Chinese netizens seem to be interested in the Apollo moon landing again, but this time they are not doubting the authenticity of the moon landing itself, but commenting on the shoes that Armstrong wore when he landed on the moon.
Robin · Singer, the astronauts responsible for boarding Apollo 11, returned to Earth United States the space agency to hand over their luggage to the Apollo 11 spacecraft that had been carrying them in space for more than a week.
Among these bags were, of course, the clothes they had changed in the space capsule, and since the astronauts had to wear spacesuits when flying to the moon on the Apollo 11 spacecraft, the clothes they changed in the capsule could only be casual clothes.
Among these cabin casual wear, what netizens pay the most attention to is not the color, style and other things, but the feeling of wearing comfortable slippers or a shoe with the feeling of wearing space shoes, and it is extravehicular space shoes.
Space shoes and space combat boots.
As we all know, astronauts will conduct dozens of hours of spacewalk training before landing on the moon, partly to master various operations, and partly to adjust the muscles of limb parts such as lower back when they are affected by different gravity and direction.
One of the things to do in the moon landing training is to have astronauts wear spacesuits and adsorption shoes to deal with gravity on the earth in a gravity simulation environment, and try to go as far as possible in a limited volume.
Practice walking during this 8-second training session, and try to make it look like a normal person.
In addition to walking, it is necessary not to grunt, and to exert force when exerting force and when the center of gravity is in the center.
If it weren't for the lack of force in these places, the low gravity on the moon would have destabilized the astronauts' bodies.
They will fall to the ground unconsciously, or they will fall on their stomachs because they don't push forward enough.
As the walking training progressed, the shoes outside the spacesuit were almost worn out, but fortunately, the soles of the feet were thick and the feet were not injured.
Finally, when gravity on the moon was simulated as 1/6 of the Earth's, the astronauts finally learned how to walk, and they didn't even use force to walk.
The coordinates are symmetrical within a certain range when you step out, so there is no height difference when standing on the ground.
Their muscles have fully adapted to the new power environment, and these astronauts can be stable without looking at the ground under their feet.
However, as soon as the good days passed, there were small changes in the environment in which their legs had to adapt to strength.
When they returned to Earth from the moon, the gravity rose from 1/6g to 1g, and such a big change naturally affected the movement of walking.
When they came out of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, their calf muscles were completely newbie.
Not only do they not know how to walk, but they also have a little unsteady sitting on the ground.
In this case, they will either be pulled by gravity and not move, which is obviously not conducive to the various instructional experiments to be done after returning to Earth.
The commanders of these men decided, to put it simply, that the astronauts would be lame for a week from the moon to the sun, and that it would be better.
So, they were arranged to take out their extravehicular space shoes from their carry-on luggage, and day after day, they walked barefoot, practicing balance over and over again.
As mentioned earlier, these space shoes underwent a long training period before landing on the moon, which means that they have walked for at least twenty or thirty hours, which is not a small loss.
These traces of wear and tear are finally reflected when they leave an imprint on the moon, which is the focus of netizens' attention.
However, the space shoes in the moon's space capsule are far from what everyone imagined.
NASA sent them to an exhibition at a popular science institution, which displayed them in glass cases.
The difference between these space shoe marks and the marks left on the moon when they wear out is a little unsure for science popularization institutions, so they put it on social media for everyone to see, hoping that someone can observe it with them.
Space shoes and space boots.
Netizens saw photos of space shoes posted by popular science institutions on social media in the aerospace field, so they began to observe and study.
The first to observe noticed something was wrong with the space shoes.
What they saw on these space shoes was not the same as the patterns they saw in space museums and various historical photos, and there was a clear difference between the two.
The pattern on the space shoes obviously did not match the imprint left on the moon after the moon landing, so they re-looked at the previous historical materials, and the result was still the same, the patterns on the space shoes were different from the historical materials, not to mention the patterns that left an imprint on the moon.
Therefore, it is inferred that the space shoes on display at the Space Shoe Museum are not the space shoes that Armstrong left his mark on the moon, but a pair of fake shoes that NASA later replaced with the exhibition, which is why there is such a big difference between the two.
Space shoes and tinted glasses.
In fact, the speculation of netizens is not reliable.
Armstrong's space shoes left on the moon are still there, as mentioned earlier, after Apollo 11 returned to Earth, NASA took pictures of all the things that the astronauts carried, and of course some of Armstrong's space shoes were put into the archive of the Apollo 11 command module, and they are still there until now.
If these netizens really suspect that the space shoes are fake, they can directly ask NASA to carry out a fireproof safe that weighs more than half of United States, and then ask that the door of the command module archive be opened and see the photos with their own eyes.
Moreover, even if netizens suspect that the space shoes are fake shoes or fake shoes, I am afraid that it is not only NASA, an agency United States that only assists in the operation of NASA, but also many undertakers involved in United States space projects.
Most of these contractors are well-known and large companies in United States, and during United States tyranny of "assassinating scientists for the sake of losing space gray", most of these companies are trying to protect their own interests, denying the authenticity of United States moon landing and then United States the government to sit idly by.
For example, the France Fire Protection Company believes that United States failed to land on the moon because United States does not have the technology to solve the heat experienced by the space vehicle during its re-entry into the atmosphere, and many other contractors must have concocted the same method to deny that their own spacecraft were used by NASA to land on the moon.
In this case, if NASA really asks any contractor to make fake shoes, that contractor may not be able to withstand such an explosive threat.
In the end, it is the most unreasonable.
If NASA really wants to make fake shoes, it is not difficult to conjure up a pair of shoes that are the same as Armstrong's space shoes, United States the handmade chocolates bought by NASA can be placed on the moon at that time to take pictures and make a look.
epilogue
For some reason, netizens are always skeptical of the various physical evidence of the Apollo moon landing in a sense, and even some supporters will establish many "conspiracy theories" because of this, such as saying that the United States failed to land on the moon but on the surface not let the world know, and that the United States moon landing was real, but later in order not to make people repeat the work, NASA released fake photos, hid the real photos and so on.
