building can be woven and manufactured with this material, so that there is no need to spend expensive transportation from the earth to the moon, which can save a lot of expenses.

The Daily Mail also listed several failed lunar landings, such as Russia's Luna-25, the U.S. probe capsizing and Japan's lunar probe capsizing, and commented on NASA's postponement of the Artemis program-3's manned lunar landing until 2026.

For foreign media reports: The messages of netizens are heart-wrenching

A netizen named Steve 001 left a message: In 2005, the size of the British economy surpassed that of China, and 20 years later, China has far surpassed the United Kingdom and become a superpower.

A British friend from Birmingham: the United States has never been on the moon. The more you dig in, the more convinced I am that this never happened. The mission arrived somewhere, probably orbiting the moon, but never landed. Never one!

A British friend from Liverpool: Well done China!

A British netizen who slandered China for stealing Western technology was scolded by the British themselves: when have they been to the far side of the moon, and there is a need for more things to transmit signals to control back and forth...... Used to collect samples. So who did they steal from?

A British friend expressed the hope that they would never come to invade Europe, and that it would be good to go to the moon and stay there;

A friend from Bristol said: How long will the Chinese declare that the moon will be Chinese territory?

The next message is not divided into regions, and those are all words with:

"China has made brilliant achievements!"

"I paid ten pounds for a telescope before Woolworths closed, and the lady assured me that I could see the American flag on the moon."

"They didn't use anything Western."

"The UK must stop providing aid to China" (the UK does have this money, but it has been cut by 95% and it seems that there is still £5 million left);

Very interesting British friend's message, for the people of the old imperialists in the West, no matter what propaganda is useless, only the high-tech that can make them breathtaking, so that they can also understand the way to directly "push" it, like this kind of news does not need Chinese official reports at all, those Western media will find a way to find an angle that you can't even think of to promote to the people, the reason is very simple, they also live by "traffic", for the traffic of me, they know better than anyone else.

British media: The Chinese flag can exist on the moon for 10,000 years! Is the American flag for the Apollo moon landing still around?

The only thing we have to do is to keep surpassing them, so that they can't spray or black! Do you understand? In the final analysis, there is no so-called "soft power", only the "hard power" that can be seen, Chang'e lunar sampling is one, the next manned landing on the moon, and then the next thing Mars sampling returns, and then Jupiter, Saturn and the outer solar system exploration, even as far as 15 billion kilometers.

Remember, speak with strength!

Is the American flag for the Apollo moon landing still around?

China left behind a national flag that will not disappear for 10,000 years, but what about the six American flags left behind when Apollo landed on the moon in 1969? In the big debate among netizens about whether the United States landed on the moon, the American flag is a very important evidence, because under the condition that the moon is completely vacuum and windless, the American flag actually "flutters in the wind", which makes many netizens full of suspicions, thinking that the United States must have faked, and there are several evidences:

  • 1. If there is no wind on the moon, it is impossible for the national flag to float;
  • 2. The T-shaped skeleton explains "floating", but it cannot explain that the national flag is blown by the "wind";
  • 3. The shadow of the American flag is not parallel to the shadow of other equipment;

The problem of the national flag fluttering is actually very easy to explain, it is indeed a T-shaped skeleton propped up, which has nothing to do with whether it is fluttering or not, whether there is wind or not, it can "float". But this skeleton can't explain that the flag planted on the surface of the moon when Apollo landed on the moon is "floating", because some netizens found that the projection of the national flag was displaced according to the superposition of two photos in a period of time, so the netizen believes that there is wind, otherwise the national flag will not be "windless automatic".

British media: The Chinese flag can exist on the moon for 10,000 years! Is the American flag for the Apollo moon landing still around?

This question once made some netizens feel that they had grasped the key and faked it! But in fact, there is a semi-official explanation that the stiffness of the pole is not high because of the weight reduction requirements of the flagpole after the time difference, so it shook for a lot of time after the flagpole was inserted into the lunar surface.

There's nothing wrong with this explanation, right? Although you can't be sure if what they say is true, at least it's logically self-consistent! So the question is, how to explain another shadow problem? Many netizens think that they have grasped the key, but in fact, from the perspective of projection, the shadows are not parallel, but point to a certain point, which is caused by the perspective.

Final question: Is the American flag still there?

The answer is probably not, the flag of the United States at that time was sewn from a double layer of polyester fiber (polyester), a material made of organic diacids and diols through chemical polycondensation, which belongs to a type of polymer compound, invented in the 1930s, and is currently the most common type of synthetic fiber.

Polyester has many advantages. First of all, it has excellent wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and the clothes made are not easy to wrinkle during wear, and can maintain the original shape of the clothes. Secondly, polyester fibers have high strength and elastic recovery ability, making the woven fabric strong and durable, and at the same time can quickly return to its original shape. In addition, polyester fibers are resistant to abrasion and non-sticky wool, making the fabric look neater.

Whether the flag can exist to this day: we need to look at two indicators

One indicator is the high temperature resistance, because the maximum temperature of the lunar surface can reach about 130 °C, if you can't stand this high temperature, then the American flag has long been finished, the melting point of polyester fiber is about 230 °C, and the temperature resistance is about 130 °C, which seems to be just around the threshold.

The other is the ultraviolet-resistant environment of polyester fibers, because the moon has no atmosphere to block ultraviolet rays, so under the bombardment of this high-energy optical fiber, the long chain of polyester fibers should be broken and broken, which is the so-called aging, and it may be broken if it is exposed to the sun for a long time.

The ultraviolet resistance of polyester fiber is average, according to the urine of NASA back then, it should not be a separate material for this flag to weave one, and according to QUORA, this flag is just a commercial flag purchased by the Sears department store in Clear Lake, Texas, if there is no anti-ultraviolet component, it is estimated that it will have become "gray" in the past few decades, so the possibility of falling to the ground is also very high.

It doesn't matter if the flag of the United States is not there, at least we don't care very much, the truth of the NASA moon landing has long been refuted by the official media, so we won't mix it up, if you have ideas about the NASA moon landing, you may wish to speak freely in the message area.
