I bet Collins is tired of telling everyone that no he wasn't lonely. For 50 straight years. We only have 22 of those "classic" astronauts left. The last one will probably be gone by the end of next decade unless he lives to be 100. It's a sad thought. Maybe one will live to see humans walk on the Moon again. It will be weird to live in a world without anyone with such experience. 4 moonwalkers left.

There were already people speculating about and making fun of space voyage, before the moon landing, there were some tv shows featuring some faux space astronauts or aliens visiting, of course is harder to find those than it would be now just writing "moon memes", you say that because the internet lets you experience much more of what people create now other than computers allowing an easier infrastructure and tools to create this content.

The two Voyagers are a pretty good second. They're the first man made objects to pass into interstellar space, that's still damn impressive.

Could be Apollo 7. Wally Schirra, professional veteran (only one to flight from Mercury to Apollo) caught cold and there was some friction. Chris Kraft was pissed as always although Schirra already said he's gonna retire his co-pilots Cunningham and Eisele never flew again either.
The Skylab case is interesting. I hope to find Searching for Skylab one day (it's gonna be tough because it's an independent documentary) or read more about it but the crews usually weren't happy if the schedule was too intense for them.

One of the Mercury astronauts blew off ground control because he was trying to figure out what the fucking little "lights" were flying around his craft (ice particles). This was when mission timelines were tight as fuck, and his fucking around required changing to the alternate landing spot, and nearly cost the dude his life. I think it was Carpenter.

I think it was Apollo 7 or something. The mission commander decided not to wear his helmet during reentry because his sinuses were fucked up, despite the insistence of ground control, so the rest of the crew decided fuck it we wont either. None of them flew in space again.

No we talked about this, Schirra felt ill and there were some arguments.
John Glenn witnessed the fireflies and didn't know what it was (or even if it was living or not). Of course it wasn't anything supernatural and it was Carpenter who helped solving the mystery on the next flight. He was the "romantic" astronaut but people often take this too far and think he was a mistake. In reality the mission had way too many planned experiments and Carpenter did what he could althought the communication could've been better. Just like later with Apollo 7 Chris Kraft went mad and Carpenter never flew again but became an aquanaut on Sealab (nice contrast with Skylab) an underwater research lab that was build with the aid of trained dolphins.

He was really comfy and his only problem was the fear of coming back alone and being marked for life (he talked about it in recent interview). He declined being the commander of later mission, probably 14.

Too many people, ironically mostly Americans, forget about the man who made the first modern rocket, their countryman. Is this just a Yea Forums thing because you know? He was great and even had his workshop in Roswell and it's not even the only link that this city has with the space program.

I think there are groups of achievements that have done more overall. Modern farming techniques and technology have as a whole eliminated hunger. Electricity has brought levels of convenience and luxury to the poor that kings hundreds of years ago couldn't even dream of. The internet and computers have revolutionized communication and information sharing in ways we're still adjusting to each day.

Some are out of context and refer to the mission procedures. Out of LM pilots only Buzz sort of attempted to say something memorable but he says magnificent desolation part right before the first step.

They only had to switch places before the final descent but in the end they didn't. Armstrong was likely one of the astronauts who designed the LM this way and it's honestly logical and right. Of course it also means that the LM pilot just reads the data and directions to the commander. Only Bean actually piloted the thing for a little while because Pete Conrad told him something like "have fun, babe".

I just realized this thread is completely off topic. And it's an ok space thread. Definitely better than what a thread on /his/ would've been (likely zero replies). This is where I'll go when something important happens (most likely death of some important astronaut although Owen Garriott died a couple days ago I don't think many knew who he was).

>it's because Armstrong was..
...a civilian.

They didn't want an active military dude because of the implication that we did it just for war purposes.....which we did......but by putting a civilian / ex-military dude on the moon first gave us plausible deniability that we also did it for "science", and not just defense purposes.

Tha's why official NASA portraits and other "promos" were never in uniforms. Just suits (or sometimes spacesuits). Although Armstrong was only a legal civilian, he was still a navy man. The fourth group introduced first astronauts with prior military experience (and in some cases without flying hours) but only two out of six (the youngest Gibson and the future moonwalker Schmitt).

"I want to thank Werner Von Braun and all of the other Nazi scientists illegally snuck into the United States via Operation Paperclip. Without the scientific expertise of all those hardcore Nazis, America could never have pulled off this achievement. THANK YOU, NAZIS!"

What was "illegal" about it?

You racists really lack education and intelligence.

You need to read about Operation Paperclip. Many of the scientists brought to the US were actually hardcore Nazis and war criminals. Due to their technical expertise, the United States had their war records erased and expunged. Instead of being put on trial for crimes against humanity with the rest of the Nazis, they were given new identities and brought to America.
That is illegal in anyone's book.

in all honesty, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" is the greatest possible thing anyone could have ever said. trying to think of something better is literally jonah vs. ornella tier futility

Von Braun and the other Paperclip people were important for sure but this isn't accurate.

i myself am american and that shit is so damn stupid

I would've started reading ads for as long as I could before they silenced me. When I came back to Earth, I would've landed in piles of cash.

It's an enemy stand.

> Von Braun and the other Paperclip people were important for sure but this isn't accurate.

Are you serious? Von Braun was literally the head engineer of America's rocket program. He designed the rockest that got us to the moon. When it came to the beginnings of our space program, there was nobody more important than Von Braun. He wasn't some side player. He and his engineers were the foundation of our space program. Read a few history books.

I, too, would say "I myself am American and that shit be stupid" if I had been the first man on the moon.

ebin :DD

Forgot to mention October Sky

>He designed the rockest that got us to the moon
So do the people at Rocketdyne that made the engines not count? What about the people that made the LEM or the Command module at Grumman? Or the folks who developed the actual plan for the moon landing? And again, he was the CHIEF engineer- he had loads of folks working under him, he didn't singlehandedly make the Saturn 5.

I would say Heil Hitler and do a Hitler salute, so everyone would think that USA has been undercover Nazis all this time.

No, this was possible because of White people.

Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 for most genuine reaction.

Some of these are either mistakes by the transcribers or the now-senile astronaut remembered it incorrectly.

Collins didn't give a shit about not landing on the Moon. It was Borman who, although a perfect leader and really tough no nonsense guy, strangely for an astronaut never romanticized space. There are many recaps of this interview but they don't do him justice it's better to just listen to him.

Today he's the oldest living astronaut, and together with Lovell and Anders celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apollo 8 still sharp as ever and making jokes at the expense of political corectness.

Oh fuck off with your "war criminal" shit.

We burnt the fuck out of hundreds of thousands of "innocent" German civilians, and so did the bongs. We did the same thing to the Japs.

Fuck you and your "jew crimes".

Holy shit it's just dawned on me that there will be committee in charge of picking a diverse group of astronauts to keep the normies interested in the mission.

SPACE IS ENTIRELY A WHITE PPL THING

Unfortunately the Mars landing or maybe even the return to the Moon is distant enough that no pre-shuttle astronaut will live to see it but not enough to go back to normal, meritocracy etc. NASA will choose their people based on the racial and gender criteria. When they proposed something similar in the 60s Deke Slayton refused to choose a black astronaut just because as he wasn't good enough and he didn't want to be an astronaut anyway.

Get fucked naziboo. We didn't burn shit, we took the role of judge and gave those countries their due sentence. Don't do the crime if you can't pay the price

They will AA themselves out of the space race and Elon will claim his rightful Martian ethnostate.
