Apollo 11 Space Mission Anniversary: July 20 was a small but far-reaching step for mankind. 53 years ago from today, man made a giant leap and reached the earth of the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. It is considered to be the world's most prestigious space travel mission so far. However, rumors started spreading about this mission only after a few years. There was an attempt to prove that the mission was a hoax, a set-up to show the US victory in the space race against the Soviet Union.Team was made up of three peopleAccording to the report of 'Daily Star', the Apollo-11 spacecraft landed on the moon 53 years ago on 20 July 1969. The team of astronauts was made up of three people. These included Mission Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins.Michael did not land on the moonNeil was the first person to step on the moon, followed by Baj. Michael never actually got to walk on the Moon, but flew alone around the Moon while waiting for his colleagues to complete the mission.Why was the flag waving?However, after the American flag was seen waving on the surface of the moon, rumors were strengthened about how the flag was flying on the moon. In fact, NASA gave special flags to its astronauts, which were shaped horizontally to ensure a good picture was taken. Since there is no wind on the Moon and a normal flag is loose. These flags had a stick to help them hold their shape. The passengers of Apollo 11 had trouble moving the pole, due to which the flag appeared to be folded.stars not seen in the photoAt the same time, the rumor to Apollo Mission-11 was also strengthened by the fact that the stars are not visible anywhere in the photo. Many people were also surprised by the absence of stars in the pictures of the moon landing. However, this happened because the photo was taken during the day. Sunlight can be seen from the helmet and in images reflecting on the surface of the Moon and stars are not visible in sunlight.where was the cameraNo camera is visible in the photo, this is because Neil Armstrong was not walking around holding the camera, it was attached to his suit. It was specially fitted to make taking pictures easy.
