Why did the United States take 96 bags of diapers left on the moon after 5 1 year?

1969, Apollo 1 1 carried three astronauts to the moon, which was the fifth manned space mission in human history and the first human mission to the moon.

Armstrong, who is on a mission, said six hours after landing on the moon. This is one small step for me personally, but one giant step for mankind. ?

In two hours and 30 minutes on the moon, Armstrong and Buzz? Aldrin conducted a series of scientific research work on the moon.

All the above are familiar plots, but what we don't know is that Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left a vomit bag, two urine collectors and a feces collector on the surface of the moon in order to save fuel for the rockets in the return capsule.

NASA later said that during the Apollo manned mission to the moon, the astronauts left 96 bags of human excrement on the surface of the moon.

After the Apollo program, for various reasons, all countries did not carry out manned missions to the moon. However, in 20 17, Trump announced the resumption of manned landing on the moon.

There are many reasons for Trump to announce the resumption of manned landing on the moon, but one of them is to recycle 96 bags of diapers left by humans on the moon.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a lunar environmental protection plan, but a very important scientific research.

Diapers and the moon

We know that the birth and survival of life need a specific environment, and the environment on the moon is very different from that on the earth, so it is difficult for life on the moon to survive.

The reason why there is no life on the surface of the moon is that scientists speculate that the moon has no atmosphere, no ocean and no magnetic field.

The magnetic field can protect the life of the planet from high-energy charged particles, and the ozone layer in the atmosphere can isolate ultraviolet rays and let life survive on the surface of the planet. A deep enough ocean, like the atmosphere, can also block ultraviolet rays. Therefore, when studying celestial bodies in the universe, if there is a liquid ocean on a planet and there are hot springs under the ocean, it means that life may have been born on this planet.

To sum up, there are no conditions for the birth of life on the moon, so in our understanding, there is no life on the moon.

However, in order to prevent astronauts from bringing back unknown pathogens from the moon, scientists isolated them for three weeks. On August 1969 and 13, the astronauts left the isolation area and were interviewed by the media, and the people cheered.

Later, however, people began to think in the opposite direction: if the creatures on earth are taken into space, can they still survive?

To this end, people have brought many creatures into space and some plant seeds into space to test whether they can germinate in space. These studies have achieved fruitful results, and even created a breeding method for space fruits.

In 20 14, the European space agency took more than 200 kinds of microorganisms into space and conducted experiments in space for 18 months. The test results show that some microorganisms not only survive, but also reproduce as on earth.

So people thought of 96 bags of diapers left on the moon. There are human excrement in these 96 bags of diapers, and there are microorganisms in human excrement.

These 96 bags of diapers have been on the moon for 5 1 year. If the microbes are still alive, scientists can study what has happened to these microbes and how the lunar environment has affected them, which may help us to establish human bases outside the earth.

Therefore, Trump announced to restart the manned moon landing program, including picking up 96 bags of diapers.

Why do people seldom go to the moon?

1972, when the astronauts on the last mission to the moon returned to the earth, Nixon, then president of the United States, said in a speech: This may be the last time for mankind to land on the moon in this century.

After that, although humans will still plan to land on the moon, no one will land on the moon again. The reasons are complicated, but in general, there are two points.

The cost of manned landing on the moon is high, and the maturity and difficulty of unmanned detector technology are declining, which leads to that all tasks that human beings can perform can be realized with the help of unmanned detectors. Moreover, the failure rate of human landing on the moon has a certain probability, and a series of human life activities in space have to be solved, resulting in the cost of manned landing on the moon being much higher than that of unmanned detectors.

By the way, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were unwilling to insure them before the first manned landing on the moon because of the high risk.

Just in case, they signed hundreds of envelopes and postcards and asked their friends to stamp them on the launch day and the moon landing day. If they really can't come back, these signatures are enough for the family to make a fortune. Later, these envelopes cost as much as $28,500 each.

Manned landing on the moon is not an unattainable plan. Although it is difficult to land on the moon, human beings have already landed on the moon in the last century, so landing on the moon itself is not particularly attractive.

Therefore, all countries do not regard manned landing on the moon as their primary task, and if it is necessary to show their national strength by manned landing on other planets, then landing on Mars is the best choice.

For various reasons, since 1972, no country has carried out an overloaded man landing on the moon. If Trump can start a manned space flight and bring back diapers left on the moon, it may help humans understand the livable planet from another angle and prepare for emigration to outer space.
