When Philip the Good signed the Treaty of Arras, he hoped that he would be able to put all the years of war and strife behind him. However, the ill will built up over the years of Anglo-Burgundian alliance would be hard to surmount and the Duke of Burgundy is now on the lookout for allies at the French Court.

In this episode of The ATO Show we explore the fascinating history of ATO brothers who have made significant contributions as explorers. We hear stories from the archives about alumni who have achieved greatness on land, in the air, and in space. The episode highlights Dr. Lewis Sims Jr., who flew an ATO flag over Antarctica during a 1940 expedition, inspired by early aviation pioneer and fellow ATO member Ben Eielson. Eielson's achievements in polar aviation are discussed, including his record-setting transpolar flights. The conversation then turns to five ATO brothers who became NASA astronauts. Notable figures like Charles Duke, the 10th man to walk on the moon, and David Wolf, who spent significant time on the International Space Station, are celebrated for their contributions to space exploration.

53 years ago on July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon. He was the first of only 12 human beings to ever step on the surface of the moon. Among those 12 men is Charles Duke. Duke was an astronaut on Apollo 16, and the youngest person to ever walk on the lunar surface at the age of 36. During the first mission to the moon, Apollo 11, Charlie Duke was the voice of Houston's Mission Control, serving as CAPCOM. His was the first voice from earth to reach the moon after the Eagle had landed at Tranquility Base. Charlie shares the tense moments leading up to that first moon landing, and also recalls his own experiences on the lunar surface for Apollo 16.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Am 21. April 1972 landete die Mission Apollo 16 auf dem Mond. John Young und Charles Duke setzten nahe des Descartes-Kraters im Hochland auf. Die vier vorherigen Apollo-Missionen waren in den geologisch etwas jüngeren Lava-Ebenen gelandet. Nun sollten die Astronauten möglichst altes Gestein zur Erde bringen.Von Dirk Lorenzen www.deutschlandfunk.de, SternzeitDirekter Link zur Audiodatei
NASA plans to send astronauts to the Moon later in this decade. They'll scoop up rocks and dirt, set up experiments, and begin setting up a base camp. And despite the hard work, they'll probably have a good time doing it. But it'll be hard to have as much fun — or be as enthusiastic — as Apollo 16 astronaut Charles Duke. He and John Young landed on the Moon 50 years ago today. Duke was making his first trip into space. And he seemed to enjoy every second: bouncing across the surface in a Moon buggy ... DUKE: ...and we're — ooik — There it is! There's Flag! We're here! You did it! YOUNG: Charlie, you're hitting my arm. DUKE: Excuse me. YOUNG: You want to wind up in that big crater? ... gathering samples ... DUKE: Here he comes, folks. He's got the hammer out. I knew he couldn't resist. (chuckle) ... Okay, how's the old heartbeat? MISSION CONTROL: You're up to about a hundred and forty. ... drilling a hole in the surface ... DUKE: Okay, are you guys ready? Here we go! Man, that beauty is going right in! MISSION CONTROL: Outstanding! ... or returning to their lander at the end of a long moonwalk ... DUKE: Hot dog! You did it! ... Home again, home again, jiggety jig! ... Man, Tony, you don't know how much fun this has been. During three days on the surface, Young and Duke collected more than 200 pounds of samples, and set up several experiments. They and crewmate Ken Mattingly returned to Earth on April 27th, 1972, after a busy — and apparently fun — trip to the Moon. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory
Am 20. April 1972 landeten die Astronauten John Young und Charles Duke im Hochland des Mondes. Von ihrer Reise brachten sie einen Schatz für die Wissenschaft mit: 90 Kilogramm Mondgestein.
Six Apollo missions put astronauts on the Moon. Each flight carried three men. Two of them landed, while the third stayed aboard the command module in lunar orbit. On the surface, astronauts gathered rocks, took pictures, and set up experiments. But the guys they left behind could be just as busy. Consider Ken Mattingly, the command module pilot for Apollo 16, which arrived at the Moon 50 years ago today. Mattingly stayed in orbit, about 70 miles up, while crewmates John Young and Charles Duke spent three days on the surface. Mattingly operated a suite of scientific instruments. The gear included cameras, which mapped about six percent of the Moon in high resolution. It also included instruments that mapped the mineral and chemical composition of the ground below, probed for magnetic fields, and looked for traces of an atmosphere. Mattingly also used binoculars to help make his own observations of the Moon. After Young and Duke rejoined him, they dropped a small satellite into lunar orbit. It was designed to study the solar wind, plus the Moon's magnetic and gravitational fields. It operated for several weeks before it crashed into the Moon. During the trip home, Mattingly took a spacewalk — about 200,000 miles from Earth. He plucked film from the cameras, and took out a package containing microscopic life to see how the organisms reacted to space — final chores for a “solo” lunar explorer. More about Apollo 16 tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory
When the first Apollo astronauts landed on the Moon, it was all about politics. The goal was to get them to the Moon and back by the end of the 1960s, winning a race against the Soviet Union. But by the time the fifth landing mission headed for the Moon 50 years ago this month, it was all about the science. LAUNCH CONTROL: Five, four ... The engines now building up to 7.7 million pounds of thrust ... We have a launch commit, and we have a liftoff! The swing arms moving back. We've cleared the tower. [11] Apollo 16 was targeted for a region known as Descartes, in the Moon's rugged highlands. Earlier missions had landed on the smoother plains. It was thought that Descartes might have been created by volcanoes, and not by asteroid impacts. Astronauts John Young and Charles Duke landed on April 20th, 1972. They spent three days on the Moon. They made three moonwalks, and drove their lunar rover almost 17 miles. They picked up more than 200 pounds of rocks and dirt. And they set up instruments that operated long after the astronauts returned to Earth. The samples showed that their landing zone wasn't built by volcanoes. Instead, the mission demonstrated that volcanic mountains are few and far between — important science from the penultimate mission to the Moon. More about Apollo 16 tomorrow. Look for the Moon climbing into good view by midnight tonight. It's trailed by the star Antares, the bright heart of the scorpion. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

16 Years ago a Man with a promising future made a terrible mistake. Charles Duke Tanner was 19-0 and was taking the boxing world by storm. But Boxing slowed down, like he said.."you only get paid when the cameras are on" in a moment of desperation fueled by his desire to lift his family and close friends out of poverty, he made a compromise. One he owns up to by the way. Duke received a double life sentence for a non violent first offense. A sentence that would be unheard of today. But this was the Era of the War on drugs and Duke was being used as an example. Listen to this powerful story of hope, On the heels of many great people advocating for Duke. The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump read Dukes file and said.."Grant him Clemency" As amazing as that is its just the beginning for this Champion. Its boots on the ground and gloves in the ring for this man who desires to be part of the change we so desperately need. Duke wants to use his story to connect and build leadership skills in this new generation of world changers. Its not about gaining followers. "Its about leaders making leaders that pass em up" Then as they reach a new level of achievement, they turn around and point to us and say. "I learned this from him" Thats all the Glory we need. Dukes Got Next Tanner, Desire, Discipline, Drive.

A half-century ago, as the world watched in awe as Neil Armstrong took that "one small step" into history on the surface of the moon, a voice from Houston was his constant connection to humanity back on Earth. Earlier, however, as the landing craft neared its destination, that voice had called "60 seconds," to warn the Apollo 11 astronauts - Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins - that they had only one minute's worth of fuel to land, or they would have to abort the mission. That voice belonged to future moonwalker Charles Duke of Lancaster, South Carolina. "It was a very tense 12 or 13 minutes as we started the descent," he recalled on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the historic landing. "We started having a lot of problems. Communication problems, data dropout. Then we had computer overloads, so you can imagine the tension rising in Mission Control." To compound matters, the crew saw at the last minute that it was about to land in a patch of rocks and craters. So the craft

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.

Notes * The bulk of the non-technical details from this one comes from Charles Duke’s highly readable memoir, Moonwalker: The True Story of an Astronaut Who Found That the Moon Wasn’t High Enough to Satisfy his Desire for Success. He’s a wonderful story teller and an amiable literary companion. I’ll also note that the end of the book, the last few chapters or so, are really a wonderful, clear-eyed, deeply felt story of how, first, Dottie’s faith, and then Charles’ set the course of the rest of their lives. If that’s the sort of thing that interests you, I really do recommend the book.
