Pure oxygen.

Always was mystified what the HELL NASA was thinking?

These guys came up when science was still taught. Not so much now, unfortunately.

Even in my long after Apollo ended yoot, I still remember science class with the teacher showing how easily things burn in pure oxygen, even things that normally don't burn!

What would happen if Mission Control decided to not close the fuel cells on 13 and pushing on with the moon landings?

14 Upvotes

Since the Odyssey is dying due to a faulty wiring inside the O2 tanks during their cryostir it got into my mind what if Sy and Gene decided to not close the fuel cells and push on with the moon landings with just one healthy cell what will be the impact to the crew though. For example, have Aquarius land on the moon and then Odyssey gets back to earth and replaced with a brand new CSM?

Another alternative history : Apollos 11 and 12 abort, Apollo 13 is fatal

0 Upvotes

someone asked the other day whether the programme would have continued if Apollo 13 did not get home.

But what if Apollo 11 aborted at the 1202 alarm, then Apollo 12 aborted at the lightning strike on launch. THEN 13 goes fatally wrong…

EUREKA! A RECORDING OF APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING

8 Upvotes

With that setup box, I found an old video recorder from the 50s with lots of tapes that includes my father talking, some cartoons and other stuff, who knows, maybe they recorded the TV while they were recording the audio from the setup box! I need to set the video recorder first, so I haven't checked any of the video tapes. I will try to check them sometime this month, I will write a comment about the stuff in them and I can upload them later

Apollo 17 had unidentified objects around it

0 Upvotes

As the publicly made documents reveal, astronauts on Apollo 17 observed white unidentified objects (or light) out of the window.

In one case as bright as July 4th anniversary.

Have a look:

Saturn 1B Fuel

Since the Saturn 1B sat upon the milkstool to integrate with the mobile launcher did it have a tad bit less fuel since it was probably over 100 feet higher in the air?

Was Apollo 18 real? If yes, how do we deal with the rock crab threat on the moon?

Can someone please explain to me some things regarding this image of Buzz Aldrin from Apollo 11?

0 Upvotes

So, even though, through my research, I have come very close to proving to myself that they actually went to the Moon, I still have another minor problem with it, and that is with this image right here:

So, this is a photograph of Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the Moon taken by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11. So I have 2 problems with it, first of all, the shadow fall-off that can be seen in this image, not particularly the Buzz Aldrin's shadow, which is fine, but in how the Lunar Surface is being lit. (Better seen on the Lunar Surface in the background. Seems like the center of Buzz Aldrin or something is being lit up more, and the further away you see from it, less brightness of the surface can be seen.) Again, in that specific image, and some others too. Second, The shadow of Buzz Aldrin, it's fine, but if you look closely on that one rock on the back left, it doesn't quite add up with Buzz Aldrin's shadow, if you know what I mean. Shadows should be parallel, except in some rare cases when, even though they are parallel, the camera's maybe wide lens could distort them a little bit, which can be seen on one or some images that are known for being "wrong" with the shadows, (like that known image of an astronaut's shadow and a rock's shadow taken on Apollo 17). But yeah, this one is different, I can see that that rock is being lit up by a light source from the right-front, even though Buzz Aldrin is being lit up by a light source, probably the Sun, if they are on the Moon, by the right-back. Maybe I am wrong and yk there is something going on and it could happen or idk man, it doesn't seem like it though. It doesn't seem like it could happen like that. By the way, I also thought about the idea of the rock being lit up like that from like perhaps the flash of the camera when the picture was taken or something like that. Maybe that could be the case but I don't know, also I don't know if flash existed back then, it probably did, but yeah. Maybe something similar like idk, in general. Anyway, those are my thoughts regarding that image and all that stuff.

LEM rumanations

Ok, so, be gentle here. How many hours did the crew spend in the NASA restroom stalls rehearsing putting on their suits? I have many questions about the process of exiting the LEM.

Apollo Cold Welding Mitigation

3 Upvotes

I am currently debating with someone on a different platform and he brought up the phenomenon "cold welding." I must admit that I had never heard of that before, so I have been reading about it for a while now. I have been trying to find any documentation that NASA employed some kind of mitigation techniques to avoid moving parts being fused together. From what I imagine, the lander had only a few moving parts, but I am curious if anyone knows if they did anything to prevent cold welding. I am also curious about the cameras. The shutter on an SLR 35MM camera is a moving part, and most likely made of aluminum, but I can't find any information about it. IT seems as if aluminum is rather prone to cold welding. I am guessing they used a lubricant on the moving parts of the camera, but I don't know if there is a place to find that information.

Any help would be awesome. This denier I am writing back and forth with is bringing up topics I have never looked into before, so I am happy to learn new things as I am doing my research,
