Many decades ago, man made his first tentative probes into near space. Then, his eyes fixed on the moon, that cold and lifeless globe with its borrowed light. He was poised to soar beyond the earth into a vast and trackless void. Neil Armstrong, the Columbus of Space came into this world on August 5, 1930, and left it on June 16, 1969, for what is perhaps the greatest adventure in human history. He left his footprints on the powdery surface of the moon, the first man to do so. A man, who did many incredible things, made world headlines with the Apollo 11 voyage. His mission gave rise to new ideas and his first step became the corner-stone for future exploration. www.worldofbiography.com |

It was on July 16, 1969 and not June 16, 1969 that Neil Armstrong departed on his adventure. On June 16, Neil kissed the cat, put his wife outside and left home for the great adventure. Rusty |

Neil Armstrong, the Columbus of Space The Columbus of space? LOL. That's a disgrace to the great Columbus. |

corner-stone for future exploration Cornerstone of American gullibility, Arse-Strong wasn't even a good actor. |

What a terrible little man he is, suing his barber for selling a piece of
his hair....pathetic. Terribly anti-social wretch. Just doesn't want to have to come up with answers about the moan-hoax.

The chutes were never deployed at Mach 10 -- the spacecraft had so much drag that it dropped to subsonic speed prior to chute deployment -- any student of manned spaceflight worth his salt knows that. |

Go back and re-read what I wrote.

There was one accidental supersonic drogue chute deployment on a manned spaceflight. Late in the Gemini 5 reentry, Gordon Cooper accidentally released the drogue chute while the spacecraft was still at supersonic speeds. He was trying to activate one of the Gemini reentry module rcs systems, when he hit the wrong switch. Rusty |
