Evan Burton Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I am somewhat an expert in the history of the US manned space programme, with particular emphasis on the Apollo programme. I have some knowledge of the Soviet manned space programme though do not claim to be an expert in the field. I welcome questions. Thanks!

Evan Burton Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Fascinating article about some of the items that Neil Armstrong kept after the Apollo 11 mission. Most every astronaut kept souvenirs of some type or another, normally equipment that was no longer required (though there have been legal battles regarding the ownership status of such items). http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11ReturnedEagleArtifacts.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 This lady is attempting to recreate - in exact detail - the DSKY (display / keyboard) used on Apollo missions. This video log is long (about 50 mins) and very detailed but if you are a student of Apollo, it is well worth the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjcfepTdvZI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Coming to the 45th anniversary of Apollo 13, it is worth bringing this one up: http://www.universetoday.com/62339/13-things-that-saved-apollo-13/ And now there is an updated addition: http://www.universetoday.com/119747/13-more-things-that-saved-apollo-13/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
