Stars Join Forces to Salute (and Support) a Rock Legend
One Saturday night in May, Fats Domino took the stage before a full house at Tipitinas, the club that has become, like him, a New Orleans institution.

If Neil Armstrong was the first person to land on the moon. Then who set up the camera?
Who set up the camera to show Neil Armstrong stepping down from the shuttle? Was it attached to the shuttle itself, if so how did it function after the travel like that? I love watching t.
Answer: The "lunar lander"....not the shuttle...was equipped with a camera on one of the legs...and it was running remotely to view Neil Armstrong take the first step. No one was physically in control of that camera.

Why does Obama think Neil Armstrong got to the Moon with the help of Government?
Obama continues to sully the reputations of American success stories.
Now he claims that Neil Armstrong "didnt do that on his own" in reference to the Moon landing, and that Government helped them.
Why does the radical Communist known as Barack Hussein Obama hate private enterprise and entrepreneurship so much?
Answer: This question is so stupid that I find it interesting.

According to Neil Armstrong Mecca is on the center of the earth?
I read in a article from NASA that neil armstrong has proven Mecca to be the center of the earth to be exact, the Kaaba is exactly the center of the earth (Kaaba is a holy place for Muslim people) and from Satellite images he discovered this was the point in which the earth emits the most amount of energy. I wouldnt have bothered posting this if i heard this from anyone but hey neil armstrong aint anyone, would be dam shocked if this is true anyone have any views on this??? Thank you!
Answer: This appears to be a story that was made up by some self-appointed "Islamic scholar".
Neil Armstrong was a pilot, not a scientist. Satellite images are just that - pictures taken from a satellite. We all have access to them via the internet. They do not show energy, other than the energy the Earth reflects from sunlight.
I think the person who made up this story chose Neil Armstrong as the "source" because he is an intensely private man who avoids publicity, so he is not going to come forward and say "I never said any such thing".
Basically it is a cynical lie to impress the gullible.
And... it doesn't even make sense. The Earth is a sphere; there is no centre on its surface.

When astronauts Neil Armstrong and others flew to the moon how did they survive during the flight?
When astronaunts Neil Armstrong and the others flew to the moon how did they survive during the flight? Was food or drink required? Was all they were able to do was sit down? Was sleep required?
I would appreciate real answers, thanks.
I would appreciate real answers, thanks.
Answer: Of course they needed food and water, just as any humans do. The longer missions lasted about two weeks, and all the food required for all three crewmen was carried on board, largely as dehydrated food which was rehydrated before being consumed. Water was produced as a byproduct of the fuel cell power system, and both chilled (for beverages) and heated (for food preparation) were available. Of course food and water were carried aboard the Lunar Module for the periods when the two LM crewmen were away from the Command Module.
Sleep was of course required. There were three crew seats in the command module used during launch and entry, but during the rest of the flight the center seat was removed and stowed, giving more room for the crew. There was enough room for them to move around the cabin, look at some of the videos they sent back of their activities inside the spacecraft.
Note to tropo_flight: You are totally wrong about the Apollo Guidance Computer, the clock rate was NOT 2 KHz! Here are the specs for it in brief:
Processor Discrete IC RTL based
Frequency 2.048 MHz
Memory 16-bit word length,
2048 words RAM (magnetic core memory),
36,864 words ROM (core rope memory)
Admittedly primitive by today's standards, but it was enough to get the job done.

OCCASIONALLY I think of leaving the city once and for all. Enough of the busyness and ambition, the hothouse summers. But almost as soon as I begin to imagine my pastoral life, I hit a wall.

How many hours did Neil Armstrong stay on the moon for?
How many hours did Neil Armstrong stay on the moon for? I dont want to know how long it took them to get there just how long they actually stayed ON the moon?
Answer: Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were on the surface of the Moon for 21 hours, 31 minutes, and 20 seconds. But this is the ENTIRE time they were on the surface, including the time they were in the lunar module. They were only out on the surface in their spacesuits walking around (EVA) for 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 40 seconds. The shortest of all 6 lunar landing missions.

How can I persuade Neil Armstrong to talk at my school?
Does anyone know how I can get astronaut Neil Armstrong to come to my high school and talk about his experiences of the the moon landing missions? I want to invite him as a special speaker for my graduation next year.
How can I get in contact with with him and how much might it cost?
Answer: From what I know, he has always been a very private guy. I don't think he would make an appearance. And don't forget, he's 77 years old. Now Buzz Aldrin might do it if you get lucky and he happens to be on his way through town. Perhaps it would be better if you got someone more recent. Believe me, none of those Apollo guys are going to want somebody challenging whether they really went to the moon.
Edit: Well as soon as I posted this, I saw the answer before mine. See what I mean? Serious, dedicated, talented professionals really don't like getting besieged by rude people like this.

With Fear and Wonder in Its Wake, Sputnik Lifted Us Into the Future
Fifty years ago, before most people living today were born, the beep-beep-beep of Sputnik was heard round the world. It was the sound of wonder and foreboding. Nothing would ever be quite the same again -- in geopolitics, in science and technology, in everyday life and the capacity of the human species. The Soviet Union had launched the first - Sputnik, tiny satellite that was launched by Russians on Oct 4, 1957, generated widespread concern that Russia had technical superiority over United States; achievement fueled perceived threat to security and is described as primary motivation for Apollo program and space race (M) - By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD

Is Neil Armstrongs passing a bigger loss for the scientific or historical community?
Neil Armstrong obviously left huge footprints (ha!) on both the worlds of science and history, but does his legacy more belong to the scientific community where he made major strides in the advancement of exploring the unknown or to the historical community where he soared the United States to the top of the Space Race and did wonders for the legacy of NASA, an administration still making history today?
Neil Armstrong was an incredible man and a great loss for the United States and the world. May he rest in peace.
Answer: Tough call, but I'd say historical. While his achievement was not possible without science, he personally was not much more than a glorified pilot. So he belongs more to the historians than scientists, though many scientists would probably disagree.

How do I get permission or a license to use Neil Armstrongs moon landing audio in a song for commercial use?
I am recording a pop song and want to use an audio clip from neil armstrong during the moon landing, "Its one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" during the intro. How do obtain the proper permission to use this sample in a song? I plan on the possibility of releasing this commercially.
Thanks!
Answer: Seems to be government property - as in public domain. I'd suspect you'd be free to use. Taxes funded the moon landing- paid for by my parents and probably yours - or maybe your grandparents depending on how old you are.

Neil Armstrong Death Hoax — ABC News Tweets About Dead ...
On Aug. 27, Neil Armstrong was trending on Twitter because a tweet went out saying that Neil Armstrong had passed away.
Was Neil Armstrong really the first man to set foot on the moon?
My friend saw a documentary about Neil Armstrong and it was said in the documentary that Neil Armstrong wasnt the first man to set foot on the moon. Is this true?
Answer: Neil Armstrong is the first Man known to have set foot on the Moon. If somebody else went before him, then we never found out.
Given the situation at the time, it would be very unlikely that somebody else managed to go there without everybody else (especially the USA and the USSR) finding out about it.
If a person tried to convince us that somebody else was first, we would require very solid proof (not just hearsay evidence).
