Eighteen years ago, the global goal of landing on the moon was set, and only China achieved it in a down-to-earth manner. The United States planned to go to the moon again in 2010, but it did not work out;After the success of Chang'e-5, it panicked and proposed a new "Artemis Project" and launched it in a hurry. Why are you so flustered?
Recently, the latest generation of American rockets to the moon finally lifted off. The launch was originally planned for August 29, but it was repeatedly delayed due to accidents such as lightning, hurricanes, and fuel leaks. However, to people's surprise, it was successfully launched in the early morning of the 16th of this month.
The high-profile Artemis moon landing program was originally planned to be launched this year, but after lightning, hurricanes, fuel leaks and other twists and turns, it was finally successfully launched in the early morning of the 16th of this month. In addition to the surprise of this success, I can't help but feel that the new round of US lunar landing program is a bit hasty, and there is even a sense of urgency to catch the ducks on the shelves.
After China's Chang'e-5 successfully landed on the moon and announced a manned lunar landing in 2030, the United States seemed to be in a state of tension and rushed to propose a new round of lunar landings. After repeated postponements, the United States finally achieved the launch, but its preparations were clearly inadequate. Does this mean that there will be delayed launches in the future, and that China may complete its manned lunar landing program ahead of schedule?
Why is the United States so panicked that it has to complete the moon landing program before China?
The Apollo moon landing program was questioned. Surveys have shown that it is mainly the people of British and American countries who raise questions about the authenticity of the US moon landing. Looking back at the Apollo moon landing program, under the influence of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, a miracle that seemed incredible at that time was created. However, the latest round of the lunar landing program, especially the latest generation of the "SLS" rocket, was developed from 2011 to the first launch this year, which took 11 years. In contrast, more than 50 years ago, the United States completed a mission to the moon from scratch in 8 years. This raises questions about the authenticity of the moon landing program.
The US space agency did not explain much about the doubts about the lunar landing program, and seems to have taken a resigned attitude to it. The latest round of the U.S. lunar landing program is divided into three steps, and the third step is the real manned landing on the moon. However, if the United States is still not fully prepared, then in the foreseeable future, a postponement of the launch may still occur, and China may complete a manned landing on the moon ahead of schedule.
The Apollo moon landing was completed in eight years thanks to the full participation of more than 300,000 American elites, more than 20,000 companies, more than 200 universities and more than 80 scientific research institutions. This was the embodiment of the Chinese power of the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union in the space race at that time. Today, however, the United States is in decline and cannot reproduce the glory of more than 50 years ago. Under the surface of the tertiary industry boom, the number of top scientific research talents is no longer comparable to that of more than 50 years ago. Against the backdrop of Sino-US competition, the United States is eager to recreate the glory of the space race more than 50 years ago, fearing that China may face a fate similar to that of the Soviet Union more than 20 years ago by completing its lunar landing program ahead of schedule.
The outer space treaties stipulate that outer space and celestial bodies are the common heritage of mankind and may not be appropriated by individuals or States. However, for more than 50 years, the treaty has existed in name only. In the field of space exploration, countries that have the ability can use it unlimitedly, while those who do not have it cannot participate. For example, the Starlink system exploited the loopholes of the outer space treaty and almost monopolized the entire low-orbit space. On the issue of the moon landing, despite the existence of the outer space treaty, the United States did not blatantly occupy the moon, but the early landing on the moon, the establishment of bases, and the demarcation of the so-called "security zone" were in fact a substantial occupation. Due to the harsh environment of the moon, the terrain and mineral resources are different, and the occupied areas are also good and bad. Through decades of research and exploration, the United States has a deep understanding of various regions on the moon, and they hope to establish a lunar base before China to occupy an advantageous area. This is also part of the Artemis program, and the terms of the demarcation of the security zone were clearly stipulated when the United States signed the moon landing program.
After the new millennium, the United States constantly put forward plans to go to the moon again. With China's Chang'e-5 mission to the moon and its plans to complete a manned landing on the moon and establish a lunar base in the next 10 years, the United States is beginning to feel nervous because China is gradually turning its goal into reality, demonstrating its determination and strength. This may be another reason why the United States is nervous and afraid.
More than 50 years ago, behind the achievements of Apollo 11 and Armstrong on the moon was a demonstration of the power of the two superpowers in the space race. However, China's Chang'e-5 moon landing is not just part of the space race, it is part of China's space exploration program. For the lunar landing program, China adheres to the needs of scientific research, is down-to-earth, does not forget its original aspiration, and fulfills its mission, and achieves its goals step by step.
Conclusion:
More than 50 years ago, the moon landings of Apollo 11 and Armstrong were the product of a special era. This is not just a simple space exploration, but also a way for the two superpowers to demonstrate their national power in the space race. However, with the success of China's Chang'e-5, the needs and goals of the lunar landing program have become clearer. In this process, whether the United States is nervous or not, China will continue to firmly follow its own path, bravely climb the peak of science and technology, and meet the challenges of the future without fear of the unknown.
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the urgency and anxiety that the United States is currently facing in the field of space exploration, especially in the space race with China, where the United States seems to feel a kind of crisis of being gradually overtaken. Through a comparative analysis of the previous U.S. moon landing programs, the author points out the current situation of the decline of U.S. national strength and insufficient scientific research preparation, as well as the skepticism it faces in the field of space exploration.
First, the article provides a detailed description of the postponement of the latest round of the U.S. lunar landing program, highlighting the various difficulties in the U.S. program through various unexpected events, such as lightning, hurricanes, and fuel leaks. This comparison with the successful landing of China's Chang'e-5 on the moon makes people wonder whether the United States' leading position in space is gradually weakening.
Secondly, the article mentions that the Apollo moon landing program has been questioned, especially in the context of today's advanced technology, and people have raised more questions about the authenticity of the moon landing program. NASA's disregard for these questions makes the topic even more interesting. It has also raised questions about the current capabilities of the United States in space exploration and whether it still has a leading position.
The article also touched on the issue of the outer space treaty, pointing out that the United States has actually monopolized and occupied space resources through various means. This makes space a controversial area, while also showing the importance of space resources. At this point, the United States seems to be in a hurry to complete the moon landing program ahead of schedule in order to occupy a favorable location on the moon, which is also an aspect of American anxiety.
Finally, the paper observes the decline of the United States' national power, especially the relative weakening of the number and strength of talents in the field of scientific research. Compared to more than 50 years ago, the advantage of the United States is gradually weakening, which makes it feel more nervous in the space race. The article argues that the United States may be afraid that China will be one step ahead in the space race, leading to a further decline in its international status.
Overall, this article provides an insight into the challenges and anxieties facing the United States in the field of space exploration through an analysis of the latest round of the U.S. lunar landing program. However, readers also need to be cautious of some of the speculation in the article, as the factors in the international political and technological race are complex, involving multiple interests and motivations.
