apollo skip to content category apollo was nasa s first launch delay its most significant published on may 4 2012 may 4 2012 by asteitel 10 comments in january 1961 the pieces of the manned spaceflight puzzle were slowly coming together nasa had a capsule astronauts to ride inside it and rockets to launch it the capsule had even successfully launched on top of the rocket the missing piece was the go ahead for astronauts to launch inside a capsule but flight surgeons and rocket engineers were playing it safe had they been a little more bold alan shepard could have been history s first man in space instead wernher von braun s concern that his rocket might explode and kill an astronaut delayed shepard s launch and secured his position as the first american in suborbital space left alan shepard on the morning of his may 5 1961 suborbital flight continue reading was nasa s first launch delay its most significant categories apollo gemini manned spaceflight mercury soviet tags

morning on friday november 14 1969 apollo 12 launched from kennedy space centre towards the ocean of storms on the near side of the moon it was a nominal launch at least for the first 37 seconds then all hell broke loose threatening to end the mission before it had even begun left the view of apollo 12 on its saturn v just before liftoff after nasa had committed to the launch the dark skies and rainy weather are clearly visible in this shot continue reading apollo 12 s electrifying launch categories apollo history of space science manned spaceflight unlucky apollo 13 published on april 13 2012 by asteitel 4 comments when apollo 13 launched on april 11 1970 the world wasn t all that excited going to the moon had become routine the vietnam war and paul mccartney leaving the beatles were bigger stories in america the one aspect of the mission that did have people talking was its numeric designation 13 man s greatest scientific endeavour was about to go head to head with one of its most enduring superstitions read my full article on discovery news left the damage sustained to apollo 13 s service module when the oxygen tank exploded taken by the crew before reentry 1970 it s worth noting that nasa has never since launched nor does it plan to launch another mission designated 13 categories apollo manned spaceflight tags american apollo lovell manned spaceflight moon nasa how nasa didn t drive on the moon published on april 6 2012 by asteitel leave a comment when president kennedy promised america a moon landing in 1961 getting there was only part of the challenge the astronauts would need to go outside explore the surface and to make to most of their time there cover as much of the lunar surface as possible on this last point nasa considered multiple methods before settling on the lunar rover we all recognize from pictures of apollo 15 16 and 17 read my full article at america space left a prototype for the lunar bike is tested in a one sixth gravity

categories apollo manned spaceflight tags apollo moon nasa recovering apollo 11 s engines from the atlantic published on march 31 2012 by asteitel 4 comments this week amazon com founder and ceo jeff bezos announced a bold plan to recover at least one of apollo 11 s engines from the bottom of the atlantic the engines sunk to the briny deep after the saturn v s spent first stage jettisoned a little less than three minutes after launch on july 16 1969 bezos team of underwater experts armed with state of the art sonar technology have located the engines and he hopes to donate the recovered hardware to the museum of flight in seattle but nasa still owns the engines and the agency gets to decide what happens to this piece of history which may not even be form apollo 11 at all it s an interesting proposal and however bezos plan for recovery unfolds its sure to be interesting particularly to historians check out my full article on motherboard left apollo 11 shortly after launch the first stage s five f 1 engines are responsible for the fiery trail the saturn v is leaving across the sky 1969 categories apollo manned spaceflight rockets tags american apollo nasa saturn v surveyor 3 apollo 12 and interplanetary microbes published on march 9 2012 by asteitel leave a comment this week nasa s lunar reconnaissance orbiter program released a striking image of the ocean of storms the picture shows two historic missions at once surveyor 3 and apollo 12 two missions that overlap in nasa s history the unmanned surveyor 3 landed in 1967 and in 1969 the apollo 12 lunar crew recovered pieces of its hardware and returned it to earth it was the first and so far only time humans have visited an unmanned spacecraft but there s more to the story microbes were found on the pieces of

precision landing november 1969 categories apollo vintage space fun fact tang in space published on february 13 2012 by asteitel 5 comments when people think about what nasa has done for the earth bound among us most cite the invention of space foam and tang among its greatest accomplishments that s not entirely true offshoots of technologies nasa has developed have given us things like lasik eye surgery and the ability to turn on appliances remotely from our smartphones also nasa didn t invent tang but tang s story does run parallel to nasa s left a 1960s advertisement for tang with an image of a gemini spacecraft in orbit that draws a comparison between the astronauts and the average consumer clever marketing continue reading vintage space fun fact tang in space categories apollo gemini manned spaceflight mercury tags apollo gemini manned spaceflight mercury program nasa painting rockets published on february 5 2012 february 12 2012 by asteitel 19 comments i recently built my first model a 1 144 scale saturn v i posted this picture of the painted but unassembled rocket online and it wasn t long before i got an email from a fellow space enthusiast he asked about the paint scheme i used he used the same design on a model years ago and neither of us followed the paint scheme of any saturn v that actually flew i d been so distracted following the directions and getting the lines straight that i didn t stop to look at where the lines were going it got me thinking about the saturn v s design scheme which might be one of the more interesting histories of paint turns out most of the readily accessible information is geared towards model builders that s all well and good but it didn t tell me why german built launch vehicles have always varied their paint scheme

published on january 28 2012 by asteitel 23 comments last week republican presidential hopeful newt gingrich made a bold claim by the end of my second term 2020 we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be american on the surface it s an intriguing and even exciting prospect to space enthusiasts a base on the moon would extend human presence in the solar system and act as a stepping stone on the way to mars or it could bankrupt nasa and prove to be little more than an ill thought out dead end program gingrich proposed a lunar base by 2020 in florida on january 25 2012
