On June 20, 1969, the American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon for the first time in human history; this event was broadcast live to the whole world. More than forty years have passed since then, however, man not only did not colonize the moon, but, on the contrary, as if lost all interest in it. So what happened, why did people forget about the moon for decades?
American astronauts flew to the moon seven times. Six times they landed on the surface of the moon, once because of a serious accident (Apollo 13), the flight was stopped and the landing did not take place. After this, no new attempts were made to land on the moon.
There are two main versions of the loss of human interest in the moon: the official and created by independent researchers on this issue. According to the official version, the program of flights to the Moon was very expensive, so it was turned off, since the main goal - to get ahead of the Soviet Union in the lunar race - was achieved. In the USSR, after a defeat in the lunar race, the main emphasis was placed on the study of the moon and other space bodies using automatic stations.
According to an unofficial point of view, man left the moon because he was "politely asked" about it. There is some evidence that American astronauts, having landed on the moon, discovered that it was already occupied. Astronauts have repeatedly seen unidentified objects, this happened both in the orbit of the moon and on its surface. In the future, according to an unofficial version, people were unobtrusively made clear that their presence on the moon was undesirable. It was after this, realizing that at the level of science and technology achieved by earthlings by that time, there was no way to compete with alien guests occupying the Moon, the American government hastily curtailed the research program and did not return to this topic for several decades.
This version seems to be very fantastic. Nevertheless, over many decades of observing the moon using telescopes, a number of phenomena have been recorded that are not amenable to scientific explanation. There are videos on which objects moving above the surface of the moon are clearly visible. Some of them appear from one crater, move above the surface and disappear in another. No matter how fantastic the version of the presence on the moon of a different, different form of human than life form, it has quite documentary evidence.
With the beginning of the new century, the return of man to the moon is being discussed more and more actively. What is the reason for this? With the fact that the exploration of the moon has become economically viable? Or with the fact that people were again allowed to step on it? There is no definite answer to this question. If there are any arrangements with the alien guests who have occupied the moon, they are kept in the strictest confidence and are unlikely to be declassified in the near future. In the meantime, it can be testified that three countries declare their intention to visit the Moon in the next ten to fifteen years: Russia, the USA and China. A new moon race has begun.
