Is the Apollo 10 1/2 mission real? To simply put it, no. The mission is a fictitious creation in Stan's mind. The reimagining of the mission to the moon through a kid's eyes fascinated with how the space journey worked is a better way of explaining the events of the film.
Apollo 101⁄2: A Space Age Childhood is a 2022 American adult animated coming of age drama film set during the events preceding the Apollo 11 Moon landing, loosely based on the childhood of writer, director, and producer Richard Linklater.
So while much of Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Childhood is fictional, a core part of the film is rooted in a true story of Linklater's early life.
They might have wanted to, but it was impossible for that lunar module to land. It was an early design that was too heavy for a lunar landing, or, to be more precise, too heavy to be able to complete the ascent back to the command module.
On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Moon, and four days later the three astronauts returned to Earth, fulfilling John F. Kennedy's challenge to Americans to land astronauts on the Moon and return them safely to Earth by the end of the 1960s.
These astronauts almost crashed into the moon. The Apollo 10 mission was the ultimate dress rehearsal for the moon landing. This mission was designed to mirror the Apollo 11 mission in almost every way but one; the actual moon landing.
Less than two years earlier, on Jan. 27, 1967, the three crew members of Apollo 1 — Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White II and Roger B. Chaffee — were killed in a fire on the launchpad during a preflight test at Cape Kennedy, Fla.
An errant setting in the spacecraft left the LM's abort-guidance system searching for the CSM at a time when it shouldn't have been, and since it wasn't near where the crew was aiming, it sent them on their frightening spin. A Navy helicopter arriving to recover the Apollo 10 astronauts on May 26, 1969.
Does anyone know why Apollo 10 recorded the fastest speed? Primarily the result of the (lunar) orbital altitude upon initiation of the TEI burn coupled with burn duration. Note that the difference in velocities between the returning spacecraft was quite small (less then a fraction of one percent).
Yes, the flag is still on the moon, but you can't see it using a telescope. I found some statistics on the size of lunar equipment in a Press Kit for the Apollo 16 mission. The flag is 125 cm (4 feet) long, and you would need an optical wavelength telescope around 200 meters (~650 feet) in diameter to see it.
One day Apollo saw Coronis and became enamoured of her. He lay with her in her home, and consequently she became pregnant.
Apollo angered his father Zeus and ended up being sent to Earth and is in the body of a 16 year-old boy named Lester Papadopolous. Zeus punishes Apollo for the role that he played in the battle between the gods in Gaea. Apollo is of course upset about this and is wondering how soon he can get back to god status.
One of the Twelve Olympians, Apollo was cast down from Olympus and turned into a human named Lester by Zeus after the war against Gaea in The Blood of Olympus. Zeus blames him for encouraging his descendant, the augur Octavian, to follow his dangerous path and for prematurely revealing the Prophecy of Seven.
Obviously The Apollo Murders is very factual and deeply tied with real events – I mean, almost 95 per cent of the book is real. It all really happened, and I've got the experience to bring in the reality of it. But I had to make so much stuff up.
The nation's Moon landing program suffered a shocking setback on Jan. 27, 1967, with the deaths of Apollo 1 astronauts Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, Edward H.
The command module of Apollo 13 entered Earth's atmosphere and splashed down on target on April 17 at 1:07 PM Eastern Standard Time. The mission has been referred to as a successful failure, in that all the crew members survived a catastrophic accident.
Is the Apollo 10 1/2 mission real? To simply put it, no. The mission is a fictitious creation in Stan's mind. The reimagining of the mission to the moon through a kid's eyes fascinated with how the space journey worked is a better way of explaining the events of the film.
Pure oxygen was used in the case of the Apollo I because the alternative of using mixed gases did not allow for a breathable atmosphere. In addition, the fire safety checks assumed that there would be no flammable hazards that could pose any threat to the astronauts.
During the nail biting 12.5 minute descent from lunar orbit, the LM's onboard computer (most critically needed during landing) shut down and recycled 5 times due to an erroneous checklist that had the crew turn on their ship's radar too early resulting in multiple data overloads.
Burns suffered by the crew were not believed to be major factors, and it was concluded that most of them had occurred postmortem. Asphyxiation occurred after the fire melted the astronauts' suits and oxygen tubes, exposing them to the lethal atmosphere of the cabin.
Apollo 10 completed a flight of 192 hours, three minutes, 23 seconds - one minute, 24 seconds longer than planned.
In space we can assume that there would be no external organisms such as insects and fungi to break down the body, but we still carry plenty of bacteria with us. Left unchecked, these would rapidly multiply and cause putrefaction of a corpse on board the shuttle or the ISS.
During spaceflight. As of March 2021, in-flight accidents have killed 15 astronauts and 4 cosmonauts, in five separate incidents. Three of them had flown above the Kármán line (edge of space), and one was intended to do so. In each case, the entire crew was killed.
The crew, Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev, arrived at the space station on 7 June 1971, and departed on 29 June 1971. The mission ended in disaster when the crew capsule depressurised during preparations for re-entry, killing the three-man crew.
