UNCLASSIFIED ii SECURITY CLASSIFICATION _- The material contained herein has been transcribed into a working paper in order to facilitate review by interested MSC elements. This document, or por- - tions thereof, may be declassified subject to the following guidelines: Portions of this document will be classified CONFIDENTIAL, Group 4, to the extent that they: (1) define quantitative performance characteristics of the Apollo Spacecraft, (2) detail critical per- formance characteristics of Apollo crew systems and equipment, (3) provide technical details of sig- nificant launch vehicle malfunctions in actual flight or reveal actual launch trajectory data, (4) reveal medical data on flight crew members which can be considered privileged data, or (5) re- veal other data which can be individually determined to require classification under the authority of the Apollo Program Security Classification Guide, SCG-11, Rev. 1, 1/1/66. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED :_i CONTENTS Section Page I_MACTIVATION .......................... 1-1 PDI PREPARATION TO POSTTOUCHDOWN ................ 2-1 EVA-1 FINAL PREPARATION ..................... 3-1 EVA-2 FINAL PREPARATION ..................... 4-1 EVA-3 FINAL PREPARATION TO POST-_A-3 .............. 5-1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED v INTRODUCTION This document is the transcription of the Apollo 17 flight crew communications recorded on the lunar module (I_M) data storage equipment assembly (DSEA). After the multiplexed voice communications and mission elapsed time had been recorded on board the LM on a single track of the tape, the tape cassettes were transferred to the command module (CM) for the return to Earth. The cassettes were forwarded to NASA Manned Space- craft Center, Houston, where mission elapsed time was converted to ground elapsed time for this document. Transcription of these tapes was man- aged by J. L. Gibbons, Test Division, Apollo Spacecraft Program Office, to whom inquiries concerning this document should be referred. The transcript is divided into three columns time, speaker, and text. The time column consists of four two-digit pairs for days, hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 04 22 34 14). The speaker column indicates the source of a transmission; the text column contains the verbatim transcript of the communications. The time used by Mission Control Center (MCC) and indicated as ground-elapsed time (GET) in the flight plan was updated to both the spacecraft and MCC computers but was not updated to the telemetry down- link pulse-code-modulated bitstream or other time-recording devices. This GET updating was performed only to correct significant changes in flight-plan time occurring as the result of delayed lift-off, midcourse corrections, or spacecraft burn-time differences (trajectory dispersions). Therefore, the Apollo elapsed time (the true mission-elapsed time) does not always agree with flight-plan and MCC times. Users of this transcript are cautioned to apply the appropriate time-update deltas for the updated periods. Dashes in the time column indicate that the time could not be determined because of the use of the VOX mode. Speakers in the transcript are identified as follows: _. CDR Commander Eugene A. Cernan CMP Command module pilot Ronald E. Evans LMP Lunar module pilot Harrison P. (Jack) Schmitt SC Unidentifiable crewmember MS Multiple speakers CC Capsule communicator (CAP COMM) UNCLASSIFIED vi i:: _ _'_ Z':_ _ '_'_¸'_ In the text, a series of three dots (...) designates those portions of the communications that could not be transcribed because of garbling. One dash (-) indicates a speaker's pause or a self-interruption. Two dashes (- -) indicate an interruption by another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated. A series of three asterisks (***) indicates voice clipping caused by use of the voice-actuated (VOX) mode. Words given unusual emphasis by the speaker are underlined. The Apollo 17 mission was flown December 7 to 19, 1972; liFt-off uccurred at 05:33:00.60 G.m.t. (12:33:00.60 a.m., e.s.t.) on December 7.

  • Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009
    SF-Klassiker: Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009 Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (* 16. Dezember 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, England; † 19. März 2008 in Colombo, Sri Lanka) war ein britischer Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller. Durch den Film 2001: Odyssee im Weltraum von Stanley Kubrick, der auf einer Kurzgeschichte Clarkes beruht und dessen Drehbuch Clarke gemeinsam mit Kubrick schrieb, wurde er auch außerhalb der Science-Fiction-Szene bekannt. Clarke gilt als Visionär neuer Technologien, die er außer in Science-Fiction-Romanen und Kurzgeschichten auch in wissenschaftlichen Artikeln beschrieb. 1 Leben 2 Werk 2.1 Romane 2.2 Erzählungen 2.3 Kurzgeschichtensammlungen 2.4 Gemeinschaftswerke 2.5 Autobiografisches 3 Verfilmungen (Auswahl) 4 Clarke'sche Gesetze Leben Arthur Charles Clarke wurde am 16.Dezember 1917 in der Grafschaft Somerset im Südwesten Englands geboren. Von 1927 bis 1936 besuchte er die Huish's Grammar School in Taunton/Somerset und las bereits als Jugendlicher die Werke von H. G. Wells und Olaf Stapledon. Da Clarke aus finanziellen Gründen ein Studium zunächst verwehr blieb, ging er 1936 nach London und arbeitete dort zunächst im Staatsdienst. 1941 trat er als Radaroffizier in die Royal Air Force ein. Diese Erfahrungen liegen dem Roman Glide Path zugrunde. Seine Idee, geostationäre Satelliten zur technischen Kommunikation zu nutzen, die er 1945 unter dem Titel Extra-terrestrial Relays – Can Rocket Stations Give World- wide Radio Coverage? in der wissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift Wireless World veröffentlichte, erlebte 1964 mit dem Saetelliten Syncom 3 ihre Verwirklichung. Ihm zu Ehren wird daher der geostationäre Orbit auch „Clarke Belt“ beziehungsweise „Clarke Orbit“ genannt. Von 1946 bis 1948 studierte er Mathematik und Physik am Londoner King's College.

  • N93-13593 Lunar Optical Telescopes: an Historical Perspective
    N93-13593 LUNAR OPTICAL TELESCOPES: AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Stewart W. Johnson BDM International, Inc. 1801 Randolph Road, S.E. Albuquerque, NM 87106 Abstract There is a long history of thought and discussion on the possibilities of astronomical observatories on the Moon. Numerous ideas have been suggested and a variety of concepts have resulted for lunar optical telescopes. This paper reviews some of the ideas and efforts of individuals and working groups including Hershel, Clarke, Malina, Herbig, and Hess; working groups of the 1960s; and recent initiatives of Burke, Burns, and others. The enhanced technologies of the 1980s and 1990s can make past dreams of lunar observatories come to reality in the 21st century. That an astronomical observatory on the Moon offers the potential advantages of emplacement on a stable platform in an environment unencumbered by atmospheric obscurations has long been recognized. The National Academy of Sciences report, Astronomy and Astroohvsics for the 1980s, listed seven promising programs for the 1990s and beyond. All of these programs involved space-based observations and one of the programs was entitled Astronomical Observations on the Moon. The report states: The Moon offers certain decisive advantages as a base for astronomical observations. In particular the far side of the Moon provides protection from the radio interference from sources on or near Earth and therefore has great potential for radio astronomy. Shielded at all times from earthlight, sites on the far side of the Moon are also shielded from sunlight for substantial portions of each month and thus offer advantages for optical and infrared observations requiring the darkest possible sky.

Also, I am forever in the debt of the talented artists who brought to life the images you see in these posters. As my agent never stopped telling me, “a picture is worth a thousand dollars.” Acknowledgements There are a few people I’d like to acknowledge for making this book possible, and they are. George Washington; Abraham Lincoln; James Madison; Alexander Hamilton; John Adams; Benjamin Franklin; Thomas Jefferson; General Ulysses S. Grant and General Dwight D. Eisenhower. And everyone who worked so hard on this project of establishing a free nation and keeping it free. Without their hard work, dedication, brilliance of mind— and most of all, courage—a book like this simply wouldn’t be possible. Table of Contents Introduction . Make Them Fight All of Us ....

  • Scott Harrison JONATHAN GOTTSCHALL:​Why Do Stories Pull
    Masters of Scale Episode Transcript: Scott Harrison JONATHAN GOTTSCHALL: Why do stories pull us in? I think of story as sort of an ​ ancient virtual reality simulation, not unlike a flight simulator. REID HOFFMAN: That’s Jonathan Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal, which digs ​ ​ ​ deep into humanity’s abiding passion for stories. This show’s producers are obsessed with his book. GOTTSCHALL: So a pilot goes into a flight simulator, he gets this imaginative simulation ​ of what it's like to face different problems while he's flying a plane and he gets better at flying the plane, but without taking any risk. And story may have served the same function for humanity, as a way to go into rich, imaginative, emotional simulations and train up on all the big problems that humans might confront in their lives, but without any danger. At the end of the story, the hero dies in your place. HOFFMAN: In his extensive investigations, Jonathan has immersed himself in stories from ​ across different ages and cultures. There are three basic elements that all stories share. GOTTSCHALL: So what’s a story? A story always has a character. ​ HOFFMAN: A character not unlike Scott Harrison, the founder of Charity: Water, who started his ​ career working in the bars and clubs of New York City. SCOTT HARRISON: So a typical night out for me: dinner at 10:00, the club at midnight, ​ after hours at 4, and then stumbling home somewhere around 11 a.m. GOTTSCHALL: The character always has some sort of problem, predicament, some ​ sort of trouble in their lives.

INTRODUCTION There's one First Amendment, not a collection of first amend­ ments. This one First Amendment has just fourteen words touching free speech and freedom of the press, not a code of provisions, each applying differently in separate spheres of social life. These four­ teen words about speech and the press speak to us directly - with apparent simplicity, limiting the sovereign's powers in ways plainly established. Yet out of this one amendment, out of these fourteen words, out of this simplicity, constitutional law has generated an enormous complexity. No single principle explains its contours; no simple set of ideas describes its reach. There is none of the tidiness of the constitutional text - none of its directness. We live in an age when this complexity has a certain cost.

  • The Overlord's Burden:The Source of Sorrow in Childhood's End Matthew Candelaria
    The Overlord's Burden:The Source of Sorrow in Childhood's End Matthew Candelaria In the novels of Arthur C. Clarke's most productive period, from Earthlight (1951) to Imperial Earth (1976), children appear as symbols of hope for the future. The image of the Star-Child at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey (his collaboration with Stanley Kubrick) is imprinted on the cultural eye of humanity as we cross into the twenty-first century, and this image is emblematic of Clarke's use of children in this period. However, Clarke's most important contribution to the science-fiction genre is Childhoods End (1953), and it concludes with a very different image of children, children whose faces are "emptier than the faces of the dead," faces that contain no more feeling than that of "a snake or an insect" (Œ204). Indeed, this inverted image of children corresponds to the different mood of Childhoods End: in contrast to Clarke's other, op• timistic novels, a subtle pessimism pervades this science fiction classic. What is the source of this uncharacteristic sorrow?
