Russian mind has been haunted by the Moon in all times. Last century it was one of the most significant Soviet missions – to reach the natural satellite of the Earth and explore it. And the country succeeded.
The other side of the Moon.
We always see only one side of the Moon, so quite naturally people were guessing what was there on the other side. They went rather far in their imagination and could go even further if the Soviet automatic interplanetary station “Moon 3″ didn’t present the photos of the hidden side on October 7th, 1959.
Those photos served as a basis for creation of a detailed Moon map, it was finally made by three Soviet astronomic institutions as well as the globe of the satellite with its hidden side.

What Is It Like to Live in the Northernmost Place of Russia?
Best check your facts. The Russians never landed on the moon. They never succeeded in landing any manned missions and had much difficulty in even getting a probe to go there.
…” The Russians never landed on the moon…..”. Wow! Really? You are Genious! Tell us more!
LOLZ
Nobody said they landed a man on the moon – take a course in remedial reading.
As for the rest, you’re kidding, right?
The history of the CCCP´s spaceprogram was a great leap for man.
Wow…what a bunch of Soviet bullshit. US presence on the moon still questioned yet Soviet presence is not? what a crock of shit.
…”US presence on the moon still questioned…”. Mostly by looney Americans themselves! The same crazy bunch who “believe” that Climate Change doesn’t exist, that the science behind Evolution is a “myth”, and who also “believe” that Dinosaurs and Mankind were “created” in the same day.
LOL.
“what a bunch of Soviet bullshit….”. LOL. The Soviets never questioned the Moon Landings. Only American nutjobs do that.
Actually, the French started it, then some moron made the movie Capricorn One. Then that’s about the time conspiracy theories started.
American presence on the Moon is still 100% proven. As is every one of your probe landing sites!!! Its called the LROC Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter….
“American presence on the Moon is still questioned, but presence of Soviet Lunokhods (Moonwalkers) there is undoubted.”
Yeah, ok…..
“American presence on the Moon is still questioned, but presence of Soviet Lunokhods (Moonwalkers) there is undoubted.”
Ha! What a joke! Every Soviet kid knows, that Lunokhods were just toys which were sold in the Soviet stores (I had one when I was a kid), and have nothing to do with the Moon.
“American presence on the Moon is still questioned, but presence of Soviet Lunokhods (Moonwalkers) there is undoubted.”
For my Russian friends, if you ever dispute America’s landing on the moon, please do not have a conversation with “Buzz” Aldrin, the 2nd man on the moon behind Neil Armstrong. He takes people saying we didn’t land on the moon VERY seriously
Congrats to the Russian people though, on being the first in space, and landing craft on the moon.
Russians/Soviets never doubted the awesome Apollo moon landings. They even sent a Soyuz craft to dock in orbit with the last Apollo mission, as a sign of recognition and friendshiop (at least, in space).
But some uneducated fat rednecks from the U.S. “think” that the Apollo missions were “fake”… in every space they get. And very loudly.
It was us “fat rednecks” who put man on the moon. Werner Von Brauns home office was right here in Huntsville Alabama where 80% of all current manned and unmanned missions originate from. Almost all of NASAs directors have come from Marshall Space Flight Center. But I digress, I will say this, considering that from my office window which has a great view of the RD-180 we tested in 1998 here. I would say that the current Russian Space Program hinges on cooperation with us “fat rednecks”. I showed this to my counterpart a “fat Russian redneck”. He called you a “Putin Moscovite” which he said is similar to being a fat redneck. Lol! Yes, I work for NASA 😌
Hell yeah Scout19K, Im a Tour Guide out at KSC for a private company. Well said my friend hehe!!!! Give them damn dirty Ruskies whet fer!!!
Haha!! “Fat rednecks” did nothing. Even today, they are still believing that Darwin is a kind of demon, and many are still dreaming with lynching and enslaving their black people all over again! They seem to be stuck in the XIX Century… That’s why this crazy bunch don’t believe the Moon Landings could happen. Fun to watch.
…”Give them damn dirty Ruskies whet fer!….”. LOLZ
What is it like being a moron? Ask Phillip Jennings!
Love your butthurt. Fun to watch.
Dude…I’m 53….there is no butt hurt. This forum, like you, makes me laugh. Keep me laughing! Have a great day!!
“What is it like being a moron?…” LOL
“Dude…I’m 53….there is no butt hurt…” Hahah!!
Please confirm it again. It’s fun!
…”It was us “fat rednecks” who put man on the moon….”. No. Smart Americans and Germans did that, so relax… The Soviets/Russians were the first to confirm the American Moon Landing in 1969.
But the Redneck Conspiracy Fat Nuthobs are the first to ignore and forget great achievements, and “believe” easily all kinds of unsupported crap. If you are one, that’s your funny problem.
Good luck with that!
Jesus, this website has beautiful photo essays and the frequency of new content makes me visit here often, BUT the delusional level of patriotism stinks up the whole place to the point where it ruins entire presentations. I can handle small jabs at the US here and there, and the glorification of the mediocrity of Russia, but false claims and misinformation is where this website loses all respect.
+1
Yes. The suggested “doubt” about the NASA’s manned moonlandings is a mistake by ER. The moonlandings still are a remarkable feat in human history. As well as the success of Gagarin, Tereshkova and the Sputnik. Possibly this site gave in to the loud claims of some schyzoid, screaming americans who claim almost everything is “fake”.
About the “glorification of mediocrity”, seems you have never watched FOX “News”.
The Soviets/Russians never questioned the Moon Landings at the time, or the Apollo Program’s historic success. Only some freak Americans have that funny “doubt” about their own remarkable achievement.
Why they are so crazy? Well, that’s the really interesting question.
Nothing has been done by Russians on the Moon because no Russian has ever been on the Moon.
LOL. The Soviets (that mneans, your “Russians”) didn’t put a man on the Moon, but sent unmanned probes and orbited it many times. Don’t worry so much. They confirmed Apollo’s success story. Armstrong and Gagarin have their place safe in Human History, despite your strange emotions about this.
Gorbachev is a traitor saboteur and agent of CIA.
The Moon Landings were fake, and yes, almighty God created us with the dinosaurs, but WE were saved in the Flood! What is wrong with you people??
OMG… Everything is wrong with you. Confirmed.
LOL. I love it.
Dinos and “the Almighty”? The “Flood”? Oh, dear…
“American presence on the Moon is still questioned”
Not sure what you mean by this. We’ve landed men on the moon 6 times.
the only people who question the US presence are idiots here in the US.
