The Near Tragedy of Gemini 8: How Neil Armstrong’s First Space Mission was almost his Last Sam Conkle, Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, Purdue University 3 February 2019 As the space race heated up in the 1960s, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scrambled to fulfill President John F. Kennedy’s charge to put a man on the moon, and return him safely to earth, all before 1970. Though the Apollo program eventually succeeded, the earlier Gemini program was crucial to ensure the necessary training and technology to make it to the moon and back. In order to reach the president’s deadline, NASA had to resort to an accelerated timeline. This involved managing risks against results, a dangerous game that nearly ended in disaster with Gemini 8. The mission represented several firsts. It was the first attempt at docking, an essential and technically challenging step that the media often overlooks in the grand scale of the moon landing.

  • Apollo 11: First Steps Edition
    APOLLO 11: FIRST STEPS EDITION Sensory Friendly Script The Omnitheater has a rotating Dome Screen. It begins above the audience. Four minutes before the show starts, it will begin rotating to the movie position down in front of the audience. You will hear a few LOUD BANGS as it rotates. The movie will projected onto the Dome Screen after it has finished rotating. This movie has editing that can sometimes be quick and feel disorientating. There is no one narrator, instead it is narrated by those who have experienced it firsthand. As a result, sound often changes abruptly from scene to scene, and sound can make sudden changes from quiet to loud. Please return to an Omnitheater Associate after the show.

Project Mercury was assigned two broad missions by NASA-first, to investigate man’s ability to survive and perform in the space environment; and second, to develop the basic space technology and hardware for manned spaceflight programs to come.

  • In Their Prime Mercury MR-3 Cury R Me
    In Their Prime Mercury MR-3 cury r Me Forty-four philatelic envelopes were reportedly cancelled for Alan Shepard’s suborbital flight. About a dozen cancels (Type II) are found on ship stationary making them “Cap ta in ’s covers ”. An un known quan tity of crew mail received the May 5th date. Type I, (left) with periods, was previously unknown before 1959. Above is a FAKE created by Charles Riser, the greatest astrophilatelic forger of all time.. Note the characteristic defect on the “Y” in the word May. Riser duplicated most of the early postmarks with amazing detail. Primary Recovery Ships for U.S. Manned Spaceflight 1961-1975 In Their Prime Mercury MR-4 cury r Me The above cover shows a Type I cancellation (USS Randolph at the top of the hub). This hand cancel is another Riser FAKE. The autographs, although very convincing, are assumed to be fraudulent as well. All Riser forgeries are on embossed envelopes and were created between 1969 and 1974. Primary Recovery Ships for U.S. Manned Spaceflight 1961-1975 In Their Prime Mercury MA-6 cury r Me This Capta in’s Co ve r is fro m t he USS Ra ndo l ph whi ch w as th e Prim e R ecove ry Carrier for John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth. The ship had recovered astronaut pilot Virgil Grissom 7 months before. No Project Mercury stamps were carried on ships during the flight. This cover is BACKDATED and the autograph is printed. The ship returned to port on February 23rd which is the earliest possible legitimate cancellation date.
