Harrison Schmitt may be the only person without a military aviation background to walk on the moon, but he served his country (and humanity as a whole) as a scientist, explorer, and inspiration to countless individuals back here on planet Earth. It was an honor to sit down and speak with him, and we hope his story continues to inspire future generations to push further into space than before.

What an amazing man and what a life! He's now 88 years old....still sharp as a razor. Thats what clean living and remaining intellectually engaged will get you.......a healthy, active and stimulating later years. This man is a great Role Model....and this is the kind of Role Model our kids _NEED_ so sooooo desperately these days....not brain dead 'musicians' or overly wealthy trust fund brats or brain addled actors or drug riddled athletes.....we need men like this.... real role models. Most people would be more than content having achieved only ⅛ of what this man achieved by the time he reached his 30s. I so do hope that we get back to the Moon.....and permanently as well. Even if its for no other reason than needing to have a properly established and entrenched presence there ....before China does. If the West doesn't, China most certainly will! But I also hope we go back to the Moon permanently as well as get out to the resources of the Asteroid Belt, using any means necessary.....even if it ends up being some lunatic Billionaire that gets us all there. I really wanna see a sunrise on the surface of the Moon or look out at the Milky Way from the surface of an asteroid. I reaaaallly want to get off the rock....its broken.

@@careyjones98 Actually it stems from the fact rhat part of the "live" broadcast was not live. It was simulated in a studio because of problems with live transmission which everyone knew was a possibility so they had a studio set up for simulations to show on television instead of having to look at news people while listening to audio of the astronauts and Houston which they were certain would work just fine. Just video was a concern. People then talked about the broadcast being fake, etc, etc

@agena6594 5 месяцев назад

They still exist. I've seen a few young bucks that -if they can find the right path could be just like Jack and a lot of these guys, no problem. There are things that are just out of their control completely though... If we undo the BS going on in the education system across the board the last 30 years and remove all the astronomical amounts of gate keeping and nepotism going on in the aerospace industrial complex they'll show up more and Aerospace in America as a whole will roar back to life and create new and amazing things again instead of a bunch old farts maintaining legacy aircraft and or space programs.. I should also say, Much as I understand and respect Mike Rowe's arguments about college vs trades; when it comes to stuff like space travel and exotic aircraft and progressing aerospace to the true FUTURE we all dream, you MUST have a scientific and educational foundation of some kind (classroom work and study) mixed with a trade to make people like this. They're out there.. They just need to be thinned out of the heard, found and sharpened. The old ways used to do this pretty efficiently, apparently, Jack's is a shinning example. But for whatever reason they were thrown out or forgotten. I also think its all been slowly sabotaged by the outside world whether intentional or not, so many variables, but thats a rabbit hole on its own. Common core is the most recent blatant example aside from all the freaky stuff happening in our schools already. It all starts and begins to focus in grade school. Weve gotta turn that s*it around.

@galaxypanda1288 Месяц назад

Money. NASA hasn’t received anywhere close to the same level of funding that they had back then, not to mention we quickly realized after the space race that without competition there’s no incentive for it. The reason people are considering the moon again today is because it took that long for competition in the space industry to return.

@aok4418 Месяц назад

@galaxypanda1288 data suggests that the Apollo 11 astronauts were not sufficiently protected against radiation: Neither the spaceship nor the spacesuits contained lead. Aluminum is ineffective against gamma and neutron rays. The calculated exposure to of the Apollo crew was 1.8 Sv, an amount of associated with nausea, vomiting, bone marrow changes and 20% mortality. Surprisingly no Apollo astronaut showed any ill effects from radiation exposure. These inconsistencies seem to reflect either possible over-estimation or under-reporting of the health hazards summarized in Safe Passage. Furthermore, these medical inconsistencies seem to highlight the surprising observations that the Apollo 11 astronauts did not show any signs of space sickness from microgravity upon their return to earth on July 24th 1969 [9].

@gunternetzer9621 4 часа назад

@@aok4418 The command module’s outer hull was made of stainless steel and the (upper) heat shield from epoxy resin, which along with the fibrous insulation between the inner and outer hulls was a very effective form of shielding against protonic radiation. Lead shielding is not effective against all types of radiation. High energy electrons (including beta radiation) on lead may create the Bremsstrahlung effect, which is potentially more dangerous to tissue than the original radiation. Furthermore, lead is not a particularly effective absorber of neutron radiation. To reach the Moon and return safely, the Apollo astronauts had to cross the quarter of a million miles between the Earth and the Moon. They also needed to operate safely while in orbit around the Moon and on the lunar surface. During the Apollo missions, the spacecraft were outside the Earth’s protective magnetosphere for most of their flight. However, they were not exposed to particle radiation for long enough on a short 8-12 day round trip for it to be a significant risk. In 1968 the Russian Zond 5 sent a number of biological samples around the Moon and back, including two turtles and these specimens were recovered alive upon their return to Earth. The astronauts would have been at serious risk of electromagnetic wave radiation from energetic solar flares, however the Apollo flights coincided with the height of the solar cycle, the periodic waxing and waning of activity that occurs every 11 years. The increased strength of the Sun’s magnetic field that permeates the solar system acts like an umbrella, shielding the Earth, Moon and planets and therefore lessening the impact on astronaut radiation doses.
