Prizewinning flight, but it was the recordbreaking flight. And so they went to the trouble to reinstall the dented engine nozzle on it. Our next stop will be sky lab, and were going to look at that because it is one of the original artifacts on display here since before this Museum Opened. Sky lab is so large, it was brought into the museum before the building was closed out. Now im standing in front of a model of sky lab thats as tall as i am but the real sky lab orbital work station behind me absolutely dwarfs the model and me. It reaches from the floor up into the sky lights of this building, two stories tall. Sky lab was the United States first space station, placed in orbit in 1973 and in 1973 and 74, three different nasa astronaut crews spent time aboard it. Three men at a time, one group was there for one month. Another group for two months, and the third group for three ....
The moon. So its actually fairly flimsy in some areas. The legs are obviously strong and mount for the rocket engine is strong but the craft itself and particularly the crew module or crew cabin was really fairly spartan. It had two windows. Neil armstrong had command of the craft during the final descent to landing. Both of them were standing. They were fully suited in their space suit and they pretty much filled that interior volume in that position with those space suits on. It was not really designed for comfort. It was designed for the purpose of landing, giving the crew an exit so they could spend a couple of hours on the surface of the moon and then launching again along with their precious cargo of lunar soil and rocks to bring back home to demonstrate that they had been there and to have those materials for scientists to begin analyzing and better understand the moon. Its also amazing to think that the Computing Power re ....

He did serve as an American Revolutionary war veteran and thats it direct result of his efforts to supply the american cause during the revolution, he. Uffered his first bankruptcy that bankruptcy that caused him to move away from your city and resettle here in norfolk, virginia. We think he chose norfolk for three reasons. It was one of the most prominent colonial seaports. That was important to him. Secondly, it had been burned to the ground during the American Revolution and they were rebuilding and he was rebuilding of his life. It was a good match. Thirdly and maybe most , he moved here in 1787, virginia had just passed a statute of religious freedom five years before the bill of rights. This would be important to him and his new wife b ....
The idea of a global communist system, which we did. I dont know that we have as clear a vision in this current confrontation with russia. Where do we want this to end . What do we want that relationship ultimately to be in something other than an idealized vision that we can never realize . I think that is how i reacted that, and that would be the principal problem politically, policy wise for the next administration. Mr. Clement i think there is an interesting parallel between the early 70s. Ieason example eyesight would site, when the russians annexed crimea, one of the first things putin did was turn to china, and very quickly director there were a series of deals. He was looking for market because you realize i have to plan ahead, maybe my european customers are not going to be there. Ive got to maintain my position in this trailer election should. Triangular relationship. He quickly turned to china. It was like the 1970s. On the chinese side, i think there is important distinctio ....
