[snip] I just had to pull my video that I made last night about the leaks being solved. No more hydrogen leaks with Artemis and the launch being no earlier than March 6th. I literally just woke up and the information is now completely changed and it's not good. Jared Isaacman shared on X that after overnight data showed an interruption in helium flow in the SLS interim cryogenic propulsion stage, teams are troubleshooting and preparing for a likely roll back of Artemis 2 to the vehicle assembly building at NASA Kennedy. This will almost assuredly impact the March launch...

Tapes containing the original, high-quality transmission of the Apollo 11 moon landing were wiped after being quietly shelved in an unmarked storage area by NASA. While other recordings of the historic 1969 mission survived, the revelation that at least some moon landing video disappeared has fueled wild conspiracies that NASA has been covering up what astronauts saw or even that the whole mission was faked. Now, the truth about these 'erased' tapes has been revealed by Tim Dodd, better known as the 'Everyday Astronaut' on YouTube, who said the lost footage was only a set of backup magnetic tapes containing...

The sudden delay of NASA's first moon mission in five decades has set off a wave of conspiracy theories, including one about astronauts discovering life on the lunar surface in 1969. AJ Gentile, host of the podcast 'The Why Files,' said that a long-lost radio transmission from the Apollo 11 moon landing allegedly mentioned the discovery of alien beings watching the astronauts arrive.Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reportedly switched to a private medical channel during a radio blackout while approaching the moon.In this brief window, which NASA records exist, Armstrong and Aldrin allegedly told mission control back on Earth...

Buzz Aldrin has been "abandoned" and "dying" in his bed all alone. The 95-year-old astronaut's longtime friend Steve Barber has spoken out exclusively to RadarOnline.com after seeing the "horrific" state of Aldrin's living conditions during a recent visit. In a photo exclusively provided to Radar, the ailing space hero could be seen staring blankly inside of his dingy Los Angeles apartment, as he received oxygen support through his nose. Aldrin, wearing a NASA T-shirt, appeared in a daze while bedridden and leaning over on a small pillow. There was a table beside the elderly star, allowing him to reach over...

NATIONAL MOON DAY National Moon Day on July 20 commemorates the day man first walked on the moon in 1969. NASA reported the moon landing as being “...the single greatest technological achievement of all time.”#NationalMoonDay On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 carried the first humans to the moon. Six hours after landing on the moon, American Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface. He spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft. Buzz Aldrin soon followed, stepping onto the lunar surface. After joining Armstrong, the two men collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material. Their specimens would make the journey...

The second man to walk on the moon has come forward with his pick for the 2024 presidential election. Buzz Aldrin, 94, who walked on the lunar surface with Neil Armstrong in 1969, endorsed Donald Trump Wednesday, citing how America needs a 'a proven, serious, and tested leader.' The legendary astronaut wrote in an address that Trump's previous term reignited America's interest in space, pushing for NASA to return the moon and venture to Mars.

On July 24, 1969, Apollo 11 was 47,000 miles from Earth and rapidly accelerating toward its home planet when astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins awoke for their last day in space, preparing for their splashdown in the Pacific Ocean 950 miles southwest of Hawaii. The previous day, managers were forced to move the splashdown point by 250 miles to the northeast due to inclement weather at the original recovery site. The aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CVS-12), the prime recovery ship for Apollo 11, was speeding for the new splashdown target area. Overcast skies made...

Look up and celebrate both the wonders of the moon and humanity's achievements in space exploration.When you look up this weekend you will see not only a striking full moon but also a piece of history. In a rare celestial coincidence, July's full moon will share the spotlight with the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, providing a unique opportunity to reflect on humanity's achievements in space exploration and our enduring fascination with our closest neighbor. The July full moon officially occurs on July 21 at 6:17 a.m. EDT (1017 GMT), but the moon will still appear full...

[dayglored comment] Those of us who have been forced to wait forever as Windows copies some huge file... well here's a way to make the wait more tolerable. Copying a large file from one drive to another, or over a network, can take quite a while, and there’s nothing you can do in that time, but wait. However, an enterprising developer has found a way to make the copy dialog more interesting -- he’s added a fully playable version of the arcade classic Lunar Lander to it. And this is no basic addition -- you can choose your difficulty level...

Explanation: Here is one of the most famous pictures from the Moon -- but digitally reversed. Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969 and soon thereafter many pictures were taken, including an iconic picture of Buzz Aldrin taken by Neil Armstrong. The original image captured not only the magnificent desolation of an unfamiliar world, but Armstrong himself reflected in Aldrin's curved visor. Enter modern digital technology. In the featured image, the spherical distortion from Aldrin's helmet has been reversed. The result is the famous picture -- but now featuring Armstrong himself from Aldrin's perspective. Even so, since Armstrong took...

July 1969. It's a little over eight years since the flights of Gagarin and Shepard, followed quickly by President Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade is out.It is only seven months since NASA's made a bold decision to send Apollo 8 all the way to the moon on the first manned flight of the massive Saturn V rocket.Now, on the morning of July 16, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins sit atop another Saturn V at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.

Astronaut Michael Collins, one of the three members of the successful Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969, died Wednesday after battling cancer, his family said in a statement posted to Twitter. He was 90.

"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," stated Astronaut Neil Armstrong, JULY 20, 1969, as he became the f irst man to walk on the moon, almost 238,900 miles away from the Earth. The second man on the moon was Colonel Buzz Aldrin, who described it as "magnificent desolation." Aldrin earned a Ph.D. from M.I.T. and helped develop the technology necessary for the mission, especially the complicated lunar module rendezvous with the command module. Buzz Aldrin's popularity was the inspiration for the character "Buzz Lightyear" in Pixar's animated movie Toy Story (1995). Buzz Aldrin shared a...

President Richard Nixon had a speech prepared in case the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing ended in tragedy. Thankfully, it was never broadcast. But now, thanks to a very convincing deepfake video lasting some seven minutes, we can see what might have been. MIT’s Center for Advanced Virtuality launched their project, titled In the Event of Moon Disaster, on Monday to show the dangers of deepfake videos currently spreading all over the Internet. The project took about half a year to complete. It was previously shown at a physical art installation in the fall of 2019, as part of a...

President Trump met with Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, and the family of Neil Armstrong to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. First lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine also joined the president in the Oval Office to honor the Apollo 11 legacy and discuss future NASA missions, which include working with private space companies, returning to the moon and eventually landing humans on Mars.[Video at link]

Christopher Columbus Kraft Jr.(Voice of Apollo) has just passed. Confidence is high on this. Should be breaking soon.

Our nation yesterday rightly treated itself to a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing. Vice President Pence summed it up this way: "This may be the only event of the 20th century that will be remembered in the 30th. But it wasn’t celebrated by everybody. Even for an event like this, there are conspiracy theorists. They claim that the Apollo program never happened, that it was all faked by the United States government, as in the movie Capricorn-1. Examples: Some conspiracy theorists talk about the fluttering in the flag planted by Buzz Aldrin. (Explanation: it was vibrations in the wires...
