would show up as noise or show up as an excess signal. Apollo 16 brought a little telescope to the surface of the moon and observed ultraviolet light from there.
I mean, there's songs on there I think that can really-- this album is really meant for people that-- because when we first started working on this record, Apollo is a legendary stage.
And now, what would you do if there is an accident? Apollo capsules mostly fall into the sea.If you watch the movie 'Apollo 11',
But all those things are good. Apollo teams would cover about as much ground scientifically in a three-day expedition as a Rover mission can in five years.
She was a beautiful mortal, and she refused to sleep with Apollo . Apollo 's curse to her was that every time she foretold disaster-- in fact, he allowed her to foretell disasters-- she would be ignored.Cassandra then, being from Troy, saw the sack of her city, saw her brothers killed, saw her family destroyed, her home destroyed, her entire city burned to the ground.
But that space was, on average, no more than 150 miles off the ground, a little more than the distance between Washington and Philadelphia. Apollo 8 would break that gravitational strangle hold at last.The astronauts would tear themselves away from the Earth, sail into the deep waters of deep space, journey nearly a quarter of a million miles,
and then enter the gravity field of an entirely different body. Apollo 8 would not land on the moon.That would be for a later mission when the lunar module was at last ready, but it hardly mattered.
they would end their broadcast with biblical versus, the versus of Genesis that spoke of birth. Apollo 8 could never fully balance the mortal ledger of 1968.The lives that were lost that year were lost all the same.
and then taunt it back from the opposite shore. Apollo 8 was just that kind of act of defiance and joy and courage, too.In a very dark time, it brought us all a tiny bit further into the light.
stop thinking about it so fast forward again a couple months oh this is the Apollo 8 earthrise photo which is the first uh overview taken by Bill Anders uh on December 24th1968 he said we went to the moon and we discovered Earth uh fast forward a couple months
I had to slip that in in case you forgot I was Catholic. Apollo moon shot, scalable renewables.
So it's really like a jumping off point for to do further research if you see something that's wrong. Apollo Group, $10 grand into $78,000.
And then once the battery is cooked the thing is dead. Apollo 13, we all know about the mishap there, and then the space shuttle also had a few accidents that we all remember.So what can one actually do about it?
and for spacecraft. And so I'm going to talk about a project that we worked on a couple of years ago that actually used data from the "Apollo " command modules. So as you know, every time we send people to the moon, we send three people. Two guys went down, one guy stayed up in that thing.
through electronic simulation and prefabricated designs. Apollo 's elite alumni do visit the Smithsonian but they don't go to the vast cathedral of the Air and Space Museum on the Mall instead they go to a small storage complex, in I kid
The, once we get up there one of the first things we do is we open up the payload bay doors. We do that because the radiators are on the inside portion of the payload bay doors; Apollo there was a big drop in the number of folks needed on the operation side. And then when the Shuttle came back when we brought the Shuttle to life, those people were picked
uh man on the moon was turned into the miniseries starring Tom Hanks and of course Tom Hanks sat next to Kevin on Apollo 13 um he's uh uh written a long list ofbooks uh and one of my favorite comments was by uh Jean cernon who who after
were never available before and put them in the book and then uh Mission Control this is Apollo which is a children's book and with uh some photos but mostlywith uh paintings by astronaut Alan Bean so now let's welcome
Nixon wasn't buying and in fact um Nixon cut the space budget so drastically compared to what it had been during Apollo um that when his space budget was released in the spring of 1970 a fewweeks before the takeoff of Apollo 13 there was a congressman who was a big supporter of the Space Program named
resources and Innovation resources we have at our disposal now um why let me tell you why they did the Apollo space program it was because the Russians got to space and they thought that the Communists were going to put nuclear missiles on on the moon andbasically uh destroy our freedom the Manhattan Project in World War II was uh was started based on intelligence from
And Apollo bought both Riverton's hospital and the one 30 miles away, and just started cutting more and more and more services.
But Apollo had 2.6, so I feel like I was justified in not adding in an additional delay
So "Apollo 13" is one that I really appreciated.
And with that, everything changed. If Apollo 8 could make it to the moon by Christmas week 1968, it was going to be much more than just a political or technical achievement.
There were a couple of ways to achieve that goal. The Apollo 8 astronauts could fly either a circumlunar mission, whipping around the back of the moon and coming straight home, or they could fly a longer orbital orbital mission, circling the moon a full 10 times.
so lethally clear. But there were other things arguing for a more ambitious mission. Future Apollo crews would have to orbit the moon anyway before landing. And if you couldn't trust your main engine to do the job it was supposed to do, then you never should have built it in the first place.
Is there some type of pull that they have in particular? And Apollo 8, Frank Borman was the commander, so it's commander centric.
Mantra Apollo showed what we were doing right now and start Trek is where we're going to go and there was a disconnect
From Apollo to the shuttle, they hadn't upgraded yet.
So Apollo 11 I think is one of the more interesting ones.
true Apollo just happened to swing both ways you may recall he once took a fancy to a girl named Cassandra he showered
life um talking to the Apollo Astronauts about what it was like to go to the moon and and turning that into a narrative of the Apollo missions um called a man on the moon um but uh about five years ago I started uh writing a book about Mars exploration which rapidly uh drew me
It's essentially an Apollo project today to create a new browser, which is why it doesn't happen very often, which is why even companies like Microsoft
Because we went-- the Apollo missions in 1968 to '72 were the last time that human eyes were far enough away to see the whole planet.
And also "Apollo ," which we will talk about in a second.
And how was "Apollo " different from "LTG"?
And that's why "Apollo " was very important for me and for Afrobeats culture.
So the Apollo program, which I'm sure we'll talk about in a minute, was pretty top-down by Kennedy and the gang.
This is for the Apollo program.
I need my Apollo .
I mean, there's songs on there I think that can really-- this album is really meant for people that-- because when we first started working on this record, We did Apollo , right?
for NASA's Apollo missions.
And so even when Apollo 11 landed and Neil Armstrong came out, the very first thing he did after he went down
So unlike the Apollo Program, where we were really clueless about the moon, we were all over the place, but only on the near side.
Bernie Mac did Apollo years ago, all right?
Bernie Mac did Apollo .
this was still before Apollo 9 and Apollo 10 had completed their mission.
So places like the Apollo , places like the Studio Museum become very important to the city because the anchor a certain continuity.
It's like doing Apollo with no astronauts.
Jeffrey Kluger is the author of several books. In addition to "Apollo 8," which he is here to talk about, he also authored "Apollo 13." This was awhile ago. It was published as "Lost Moon." And he's also published books on a rather different subject called the sibling effect.
