¿Qué ocurrió realmente durante la misión del Apollo 15? En este avance especial nos alejamos por completo de la historia oficial para adentrarnos en los secretos más oscuros y censurados de la carrera espacial. Este avance en abierto es una muestra del viaje que haremos en el trayecto hacia la Luna, un viaje que estuvo marcado por encuentros inexplicables que la NASA clasificó durante décadas y hasta el día de hoy. El verdadero secreto se llevó a cabo durante la estancia en la superficie lunar. Nos adentraremos en los hallazgos más perturbadores de la misión: la existencia de estructuras imposibles en la región elegida para ser explorada. Analizaremos lo que los astronautas realmente observaron y reportaron en secreto mientras exploraban Hadley Rille y orbitaban la Luna, destapando una realidad que se intentó ocultar bajo una hermetismo que hoy persiste.

Spolupracovník Postoja Michal Novota a redaktor Lukáš Krivošík sa rozprávajú o aktualitách i dejinách skúmanie vesmíru. Aktuálne témy dnešnej videorelácie: Boeing čelí kritike z NASA pre Starliner Crew 12 úspešne na ISS. Čakáme na výsledky druhého WDR Artemis II, poletí sa v marci? Vŕtanie na Marse, sonda Curiosity. Test záchrannej rakety novej cinskej kozmickej lode. Aj Musk dáva prednosť Mesiacu pred Marsom - preteky titanov s Blue Origin. Problémy so SRB rakety Vulcan - podobnost s raketoplánom Challenger? Trenčín na Copernicus POD. Prstencové zatmenie Slnka na Antarktíde z orbity. Okúzlujúce prúdenie nad Floridou - diaľkový prieskum Zeme. Štyridsiate výročie základného bloku stanice Mir. Piate výročie pristátia roveru Perseverance na Marse. Historická téma: Misia Apollo 14, ktorá letela na Mesiac v roku 1971, mala v náplni to, čo bolo programom nešťastnej trinástky. No aj tento let sprevádzali problémy. Zúčastnil sa ho aj Alan Shepard, druhý človek a prvý Američan vo vesmíre, ktorý je v tieni Jurija Gagarina. Šťastnejší priebeh mala misia Apollo 15 o niekoľko mesiacov neskôr. Dôležitejšiu úlohu tu zohrávala veda. Astronauti doniesli na Zem 77 kilogramov hornín. A po povrchu Mesiaca sa presúvali pozoruhodným štvorkolesovým lunárnym vozidlom. Astronaut James Irwin mal na tejto misii srdečné potiaže. Do problémov sa však dostala celá trojica účastníkov letu kvôli kurióznemu spôsobu, akým si astronauti chceli privyrobiť.

On this date in 1971, the moon was in a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the first phase after the new moon and an optimal time to see the features of the lunar surface. The moon can be seen in the sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for its right edge which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with 50% illumination.

fWotD Episode 2887: Apollo 15 postal covers incident Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 31 March 2025 is Apollo 15 postal covers incident.The Apollo 15 postal covers incident was a 1972 NASA scandal involving the astronauts of Apollo 15, who carried about 400 unauthorized postal covers into space and to the Moon's surface on the Lunar Module Falcon. Some of the envelopes were sold at high prices by West German stamp dealer Hermann Sieger, and are known as "Sieger covers". The crew of Apollo 15—David Scott, Alfred Worden, and James Irwin—agreed to take payments for carrying the covers; though they returned the money, they were reprimanded by NASA. Amid much press coverage of the incident, the astronauts were called before a closed session of a Senate committee and never flew in space again.The three astronauts and an acquaintance, Horst Eiermann, had agreed to have the covers made and taken into space. Each astronaut was to receive about $7,000 (equivalent to $53,000 in 2024). Scott arranged to have the covers postmarked on the morning of the Apollo 15 launch on July 26, 1971. They were packaged for space and brought to him as he prepared for liftoff; he brought them aboard in a pocket of his space suit. They were not included on the list of the personal items he was taking into space. The covers spent July 30 to August 2 on the Moon inside Falcon. On August 7, the date of splashdown, the covers were postmarked again on the recovery carrier USS Okinawa. One hundred were sent to Eiermann (and passed on to Sieger); the remaining covers were divided among the astronauts.Worden had agreed to carry 144 additional covers, largely for an acquaintance, F. Herrick Herrick; these had been approved for travel to space. Apollo 15 carried a total of about 641 covers. In late 1971, when NASA learned that the Herrick covers were being sold, the astronauts' supervisor, Deke Slayton, warned Worden to avoid further commercialization of what he had been allowed to take into space. After Slayton heard of the Sieger arrangement, he removed the three as backup crew members for Apollo 17, though the astronauts had by then returned compensation from Sieger. The Sieger matter became generally known in the newspapers in June 1972. There was widespread coverage, with the astronauts portrayed negatively for their actions.By 1977, all three former astronauts had left NASA. In February 1983, Worden sued, alleging the government's 1972 seizure of 298 of the envelopes without a hearing had violated the Constitution. The Department of Justice concluded it had no grounds for fighting the suit, and the government returned all the covers in an out-of-court settlement that July. One of the postal covers given to Sieger sold for over $50,000 in 2014 (equivalent to $66,000 in 2024).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:29 UTC on Monday, 31 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Apollo 15 postal covers incident on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Brian.

Galileo is considered the father of modern science. His discoveries included the laws of pendulums which led to the development of the first accurate clocks. But tragically, he was tried by the Inquisition of Rome for heresy. The science deniers of the Church threatened to burn him at the stake unless he recanted his claims that he could prove that Copernicus was right: that the Earth is not the center of the universe, that we live in a heliocentric system where the earth and the other planets revolve around the sun.

After eulogizing Alan Shepard, the first American in space, we will take a look at Apollo 15, what is often referred to as the most successful Apollo mission. It had everything - a beautiful location near lunar foothills, a rover - A CAR! - to drive around in, a memerable experiment broadcast for all the world to see, and the first every DEEP SPACE space walk.  But despite this success, the end of the podcast might leave you thinking that something went terribly wrong.The Space Race series introduction music is Lift Off by kennysvoice.As always, a very special thanks to Mountain Up Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!For more information about the podcast visit: ·       The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com    ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast·       Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

Diane Gordon Briggs is the youngest child of Barbara Gordon and astronaut Richard F. Gordon of Gemini XI and Apollo 12.  She is a wife, mother of six (like her mom), and a Christian Counselor. Join in with Diane and her closest childhood friend, Tracy L. Scott, as they reminisce over their childhood and their dads' space adventures during the early days of NASA.Tracy L. Scott is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Emory University. She grew up in Nassau Bay, Texas, as part of the early NASA community (her father, David R. Scott, flew on the Apollo 15 lunar mission). She recently donated her parents' papers from the early NASA era to the Stuart A. Rose Library (see the Finding Aid for those papers here). Dr. Scott will be teaching a course in Spring 2022: “Moon Bound: A Sociology of the Apollo Era.”

Colonel David Scott was the Commander of Apollo 15 Moon mission in 1971.  Col Scott was the first man to drive the Lunar Rover on the Moon and is one of only four surviving astronauts to have walked on the Moon's surface.Col Scott flew to space three times in this illustrious career.  His maiden voyage was on Gemini 8 with Neil Armstrong, when he became the second man to walk in space.  The middle flight was on Apollo 9 with Jim McDivitt and Rusty Schweickart.Prior to becoming an astronaut, the Texas native graduated West Point and joined the Air Force.  After serving as a fighter pilot in Europe, he graduated from the Air Force Experimental Test Pilot School.  He furthered his test pilot training under the watchful eye of the legendary Chuck Yeager.Col Scott was a member of the second group of Astronauts selected for the program.  He retired from the Air Force in 1975 with the rank of Colonel and more than 5,600 hours of logged flying time.He now lives in Florida with his wife Mag.Be sure to join Mick and Mook on 22 September for what surely will be a fascinating interview.

Bob Diemert is the owner of Friendship Field Airport in Carman Manitoba. It was around that town in 1975 where Charlie Red Star made his appearance in 1975 and 1976." "ROBERT DIEMERT, who operates Friendship Field in Carman, Manitoba, owns and flies one of the rarest of all aircraft, an Aichi K-99 Val dive and torpedo bomber used by the Japanese Imperial Navy in World War II. Bob retrieved what was barely recognizable as the remains of one of this type from a South Pacific island, and it represented what was probably the "best of the worst" to be had. Because, at the end of the Pacific War hostilities, all remaining Vals, as well as all other Japanese military types, were ordered destroyed by the Allied High Command. The Val — the Aichi T-99, designated the K-99 by the Navy — was the first all-metal monoplane dive bomber built by Japan, and saw extensive action at Pearl Harbor and during the first half of the Pacific War. It was an attack by Vals that sent the British carrier Hermes and the cruisers Cornwell and Dorsetshire to the bottom of the Indian Ocean in April 1942. Toward the end of the war, some Vals were converted to single-seat suicide aircraft. In our interview Diemert describes the many sighting of Charlie Red Star. He also described the nuclear connection to the sightings. Then he tells the story he told me 40 years ago of the day James Irwin from the Apollo 15 crew came to his airport to talk rebuilt warplanes and what the Apollo 15 crew saw on the moon.

Heute vor 50 Jahren kehrte Apollo 15 zur Erde zurück. Während des Besuchs auf dem Mond hat David Scott nicht nur als erster ein Fahrzeug benutzt – er hat auch das erste Kunstwerk auf dem Mond zurückgelassen.

Our Apollo@50 series continues with the first truly scientific exploration of the Moon -- the Apollo 15 mission. With new hardware including an orbiting observatory platform on the Command Service Module, the first lunar rover, and an upgraded, lunar module, Astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin were able to geologically explore the mountains of the Moon at the Hadley-Apennine landing site that featured 14,000 high peaks and a spectacular canyon: Hadley Rille.

Durante la missione Apollo 15, 50 anni fa, fu compiuto sulla Luna un esperimento in omaggio a Galileo e alla sua fisica dei gravi

The Apennine Mountains are the tallest on the Moon. They top out at almost three miles above the surrounding plains. And for Apollo 15 astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin, who landed at the base of the Apennines 50 years ago today, they offered quite a view. SCOTT: Oh, look at the mountains today, Jim, when they're all sunlit — isn't that beautiful? IRWIN: It really is. SCOTT: By golly, that's just super. It's, you know, unreal! The mountains represented some of the Moon's earliest crust. And another nearby landmark — a canyon known as Hadley Rille — contained evidence of fairly recent volcanic activity. Scott and Irwin bagged about 170 pounds of rocks and dirt. And they covered a lot of ground — about 17 miles — in the first lunar rover. SCOTT: This is really a rockin', rollin' ride, isn't it? I've never been on a ride like this before. Oh, boy. I'm glad they've got this great suspension system on this thing. Scott and Irwin spent three days on the Moon. Then they rejoined crewmate Al Worden, who'd been operating a set of Moon-watching cameras from orbit. During the trip home, Worden took the first “walk” in deep space to retrieve the film. Before they left orbit, though, the astronauts achieved one more “first”: They ejected a small satellite to observe the environment around the Moon. APOLLO 15: 3, 2, 1, launch. ... Tallyho! It operated for several weeks — extending the work of Apollo 15.  Script by Damond Benningfield   Support McDonald Observatory

The crew of Apollo 15 had a spectacular view. The astronauts landed at the edge of a deep canyon, near the base of some of the tallest mountains on the Moon. For scientists, the site offered a chance to study several eras of lunar geology. Dave Scott, Jim Irwin, and Al Worden headed for the Moon on July 26th, 1971. LAUNCH CONTROL: 4, 3, 2, 1, all engines running. Launch commit. Liftoff! We have liftoff ... They entered lunar orbit 50 years ago today, aboard their command module, Endeavour. APOLLO 15: Hello, Houston, the Endeavour is on station with cargo, and what a fantastic sight. CAPCOM: Beautiful news! Romantic, isn't it? The next day, Scott and Irwin boarded the lunar module, Falcon, and headed for the surface. FALCON: Eight feet, minus one. Contact! Man! Okay, Houston, Falcon is on the plain at Hadley. CAPCOM: Roger roger, Falcon. The site was ringed by the Apennine Mountains, which are almost three miles high. They formed when an asteroid slammed into the Moon four billion years ago. Shockwaves piled up layers of rock. So geologists hoped the base of the mountains might offer samples of the Moon's early crust. The site also offered details on the impact. Falcon landed at the edge of Hadley Rille, a canyon a mile wide and a quarter of a mile deep. It probably formed when a lava tube collapsed. So it offered a chance to study recent volcanic activity — at one of the most spectacular sites on the Moon. More tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

It's a fascinating dive into the last three moon landings and what could be regarded as the pinnacle of human exploration.Earl recounts his time with astronauts Charlie Duke and Dave Scott, and Laszlo Kestay from the United States Geological Survey, and gives us some incredible insights into the the design process of the lunar rovers and their place in the history of exploration.Earl's website is: earlswift.comWatch the lunar rover in action on the moon - the Lunar Grand Prix film: youtube.com/watch?v=az9nFrnCK60Find Across the Airless Wilds: harpercollins.com/products/across-the-airless-wilds-earl-swift?variant=32915592249378

This week we were joined by legendary NASA flight director Gerry Griffin to discuss the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14 and Apollo 15. We obviously had some other questions for him too, but we really want to hear about those missions, and boy did he deliver. At 86 years old, he remembered things in such incredible detail and was an absolute pleasure to talk to. This was very kind set up by Max Kaiserman of Luna Replicas (check out episode 15 of our podcast), so he also joined us for this wonderful discussion. We really hope that Max can join us for more chats in the future, a true friend of the podcast.Luna Replicas: https://www.lunareplicas.comFull show notes and associated videos: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/bnmcddpabge6669-2tylpImage Credit: NASASpace and Things:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.
