A pale face appeared in the video.

The time displayed in the lower right corner is January 2017, 1, 2:21 p.m.

The background is a bright, white room that looks like a warehouse for an accomplished researcher, with many equipment, computers, tools, and drawings.
Hansen was wearing an old knitted sweater, and his skinny body formed a sharp contrast with the fluffy sweater.

After taking a sip of coffee, he showed a rare look of relief. If there was anything he still missed, it was probably coffee. His sense of taste had actually degenerated and there was nothing left, but the aroma of coffee was still the same as it was decades ago.
After a moment's silence, Hansen Doyle looked in the direction of the camera and said;

"My name is Hansen Doyle. I was born in 1940. I graduated from California Institute of Technology with a double doctorate in aerospace and mathematics. I have worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA."

The skinny hand held up two documents, one was the Social Security Number (SSN) and the other was the driver's license.

"You can search for me on the Internet, such as Google, NASA's official website, or the list of tenured professors at Caltech. The latest news about me is probably the failure of the 'Eye of Artemis' lunar exploration project a few dozen hours ago. I was the project leader."

After saying this, Hansen felt a bitter taste rising up and he took another sip of coffee.

"I swear on my personal honor and the Bible that everything I am going to say is true, and I will also provide relevant evidence."

"If the person who saw this video had just checked my identity, then they should have been able to see it."

"I am a researcher who participated in the Apollo Program. What I am going to talk about today is history for most people, but it is my personal experience for me."

"In order to ensure that these contents will not be destroyed and can be spread to more people, I will submit them to the 'True History Foundation' after they are completed. If they are accepted and rewarded, please donate them to the United Nations Women and Children's Fund on my behalf. Money has no meaning to me anymore."

"Let's get to the point. I'm going to answer a question that involves many secrets and has been hotly debated around the world for decades."

"Is the Apollo program real? Did we successfully land a man on the moon?"

"The fact is that the Apollo program was real but we didn't go to the moon."

January 1, Shanghai, Smart Building.

On the first working day after the New Year's Day holiday, Zhou Rui was discussing important matters with Gan Yuan.

"I have some ideas about room temperature superconductivity and strong magnetic confinement, which may greatly optimize the nuclear fusion device based on the 'Tokamak' route. I am going to set up a new company, 'Kuafu Energy', and include 'multivalent manganese super energy storage liquid' in it."

"But it's too troublesome to do everything by myself. I also need to devote my energy to the 'Moon Palace Project'. Can you ask China National Nuclear Corporation if they have any ideas for cooperation?"

Gan Yuan smiled and said, "I'll contact them right away. I even had a chat with their person in charge during the Science and Technology Expo."

"Oh why?"

"Because I always feel that one day you will turn your attention to the field of controlled nuclear fusion."

Just as he was about to say a few warm words to the secretary, the sound of high heels came from a distance. Lin Xiaoxiao, wearing a beautiful professional suit, walked slowly with her slender legs. "Mr. Zhou, the True History Foundation has received a special submission. I think it is very important. You need to take a look."

Zhou Rui took the tablet curiously.

In the picture, there is a pale and skinny old man.

"My name is Hanson Doyle, born in 1940."

Inside the bright warehouse, Hansen Dalton paused and continued.

"If I want to explain this clearly and convince everyone, I need to start from the beginning. I'm not sure how rigorous history is in the current education system, so I might say more."

"The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1, launched by the former Soviet Union in October 1957, and the first time humans claimed to have landed on the moon was in July 10, a difference of only 1969 years."

"In just 12 years, we have gone from just exploring the outer orbit of the atmosphere to sending humans to the moon, 38 kilometers away, to set foot on it. This is an incredible speed."

"Interestingly, the first artificial satellite was launched by the Soviet Union. In 1957, the first human-made satellite to land hard on the moon was also launched by the Soviet Union. In 1959, the first satellite to photograph the far side of the moon was also launched by the Soviet Union. Just two months later, the first manned space flight was launched by the Soviet Union. In 1962, the first unmanned soft landing on the moon was also launched by the Soviet Union in 1966. The first unmanned return from lunar orbit was also launched by the Soviet Union in 1968."

"But the first and only manned lunar landing was by the United States in 1969."

"In the fifteen years between 1957 and 1972, the Soviet Union conducted as many as 40 lunar exploration missions. At the peak of the mission, there were lunar exploration rocket launches every month. They sent many things up there, and most of them were the first for mankind."

"At a time when telephones were not yet widely available in many places, they had already challenged the boundaries of human cognition and achieved many achievements that shocked even professionals, and all this was against the backdrop of the Cold War."

"Many people say that the manned moon landing was a miracle, but in fact, before 1969, almost all miracles related to the moon were created by the Soviets."

"In recent decades, a new theory has emerged that the Soviet Union spared no effort to develop aerospace because the United States' 'space race' plan deliberately made the Soviet Union consume massive resources to compete for a meaningless field, which eventually dragged down their economy. But there is a paradox here."

"Because, for one thing, the Soviet Union's economic collapse began in the 80s, but they gave up the space race in the early 70s."

"Second, the United States won the deceptive space race in the end. Does this mean that the United States deliberately deceived the Soviets and the Soviets tried their best, but in the end the United States still won? But exploring the universe is not that easy, and I have a lot to say about this."

Hansen's tone was flat and no emotion could be seen.

He said slowly:
"As a person who has personally experienced the debate over the past few decades, I tend to look at it from a third-party perspective. Whether it is supporters or skeptics, I cannot speak out, but I have indeed witnessed the changes in the way people discuss the 'moon landing'."

"The argument that resonated most with everyone was: If the U.S. moon landing was fake, why didn't the Soviets question it? It was the Cold War, and they had 100 reasons to expose the U.S. lie."

"This kind of argument allows an ordinary person who has no scientific knowledge and cannot verify the facts to perfectly accept this logic."

"But the truth is, everyone."

“If the Americans can fake it, why can’t the Soviets?”
