Why do humans go to the moon? We are in an era full of changes and challenges. In this era, hope and fear coexist, and knowledge and ignorance coexist; The more knowledge we acquire, the more ignorance we show. Why should we share the following information about human landing on the moon?

Why did man land on the moon 1 The significance of man landing on the moon lies in:

First, the dream of landing on the moon has been realized for thousands of years.

Second, it makes the moon an outpost for human beings to explore the outside world.

Third, it has taken the first step for human beings to explore the living space outside the earth.

Fourth, it laid a foundation for human beings to find natural resources outside the earth.

Fifth, the leading countries on the moon have gained a strategic advantage over other countries in space.

The significance of China's landing on the moon;

Landing on the moon can make it an outpost for human beings to explore the universe and find alien life, and realize the Chinese dream of flying to the moon for thousands of years, which is of great significance in economy, science and technology, national development strategy and so on.

The moon is an inexhaustible treasure house of energy. The moon is rich in titanium, iron, uranium, thorium, rare earth, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sodium, potassium, nickel, chromium, manganese and other minerals. There are at least 654.38+000 billion tons of exploitable titanium in Yuehai basalt alone. According to the Global Times, kryptonite is one of the main rock types on the moon, so it is named because it is rich in potassium (K), rare earth elements (REE) and phosphorus (P).

According to the recent detection data of Clementine and lunar probes, the storm ocean area on the front of the moon may be the distribution area of krypton, and then the genetic mechanism of krypton exposed on or near the surface of the moon is analyzed, and its thickness is estimated to be10-20km. According to the model calculation of some experts, the resources of rare earth elements, thorium and uranium in Kripke rock are about 6. 700 million tons, 80 million. 400 million and 300 million tons. 600 million tons.

According to the collected moon rock samples, the moon not only contains all the elements on the earth, but also contains a large number of 55 minerals, 6 of which are not found on the earth. In addition to the abundant minerals in the moon rocks and the stable solar energy on the moon surface, the moon dust is also rich in gases formed by the accumulation of solar wind particles, such as hydrogen, helium, neon, argon, nitrogen and other useful gases, especially the nuclear fusion fuel "Helium 3", which is very rich.

According to experts' preliminary estimation, the total amount of helium 3 resources in lunar soil can reach1-5 million tons. Helium 3 is an efficient, clean, safe and cheap fuel for nuclear fusion power generation. 100 ton helium 3 can meet the global electricity demand for one year, and the electricity generated by 10 ton helium 3 can meet the electricity consumption of China for one year. At the current level of energy consumption, this is enough for human use 1 10,000 years!

In the near future, the earth will face the danger of exhaustion of minerals and oil. If China people land on the moon, we can make use of its rich minerals and energy as a supplement to the earth's energy and promote the sustained, healthy and rapid development of the national economy.

The moon is also an ideal place to study cosmology, astrochemistry, space physics, life science, observation science and materials science. There are special space environment resources on the moon: ultra-high vacuum, no atmospheric activity, no magnetic field, stable geological structure, weak gravity, no pollution and abundant cosmic rays. We can make use of its special space environment to carry out scientific and technological research activities such as space material processing, space pharmacy and space breeding.

It is much easier to set up a launch site on the moon and launch a deep space probe than on the earth. The moon can not only be used as a natural launching platform, but also an ideal transit station for space exploration. The establishment of an observatory on the moon is not limited by the earth's atmosphere, and it is an ideal station for observing the sky and monitoring the earth. The moon's atmosphere is extremely thin, and the temperature at night is low and stable, which is very conducive to improving and expanding the accuracy and scope of astronomical observation.

Since the rotation of the moon is the same as that of period of revolution, 14 Earth Days can be continuously observed at night on the surface of the moon. Therefore, establishing an observation network on the surface of the moon can not only carry out all-round and continuous astronomical observation, but also monitor and study the geological structure and environmental changes of the earth, especially the possible threat posed by small space objects to the earth.

Once meteorites, comets and other celestial bodies are found to be moving in the direction of the earth and may hit the earth, measures can be taken in time to destroy them or change their running direction, thus playing a role in protecting mankind.

1984, the Agreement on the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies adopted by the United Nations clearly stipulates: "The moon and its natural resources are the common property of mankind, and no country, group or individual may take them for himself. The exploration, development and utilization of the moon have no political boundaries. Whoever arrives first will get it first. Whoever develops first will use it first. "

The United States and the Soviet Union have done a lot of detailed and extensive research. If China does not act as soon as possible, it will be difficult to occupy a place in this vast land in the future. Landing on the moon is of great strategic significance to future generations.

China's landing on the moon will mark the expansion of our activities into space. Every change in the field of activities has greatly enhanced the ability of human beings to understand and transform nature and promoted the sustained and rapid development of social productive forces. The first change in the field of human activities was from land to sea, which promoted the industrial revolution and brought mankind into the steam engine era.

When the field of human activities continues to expand into the atmosphere and the second revolution is realized, developed traffic and smooth communication lead mankind to a highly developed information age. When the field of human activities extends to space, human beings will begin to use and develop the extremely rich resources contained in space, and enable human beings to use the whole universe to solve social development problems-this will certainly bring a new revolution, promote great progress in all fields of human society and greatly liberate and develop productive forces!

For the first time, we were still in the dream of "going to China". The second change is that we are still busy achieving food and clothing; Today, in the face of the third change in the morning glow, the powerful China must not be missed!

Why do people go to the moon? As we all know, the moon is a quiet and desolate planet, with no life, no air, large temperature difference between day and night and strong radiation. The surface of the moon is uneven and covered with large and small impact craters. It can be said that the moon is a barren and desolate world, so what do people go to the moon for? In fact, there are many reasons for humans to go to the moon. We might as well give a few examples to illustrate.

The surface of the moon is uneven and covered with craters of all sizes.

(1) The moon can provide us with new resources and energy. There are hundreds of mineral resources such as titanium, aluminum, oxygen, silicon and helium in the soil and rocks of the moon, some of which are rare and precious resources on the earth.

(2) The moon is an ideal station for observing the sky and monitoring the earth. Because there is no atmospheric absorption and electromagnetic interference, the moon is an ideal place for radio astronomical observation. The moon always faces the earth on the same side, and the establishment of an earth observation station on this side will continuously monitor the geological structure and environmental changes of the earth's sphere.

(3) The special environment on the moon makes it a natural laboratory for scientific research and an ideal base for producing special products. The moon has no magnetic field, the acceleration of gravity is only 1/6 of that of the earth, and the surface of the moon is in a vacuum environment. This special environment enables many research and experiments that cannot be carried out on the earth to be carried out on the moon.

(4) The moon is a transit station into deep space. People can also use the moon resources to produce liquid propellant for rockets. When carrying out manned Mars exploration missions in the future, astronauts can also train at the lunar base for a long time to prepare for flying to Mars.

(5) The moon is a scientific research place for human beings to deeply understand the earth and the solar system. By studying the "traces" of the early formation and evolution of the moon, people can have a deeper understanding of the origin and evolution of the earth and the solar system.

(6) Promote the development of high technology. High technology is indispensable for lunar exploration, and the implementation of such a major project will also promote the development of high technology.

Judging from the development law of space science and technology, human beings will not stay in the earth orbit, but will inevitably enter deeper space, which is also the instinct of human beings to explore the universe. When space technology has enabled human beings to leave the earth, the moon, as the nearest neighbor of the earth, has become the first choice for human beings to explore extraterrestrial planets. Therefore, fundamentally speaking, the eternal desire to explore the unknown world is the source of our exploration of the moon.

Why do people go to the moon? Since ancient times, human beings have been longing for the vast starry sky. There are many stars in the universe, and these stars have some unknown secrets waiting for human beings to explore.

And human beings have never stopped exploring it, constantly exploring in the universe, hoping to uncover these secrets. Among the stars that explore the universe, the moon is the planet that human beings contact most in the process of exploring space.

The moon is the most studied planet, and the legend about the moon has lasted for thousands of years. The first country in the world was the United States, which landed on the moon six times.

Speaking of which, we should have a question in our hearts. Why do humans go to the moon?

First of all, it must be because of the conditions of our earth itself. As we all know, after thousands of years of human development and utilization, the resources of the earth we live in have become less and less, and some even have disappeared. There may be too many teenagers on the earth who are no longer suitable for human habitation, which requires us to find a "second planet".

As the closest celestial body to the earth, the moon has naturally become our human goal. Secondly, in these decades, China, the United States, Indian, Israeli and other countries have carried out various lunar exploration projects. Landing on the moon is also a scientific and technological competition to show the strength of all countries. No one wants to fall behind, which is the conclusion drawn by scientists' research on the moon.

Although the size of the moon is only /49 of that of the earth, the reserves of rare metals are much more than that of the earth. In the latest research, the evidence of ice water on the moon has been found, which makes people more yearning.

Deuterium and helium -3 can fuse. This fusion will not produce neutrons, and the reaction process is easy to control. It is a pollution-free and safe elemental material, which can be used in ground nuclear power plants and space navigation. However, helium -3 is rare on the earth, and the known available helium -3 is only about 500 kilograms in the world. According to the study of the lunar crust, it is found that the shallow layer of the lunar crust contains millions of tons of helium -3.

It is worth mentioning that the initial landing on the moon began in the context of the hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union, and the current landing on the moon is also the best testimony to test a country's scientific and technological hard power. Just as only the United States has achieved manned landing on the moon at present, the next country with manned landing on the moon must be even more powerful!
