It is reported that Vince middot, curator of the international espionage Museum in Washington; Dr. Horton revealed that after the Soviet Union took the lead in launching the world's first man-made satellite, the United States almost went crazy. " The United States and the West have always regarded themselves as leaders in the field of science and technology. However, after the launch of the Soviet satellite, the West was frightened and the US government decided to take action & lsquo; Do something amazing & rsquo;, Let the world know that the Soviet Union's artificial satellite was just a flash in the pan, & lsquo; America is still the biggest kid in the neighborhood
Horton said that the U.S. action to detonate a nuclear bomb on the moon is known as the 'a119 project'. At that time, the United States believed that if the nuclear bomb was detonated successfully on the moon, half of the earth could see the mushroom cloud rising from the moon. However, after a long-term demonstration, it is found that nuclear explosion can indeed form smoke and dust. However, because there is no atmosphere like the earth on the moon, the smoke and dust will spread in all directions and cannot form the huge mushroom cloud seen on the earth. In addition, the huge cost is also one of the reasons why the 'a119 project' was shelved.
On July 20, 1969, NASA astronaut Neil middot; Armstrong and buzz & middot; Aldrin became the first man to walk on the moon before the Soviet astronauts. This major success finally enabled the United States to completely eliminate the idea of "nuclear bomb bombing the moon." The a119 project was finally declassified in 2000 with the dull title "lunar flight research". It is reported that Dr. Horton's new book "nuclear attack on the moon" will reveal a series of extremely shocking plots planned during the cold war, but these plots have never been implemented.
