Ето Защо НАСА Никога не се Върна на ЛУНАТА – Moon Discoveries
Today in this video you will learn how long did it take people to reach the moon? And how much for the cosmonauts? Why was the moon so interesting and attractive years ago, but now it is not? What have American presidents thought of trips to the moon over the years? and why have they lost interest? Why does Trump support moon travel and others don't? And what's stopping astronauts from traveling to the moon again? You will find out about all this in this video.
I wish you a pleasant viewing, friends! On July 20, 1969, the whole world supported NASA to achieve the goal that was literally beyond the scope of this world to land the first man on the moon, it was more than 53 years ago, years later on December 19, 1972. the last mission of NASA took place the mission to the moon but for 53 years now despite the advancing technology and the growing awareness of NASA they don't want to send their astronaut there they can hardly repeat their same successes of the 70s, in this video we will learn the real reason why NASA can't or rather doesn't want to send its own astronauts to the moon.
One of Earth's closest neighbors is the Moon, but since the distance is measured on the cosmic scale , which is about 384,400 kilometers, if you could drive to the Moon, it would take almost 6,000 hours moving at 40 miles per hour, but astronauts get there faster, human flights to the moon take longer than uncrewed missions because NASA obviously has to be careful if astronauts want to land safely, on average NASA's nine moon missions, including Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 13, that actually landed on the surface took just over 78 hours or three days and six hours to reach lunar orbit, the fastest mission being Apollo 8 which took two days and 21 hours and eight minutes while Apollo 17 was the longest with a time of 3 days, 14 hours and 41 minutes, these times include the time spent in Earth orbit.
The moon has fascinated people enough to dare to send some of us the great distance to explore it while watching the moon at night. Have you ever wondered where it came from and how it got there? There are several theories about the origin of Earth's moon, you can agree with any of them the giant impact hypothesis states that the moon was formed when an object crashed into the Earth at its birth.
The Earth itself arose from the remnant cloud of dust and gas , orbiting the young Sun the early solar system was a place where a number of bodies were created that never became full-fledged planets at this point Pluto may come to mind as an example of such a body one of them crashed into Earth shortly after the young a planet was created, known as the planet THEIA, the size of Mars after the collision, many vaporized pieces of the crust of the young planets were separated into space , at that moment cosmic gravity appeared, binding and joining the ejected particles and thus the largest a satellite of the planet earth was created – the moon. This kind of origin would explain why the moon is composed mostly of lighter elements , essentially the material that formed it came from the crust, while leaving the rocky core intact. as material gathers around what's left of planet Teia's core, it would be centered near Earth's ecliptic plane, the path the sun takes, which is where the moon moves today, at least one point in support of the theory is that the earth and the moon have similar compositions, but there is also a joint theory of formation that is even more interesting the principle behind this theory is that the moons can form at the same time as their pair and the gravity of the planets would make the materials in early solar system to converge at the same time as the earth formed from bound particles, thanks to gravity, a planetary moon system like this would have a similar composition, which is in fact the case, this type of moon would also be clearly located exactly where the finds the moon.
Regardless of how the moon came to be, by the early 1960s the United States was seriously interested in sending men to the moon , efforts officially began when President John F. Kennedy called a special joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961. His words were: "I believe this nation must commit to achieving the goal before this decade elapses from landing a man on the moon to returning him safely to Earth" but the history of NASA's lunar missions has no way would be complete without mentioning the space race involving the Soviet Union weeks before Kennedy's speech, the Soviet Union had launched Yuri Gagarin into space, in a spacecraft that orbited the Earth earning the title of the first man in outer space, in turn the United States as a nation has always wanted to send a man into space Kennedy's lunar program was widely supported at the time known as the Apollo Mission but when space the agency tried to launch the mission from the space center a tragedy struck a fire broke out and three astronauts lost their lives, but this failure did not deter their determination 18 months later Apollo 7 the first manned mission successfully orbited earth and has tested all the complex systems that will take the astronauts to the moon.
But what has changed to date? The answer is a lack of public interest in the moon , polls remain tepid at the height of the Apollo program, only 53 percent of Americans say they think the program is worth the cost, and for the most part, US approval ratings for the Apollo missions hovered below 50 percent recently more than 57 percent of those polled agreed that returning to the moon is an important goal for NASA but it is far from telling the whole truth because only about 38 percent agree that NASA should send living, breathing humans back to the moon as they say The US can do it and robots, they can perfectly explore and study the lunar surface, but there is a nuance Americans are not completely inclined to deep space missions 63 percent say that NASA should focus on sending astronauts to Mars.
This means that Elon Musk may not have a problem finding volunteer colonists for his ambition to colonize Mars. However, 91% think NASA should focus on scanning the skies for killer asteroids, another huge problem facing NASA. But it's an extremely expensive technology, they just can't take unnecessary risks with human life and it seriously complicates missions, take for example NASA's budget for the whole of 2022, Congress has allocated $24 billion, which sounds like a lot of money but when you consider all the programs run by nasa it is obvious that there is not enough to send people to the moon jwst for example costs about 10 billion dollars, nasa also funds the space launch system SLS which has become a money sync, nasa also contracts for nearly 6 billion to SpaceX for the lunar system and to keep NASA people busy, should also fund unmanned missions to the sun, the Asteroid Belt, the Space Telescope, and the list goes on. In comparison, the US military receives $777 billion, the fact that NASA's budget has shrunk over the decades and peaked at four percent of the federal budget in 1965, but remained well below one percent for decades before President Trump for years has called for a return to the moon and then an orbital visit to Mars, the directive signed today will refocus America's space program on human exploration and discovery but given the rising costs and delays associated with the rocket program of NASA SLS, it was clear that there would not be enough funding for both destinations, but what if the US funded the Apollo missions today, how much would they cost? The answer is a whopping $120 billion, but there is a 2005 NASA report that estimates that returning to the moon would cost NASA about $104 billion, which with inflation would be more than $133 billion today , which brings us to another problem with the return to the moon – America's administration, as the president and administration have changed over the years as well as the focus of the federal government, If Trump's plans had worked , it is likely that NASA would have returned to the moon by the end of his second term, but of course However, he was not re-elected, preparations for a mission to the moon take a uniquely long time, exceeding the two terms of a sitting president, and future presidents and legislation often override previous presidents' priorities for space exploration.
In 2004, for example, the Bush administration tasked NASA with coming up with a way to replace the space shuttle, which had to be replaced the space shuttle, which had to be replaced, in addition to returning to the moon , NASA developed the constellation program to send astronauts to the moon using a rocket called Aries and a spacecraft called Orion NASA then spent nine billion dollars in five years billion dollars in five years that's the amount to design build and test the hardware of this program but what happened President Barack Obama was sworn in in the Government Accountability Office released a report on NASA's failure to estimate Constellation costs, and Obama decided to cancel the program and instead approved the SLS rocket. These expensive priorities have led to cancellation after cancellation, a loss of about $20 billion and years of wasted time and momentum, but there is another obstacle facing NASA's return to the moon beyond funding, public support and politics, the journey to The moon is incredibly difficult, the moon may look attractive in the night sky but it is a death trap for anyone who dares to go there, you may see pictures of the Apollo astronauts smiling and waving at the cameras but they were closer to death than any other person on our planet.
Did you know that NASA thinks the biggest risk of death is that Armstrong and Aldrin can't be launched back when they leave the moon to rejoin Collins, the agency has prepared for that possibility, and that essence was the grimace you can think of if they had failed Armstrong and Aldrin would have been abandoned on the moon mission control would have shut down the communications euphemism for abandonment and the two men would most likely have starved to death or committed suicide, then President Nixon had to read the speech about the tragedy. The words of the then President Nixon are the following: "Destiny has ordained that the men who will step on the moon to explore the new world will stay there forever and rest in peace.
" These brave men Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin knew there was no hope. for their recovery, but they also knew there was hope for humanity " These two men set in their lives humanity's noblest goal of seeking truth and understanding" We're nearing the end of the video now, and I have a question for you.
