There is something wrong with US mission to the Moon. The legendary space mission is still shrouded in mystery. Mankind still has a number of reasons to cast doubt on the miracle of inter-planetary flights. Many people still say that US astronauts have never landed on the Moon.

Japan’s Kaguya lunar orbiter took several pictures of the site, where Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 supposedly landed in 1971 and 1972. If the astronauts had ever landed there, they should have left a lot of equipment on the site, including the rovers, on which they traveled on the surface of the Earth’s satellite. The pictures, which the Japanese rover took, showed not even the slightest hint of the US presence on the Moon.

There was only a spot of dust seen on the photograph of the site, from which Apollo-15 blasted off on its journey back to Earth. The spot, NASA said, was a firm evidence of Apollo’s presence on the Moon.

It is an open secret that the Moon’s entire surface is all covered with a thick layer of dust. US astronauts took many pictures of their shoeprints on the Moon’s surface. Joseph Skipper, a researcher of lunar and Martian anomalies, has many questions about the evidence, which the lunar dust provides. A number of images, made by the US astronauts showed their lunar rover standing at a distance from the landing module. There can be no wheel tracks seen on the pictures – as if the rover had flown from the lander to the site where it was photographed.

One may assume that the lunar ground was too hard for the wheel tracks to appear in it. However, there are many shoeprints in the dust around the rover. They can be seen even underneath the rover, although there are no wheel tracks on the ground at all.

Many people say that the US astronauts have never landed on the moon and that the entire mission is a fake. Others say that the missions took place, although the astronauts did not land on the Moon every time they traveled there. They could probably exaggerate their success to baffle the USA ’s major rival in the space race - the USSR.

It is not ruled out, though, that the discovered anomalies can be explained. They can be probably connected with certain peculiarities of the lunar dust and its interaction with electrostatic charges. However, serious scientists prefer not to throw too much light on the subject.




日本月球探测器未发现美国人登月痕迹

据《真理报》5月25日报道，美国传奇般的太空登月壮举依然有很多未解之谜，许多人认为美国宇航员根本从未登上过月球。日前，日本“月亮女神”号月球探测器发回美国阿波罗15号和阿波罗17号登月点的照片，日本科学家称，没有发现任何人类停留过的迹象，美国人是否真的曾经登上月球，再次受到质疑。

日本“月亮女神”号月球探测器已经到达美国1971年和1972年宣布的月球登陆点。如果美国宇航员真的曾经在那里登月，他们应该遗留下大量装备仪器，包括登陆车。可是照片显示，上面根本没有任何美国宇航员曾经停留过的迹象，只能看到少量斑点。美国宇航局说，这些斑点是阿波罗15号返回地球时留下的，他们就是美国宇航员登上月球的确凿证据。

众所周知，月球表面都被厚厚的月尘覆盖，美国宇航员拍摄了很多他们在月球上留下的脚印。月球和火星异常现象研究专家约瑟夫·斯金波对这些证据一直心存质疑。从美国宇航员的照片上看，他们的月球车停靠在登陆舱很远的地方，图片上没有车辙痕迹，就好像那辆登陆车是从太空舱飞过去的。“我们当然可以假设月球表面十分坚硬，不足以让登陆车留下痕迹。可是，在登陆车旁边却有很多脚印，甚至在登陆车的下面也能看到。”

许多人说，美国宇航员从来没有登上过月球，所有的登月任务都是假的。美国人可能夸大了他们在与苏联太空竞赛中取得的成就。当然，我们也不排除一些异常现象。比如，月尘的某些特定属性或者与静电的交互作用，致使美国人留下的痕迹被掩盖。（杨柳）

I think a lot of people already know that America never went to the moon >__<"

You have to be America to pull off such a HUGE Lie!

i have heard this on documentaries before, but its still considered a conspiracy theory. I'm skeptical in what to believe however.

Don't know, pictures are so blurry.

i call bs due to a lack of American rebuttals

apparently they collected a ton of moon rocks

i really can't see people going to the moon with the old @$$ technology back then. the u.s. has a tendency to do crazy things like kill their own citizens to advance some kind of agenda so i wouldn't be surprised if they did it

i remember an apollo 11 astronaut i think buzz aldrin, being interviewed i thought he seemed rather suspicious the same way i felt d!ck fuld ceo of lehman brothers was suspicious when he said his firm had more capital reserves than it ever did in history when asked the question if he had enough reserves to cover the losses

Just because Japan's lunar orbiter didn't see the Lander doesn't mean it is not there. It just probably need better camera to see it.

until we see them going up there again, i call it bs...you'd imagine if they could some decades ago, they'd go there again already
