Why does Neil Armstrong's footprint on the Moon not match the shoe sole?

'This is a small step of a human being, but a giant step of humanity' is the sentence of Neil Armstrong when he placed his first foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

However, somewhere according to the analysis on social networks, there are still doubts raised when finding his footprint left on the Moon does not match the sole of the shoes that he is on display in the museum. .

It has been compared to the astronaut's footprints taken in 2015 set at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with the first photograph of the footprint on the Moon.

Armstrongs' footprints on the Moon do not match the shoe soles displayed in the museum.

Later, it was discovered that in addition to the Apollo / Skylab A7L suit that Armstrongs and the crew wore, they had many other tools. Specifically, a pair of shoes cover the main shoes. These shoes cover the task of preventing dust and water from entering the main shoes. And the footprint left on the Moon is the sole of these shoes.

This pair of outsole shoes really made the first footprint on the Moon.

Its scans proved it.

"The first footprints will remain there for 1 million years, because on the Moon there is no wind to blow it away" - NASA said.

So why are the oversized shoes not displayed in the museum like other equipment?

The reason is that Apollo 11 crew had to leave the Moon about 100 items to reduce the weight of the spacecraft. Items left behind include lenses, body waste and other anonymous shoe covers.

Neil Armstrongs also stated that the greatest achievement of the Apollo 11 mission was not the steps on the Moon, but the successful landing of the Moon lander, instead of being knocked out of the ship.
