NASA astronauts proved 55 years ago that the Earth is not flat

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on July 20, and Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on the Moon as the mission commander. China has also arrived in 2024, but on the dark side.

Aldrin followed, and both spent time on the surface collecting dust, planting the American flag, deploying scientific instruments, taking photographs, and placing the first plaque of humanity on the lunar surface. Along with the plaque, the crew also left the Apollo 1 mission patch and commemorative medals from their Soviet colleagues.

Once their two and a half hour lunar excursion was completed, the crew returned to the lunar module and began their rest period as part of the preparations for the ascent. The astronauts slept for seven hours on the Moon and then returned to the command module, piloted by Collins.

Some photographs that prove that the Earth is not flat, just in case there was any doubt

Before being able to dock with the orbiter, Collins had to locate the lunar module on the surface of the Moon. He saw it orbit the Moon several times and, as part of the contingency plan, Collins was also trained to land on the Moon and rescue the astronauts in case the landing module couldn’t reach it.

After Armstrong and Aldrin ascended to the command module, the ascent stage of the lunar module, which consists of the engine and other equipment, separated and entered a lunar orbit that, according to estimates, continued for decades.

As he approached the command module, Collings began taking photographs of his flight, several of which show the Earth visible as a globe in the background.

The docking with the command module marked the end of the lunar part of the Apollo 11 journey and the crew prepared to return to Earth. Upon their return, the crew would spend some time in quarantine, which would prove to be fruitless as NASA discovered that there was no life on the Moon.
