The Incredible Journey of Apollo 12

It's the ultimate buddy movie, with two astronauts hitting the road and landing on the moon. Earth. November 14, 1969. Three astronauts, with spacesuits, food, water, and a battery of scientific and communications equipment, prepared to fly to the moon. Thousands gathered at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, including President and Mrs. Richard Nixon, to witness the historic launch. It was raining that day, but that was no cause for delay. The ship that would carry them into space was designed to launch in any weather.
But how would it respond to a powerful electrical storm now gathering above the launch pad? That was just the beginning of the incredible journey of Apollo 12.
With three astronauts fastened into their seats, the countdown proceeded. Astronaut and Mission Commander Pete Conrad would say later: "The flight was extremely normal, for the first 36 seconds." The five engines of the Saturn 5's huge first stage were designed to burn through 5 million pounds of liquid oxygen in just two and a half minutes, and to send the spacecraft up 67 kilometers above the Atlantic Ocean.
When it reached an altitude of 2000 meters, something unexpected happened. Racing through the stormy environment, the rocket generated a lightning bolt that traveled down its highly conductive exhaust trail.
Another bolt hit 16 seconds later. All of the spacecraft's circuit breakers shut off. The tracking system was lost. A young flight controller in Houston, Texas instructed astronaut Alan Bean on how to turn on an auxiliary power system. The mission was back on track. Once in Earth orbit, all systems appeared to check out, and flight control officials gave the crew the green light to leave Earth.
The astronauts were not told of concern that the lighting strikes had damaged the pyrotechnic system used to deploy the parachutes that would ease them back through the Earth's atmosphere. If that system failed, the astronauts would not return alive.
This mission would have its share of perils, not unlike those faced by a long line of past explorers, whose courage and restless spirit propelled them into the unknown. This one, however, was backed by years of technology development, test flights, astronaut training, and the largest support team back home that any mission ever had.
But hundreds of thousands of kilometers out in space the three astronauts were pretty much on their own. What made Apollo 12 unique was the friendship and chemistry of its crew. Conrad, Bean, and Richard Gordon were all Navy men. Working and training together on the Gemini program, they had gained each other's respect and trust.
Now, hurtling across more than 400,000 kilometers to the moon, they prepared to fullfill the mission's goals. One was to set up a scientific station designed to record seismic, atmospheric, and solar data.
Another was to visit an unmanned lunar probe called Surveyor III that had landed there two and a half years before. The idea was to bring back a part to study the effect of the lunar environment.
A third goal was to improve on the landing of Apollo 11 just 5 months before. Dropping down over a region called the Sea of Tranquility, pilot Neil Armstrong found himself heading straight for a crater full of boulders. He had to fly over the planned landing site and find a new one. Now kilometers beyond the target, the lander, called Eagle, was literally running out of gas.
With less than 30 seconds of fuel left, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin finally touched down on a landscape obscured by dust stirred up by the vehicle's thrusters. Future astronauts would have to be able to make precision landings at locations dictated by science. That meant they would have to touch down on landscapes filled with all kinds of rocks and craters.
For Apollo 12, the science pointed to a region known as the Ocean of Storms, some 2000 kilometers from where the Eagle had landed. Here, the landscape is dark from lava that cooled to form its flat expanse billions of years ago.

Add in soft costs and international support, and you're talking about the equivalent of about 2% more of the entire federal budget. That's about 6.5% of the entire federal budget given to NASA, a vast majority of which went straight into Apollo. After Apollo ended, they stripped NASA's budget down to about 0.5% of the federal budget, which was less than a tenth of what they had been getting during the height of Apollo spending. And, congress' appropriations committee took that 0.5%, and spread it out among hundreds of programs over the years, never again assigning such a large amount of money to a single NASA program ever again. You are BACKWARD!!! Completely BACKWARD!!!!! The funding was nearly unlimited in 1965, not in 2021. Good grief. YOU SAID: "Your beyond help." == My beyond help? What does that mean? Was that your illiterate attempt at saying "you're"? YOU SAID: "The brainwashing and conditioning is beyond logic and reason." == Let's see here... it's been about 50 years since Apollo. During Apollo, the Soviets confirmed that the USA landed on the moon because they were tracking the missions with radio telescopes and radar. Lots of countries did. Madagascar. Australia. Spain. Britain. Wales. Turks and Caicos. Ascension Island. Canary Islands. Guam. USA mainland. Hawaii. The list goes on. All of those countries, and more, tracked Apollo missions. Since then, Japan sent JAXA/Selene to orbit the moon (2008), and it confirmed Apollo. China sent their orbiters to the moon, and says they confirmed Apollo also. Arizona State University sent LRO in 2009, and it's been sending photographs back from the moon that show the Apollo hardware on the moon, foot paths, rover tracks, etc. Since July 20, 1969, and literally every single day since then, laser ranging facilities around the world have bounced lasers off of the reflectors left on the moon during Apollo. For about 5 years after Apollo, every single day, the nuclear powered Apollo equipment packages were sending back experiment data for the lunar surface temperature readings, seismometers, heat flow experiments, etc. Literally every single one of the world's 72 space agencies, including enemy countries, have acknowledged Apollo, without a single one of them, not one, not ever, denying Apollo happened.

[@marshallcello1128]

Bean's answer is unsurprising, given the massive amount of stuff he and the other astronauts had to learn and be aware of during the missions. Recall that James Van Allen, for whom the belts are named, was a _consultant_ for the Apollo project. The Apollo craft were able to quickly pass through the belts (like twenty minutes) in relative safety, and did so having drawn on the expertise and input of Mr Van Allen himself. The challenge (solved in 2014) for the Orion spacecraft was how to protect its sensitive electronics and crew from the belts in a much different situation than what Apollo confronted: rather than pass through the weakest parts quickly, Orion will be hanging out for longer periods in stronger areas of the belts.

@MrTheredpill05 - You said "NASA says the Magnetosphere, deep space and the Moon are bathed in poisonous levels of ionising radiation." Radiation exposure is accumulative (surely you know that?). So why pretend that the duration of exposure to such radiation doesn't matter? Why ignore it other than to distort the facts? And spacecraft have to survive events that can cause a massive spike in the radiation levels, such as a huge solar storm that could ruin a satellite if the electronics are not designed to cope with such a storm. Therefore your point is null and void, since it is exceptional rare that the electronics would have to cope with 100,000 rads, BUT they need to be able to cope in case an event like a massive solar storm occurs that could destroy it.

[@yazzamx6380]

@MrTheredpill05 - In other words, you have no evidence to support your implied claim that radiation on the moon would have any noticeable effect upon the Apollo astronauts for the time they had spent on the moon. What you believe a nation would or wouldn't be willing to do in terms of risk is irrelevant, since this is about evidence, not unfounded opinion. And you have pretended, since you were suggesting that the maximum radiation satellites are designed to withstand is a measure of the radiation levels in space for manned missions, ignoring the fact that at 22,300 miles 'up' all geostationary satellites are operating inside the Van Allen belts and hence are subject to higher radiation on a daily basis, AND they must cope with rare solar storms which can cause those radiation levels to rise SIGNIFICANTLY over a short period of time. Hence completely irrelevant to any discussion about manned missions in space like Apollo. Present evidence from those who have *actually* worked on spacecraft sent into space who *explicitly* say the radiation for a mission to the moon and back would be fatal to astronauts.

@MrTheredpill05 - As Dr Van Allen said, Van Allen radiation is strongest at around 1000 miles up and would present a fatal dose of radiation to an astronaut inside a Space Shuttle at that distance after *ONE WEEK INSIDE* the belts. So a few hours inside the Van Allen belts is not a health problem to people. So again, instead of giving me your *uneducated spin on radiation that you clearly don't understand,* give me evidence from those who have actually worked on spacecraft sent into space who *explicitly say* the radiation for a mission to the moon and back would be fatal to astronauts. Again, you have the entire world and 50+ years to choose from, so why is that so difficult for you if your claims were true?

As a boy growing up with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, I was fascinated. I began a scrape book on everything related to NASA and space program, starting in 64, age 8. Later I had models of all manned space craft, with the LEM being my favorite. Myself and two friends all had varying telescopes, but Chuck had a fantastic10 inch scope. I learned so much about astronomy with my friends, school science became boring and redundant. In July, 69 the excitement and anticipation became almost unbearable, I was 13. Watching man journey into space and land on the moon was almost beyond description. I'm 63 now, thought mankind's exploration into space would be ''light year's'' ahead of where we are now in 2019. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe my feelings about current NASA and the''non believer's'' of man's landing on the moon, flat earth and other lame B.S. theories.

I wish for mankind's hatred and Waring ways to be replaced , by the worldwide pride, sense of brotherhood and shared achievement, as man walked on another celestial body.

Lifeon Enceladus yes i totally agree that it's a beautiful rocket that was created by humanity but the Saturn V is not the most powerful rocket ever created of human space rockets. N1 is the strongest rocket that was created with 30 engines on the first stage only but it failed sending cosmonauts on the moon.While lift off (test of the rocket) everything was fine but 20 seconds later all the 29 engines had shut off with only 1 engine on making the rocket to explode. After 4 failures of N1 tests they had shut down the N1 program. Sadly there are no remains of these amazing 4 rockets to remember. I am very proud that it did not happened to the Apollo 11-17 but the disaster of Apollo 13 was horrible for these 3 astronauts. They were chosen to go to the moon, when the command module had a small explosion when it was on the dark side of the moon, it lost a lot of fuel and they had to come back to earth because if they would have landed on the moon, then the 2 crew men on the moon would have stuck on the moon surface and the other one man would have orbited the moon and then he will be out of fuel.

One side is cold, the other really hot due to solar radiation (like feeling the sunlight on your skin). ... In space it's a matter of insulation. Just as your blanket keeps your body heat in so you stay warm in bed, NASA space suits have insulation systems as well as heaters.

[@yazzamx6380]

@MrTheredpill05 - Stop lying please. Obama's plan was for missions in lunar orbit and to a near Earth asteroid in preparation for a future mission to Mars. Key to this was the development of the SLS rocket, which was originally due for completion and hence it's debut launch in 2017. The SLS has suffered delays, but is now effectively complete and ready for its debut launch this year, THREE YEARS LATE. Common sense would tell you that delays in the SLS required for missions to the moon would result in delays to those missions. So years ago those plans were revised for the first manned mission to the moon (lunar orbit) in 2024, with a possible manned landing in 2028. The current administration wants to pull that 2028 target forward to 2024, hence remove the delay, which is a riskier option. Why can't you take the time to get the facts right? Why do so many conspiracy believers complain about governments and authorities lying and yet you think it's justified for you to lie?

@MrTheredpill05 - Obama won the election in November 2008, where his inauguration was in January 2009. So, can you work it out yet? :-)

[@yazzamx6380]

​@MrTheredpill05 - Ignoring history doesn't make your case my friend. In 2004-2005 George Bush announced the cancellation of the Space Shuttle and a new "Constellation program" to take astronauts to the moon and Mars, requiring the development of rockets and space capsules. The Space Shuttle was scheduled to retire in 2010, and a new rocket from the Constellation program was suppose to be ready for test launches in 2008 and in place to take astronauts to the ISS when the Shuttle retired. *That* was the plan and it was widely accepted, including by Obama. But when Obama came into power, the dismantlement of the Shuttle program was on track, but the rocket to replace it was no where near completion, meaning the USA will need to rely upon Russia to get astronauts to the ISS. The Augustine Committee in 2009 found that the Constellation program was over budget and well behind schedule, where it could not continue without a MASSIVE increase in funding! And that was at a time of the financial crisis that hit the world! So it required a change of plan (well duh!). Hence Obama cancelled the Constellation program, kept the good 'stuff' (such as the Orion space capsule), gave the Shuttle an extra year, and announced a new financially viable program to the moon and Mars, where NASA will focus on deep space missions with a new SLS rocket (due to launch this year), and low Earth orbit would be handed over to PRIVATE companies who through innovation could do it better and cheaper, hence the acceleration in companies like Space X and Blue Origin to develop their rockets and space capsules for the contracts being offered to them by NASA. On what basis do you think the information above should be ignored when looking at what happened and why?

[@yazzamx6380]

I don't share your hatred of the USA (and no, I'm not American in case you're wondering :-)). The USA has it's good and it's bad, like ALL nations/countries, where the more powerful a nation/country is, then the greater the good it can do and the greater the bad it can do. So the USA is not unique in that respect. And I always feel we should be careful what we wish for. The downfall of a nation/country is rarely an isolated event, it usually has a knock on effect which is often unpredictable. Hence the crash that you wished for could have had a disastrous effect upon your life if it happened, regardless of your location in the world, all due to a chaotic domino/ripple effect. We can never know of course, but I do warn against being so willing to wish pain upon others, whatever form that 'pain' is and whoever those 'others' may be :-|
