| In July 1969, people around the world witnessed America's greatest achievement: NASA succeeded in landing a man on the moon, and in the effort, won its space race against the USSR. 1969年7月，全世界的人目睹了美国历史上最伟大的成就：“美国国家航空航天局”（NASA）成功地实现了人类登月，这项壮举使美国在太空竞赛中领先于苏联。 Millions of people were breathlessly watching black-and-white images of Neil Armstrong bounding across a rocky landscape. 数百万观众屏息拭目观看尼尔·阿姆斯特朗跃过岩丘景观的黑白画面。 But did these millions actually witness a man on the moon? 但是这数百万观众真的目睹了在月球上的人吗？ Many people believe in a lunar conspiracy: that the U.S. government filmed the Apollo missions in a movie studio. 许多人相信有一个“月亮阴谋”：美国政府在一座电影摄影棚里拍摄了阿波罗登月的任务。 Conspiracy theorists doubt that NASA had technology advanced enough to send a rocket to the moon, considering that, in those days, simple calculating computers were as big as houses and were very slow. 考虑到那时光简单运算用的电脑大如房屋而且速度很慢，阴谋论者怀疑NASA当时是否已掌握足够先进的科技将火箭发射至月球。 Even today, rocket scientists are unable to fire a rocket and have it land upright. 甚至在今天，火箭科学家仍无法发射火箭让它笔直地登陆月球。 Conspiracy theorists are curious: How can NASA claim to have done just that in the 1960s? 阴谋论者好奇的是：NASA怎么能在60年代就声称他们已成功做到了呢？ |
