T - 8 Hours & 8 min till landing. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

In so far as the boosters "O" rings are concerned they were/are made by a US company named "Shambam". The O rings in question failed because the NASA engineers thought they new better than the people who designed the seals and changed the seal GROOVE Detail hence they failed. |

Moon or Mars? 'Next giant leap' sparks debate Buzz Aldrin walks on the moon on July 20, 1969. NASA is preparing to send astronauts back and build a lunar base. NASA is eyeing the moon's heavily cratered south pole as a place to send astronauts for the next lunar mission. |

The O rings in question failed because the NASA engineers thought they new better than the people who designed the seals and changed the seal GROOVE Detail hence they failed. The O-rings that failed were made by Morton Thiokol. This link is a Wiki entry on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster itself. Oh and I didn't see an entry for Shambam anywhere in that wiki entry, a link would be nice though, Here's the Google link I did do though. |

I stand corrected no problem, I'm a slow poster sometimes. |

T - 53 min till landing. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

I think some have forgotten or think the wrong idea about Stars at night on Earth and think It will be the same everywhere the sky is black, It won't be depending on the side of the planetary body one is on. On the Moon You can see stars at night in the Moons own Shadow just like on Earth at night as the Earth has a Shadow. On the Moon You can not see the stars on the Dayside where the Astronauts landed, Some assume, Its a black sky on the Moon and so they ask where are the stars? As they forget about the Suns Intense Glare(No Atmosphere worth mentioning, If any, take the Helmet off there and one Dies). Day Sky color ---------------------- Moon = Black Earth = Blue Night Sky color(Planetary Shadow) ---------------------- Moon = Black Earth = Black |

The Houston Chronicle has from what little I've read, A story entitled: 40 years after Apollo 11
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/space/6537251.html One thing I heard on CNN and I saw on TV back then is sure the flag was put on the Moon, But with extreme effort as the pole was not going into the ground easily as the gravity there is only 1/6th what It is here on Earth, So not much force could be put into planting the Flag into the ground there, It would have been better to drill a proper hole and then plant the flag as everytime the Astronauts tried to shove the pole into the ground, The pole made the flag vibrate as If It were on earth in a breeze, Heck the Astronauts had problems just walking there and not falling over as the suits are pressurized and so their a bit stiff, Vacuum is not healthy to breathe of course. |

One major point all the people that are stupid enough to believe the Moon landings was faked is they are looking at camera technology and computer graphics from the expertise of the 1990s through to 2009. Way back in the late 1960s and 1970s things were primitive, and doing the real thing was the only option. Clearly the conspitatorises have seen Capricorn one too many times. I apologise for my strong wording at the beginning. Go away, I was asleep |

Not a problem here, Some People simply assume that what they see here should be the same everywhere, When the It isn't necessarily so. |
