The Moon Landing: How It Really Happened and What the Soviets HID from Us!

Chapters

About this episode

The history we were taught in school is only a fragment of the dramatic story of the greatest technical contest in human history. The real background of the Soviet failure and the technical limits of the era reveal a world full of extreme risk, sacrifice and strategic errors. Today's guest is Slovak space populariser, co-creator of the programme Destinácia vesmír and advocate for building a planetarium in Bratislava - Michal Novota, who will help us decode the truth about the space race between the USA and the USSR. Why do many people not believe in the Moon landing? Was the Moon landing a real triumph of technology or just a brilliantly staged show? Why did the Soviets lose the space race? What evidence do we have that the Americans landed on the Moon? What stopped the Apollo program? Which object was first in space? What all did the Kremlin keep secret from the world? How many lives did the conquest of space cost? Why has humanity not returned to the Moon for more than 50 years? What awaits us in the new race to build the first lunar base? Why do we need to return to the Moon? You will find the answers to these questions in the newest TROSHCAST episode, which is available FOR FREE!
