Documentary re-released to commemorate 1969 moonwalk 15:25, June 18, 2009 A 1970 documentary on the voyage of Apollo 11 and its historic lunar landing is set to be re- released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the event. The original film called "Moonwalk One" documented the incredible journey that Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins made to the moon in July 1969. The film, directed by Theo Kamecke, was commissioned by NASA and released in 1970 to a population over-saturated with news coverage about space. So, at the time, it did not perform well at the box office. "Moonwalk One" follows Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, as well as the thousands of NASA employees throughout the entire eight-day Apollo 11 mission, which began on July 16, 1969. The film documents everything from the making of the high-tech spacesuits to the spacecraft's trek to the moon and back. And of course it includes the astronauts' historic moonwalk on July 20, 1969. The film also includes footage that captures the essence of the world's reaction to Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon, when he uttered the immortal phrase "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Although footage from the film has been seen by countless people over the past forty years, "Moonwalk One" was shown in its entirety only a few times during the early 1970s. Director Theo Kamecke hopes enough time has gone by that the subject will be fresh and interesting to an entirely new generation. "Moonwalk One" will be available on DVD starting on June 21, 2009.

Apollo Program 1 Apollo Program
Apollo program 1 Apollo program The Apollo program was the third human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United States' civilian space agency. First conceived during the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower as a three-man spacecraft to follow the one-man Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space, Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy's national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s, which he proposed in a May 25, 1961 address to Congress. Project Mercury was followed by the two-man Project Gemini (1962–66). The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968 and it succeeded in landing the first humans on Earth's Moon from 1969 through 1972. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Lunar Module (LM) on the Moon on July 20, 1969 and walked on its surface while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the command spacecraft, and all three landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in December 1972. In these six spaceflights, 12 men walked on the Moon. Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, and was supported by the two-man Gemini program which ran concurrently with it from 1962 to 1966. Gemini missions developed some of the space travel techniques that were necessary for the success of the Apollo missions.

Production Notes
Production Notes ABOUT THE FILM Timed to the 50th anniversary of NASA’s celebrated Apollo 11 mission, Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is a thrilling cinematic experience that showcases the real-life moments of humankind’s first steps on the Moon. In this special giant screen edition of Todd Douglas Miller’s (Dinosaur 13) critically acclaimed Apollo 11 documentary, the filmmakers reconstruct the exhilarating final moments of preparation, liftoff, landing, and return of this historic mission—one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and the first to put humans on the Moon. It seems impossible, but this project was possible because of the discovery of a trove of never-before-seen 70mm footage and uncatalogued audio recordings—which allowed the filmmakers to create a 47-minute version of the film tailored exclusively for IMAX® and giant screen theaters in science centers and museums. Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is produced by Statement Pictures in partnership with CNN Films. The film is presented by Land Rover, and distributed by MacGillivray Freeman Films. “The Apollo 11 mission was humanity’s greatest adventure and we’re pleased to be bringing this edition to science centers and museums everywhere,” says director Todd Douglas Miller. “This film was designed to take full advantage of the immersive quality of IMAX and giant screen theaters.” But how did it happen? How did this one-in-a-lifetime batch of footage remain undiscovered for fifty years? Miller explains that as his team was working closely with NASA and the National Archives (NARA) to locate all known Apollo 11 footage, NARA staff members simply discovered reels upon reels of 70mm, large-format Apollo footage.

Trump Signs an Executive Order Allowing Mining the Moon and Asteroids 13 April 2020, by Matt Williams
Trump signs an executive order allowing mining the moon and asteroids 13 April 2020, by Matt Williams establishes that "Americans should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law," and that the United States does not view space as a "global commons." The Outer Space Treaty This order puts an end to decades of ambiguity regarding commercial activities in space, which were technically not addressed by the Outer Space or Moon treaties. The former, formally known as "The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies", was signed by the U.S., the Soviet Union, and the U.K. in 1967 at the height of the Space Asteroid mining concept. Credit: NASA/Denise Watt Race. In 2015, the Obama administration signed the U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act (CSLCA, or H.R. 2262) into law. This bill was intended to "facilitate a pro-growth environment for the developing commercial space industry" by making it legal for American companies and citizens to own and sell resources that they extract from asteroids and off-world locations (like the moon, Mars or beyond). On April 6th, the Trump administration took things a step further by signing an executive order that formally recognizes the rights of private interests to claim resources in space. This order, titled "Encouraging International Support for the Apollo 11’s Saturn V rocket prior to the launch July 16, Recovery and Use of Space Resources," 1969.

John Houbolt: the Unsung Hero of the Apollo Moon Landings
Purdue University Purdue e-Pubs Purdue University Press Book Previews Purdue University Press 3-2020 John Houbolt: The Unsung Hero of the Apollo Moon Landings William F. Causey Follow this and additional works at: https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/purduepress_previews Part of the Aerospace Engineering Commons This document has been made available through Purdue e-Pubs, a service of the Purdue University Libraries. Please contact [email protected] for additional information. “The choice of how to get to the moon was critical to meeting President Kennedy’s goal of a lunar landing ‘before this decade is out.’ Bill Causey’s deeply researched and clearly written book depicts how the persistence of one man, NASA engineer John Houbolt, decisively influenced the tortuous and contentious process of making that choice. This book nicely fills a glaring gap in the history of America’s journey to the moon, and reminds us that the lunar journey was far from straightforward.” —John M. Logsdon, Professor Emeritus, Space Policy Institute, The George Washington University “Causey’s book joins the list of essential reading for people seeking to understand the forces that made possible the Apollo space program. He expertly recalls the venture from the perspective of the people who organized the expeditions, and the sole engineer who convinced the country’s finest spaceflight minds that getting to the moon and back by 1970 required lunar orbit rendezvous. In the process, Causey paints a vivid picture of the inner workings of American government and the making of technical decisions in the mid-twentieth century.” —Howard McCurdy, Professor, American University, Washington, DC “John C.

IKIMP works closely with the Department of Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to provide evidence to the European Union and United Nations (UN) on mercury policy. The UN is now bringing in strict legalisation on mercury – industrial use of mercury will be phased out, the production of new mercury will be banned and it will against the law to move mercury across national borders. IKIMP is now working on understanding mercury’s cycle in nature and how climate change may affect it – forest and peat fires can produce high levels of toxic mercury, for example. The group is also developing better measurement techniques so that it will be possible to track whether atmospheric mercury reduces to safer levels after the implementation of the new UN policies. ‘IKIMP has directly addressed several critical A large fraction of mercury emissions occur as a gaps in the scientific knowledge base result of natural events like volcanic eruptions and underpinning the achievement of these policy forest fires, and understanding this process was the objectives, such as the applicability of proposed original scientific interest of Professor David Pyle methods for mercury storage/disposal and from the Department of Earth Sciences.
