Recently, China officially announced its manned lunar landing plan, which is expected to achieve the first Chinese lunar landing before 2030. Of course, Americans are not willing to fall behind. As early as 2017, Trump approved the Artemis plan and is expected to send American astronauts to the moon in 2025, ahead of China.

In fact, as early as 1969, Americans had already successfully landed on the moon, but in the following 50 years, no one ever landed on the moon again.

Many people have always wondered why the United States no longer sends astronauts to the moon?

Experts say that the reason is very realistic and heartfelt.

The forced out "Apollo Plan"

After the end of World War II, the Cold War broke out, and the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in fierce competition in all fields, with a particularly fierce competition for space.

Both sides hope to demonstrate their country's institutional advantages through breakthroughs in the space field, attempting to overwhelm each other in the fields of public opinion and technology.

US Soviet Space Competition

1957The Soviet Union sent humanity's first artificial satellite into space.

1961The Soviet Union successfully sent the first astronaut Gagarin into space.

At that time, the Soviet Union had a clear advantage over the United States in the field of space.

The successive successes of the Soviet space program were like huge slaps on the face of the US government, talking about the world's number one technological power or the world's lighthouse?

Americans can no longer sit still and decide to save face.

At that time, many people were not optimistic about the "crazy" plan of the United States, and even NASA scientists remained cautious and skeptical.

But in the1972After the last time Americans landed on the moonNeither the United States nor the Soviet Union has conducted any further lunar landing activities.

What caused the two superpowers to suddenly give up their obsession with the moon?

Why did the Soviets not land on the moon

At the beginning, the Soviet Union led the United States in the field of aerospace, and at that time, the Soviet Union also had its own lunar landing plan and was aware of the Apollo program being carried out by the Americans.

At that time, the Soviet Union had two lunar landing plans,One is to assemble spacecraft in spaceThen fly to the moon, which requires at least 15 launches.

The other is to directly launch a lunar spacecraftBut it was necessary to manufacture a super giant rocket with a carrying capacity 15 times stronger than the most advanced A-2 rocket in the Soviet Union at that time. At that time, the United States did not even have an advanced rocket similar to the A-2.

The Soviet Union was far ahead of the United States in the space race, leading toKhrushchev made a serious misjudgmentHe believed that the so-called Apollo program in the United States was just propaganda.

Therefore,The Soviet Union adopted a "conservative" lunar landing planI plan to launch an unmanned spacecraft around the moon first, and then launch itManned spacecraft,Finally, land on the moon.
