However, there's no way this is true. The moon, as +we see at night, is actually a spherical lump of rock. It looks small only +because it's far away from us. In fact, it is 1737km in radius and +7.342e19t in mass, both much larger and heavier than anything humans +have made. Despite the United States' unsurpassable power in engineering +amidst the Cold War, it was impossible for NASA to build a fake moon +identical to the real one in dimension, let alone quietly propel it into +the orbit where the latter belongs without the Soviet Union noticing. They +would only have a few hours' window in which to perform the manipulations, +before the sun sets in USSR. This is as practical as trying to escape an +earthquake on a segway. Therefore, what the pioneers landed on fifty +years ago was *the* real moon, not a fake one. + +Thank you for coming to my TED talk. |
