Moon Landing History: 

#moon #apollo11 #moondocumentary #onegiantleepformankind

on July 20, 1969, you’ve probably seen footage of the first Moon landing, when astronaut Neil Armstrong famously declared, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind,” and Buzz Aldrin helped him plant an American flag on the lunar surface. And didn’t they also ride around in a golf cart? Or did they putt a few golf balls? Actually, that was Alan Shepard with a golf club during the Apollo 14 mission. And that wasn’t a golf cart. It was a lunar rover, and it also came later: David Scott and James Irwin used one for the first time during the Apollo 15 mission. Considering that Americans lost interest in watching missions to the Moon after the first landing, you can be forgiven for not keeping all the details straight. You might be wondering just how many missions and how many people have been to the Moon. In fact, during nine Apollo missions, 24 astronauts went to the Moon, and 12 of them had the opportunity to walk on it. Related Documents :

Orbital Mechanics How Things Works

  Orbital Mechanics How Things Works YouTube Video : Deep Science | Documentary Tapes Gravity & Mechanics PAGE 4 OF 4 ON THIS PAGE How Orbits Work The Key to Space Flight Orbiting a Real Planet A Periapsis by Any Other Name Freefall How Orbits Work These drawings simplify the physics of orbital mechanics, making it easy to grasp some of the basic concepts. We see Earth with a ridiculously tall mountain rising from it. The mountain, as Isaac Newton first described, has a cannon at its summit. Of course, in order to make their point, the cartoons on this page ignore lots of facts, such as the impossibility of there being such a high mountain on Earth, the drag exerted by the Earth's atmosphere on the cannonball, and the energy a cannon can impart to a projectile ... not to mention how hard it would be for climbers to carry everything up such a high mountain! Nevertheless, the orbital mechanics they illustrate (in the absence of details like atmosphere) are valid. Newton's tho

The Asteroid that Hit the Earth 66 Million Years Ago | Deep Science Documentary Tapes

  The Impact That Wiped Out the Dinosaurs                                                   The Asteroid that hit the Earth 66 million years ago What Happened in Brief According to abundant geological evidence, an asteroid roughly 10 km (6 miles) across hit Earth about 65 million years ago. This impact made a huge explosion and a crater about 180 km (roughly 110 miles) across. Debris from the explosion was thrown into the atmosphere, severely altering the climate, and leading to the extinction of roughly 3/4 of species that existed at that time, including the dinosaurs. Many asteroids of this type are now known; their orbits pass through the inner solar system and cross Earth's orbit. Some of these could potentially hit Earth in the future. Most, but not all are smaller than the one that hit us 65 million years ago. Gaps in the Fossil Record Fossils found in soil layers of different ages show a record of slow, gradual changes in species, with simple organisms gradually being replac

Hubble Captures Giant Star on the Edge of Destruction In celebration of the 31st anniversary of the launching of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers aimed the renowned observatory at a brilliant "celebrity star," one of the brightest stars seen in our galaxy, surrounded by a glowing halo of gas and dust. The price for the monster star's opulence is "living on the edge." The star, called AG Carinae, is waging a tug-of-war between gravity and radiation to avoid self-destruction. In celebration of the 31st anniversary of the launching of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers aimed the renowned observatory at a brilliant "celebrity star," one of the brightest stars seen in our galaxy, surrounded by a glowing halo of gas and dust. Credits: NASA, ESA, STScI The expanding shell of gas and dust that surrounds the star is about five light-years wide, which equals the distance from here to the nearest star beyond the Sun, Proxima Centauri.
