Caption : Jack Swigert, the CLP of Apollo 13, was a test pilot for North American Aviation and worked on the Rogallo Wing project, which was a sort of two-lobed sail that popped out from the spacecraft so it could glide to a landing. The idea was to get away from costly and dangerous splashdowns, and make vehicles reusable. It didn’t work, but a small-scale vehicle was built and flew somewhat successfully too late in the program to actually be tested on a mission. Swigert was elected to Colorado congress but died before he could take office. His statue is in B Concourse down where you get the train to move between terminals and baggage claim. You can’t miss it! #history #author #denverairportLikes : 3214

Caption : Made a quick stop at the Lovelace Clinic when I was out in New Mexico last week! It’s definitely not what it was in the 1960s when pilots did their medical testing there, but still a neat name to see from the freeway! Randy Lovelace founded the clinic with his uncle and another colleague. He was a pioneering researcher in oxygen systems for pilots flying above 10,000 feet, work that introduced him to Jackie Cochran and beginning a life-long friendship. In the late 1950s, NASA asked him to run the medical side of astronaut screening because he was known to be thorough and discreet with a solid background in aviation medicine. Randy Lovelace plays a pretty big role in my latest book, “Fighting for Space.” He was really fascinating to learn about! #history #fightingforspace #authorLikes : 3112

Caption : PSA: don’t launch your rocket through a storm. Why didn’t NASA scrub the launch? A couple of reasons, foremost was that President Nixon was there and there was a bit of a need to get it off the ground while he was on site. Also the rocket was supposed to be pretty damn hardy, I mean it was launching to the Moon, through some pretty big extremes, a little rain never hurt anything, right? The mission landed at the Ocean of Storms and there were no further problem… aside from them losing the camera timer they’d snuck on board to take a truly epic selfie of both Pete and Al on the Moon. As such we never got a dual astronaut picture. Still my favourite mission! #author #history #apollo #spaceLikes : 2822

Caption : How astronomers found Neptune! Studying what we can see in space tells us a lot about what we can’t see. That’s true for finding exoplanets, studying dark matter, and it’s how astronomers found Neptune right in our own backyard. And also Pluto! Studying meteors and planets got astronomers looking for a theoretical Planet X beyond Neptune that might be influencing these bodies, and Clyde Tombaugh finally found it in 1929 using a blink comparator; he found one tiny dot moving against the “fixed” stars and we got Pluto! There’s obviously more to the story, but this quick version will get you through your next awkward social gathering.

Caption : Apollo 8, properly speaking, was the C’ (C Prime) mission. Each Apollo mission had a letter designating its goals on the path to the landing. The C mission was the Earth orbital test flight of the Command Module, then D was the Command and Lunar Modules tested in Earth orbit. E was the same mission but at a very high orbital altitude. F was meant to be the first lunar mission, a full dress rehearsal of the landing. When the Lunar Module was so behind, NASA created the C’ flight — Command Module only lunar flight — then returned to Earth orbit for the D mission, then scrapped the E mission entirely. It was a huge risk that paid off. Bill Anders who took the Earthrise image, and who died just last week, said of the image that we went to the Moon and what we discovered was ourselves. And 1968 was not a great year for America! There were riots, MLK and RFK were assassinated, Vietnam… in all the fan mail NASA got after Apollo 8, one woman simply wrote, “You saved 1968.” So yeah. This was an amazing one to see at the @msichicago! #author #history #apollo #nasaLikes : 2375

Caption : Have you ever thought about the manpower splashdown landings take? Recovery is pretty intensive! In the 1960s, NASA embarked on a massive program to move away from splashdowns by turning the Gemini spacecraft into a glider with a deployable, inflatable sail. The Gemini Rogallo wing was tested in small scale and in manned vehicles, and it successfully landed and sent three pilots to the hospital. There was even a proposal to add a 13th mission to the Gemini program just to try out the landing system. It never flew. But I do have a tattoo of it! #history #author #spaceLikes : 2366

Caption : The Saturn V shake test. And before someone tells me — yes it was the Saturn 500-F, which also had a unique paint scheme. The Saturn V stood 363-feet tall, and though it was pretty solid it was still susceptible to things like natural disasters. The shake test was designed to reveal its natural frequencies and help engineers determine its structural integrity in a storm so they could make the call to when it needed to be rolled back into the safety of the Vertical Assemble Building, aka its garage. This happened after Hurricane Alma swept through in 1966, so that could have inspired the test. #author #history #spaceLikes : 2253

Caption : Sending the two-man Gemini spacecraft to the Moon was seriously considered as a way to get there before the Russians. Seriously, NASA was up for any way to make sure they got there first. Pete Conrad was actually a huge proponent of the Lunar Gemini mission; that’s the reason his Gemini 11 flight hit the high altitude record of 850 miles. Also why my Pete Conrad needed to feature himself so prominently in this short. Yes, this is the vanishingly short version, but it’s still an amazing story! #history #author #NASA #spaceLikes : 2154

Spoiler: the guy who designed it designed the Saturn V that took Apollo to the Moon. But there were other V-weapons, V for vergeltungswaffe, which means vengeance weapon or retaliatory weapon. The V-3 is just one of a few that thankfully never saw combat. #author #historyLikes : 2112

The one kitten released on a mission was meant to listen in on suspected Soviet spies, but it never made it. I have a longer piece about Acoustic Kitty on my YouTube channel for those interested!

Caption : Dolphins on LSD, funded (partially) by NASA. The 1960s were wild! The end of the story that didn’t fit into this already way too long post is that after the study ended, Peter was moved to another lab into a much smaller tank without sunlight; in the house with Margaret he’d had open space to move and lots of sun. He got so depressed he killed himself. Apparently dolphins can choose to stop breathing and just sink in their tanks. Margaret ended up moving back into the dolphin house — minus the flooding — and raised her family there. NASA still hasn’t found aliens, so no word if the dolphin communications funding was money well spent. #author #historyLikes : 2022

Caption : Boustrophedon. That’s the name for this type of writing that I couldn’t get to stay on screen long enough to read it! Modern versions of Ancient Greek texts do have punctuation and markers for pronunciation, which really helps when reading it. Another really interesting, similarly hard to wrap your head around as a native English speaker, is Hebrew having no vowels. There are dashes and dots to indicate vowels, but while you learn to read with them they aren’t common, like they’re in kids books but not adult book, and definitely not in the Torah. You just kinda have to know what the word is! And I really do love the Oxford comma. It’s apparently not standard in the US, and my Canadian writer self can’t stand when it’s missing in a book! #author #language #historyLikes : 1884

Caption : Denver has to have the coolest washrooms around. I love that there’s a separate vanity counter with so much natural lighting and a view of planes! #denLikes : 1868
