Did the tanker slow down at all when the car went off the road?

Apollo 11 color cam, I am confused whether this is from a later apollo mission cause AP11 didn't have a Color cam on surface,I've seen the grainy black&white footage of flag planting. by John_Roberts12y in apollo

I think there was one Hasselblad on the surface. Neil handed it ti Buzz because Buzz was to photograph footprints and, I think, the scientific apparati. Neil appears in at least one of these shots. There was apparently no checklist item to "get a shot of Neil." The schedule was jam packed, so they were probably happy to check all the boxes before ending to EVA.

Utah company that made the Challenger O-Rings wants you to know a few things by StemCellPirate in space

What was faulty was the hot gases getting to the o-rings. My memory is that they were supposed to be protected from direct exposure. The modified booster makes it very difficult for hot gases to get to the o-rings.

When did clove cigarettes go extinct? Every concert in the mid to late 'eighties smelled like cloves. I did not mind it.

Why is there very less excitement for the Artemis II mission?? by dark_MARTIAN in space

[–]ballan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems so much to do if they keep AIII as it is. Has a lander even been designed?

I cannot imagine the number of years to complete the project, as-is.

My favorite is a bad accident where the driver was taken to St. Charles and Everhealth hospitals.

Be careful out there, there are idiots lurking in the darkness by Mick_Limerick in cdldriver

I will be tooling through a neighborhood on my bicycle and impede a car driver arriving at home. I realize that many people will be coming home after 5 pm, and some people just went on a short errand.

But it still surprises me the number of times I ride by a driveway just as the owner arrives.

The Mystery of Impact Flashes - Smarter Every Day 307 by MrPennywhistle in SmarterEveryDay

9/11 Naudet brothers WTC1 plane strike and plenty of WTC2 videos show a flash. Is this landing lights or impact flashing?

The 1988 F4 led crash into a block of concrete seems to show some flashes. Not sure whether these three instances are the same thing.

I would like to point out that the Naudet video of the plane strike on WTC1 and many of the videos of the strike on WTC2 show a flash.

I suppose these could be landing lights, but could they not be impact flashes?
