Apollo project (3)

Six lunar landings brought back Moon rocks and six foot intact core tube samples and they have been studied around the world and verified to be non-terrestrial. The massive amount of scientific data returned has spawned hundreds of peer reviewed scientific studies and is still studied today. It is the most documented human achievement ever.

The Apollo Lunar Landing Program spanned a seven-year period and included seventeen missions. The 29 astronauts who flew in the Program spent a total of 7506 hours in flight. Twelve of them were placed on the moon for a total of more than four man-weeks and all were returned safety to Earth. The Apollo Program is viewed as one of the greatest scientific and engineering successes of man, a national event which held the attention of millions of people in this country and the world, and required the development of new and complex equipment ranging from the spacecraft itself to the tools and clothing used by the crewmen. The Program made it possible to gather lunar material that has begun to disclose clues about the origin of our solar system. And, at last, we were certain that no life exists on the moon. The Apollo Program established that the psychological and physiological effects of the space environment on man were not at all as severe as had been predicted by some scientists. But, perhaps the greatest significance of the Apollo Program lies in the fact that it provided information that will assist scientists and engineers in developing the biomedical and technical support necessary for man to venture still further into the solar system.

Very nice! The only thing missing is voice of Morgan Freeman narrating the story of Apollo program.

Well, I asked him to do it, but he was occupied.

Wow Rob. That tune is something I would gladly play in any chill out room I played at. Very nice...:)

Thanks. I'm going to like this kind of chill out synths, so I'm going to take a 'deeper'look in the Roland pads and the use of stereo enhanced .wav sounds and paste them in the CoolEdit.
