  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Echoes of Apollo by George Thompson Murdering Apollo: John F
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Echoes of Apollo by George Thompson Murdering Apollo: John F. Kennedy and the retreat from the lunar goal (part 1) What if John F. Kennedy had lived? Would he have canceled the Apollo program, or at least slowed it down? That is a powerful question, and one for which we will never have an answer. However, it is possible that clues to the answer currently exist on an audio tape held at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. Unfortunately, that tape will probably not be released for many years to come. Considering that the two nations had been to the brink of nuclear war only a year before, this was a rather startling attempt at rapprochement. It followed a similar proposal that Kennedy had made a month before to Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. Considering that the two nations had been to the brink of nuclear war only a year before, this was a rather startling attempt at rapprochement. What led to Kennedy’s decision to make this proposal in the UN at that time? Unfortunately, the paper record is insufficient to answer this question. During a March 1964 interview, Kennedy advisor Theodore Sorensen was asked about what motivated Kennedy’s offer to the Soviet Union. Sorensen replied that the high costs of Apollo may have been a factor. “I think he was understandably reluctant to continue that rate of increase. He wished to find ways to spend less money on the program and to cut out the fat which he was convinced was in the budget.

New Scientist gets exclusive access to Mars 500's mission control See more: Video and photos from the Mars 500 mission on our interactive timeline CHIEF engineer Konstantin Chetvergov strides into the ground control room, work boots clicking on the brown-speckled floor. The buzz of conversation halts, leaving only the sound of whirring electronics and the engineer's march. It is day 334 of a 520- Getting to Mars is all in the mind day mission to Mars and Chetvergov's team has a problem. He sits down in front of five monitors displaying life-support schematics. A warning light is flashing, telling him something is amiss with the shower cabin on the Mars crew's spacecraft. It's a worry. Small things can escalate when six astronauts are cooped up together for a year and a half. The engineer leans forward and speaks into a camera and microphone. "Good afternoon, crew," he says. "This message is to request a check of the shower-drainage system at about" – he glances up at the clock and calculates – "6 o'clock." He adds a few more words, then signs off.
