中新网7月15日电 7月20日是美国阿波罗11号宇宙飞船登月40周年纪念日，美国宇航局宣布将公开阿波罗11号录音以纪念这个伟大的日子。然而，质疑阿波罗登月造假的声音一直不绝于耳。英国《每日电讯报》网站为此列出了十大理由，证明登月完全“伪造”。
一、美国宇航员高高举起飘扬的星条旗时，月球上并没有风。
二、这幅由阿波罗宇航员在月球表面拍摄的照片上，看不到一个星星。
三、登月舱的照片上看不到爆炸的弹坑。
四、登月舱重达17吨，却在停留的沙地上未留下任何痕迹。然而，旁边宇航员的脚印却清晰可见。
五、宇航员的脚印是在月球精细的沙土中，那里没有湿气、大气与重力，却意想不到地保存得那么完整，好像是踩在潮湿的沙地上。
六、登月舱离开月球返回地球时，火箭上看不到火焰。
七、如果把宇航员在月球上漫步的录像快放，你会觉得这好像是在地球上拍摄的，只是放慢了播放速度。
八、暴露在范艾伦辐射带的放射物下，宇航员根本无法从月球活着回来。
九、从月球带回来的岩石，与科学家从南极洲采集的岩石是完全一样的。
十、所有六次登月都是在尼克松总统任内完成的，尽管40年来人类科技发展突飞猛进，却没有其他任何一位领导人能在任内完成登月的壮举。
英国电讯报的原文。其标题为：Apollo 11 Moon landing: conspiracy theories debunked（http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sciencean...-debunked.html ）
其实这篇文章恰恰是在反驳阿波罗登月阴谋论。不知道为什么到了“中新网”的记者编辑人员的手里就变成了“10条理由证明1969年阿波罗登月系“伪造””。
英国电讯报的这篇文章是在逐一解释（反驳）阴谋论者的质疑。下面是英文原文。
Apollo 11 Moon landing: conspiracy theories debunked
阿波罗11号登月：揭穿阴谋论
The following reasons have all been offered as proof that the Moon landings which began with Apollo 11's touchdown on July 20 1969 were faked.

1) When the astronauts are putting up the American flag it waves. There is no wind on the Moon.
The flag is held up by a horizontal bar and simply moves when it is unfurled and as the pole is being fixed into position by the astronauts. The flagpole is light, flexible aluminium and continues to vibrate after the astronauts let go, giving the impression of blowing in the wind.

2) No stars are visible in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon.
The Apollo landing takes place during lunar mornings, with the Sun shining brightly. Exposure time on the cameras is set very rapid so as not to let in too much light and obscure detail. The stars, whilst being visible to the naked eye on the Moon, are not bright enough to be captured in the photographs.
3) No blast crater is visible in the pictures taken of the lunar landing module.
The landing module touches down on solid rock, covered in a layer of fine lunar dust, so there is no reason why it would create a blast crater. Even if the ground were less solid, the amount of thrust being produced by the engines at the point of landing and take off is very low in comparison to a landing on Earth because of the relative lack of gravitational pull.
4) The landing module weighs 17 tons and yet sits on top of the sand making no impression. Next to it astronauts’ footprints can be seen in the sand.
The layer of lunar dust is fairly thin, so the landing module sits on the solid rock. The dust, whilst blown away by the blast from the descent engines, quickly settles back on the ground and is under the astronauts when they begin their moonwalk.
5) The footprints in the fine lunar dust, with no moisture or atmosphere or strong gravity, are unexpectedly well preserved, as if made in wet sand.
The lack of wind on the moon means the footprints in fine, dry lunar dust aren’t blown away in the way they would be if made in a similar substance on Earth.
6) When the landing module takes off from the Moon’s surface there is no visible flame from the rocket.
The rockets in the landing module are powered by fuel containing a combination of hydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide, which burn with no visible flame.
7) If you speed up the film of the astronauts walking on the Moon’s surface they look like they were filmed on Earth and slowed down.
The best you can say is: yes, a bit, but not really.
8) The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt.
This claim is largely based on a claim from a Russian cosmonaut. The short time it takes to pass through the belt, combined with the protection from the spacecraft, means any exposure to radiation would be very low.
9) The rocks brought back from the Moon are identical to rocks collected by scientific expeditions to Antarctica.
Some Moon rocks have been found on Earth, but they are all scorched and oxidised from their entry into the Earth’s atmosphere as asteroids. Geologists have confirmed with complete certainty that the Apollo rocks must have been brought from the Moon by man.
10) All six Moon landings happened during the Nixon administration. No other national leader has claimed to have landed astronauts on the Moon, despite 40 years of rapid technological development.
This is a favourite among conspiracy theorists because it needs no evidence but points the finger at the presidency of Richard Nixon. The fact is that after the Apollo landings, the race had been won and the money dried up. The USSR has no interest in coming second, and politicians on both side realised that lower-orbit missions had much greater commercial and military potential.
Do you agree? Are there any other theories which stand up to scutiny?
