Note on the illustration: The Earth in the background does not look good and the Russian flag looks distorted. Prognosis for the success of the mission „prevention of the moon landing“: Critical
Preventing the Moon Landing Program:
Your entity could seek to prevent or influence the U.S. moon landing program to minimize its impact on the environment and humans.
What would be the possible consequences of preventing the moon landing?
Preventing the moon landing could have several possible consequences, including:
Changes in superpower competition:
Without the moon landing, the relationship between the superpowers, the U.S. and the USSR, could deteriorate and lead to an intensification of the Cold War.
Impairment of technology development:
The moon landing was a milestone in technology development and had an impact on fields such as space travel, computer science, and communications. Without the moon landing, this development could slow down or be completely different.
Affecting public interest in science and technology:
The moon landing stimulated interest in science and technology And inspired a generation of scientists and engineers. Without the moon landing, that enthusiasm could wane.
Changes in Public Opinion:
The moon landing was a significant moment in American history and had a major impact on public opinion. Without the moon landing, public opinion could change regarding government and politics.
That actually all argues against preventing the moon landing, do you agree?
Yes, it does. Based on the potential consequences described above, preventing the moon landing could have unintended negative consequences for the past, present, and future. Therefore, it might be better to take other approaches to positively change the past without causing unintended negative consequences.
Which approach would you recommend?
Recommendations may vary depending on the values, beliefs, and priorities of the time-traveling entity ME. Here are a few possible approaches that might be considered depending on ME’s goals:
Preventing belligerent events:
One possibility might be to prevent certain warmongering events that have occurred in the past and that have subsequently led to conflict.
Promoting social movements:
Another approach could be to support social movements that work for justice and freedom.
Preventing natural disasters:
Another approach could be to prevent natural disasters or minimize their impact in order to protect people’s lives and property.
Supporting scientific and technological advances:
Another option could be to support advances in areas such as science and technology to improve humanity in the long run.
It is important to note that any change in the past can have unpredictable effects on the future, so caution and consideration is essential in any decision.
