Showing results for "Thirteen" in Science & Engineering

On the evening of April 13, 1970, the three astronauts aboard Apollo 13 were just hours from the third lunar landing in history. But as they soared through space, 200,000 miles from Earth, an explosion badly damaged their spacecraft. Thirteen is the shocking and miraculous true story of how the astronauts and ground crew guided Apollo 13 back to Earth. Expanding on dispatches written for The New Yorker, Henry S. F. Cooper Jr. brings listeners unparalleled detail on the moment-by-moment developments of one of NASA’s most dramatic missions.

Für die Physiker schlägt es 13. Unbeirrt ist Moderator Jens Schröder mit den Physikern Michael Büker und Johannes Kückens unterwegs, um das Universum ein Stück verständlicher und den Alltag ein bisschen durchschaubarer zu machen. Diesmal bereisen sie die seltsamsten Monde im Sonnensystem, benebeln sich mal gründlich – zu Forschungszwecken! – und fragen sich, ob Mathematik wirklich immer recht hat, oder nur so tut. Sie nehmen die Wissenschaft hinter Sci-Fi-Filmen unter die Lupe und tauchen tief hinab in die Geschichte unseres Planeten.

Gene Kranz was present at the creation of America's manned space program and was a key player in it for three decades. As a flight director in NASA's Mission Control, Kranz witnessed firsthand the making of history. He participated in the space program from the early days of the Mercury program to the last Apollo mission, and beyond. He endured the disastrous first years when rockets blew up and the United States seemed to fall further behind the Soviet Union in the space race.

The Rambam, in his commentary on the Mishnayos (end of Maseches Brachos), writes: “More precious to me than all the other topics, is to teach about ikrei daas v’emunah, the fundamentals of Judaism andemunah!” The Rambam, our great teacher, whose teachings encompassthe entire Torah, is telling us that the subject most important for him to disseminate is ikrei daas v’emunah.

For fans of The Astronaut Wives Club, The Mercury 13 reveals the little-known true story of the remarkable women who trained for NASA space flight. In 1961, just as NASA launched its first man into space, a group of women underwent secret testing in the hopes of becoming America’s first female astronauts. They passed the same battery of tests at the legendary Lovelace Foundation as did the Mercury 7 astronauts, but they were summarily dismissed by the boys’ club at NASA and on Capitol Hill.
