This is Why NASA Never Returned to the Moon
Apollo 11 was the first space mission that landed people on the moon. It was a momentous occasion for the entire world— one that demonstrated the determination and intelligence of mankind. It has made its mark in the history of space exploration and will be remembered and celebrated many years into our future. Still, there are many things about the mission that people don’t know, and it has been the subject of controversy because of some shocking discoveries that NASA has allegedly been hiding from the public. From the strange things astronauts left on the moon to a set of original tapes that can no longer be found, here are 15 secrets about the Apollo 11 moon landing.

The Real Story Behind the Apollo 11 Computer Error | WSJ
Perhaps the most dramatic moment of Apollo 11's mission to the moon was when the Eagle began its final descent to the lunar surface and the Apollo Guidance Computer became overloaded. Few were more nervous than the young computer programmer who had written the code for the landing. On the Apollo 11's 50th anniversary, WSJ sat down with programmer Don Eyles.

Neil Armstrong dies BBC report
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, after suffering complications from heart surgery, his family said in a statement.
Earlier this month, the former NASA astronaut had undergone heart surgery.
He famously uttered the quote moments after setting foot on the lunar surface: 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.'
A statement from the family says he died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. It doesn't say where he died.
According to NBC News, the Armstrong family wrote in a statement: 'Next time you walk outside on clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil and give him a wink.'
NASA, too, was quick to express their sympathies, tweeting: 'NASA offers its condolences on today's pas...

Fisher Space Pen & Apollo 11 Launch
In this episode of Artifactually Speaking, Brad and Tom talk about two objects from an amazing period of technological advancement -- the race to the moon. The objects shed light on the Apollo 11 launch and the connections that almost everyone felt to the massive scientific effort of both the Americans and the Russians.
Focal objects for today's history-cast are: a tie clip from the Apollo 11 Launch Team in 1969, and a Fisher Space Pen from around 1970.
In each episode, we use two relatively mundane objects from the past to focus our inquiry into history. It's a mixture of archaeological, historical, and journalistic approaches that we hope leads us to a better understanding of a particular time period. We think this approach makes the research more interesting than simply reading a tex...

Neil Armstrong dies BBC report

...
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, after suffering complications from heart surgery, his family said in a statement.
Earlier this month, the former NASA astronaut had undergone heart surgery.
He famously uttered the quote moments after setting foot on the lunar surface: 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.'
A statement from the family says he died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. It doesn't say where he died.
According to NBC News, the Armstrong family wrote in a statement: 'Next time you walk outside on clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil and give him a wink.'
NASA, too, was quick to express their sympathies, tweeting: 'NASA offers its condolences on today's passing of Neil Armstrong, former test pilot, astronaut & the 1st man on the moon.'
President Obama in a statement hailed the late astronaut Neil Armstrong as one of America's greatest heroes.
In a statement issued by the White House, Mr Obama said Armstrong and the rest of the crew of Apollo 11 carried with them the aspirations of an entire nation when they set out for the moon in 1969.
The president says that when Armstrong set foot on the moon, he delivered what he called 'a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten.'
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, too, offered his condolences, writing on Twitter: 'Neil Armstrong today takes his place in the hall of heroes. The moon will miss its first son of earth.'
As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The legendary astronaut was born on August 5, 1930, near Wapakoneta, Ohio.
He went on to work in the military, fighting in the Korean War. Later, he would pilot planes for NASA, and eventually, spacecrafts.
During the historic mission on July 20, 1969, nearly half a billion people tuned in to watch the black and white mission to the moon, where Armstrong, joined by Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, spent some two hours loping around on the eerie grey surface.
He radioed back to Earth the historic news of 'one giant leap for mankind.'
'The sights were simply magnificent, beyond any visual experience that I had ever been exposed to,' Armstrong once said.
Although he had been a Navy fighter pilot, a test pilot for NASA's forerunner and an astronaut, Armstrong never allowed himself to be caught up in the celebrity and glamor of the space program.
'I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer,' he said in February 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. 'And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession.'
However, his Apollo 11 moon mission turned out to be Armstrong's last space flight.
The following year he was appointed to a desk job, being named NASA's deputy associate administrator for aeronautics in the office of advanced research and technology.
He left NASA a year later to become a professor of engineering at the University of Cincinnati.
A man who kept away from cameras, Armstrong went public in 2010 with his concerns about President Barack Obama's space policy that shifted attention away from a return to the moon and emphasized private companies developing spaceships.
He testified before Congress and in an email to The Associated Press, Armstrong said he had 'substantial reservations,' and along with more than two dozen Apollo-era veterans, he signed a letter calling the plan a 'misguided proposal that forces NASA out of human space operations for the foreseeable future.'

A statement from the family says he died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. It doesn't say where he died.
According to NBC News, the Armstrong family wrote in a statement: 'Next time you walk outside on clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil and give him a wink.'
NASA, too, was quick to express their sympathies, tweeting: 'NASA offers its condolences on today's passing of Neil Armstrong, former test pilot, astronaut & the 1st man on the moon.'
President Obama in a statement hailed the late astronaut Neil Armstrong as one of America's greatest heroes.
In a statement issued by the White House, Mr Obama said Armstrong and the rest of the crew of Apollo 11 carried with them the aspirations of an entire nation when they set out for the moon in 1969.
The president says that when Armstrong set foot on the moon, he delivered what he called 'a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten.'
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, too, offered his condolences, writing on Twitter: 'Neil Armstrong today takes his place in the hall of heroes. The moon will miss its first son of earth.'
As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The legendary astronaut was born on August 5, 1930, near Wapakoneta, Ohio.
He went on to work in the military, fighting in the Korean War. Later, he would pilot planes for NASA, and eventually, spacecrafts.
During the historic mission on July 20, 1969, nearly half a billion people tuned in to watch the black and white mission to the moon, where Armstrong, joined by Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, spent some two hours loping around on the eerie grey surface.
He radioed back to Earth the historic news of 'one giant leap for mankind.'
'The sights were simply magnificent, beyond any visual experience that I had ever been exposed to,' Armstrong once said.
Although he had been a Navy fighter pilot, a test pilot for NASA's forerunner and an astronaut, Armstrong never allowed himself to be caught up in the celebrity and glamor of the space program.
'I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer,' he said in February 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. 'And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession.'
However, his Apollo 11 moon mission turned out to be Armstrong's last space flight.
The following year he was appointed to a desk job, being named NASA's deputy associate administrator for aeronautics in the office of advanced research and technology.
He left NASA a year later to become a professor of engineering at the University of Cincinnati.
A man who kept away from cameras, Armstrong went public in 2010 with his concerns about President Barack Obama's space policy that shifted attention away from a return to the moon and emphasized private companies developing spaceships.
He testified before Congress and in an email to The Associated Press, Armstrong said he had 'substantial reservations,' and along with more than two dozen Apollo-era veterans, he signed a letter calling the plan a 'misguided proposal that forces NASA out of human space operations for the foreseeable future.'

Kalpana Chawla's Life History and Her Space Journey #kalpanachawla

Here is the Kalpana Chawla's Life History and her space journey. Kalpana Chawla was an Indian American astronaut and the first woman of Indian origin in space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. In 2003, Chawla was one of the seven crew members who died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster when the craft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Chawla is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Her first space mission began on November 19, 1997, as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia flight STS-87. Chawla was the first Indian-born woman and the second Indian person to fly in space, following cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 on the Soyuz T-11. It is the Kalpana Chawla's Life history.
On her first mission, Chawla traveled over 10.4 million miles in 252 orbits of the earth, logging more than 372 hours in space. During STS-87, she was responsible for deploying the Spartan satellite which malfunctioned, necessitating a spacewalk by Winston Scott and Takao Doi to capture the satellite. In kalpana chawla's life history, a five-month NASA investigation fully exonerated Chawla by identifying errors in software interfaces and the defined procedures of flight crew and ground control. After the completion of STS-87 post-flight activities, Chawla was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office to work on the space station.
During kalpana chawla's space journey, Chawla died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster which occurred on February 1, 2003 when the Columbia disintegrated over Texas during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, with the death of all of seven crew members, shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission, STS-107. Chawla's remains were identified along with the rest of the crew members and returned to her family in India for cremation in a traditional Hindu ceremony.

In this episode of Artifactually Speaking, Brad and Tom talk about two objects from an amazing period of technological advancement -- the race to the moon. The objects shed light on the Apollo 11 launch and the connections that almost everyone felt to the massive scientific effort of both the Americans and the Russians.
Focal objects for today's history-cast are: a tie clip from the Apollo 11 Launch Team in 1969, and a Fisher Space Pen from around 1970.
In each episode, we use two relatively mundane objects from the past to focus our inquiry into history. It's a mixture of archaeological, historical, and journalistic approaches that we hope leads us to a better understanding of a particular time period. We think this approach makes the research more interesting than simply reading a textbook about a broad topic. Essentially we have a goal: find out what this object is, how, when and where it was used, and by whom. Goal-based inquiry makes studying more fun, because there's a puzzle to solve -- and the reward of heightened understanding at the end.
We are thus creating what we call 'artifactualists', examining modern 'artifacts' in order to learn more about recent history, and we hope you enjoy the techniques and the results of our investigations. The objects we use as focal points are antiques/collectibles from personal collections chosen for their interest and potential interconnections in time or place. We research, record, and edit the show ourselves. The images of the objects are taken by us and supplementary imagery comes from Wikimedia Commons and Pixabay. Sounds come from Freesounds, with additional sounds of the lunar landing from the NASA website.
