    algoritm:”A fost aselenizarea falsă? Această teorie conspiraționistă continuă să atragă atenția, mai ales pe TikTok, unde circulă povești că totul ar fi fost filmat într-un studio la Hollywood. Conspiraționiștii spun că programul Apollo și NASA ar fi pus în scenă o minciună politică în timpul Războiului Rece, doar pentru a învinge Uniunea Sovietică după triumfurile Sputnik și Gagarin. Întrebările lor ating teme precum lipsa stelelor din fotografii, fluturarea steagului american și radiațiile din centurile Van Allen.

    Pentru a înțelege adevărul, trebuie privită istoria programului spațial. După discursul lui John F. Kennedy, „We choose to go to the moon”, SUA au lansat racheta Saturn V și au construit modulul lunar. Au urmat teste, sacrificii precum Apollo 1 și progrese remarcabile. Misiunea Apollo 11, în iulie 1969, i-a dus pe Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin și Michael Collins pe Lună. Modulul Eagle a aselenizat, iar cuvintele „The Eagle has landed” au devenit legendare.

    NASA a explicat clar misterele. Stelele nu apar în fotografii pentru că expunerea scurtă a aparatului favoriza suprafața Lunii și costumele albe, nu lumina slabă a stelelor. Steagul american părea să fluture din cauza unei bare metalice orizontale și a vibrațiilor mecanice produse de astronauți, nu a vântului. În privința radiațiilor, centurile Van Allen au fost traversate rapid, pe traiectorii periferice, iar grosimea aluminiului navei a asigurat protecție. Astronauții au primit doze comparabile cu un CT toracic, mult sub pragul de risc.

    De ce nu s-a mai revenit pe Lună? Costurile uriașe și lipsa motivației politice după câștigarea cursei spațiale au dus la anularea misiunilor Apollo ulterioare. Totuși, interesul renaște odată cu programul Artemis, care pregătește o întoarcere pe Lună și chiar drumul spre Marte.

    Astfel, dovezile arată că aselenizarea nu a fost falsă, ci o reușită istorică a astronauților și a întregului program spațial Apollo.”

  • NASA Remembers Apollo Astronaut Jim Lovell

    NASA Remembers Apollo Astronaut Jim Lovell

    We are saddened by the passing of Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell at the age of 97.

    Jim Lovell was a veteran of the Gemini VII and Gemini XII missions before becoming command module pilot and navigator for Apollo 8, the first crewed spacecraft to be lifted into near-Earth orbit by the Saturn V launch vehicle. He became the first man to orbit the Moon on two separate missions when he served as the commander of Apollo 13.

    Unfortunately, the mission to explore the Fra Mauro region of the Moon did not go as planned. What many viewed as a “routine” mission soon had millions around the globe glued to television sets watching and hoping for a positive outcome to one of the most intense episodes in the history of space exploration.

    Apollo to Artemis: NASA Returns to the Moon

    On Saturday, Nov. 26, at 8:42 a.m EST (13:42 UTC) the Orion spacecraft will break the record for farthest distance traveled by a spacecraft designed to carry humans to deep space and safely return them to Earth. This distance is currently held by the Apollo 13 spacecraft. In this video, Apollo astronauts and flight directors give their insights into the Apollo program, the nation’s reaction then, and how the Artemis program will benefit the nation today. As we go back to the Moon, Artemis will prepare us to travel even deeper into space.

    Apollo 15: “Never Been on a Ride like this Before”

    Our first wheels on the Moon. On the Apollo 15 mission, the Lunar Roving Vehicle allowed the astronauts to cover a much greater distance on the Moon than the previous three flights had accomplished. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 15 mission. On July 26, 1971, David R. Scott (Commander), James B. Irwin (Lunar Module Pilot) and Alfred M. Worden (Command Module Pilot) launched from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A.

    Apollo 15 set several new records for crewed spaceflight: heaviest payload in a lunar orbit of approximately 107,000 pounds, maximum radial distance traveled on the lunar surface away from the spacecraft of about 17.5 miles, most lunar surface moonwalks (three) and longest total of duration for lunar surface moonwalk (18 hours, 37 minutes), longest time in lunar orbit (about 145 hours), longest crewed lunar mission (295 hours), longest Apollo mission, the first satellite placed in lunar orbit by a crewed spacecraft, and first deep space and operational spacewalk.

  • NASA Remembers Apollo Astronaut Michael Collins

    NASA Remembers Apollo Astronaut Michael Collins

    We are heartbroken to share that astronaut Michael Collins, the command module pilot of the historic Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, has passed away at the age of 90.

    Collins was one of the third group of astronauts named by NASA in October 1963. In 1966, he served as the pilot on the 3-day Gemini 10 mission, during which he set a world altitude record and became the nation’s third spacewalker, completing two extravehicular activities. His second flight was as command module pilot of the historic Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. He remained in lunar orbit while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the Moon.

  • Apollo 14: ‘A Wild Place Up Here’

    Apollo 14: ‘A Wild Place Up Here’

    Apollo 14 was the eighth crewed Apollo mission and the third to land on the Moon. On January 31, 1971, Apollo 14 launched from Kennedy Space Center with a crew of commander Alan B. Shepard, command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa, and lunar module pilot Edgar D. Mitchell.

    The crew experienced challenges in docking with the lunar module Antares and six attempts were required before a “hard dock” was achieved.

    On February 5, 1971, Antares made the most precise landing to date in the hilly uplands of the Fra Mauro crater.

    Shepard and Mitchell spent a total of 33.5 hours on the Moon and performed two extra-vehicular activities (EVAs, or “moonwalks”), totaling 9 hours and 23 minutes. During the first EVA, they deployed several science experiments. Among these was a reflector that continues to be used to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon. They also deployed a seismometer, which detected thousands of moonquakes and helped to determine the structure of the Moon’s interior. Other instruments measured the composition of the solar wind and the Moon’s tenuous atmosphere and plasma environment. Shepard and Mitchell collected 95 pounds of lunar rock and soil samples.

    The command module Kitty Hawk splashed down safely on February 9, 1971, exactly nine days and two minutes after launch. The mission duration from liftoff to splashdown was 216 hours, two minutes.

    In 1969 when NASA astronauts took one small step on the lunar surface, the feat resulted in a giant leap forward in innovations for humanity. The many challenges NASA overcame on the way to the Moon led the agency and its partners to devise new inventions and techniques that spread into public life, and we are still reaping the benefits of those technology developments today. As with the many spinoffs from the Apollo era, the technologies we’re building for today’s missions to the Moon and on to Mars will transform our lives for generations to come.

  • Introducing NASA Explorers: Apollo, an Audio Series

    Introducing NASA Explorers: Apollo, an Audio Series

    NASA Explorers: Apollo is an audio series that tells stories of the Moon and the people who explore it. During the Apollo program, the Moon became a part of the human domain. Twelve astronauts walked on the lunar surface, conducted research there and collected Moon rocks to bring back to Earth for study. Fifty years after humanity’s first steps on the Moon, today’s lunar scientists are searching for answers to the big questions: How did the Moon form? How did our solar system evolve? Did the Moon help life on Earth get its start?

    Meet a Moon detective, scientists who study space rocks and people from all over the world whose lives were shaped by the epic adventures of the Apollo program. You can listen to NASA Explorers: Apollo on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Google Play and Facebook Watch.

  • Apollo 10: ‘Tell the world, we have arrived’

    Apollo 10: ‘Tell the world, we have arrived’

    Fifty years ago, Apollo 10 launched from Cape Kennedy on May 18, 1969. The Apollo 10 mission encompassed all aspects of an actual crewed lunar landing, except the landing. It was the first flight of a complete, crewed Apollo spacecraft to operate around the Moon. The crew members were Commander Thomas Stafford, Command Module Pilot John Young and Lunar Module Pilot Eugene Cernan. Objectives included a scheduled eight-hour lunar orbit of the separated lunar module, or LM, and descent to about nine miles off the moon’s surface before ascending for rendezvous and docking with the command and service module, or CSM, in about a 70-mile circular lunar orbit. Pertinent data to be gathered in this landing rehearsal dealt with the lunar potential, or gravitational effect, to refine the Earth-based crewed spaceflight network tracking techniques, and to check out LM programmed trajectories and radar, and lunar flight control systems. Twelve television transmissions to Earth were planned. All mission objectives were achieved.

    Apollo 9: ‘A Hell of a Ride’

    50 years ago, we tested the capabilities of our Moon landing spacecraft in Earth’s orbit. Commander James McDivitt, Command Module Pilot David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart performed systems checks and gathered data. The Lunar Module and the Command Module separated by nearly 100 miles and an engine burn check brought them back together. A challenging rendezvous and docking proved the abilities of the hardware. This historic mission launched on March 3, 1969 as an engineering mission and paved the way for future Apollo missions.

  • NASA Reflects on Legacy of Gene Cernan, Last Man to Walk on Moon

    NASA Reflects on Legacy of Gene Cernan, Last Man to Walk on Moon

    Former NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, died Monday, Jan. 16, following ongoing health issues, according to a statement from his family.

    “It is with very deep sadness that we share the loss of our beloved husband and father,” said Cernan’s family. “Our family is heartbroken, of course, and we truly appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers. Gene, as he was known by so many, was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.”
    “Even at the age of 82, Gene was passionate about sharing his desire to see the continued human exploration of space and encouraged our nation’s leaders and young people to not let him remain the last man to walk on the Moon,” the family continued.

    Cernan, a Captain in the U.S. Navy, left his mark on the history of exploration by flying three times in space, twice to the moon. He also holds the distinction of being the second American to walk in space and the last human to leave his footprints on the lunar surface.

    The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the passing of the Gemini and Apollo astronaut:

    “Gene Cernan, Apollo astronaut and the last man to walk on the moon, has passed from our sphere, and we mourn his loss. Leaving the moon in 1972, Cernan said, ‘As I take these last steps from the surface for some time into the future to come, I’d just like to record that America’s challenge of today has forged man’s destiny of tomorrow.’ Truly, America has lost a patriot and pioneer who helped shape our country’s bold ambitions to do things that humankind had never before achieved.”

    According to the family, details regarding services will be announced in the coming days.

    Note: package may include some silent video.
