mission of Neil Armstrong

http://www.worldofbiography.com/9099.../ataglance.htm
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.

A little correction here. 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.

Neil Armstrong, the Columbus of Space


The Columbus of space? LOL. That's a disgrace to the great Columbus.

Cornerstone of American gullibility, Arse-Strong wasn't even a good
actor.

Sure. Show me YOUR engineering analysis to prove that moronic
statement.

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. Everyone worth half their
weight in feathers knows that you can't possibly deploy a chute at Mach 10
behind a two-ton object without the chute completely vaporizing.

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. If you bother to respond again,
please explain your engineering analysis.

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.
