Today marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 13. For those that watched it then or for those who enjoy all things space, someone has made a website that plays back the ENTIRE  launch in real time. I do mean everything, all the capcom radio chatter, the communications between mission control and the Apollo 13 crew, photographs, videos, literally every moment as it happened in real time.  You are able to skip around if you want and watch the highlights, but to be able to check in and watch things the moment they happened is a fascinating opportunity. Currently there is 4 hours and 3 minutes left until launch!

In the neighborhood  where I grew  up were men who  worked for Grumman. These guy built the LEM..lunar excursion  module. Typical of anything made by Grumman, it was built like a cast iron pot,and never once failed to work..even in roles  for which it was never designed.

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
