Apologies to all having trouble with the menu, I didn't realize some browsers have probs with it. I have made a new hyperlinked only menu (just like the old days) http://www.adboo.com P.S. If anyone has any other probs with my site (or suggestions, critisism, or ideas) I'd be happy to hear from them. Adam |

I'd never heard of these by name before; I take it these were the beeps heard during the astronaut's communications with Earth. Yes, they were, and still are I *think*, however I believe they were generated by Ground Equipment, supplied by a company called "Quindar". See: http://www.legislative.nasa.gov/alsj/quindar.html and also this thread from s.s.h (excuse wrapping): http://groups.google.com/group/sci.s...aaf901032cd 0 Iain |

I'm probably the 10,000th person to say this, but that mass of plumbing on your enter page is straight out of Cornelius Ryan's "Man on the Moon", from 1953. |

I got it from the NASA CEV page, prob someone at NASA art dept been having a read ! Look at http://vesuvius.jsc.nasa.gov/er/seh/lunarlan.html Von Braun's design was much bigger, though. James Blish would have been amused. In "They Shall Have Stars" (published in 1956 but set in 2018) he has Senator Wagoner saying "And what about hull design? That's still based on von Braun's work. Is it really possible that there's nothing better than those frameworks of hitched onions?" And he was being optimistic, with a Titan Base in 1981. |

In article rs.com,
mike flugennock writes ...Am I the only one here who's somehow underwhelmed by the clean, fresh, pure, noise-free quindar tones? I think part of the excitement of those little pings was knowing that some of them were being transmitted from a quarter-million miles out by the first humans on the Moon, so the clean, pure, "original" version -- devoid of any background hiss or crackling or other long-distance xmission noise -- seems robbed of its excitement. .. . . Nit picking time: it was my understanding that Qundar tones were transmitted only by ground equipment, not by the spacecraft. Let's see. . . ALSJ seems to agree with me: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi...j/quindar.html -- Jonathan Griffitts AnyWare Engineering Boulder, CO, USA |

Sad, huh? 'This is Saturn V. There are many questions to be answered before we can build Saturn V."* Yeah, they were dead serious back then....this was no feel-good stuff, this was _rocket science_; and we were going toe-to-toe with the ruskies over it. Their choice of music was great also. When they showed something in space, they'd have these strange arias that would sound like a cross between Handel's Messiah and Forbidden Planet. The overall effect was that the astronauts would be in some sort of religious trance from being up in the heavens and near God. People who didn't live through it don't realize just what a strange time that was, and how the national space program got to be an obsession to the degree of a religious crusade during the early 1960's. * "Question one: Can something this fukin' big ever get off the ground? Question two: Can we get America to ever completely trust Mr. V-2 over there?" :-) Pat |
