论文摘要
在一个男人第一次踏上月球之后，半个世纪后，有趣的是用一定的事后重新审视这一场合。从基础科学的角度来看，最大的成就涉及Nordtvedt检验的实施，这是对爱因斯坦强有力原则的精确检查。粒子物理学家可能会勇敢地将结果解释为对三重 - 格拉维顿耦合的精确测量。其他并非如此深刻的实验也是（非正式地）在阿波罗飞行中进行的，例如对ESP的长距离测试（是！额外的感官感知）。从社会政治的角度来看，该课程涉及一个坚定而团结的国家可以实现的壮举……或一个以上。
Half a century after a man first set foot on the moon it is interesting to revisit the occasion with a measure of hindsight. From the point of view of basic science the greatest achievement concerned the implementation of the Nordtvedt test, a precise check of Einstein's strong equivalence principle. A particle physicist may bravely interpret the result as a precise measurement of the triple-graviton coupling. Other not so profound experiments were also (unofficially) made in Apollo flights, such as a long-distance test of ESP (yes! extra sensory perception). From a sociopolitical point of view the lesson concerns the feats that can be achieved by a determined and united country... or more than one.
