Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 1: Setting the Stage: The Cold War and the Genesis of Apollo 8 In late 1968, Apollo 8 was poised for a mission amidst the global Cold War, a period where both sides held apocalyptic views of each other. President Kennedy had tasked Vice President Lyndon Johnson with the goal of reaching the moon, driving NASA's efforts. This race against Roscosmos, the Soviet program, was a battle of ideologies. The mission's crew, Frank Borman, William Anders, and Jim Lovell, were introduced as men with military backgrounds, ready to embark on what both sides believed was a critical moment for a circumlunar mission or moon landing. 1868 Jules Verne. "Aound the Moon."
Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 2: The Elite Crew of Apollo 8: Dedication, Exploration, and Speed Frank Borman, an "old-fashioned American," was known for his honesty, deep sense of duty, and commitment to America. A West Point graduate and aeronautical instructor, he led the Apollo 1 investigation, ensuring meticulous preparation for Apollo 8. Jim Lovell, a "space cadet" and naval test pilot, desired space exploration, famously later commanding Apollo 13. His first mission with Borman, Gemini 7, proved humans could live in space for two weeks. William Anders, a rookie and military jet pilot, was driven by a love for speed and holds the human speed record from the Apollo 8 return. All three were relentlessly committed military veterans. 1929 MILANO
Book Title: Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 6: Trans-Lunar Journey: Primitive Tech and a Shrinking Earth Apollo 8 launched on December 21, 1968, the first day of its six-day window. After testing systems in Earth orbit, Capcom Mike Collins gave the "go" for Trans Lunar Injection (TLI), firing the upper stage engines to propel them towards the moon. The spacecraft's computer systems were primitive, inferior even to a Casio digital watch calculator; ground control dictated long strings of numbers for manual entry. As they left Earth, Jim Lovell described the view as "like being in a tunnel," with Earth shrinking rapidly from 25,000 miles per hour. Crucially, the SPS engine, essential for lunar orbit and return, had no redundancy, making its firing behind the moon a tense moment of Loss of Signal (LOS) for Earth-bound observers. 1851
Book Title: Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 8: Perilous Return: Navigation Glitch, Double Skip, and Ocean Landing Following the Christmas broadcast, the critical Trans Earth Injection (TEI) burn occurred behind the moon, relying solely on the SPS engine for their return. Jim Lovell famously announced, "I want to report that there is a Santa Claus," confirming the successful burn. However, Lovell later accidentally "cleared the gimbal," resetting the navigation. He expertly used a sextant and stars like Rigel and Sirius to reorient the craft, showcasing the astronauts' remarkable ability to correct errors. The return also involved a risky "double skip trajectory" re-entry into Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 mph, a maneuver only successfully performed twice before. They landed within three miles of recovery ships, though the capsule was top-heavy and flipped upside down upon splashdown. The mission was a testament to the risks taken, with NASA having been chastened by the Apollo 1 fire that killed Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee in 1967, and the Soviets by Vladimir Komarov's death on Soyuz 1.

I denne RumSnak skal vi høre om fundet og udforskningen af Universets hidtil yngste galakse, MoM z14, der er blevet observeret blot 280 millioner år efter Big Bang. Vi har besøg af astrofysiker Kasper Elm Heintz fra Niels Bohr Institutet for at høre om, hvordan hans forskerteam – ved hjælp af data fra James Webb Space Telescope – har undersøgt den hidtil ældste galakse vi kender. MoM z14 har overrasket Kasper og hans kolleger, og kan være med til at give os et unikt indblik i universets spæde begyndelse. Vi dykker også ned i en håndfuld nyheder fra rummets verden, hvor vi blandt andet runder en succesfuld testflyvning af SpaceX's Starship-raket, opdagelsen af en ny måne omkring Uranus og analyser af klippefragmenter helt tilbage fra Apollo 17-missionen i 1972.

U.S. Transportation Secretary and Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy recently announced plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. He says it will be crucial to compete with the growing lunar ambitions of China and Russia. Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine recently joined FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster to explore Secretary Duffy's call for American nuclear reactors in space and how they could be used as an energy source to fuel future space missions and the development of the moon. Bridenstine explained how important it is for the U.S. to win the modern space race against China and Russia. He also broke down the evolving legal debate over colonizing the moon and why he predicts that mining rare metals there will become both very lucrative and vital to America's national and economic security. The former congressman and Navy pilot also weighed in on the legacy of Jim Lovell, the astronaut best known as the commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13, who passed away earlier this month. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Jim Lovell convirtió el desastre del Apolo 13 en leyenda. ¿Cómo transformar tus fracasos en victorias? Hablamos de resiliencia, fe y reinvención. ¡Porque hasta las explosiones pueden llevarte más lejos que la Luna!
Commander and Astronaut James A. Lovell, Jr. – died Thursday at the age of 97. He was one of the three-man Apollo 13 spacecraft crew that set for the moon in April 1970. In 1970, the Apollo 13 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center. It captured the world's attention as America's third attempt to get to the moon. But after only two days, an explosion crippled the spacecraft and changed its mission: Get home safely.The three astronauts onboard, and dozens of flight controllers on Earth, labored for days to solve one challenge after another.Captain Jim Lovell commanded that mission—after a series of historical firsts with his flights on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, and Apollo 8.In 2020, 1A's Todd Zwillich spoke to the captain about that historic flight on its 50th anniversary.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for the long-awaited Friday Hangover as they discuss the Bloomberg report suggesting the U.S. and Russia may be close to a truce that cements Putin’s current territorial gains in Ukraine. The two dissect the political fallout such a deal could trigger, including speculation over Trump potentially receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. They debate whether Biden’s alleged weakness and entanglements enabled Putin’s aggression, and how history might have been different had Trump served consecutive terms. Later Brett reflected on the passing of Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, celebrating his legendary leadership and pioneering spirit in human spaceflight. At 97, Lovell left behind a legacy of courage, optimism, and inspiration. Brett tied Lovell’s story to NASA’s recent discovery of a coral-shaped rock on Mars, billions of years old, prompting a broader question to listeners: can we still do great things?

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett reflects on the passing of Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, honoring his legendary leadership and enduring contributions to human spaceflight. At 97, Lovell leaves behind a legacy defined by courage, optimism, and an unwavering commitment to exploration. Brett connects Lovell’s extraordinary life to NASA’s recent discovery of a coral-shaped rock on Mars, billions of years old, using the moment to pose a broader question to listeners: are we still capable of achieving great things as a nation? The segment takes a poignant turn when caller Rich shares a personal memory from 1994, recalling how Lovell agreed to speak at a trade show for a modest fee—years before his book Lost Moon and the film Apollo 13 brought him global acclaim and far higher speaking rates. Despite his rising profile, Lovell honored the original handshake agreement and even extended his stay at no additional cost, a gesture rooted in his Eagle Scout values. Brett closes by praising Lovell as a truly remarkable American whose humility and integrity matched the scale of his accomplishments. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!
