long been interested in the universe of humanity.And, of course, that most people cherished goal was the moon, which is visible to every inhabitant of the Earth.
The fact that a flight to the moon for the first time in history was committed by the Americans, is known to all.Ahead of the USSR, the ship «Apollon 11" landed on a celestial body called the Moon.The first person whose foot came to the surface luminaries became Neil Armstrong, and behind him followed by another US astronaut, pilot a spaceship - Edwin Aldrin.The captain and his pilot stayed on the lunar surface for about two and a half hours, it was investigated, collected about 23 kg of lunar rocks and returned to the ship.Naturally, the flag that American crew set on the Moon, not only thrilled the hearts of millions of Americans, but also infuriated all Soviet scientists, who have worked hard to make its first flight to the moon was made of, because so-called "Moon race"between the United States and the Soviet Union lasted for many years.Read more about it we will tell a little later.
Why stopped flying to the moon?The concerns of millions of people on the planet.Versions and thoughts on the subject, there are thousands.The most incredible of them lies in the fact that the last time when people made a flight to the moon, they are very close flying saucers, who opened fire warning, meaning "here more than a foot!".This fact supposedly confirmed by the fact that in 2002 a British hacker Harry Makinon cracked base of the Pentagon and NASA discovered there are many reports about why stop flights to the moon.According to some sources, these reports were made secretly by the US Congress and on the list of official texts.This version is similar to the script of a Hollywood movie about aliens.But in fact, all inventions of the human imagination, and the reason is quite different.
What is this secret, because of which suddenly stop flying?Is mankind has found out almost everything about the moon, and now it has become uninteresting object of study for science?Not at all.
Space - it's not just uncharted distance, but also the area that made two powerful earthly powers fight among themselves.This area of political wrangling and fights the US and the Soviet Union has always attracted attention, and said the country did not spare neither money nor effort to overtake each other.
Usually, a leader in the field of space technology was the USSR, but the first flight to the moon, Apollo 11 perfect, was a real blow to the Union.Of course, the Soviet Republic was aware that it claims not only to the first landing on the moon - both Soviet and American missiles were trying to fly to the moon and take pictures.And the first successfully completed this mission ship "Probe", belonging to the SS.And America, in turn, spend millions of dollars to make a flight.The first tests of Apollo even cost the lives of the crew, killed three astronauts.After the victory over the Soviet Union the United States almost lost interest in the study of the lunar surface.
«lunar race" was won by the Americans.Of course, a year later, Soviet scientists were sent to the moon his famous lunar rover, which brought on the ground is much more useful information than the expedition of American astronauts.However, after that the Americans decided not to risk it because the money spent would not have paid off.The collapse of the Soviet Union was a logical point in the moon race, because the race has lost all meaning.
Is the flight to the moon will never be done?Not at all, in research plans of some countries still have projects in the world of flight, so it is impossible to accurately say that in this case set bold point.
