Space mythology: from Martian Atlanteans to the lunar conspiracy

"Ancient people flew into space!", "Gagarin was not the first cosmonaut!", "Americans faked the Moon landing!", "Cosmonauts met aliens and angels!". Such headlines are often found in the press. There would be no great harm in them if the myths generated by journalists did not form a conspiracy worldview that denies not only the known history of cosmonautics but also the achievements of modern science. Space mythology is easily debunked by facts, but to get to them, knowledge and experience are required. Anton Pervushin's book, a writer and science journalist, will help navigate the streams of information and learn to separate truth from fiction. Whether to believe the myths or not is a personal choice, but it is much more interesting to get to the truth.
