Recently, one news spread around the world. A certain American blogger, famous ufologist and virtual archaeologist George Graham, speaking on YouTube video hosting under the pseudonym Streetcap1, made one discovery. According to him, he was looking at photographs of the Apollo 17 mission. In one photograph, in the reflection visible in the visor of the astronaut's spacesuit helmet, he noticed a man without (!) A spacesuit. Allegedly, he was wearing only jeans and an imitation of a spacesuit. Thus, the blogger suggested that the Apollo mission was done on Earth. All the photographs were edited in the studio, but no one flew to the moon. Unfortunately, this nonsense was picked up in our country. The blogger was warmly supported, even by domestic, well-known politicians. However, this is clear to me. The current successes of Russia in astronautics are very modest, and since there is nothing more to boast about, I want to believethat the United States has never been on the moon. By the way. The author of this article was born and lived in the USSR. We didn't even have a shadow of a doubt that the Americans were on the moon. Since we had a real education. And not what is now considered as such. Therefore, I will try to explain everything.
At the time of the last expeditions to the moon, and in the photograph the mission Apollo 17. There were two different space suits on board the spacecraft. True, one brand, but different models. Basic model of the spacesuit: Apollo A7-LB EVA Suit, ILC Industries, 1971, worn by an astronaut with a movie camera in his hands. She has a large knapsack on her shoulder. It is big due to the fact that there is a radio station at the top of it. It was used when a person was far away from the ship. The second model is much simpler. The satchel is small. Does not enter from behind. There is no radio block. It was used when they did not depart far from the ship. It is precisely the astronaut in this spacesuit that is reflected in the glass of the helmet.
As you can see, there is no mysticism or conspiracy. There were indeed Americans on the moon. No matter how unpleasant it was for us. Alas. With regard to the American blogger, they will say this. To dishonor your country, to the whole world, is very mean and not decent. Moreover, using such a primitive fake. However, I think he never knew what I read about, literally, after a couple of minutes of searching on the Internet. That's the whole story.
