Were the Americans on the Moon?

[Веретенников Сергей]

For some reason, this question is still very relevant. It became especially topical with the emergence of flat-Earthers, who think that the Earth is flat.

Hmm. That is not the only thing they think—they say that the Moon is painted, Mars is painted... Comedians at work.

All right, back to reality.

As you have already realized, this was a video from 2020.

And this video talks about the Indian Chandrayaan-2 mission.

It was supposed to photograph traces of the Americans on the Moon. We are already in 2022. Chandrayaan-2 photographed this location for us.

And it looks like this:

The traces of human presence unequivocally prove that humans were on the Moon and walked on it. And they did not just walk—they jumped and even drove!

I have never doubted that the Americans were on the Moon; there are just two things I do not understand. The first is a video that appears to have been filmed in a studio, and they say it was filmed by S. Kubrick himself. I wonder whether that is true, and if so, what happened to the actual videos from the Moon—perhaps they were lost.
The second is Srila Prabhupada, who claimed that the Americans had not been on the Moon. Was he mistaken, or was he saying this for some other purpose? I do not understand. Apparently, according to the Vedas, the Moon is much farther away, and the Americans simply could not have reached it. Could the Vedas be referring to a different Moon?

They filmed in a studio, and they made films... That does not disprove that they also filmed on the Moon.

Prabhupada was talking about something else: the existence of other dimensions.

797979 , they say that in that real video from the Moon there were UFOs all around, and out of fear the astronauts behaved unlike the superheroes from Hollywood movies. To avoid shattering the average viewer’s assumptions, they decided to shoot it in a studio, staying as close to the original as possible—everything the same, but without the UFOs. At one point, after watching videos about a flat Earth, a Moon model instead of a planet, conspiracy theories, and “everything around us is a lie,” I still couldn’t decide for myself what was true and what wasn’t. So I asked myself why it bothered me so much—and then I calmed down.

Continuing the topic of the colored Moon, which I started a long time ago on the Your Yoga website, where I made several films on the subject. You have probably seen them.

This time I took a useful YouTube video in which an astronomer made a high-quality photograph from Earth. Similar photos are made by simply combining many photographs into one, to compensate for the distance and make the image more detailed.

I want to emphasize—from Earth. And he is just an amateur astronomer. There is no reason for him to convert all his photographs of the Moon to black and white.


I only slightly increased the color saturation of the final image from this video. In other words, the colors were already there—I just enhanced them a little.



I have already explained many times why the color needs to be enhanced, so I will not repeat myself.

As you know—or perhaps you follow space news—the most detailed photograph of the Moon in 2021 was taken by a 16-year-old Indian boy.

He combined 50,000 photographs into one.

This was an enormous amount of work. Prathamesh Jaju from the Indian city of Pune had been fascinated by the starry sky since childhood, and here is his photo:

Then, in 2022, amateur astrophotographers Andrew McCarthy and Connor Matherne, inspired by the boy’s work, did the same thing using 200,000 photographs—an even greater effort.
That means they obtained an even better and more detailed color photograph of the Moon from Earth.

Here is what they produced.

And photographs like these no longer need their colors enhanced—they already shout to us that the Moon is colored.
