Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made use of their lunar module Eagle to launch off from the lunar surface and they released many items, such as their flag tube, TV camera and tools for collecting samples from moon rocks and dust. These objects were intended to crash onto the lunar surface and be left there,…
NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft were first launched separately weeks apart in 1977, never imagined they would remain flying and continue collecting valuable data even with some instruments turned off to conserve power. Yet these “elder citizens” continue collecting invaluable information even today! They embarked on an epic tour of the outer planets, discovering…
Once Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took off from the Moon aboard an ascent stage of LM, they met with Michael Collins in the command module – although NASA engineers assumed Eagle would crash onto its lunar surface, gravitational analysis suggests otherwise – possibly creating an historical artifact! The Eagle’s Orbit Neil Armstrong made history…
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history in 1969 with their lunar landing of their LM-5 spacecraft on the moon, taking pictures, depositing rock samples on lunar surfaces, and installing scientific experiments which still send back data today. An independent researcher recently realized that it is possible that the Lunar Module’s ascent stage may not…
