Apollo XI: Going to the Sea of \u200b\u200bTranquility.

40 th Anniversary of the arrival of man to the moon.

Today is July 20. On this day 40 years ago, man first walked on the moon . Without doubt this is the largest ever space conquest achieved, and probably the greatest challenge man has faced in its history.

But I'm not going to tell you about stepping on the moon for documentaries that are already circulating these days on television. Today I would speak of the fine print of what never mind, the human factor, the value and courage of the Apollo program NASA , program for whom I have deep admiration and respect. Only then understand what humanity is faced that afternoon in July 1969.

When Neil Armstrong got off the lunar module after landing on the moon in Mare Tranquilitatis, and uttered the words that we all know, humanity was not ready for that really. In 1969 there was no technology for a mission of such caliber. There were many things that could go wrong, and some were about to turn into tragedy that the end was a miraculous success.

The Apollo capsule was a cone 3 meters high by 4 meters in diameter at its base, up to 3 astronauts compathy a tiny cabin in a journey that took about a week. Was installed at the tip of a huge rocket 110 meters high, the Saturn V.

The Saturn was responsible for providing the necessary thrust to escape Earth orbit and direct the path to the lunar orbit. Inside the Saturn V had three modules, the Command Module (the cabin carrying the three astronauts), the Service Module (CSM), which supplied electricity, oxygen and water to the Command Module and Lunar Module ( LEM), the ship on which the astronauts descend from lunar orbit to the surface.

Although you can give image of being a very sophisticated technology package, nothing is further from the truth. A Moon have been little more than a tin of sardines. The technology of the Apollo program was sufficient, but not enough to put a man on the moon . The command module was guided by a computer about the size of a box of CD's, and had fewer features than a scientific calculator.

Lunar Module was a device with four spider-like legs. The outer skin was as thick as two layers of aluminum foil. Was designed to land on the moon and could only accommodate two astronauts for just two days.

This module was installed on the Saturn V on the Service Module. Once the plane was on the path toward the Moon had to remove the Lunar Module inside the Saturn and attaching it to the Command Module in a move that astronauts performed a fully manual, and which had not room for error. If the two modules are not successfully mated in space would have to abort the mission.

As you see, the lack technology was supplied by the human factor, perhaps even limits greatly exaggerated. The Apollo XI was on the verge of failure when, shortly before landed on the Moon, an alarm came in the form warning that the computer data had been saturated and had been locked. The lunar module was diverted landing point and Armstrong had to take the controls for landing on the moon with a ship, to make matters worse, he was about to run out of fuel. Worse was when Aldrin and Armstrong returned to the lunar module and found that the engine ignition circuit was broken. If they could not turn the engine could not return to the command module that had been orbiting the Moon and take them back home. There was also no possibility of rescue; die in the Moon. It was just a pen what saved them from certain death to be able to introduce in the circuit and igniting the propellant.

Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins returned to Earth to become global heroes.

The Apollo XIII

But the story of Apollo XI can not be understood in its integrity without talking about what happened to the Apollo XIII. Mission 13 was the biggest success in the history of NASA . In April 1970, only months after stepping Moon, NASA was about repeat the same feat. This time in the crater Fra Mauro. Three days after launch, and ongoing Moon, one of the cryogenic oxygen tanks located in the Service Module exploded, leaving the ship almost no energy and pouring the remaining oxygen in outer space.

The situation in which they found the three astronauts - Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert - makes the hair stand on end. Alone, hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth , running out of oxygen in a tiny cabin without enough energy to go home. They had to basic survival systems as lighting, heating and rationing the little water that remained. Fred Haise began to feel ill and Lovell and Swigert both suffered a great psychological stress that prevented them from thinking clearly. The team was that night at the mission control did not rest a single second for nearly two days until he could miraculously bring the three men safely back to Earth .

Brazilian Soap Operas

Idol: Airline Pilot Being

"Becoming a airline pilot is like Pop Idol, from the success was sold as something easy, but once inside academia things are not simple, and what is outside is even worse. A hundred, two survive. "

is the dream of youth who choose to direct their studies toward aviation, elitist world of gold braid, beautiful hostesses and air rich kids who travel around the world in the cockpits of modern jets. Unfortunately, the notion held by many about this world is totally false.

program is very similar to American Idol: success is sold as a very nice and easy, but once inside the academy things are not simple, and what is outside is even worse. Hundred, two survive.

be a pilot, in general, not the best job in the world and is so well paid as people think. I do not know what it charges an airline pilot, but I know you get into this looking for a good salary and good retirement best to be a minister or official in the worst case. This idea of \u200b\u200b"millionaire air" is from that time that Iberia was the state and benefited from the pilots from the Air Force and the ENA. Today, with the airlines and flying schools privatized, the crisis and now Iberia is the only English company, things are very different.

Although it seems obvious what I say, in the background is something that not everyone is clear: to become a pilot you have to like to fly above all, not only passengers but also aircraft cargo planes, spraying, ultralight planes and brooms if any, and you have to like it enough to get up at 3 am, far from home, your family and friends, because loneliness is something that is part of the life of any crew. The

of the airlines is not a work of great personal satisfaction "technician" level. Let me explain. Today's airline pilots not drive anything, manage the flight, which is very different. In a world where computers and the simplicity of the cabins has gained momentum, a few things you are already a pilot who does not touch switches, turn switches and overcome delays in the air. The truth was piloting during the years of Constellation or Caravelle.

If this is not no wonder, not to mention the way forward for achieving this. The first error, and the most common, is to think that everything begins and ends at a flying school. Pursue a career as a professional pilot today can be about € 50,000 and this is only the first part. After completing the studies, the English rider is facing a market that has more than 5,000 drivers on strike, most of them from other airlines and thousands of hours flying jet aircraft. Next to that, what a driver is a recent graduate with only 200 hours? Simply nothing, unless you have a mega-outlet on an airline phase and has also lucky enough to be called and succeed in these tests. If not, you can grab to pull out a type rating, ie a "license" specific to fly a particular type of aircraft. The price of one of these courses is around € 30,000 or € 40,000. The problem is that you're like yogurts, that expire, and give you nothing over another experienced pilot does not already. If after a few months have not found a job, has thrown the money.

If you got to read this far, congratulations. Perhaps your calling is far above what anyone can tell you in a blog. If you still think that flying is the best in world and would rather die trying before revolverte in the grave without having done anything, then do not hesitate, go for it. But remember to get before you have to fly much and many planes, flying solo, flying competitions and anything that puts you ahead. Learn to fly not only carry a passenger plane from point A to point B.

Luck!

Here you have a video on one of those flights called "the pigeon", in which we fly near the airport of origin and serve more than anything to get us off the monkey, lol.

landing in the Hudson

[...]'s expertise lies in a splashdown fly slowly enough to not destroy the plane, and fast enough to avoid stalling and collapse on the water [...]

Many times I reported on this blog that all emergencies are planned, tested and contained in procedures to which every pilot is consistent. However, there are certain situations as depressurized or landing can not be tested until the end. Not like an engine failure in the procedure you do engine off and get to the airport. In other words, any pilot knows what a depressurization until the sufferer.

The same applies to the landing. In the pilot school always advised against the landing but had not any possibility to make an emergency landing on the ground. From the tub, the water may look harmless but at 300 km / h is as hard as concrete, with the particularity that it can not support you. The landing procedure is an extension of the procedure for landing with engine failure, ie the short motor, fly the airplane within the parameters of the plan, declare emergency, cut off all electrical items and take protective measures. Lands on the sea is always parallel to the waves, not against, and with the headwind, as if we were to take in a field. Crosswind If you choose a 45 degree angle between the wind and waves, seeking always to make the maneuver as close to the coast. So here is any procedure.

However, when "wet" where everything changes with respect to a decision on the ground. It is obvious that water offers much greater resistance to advancing the land. In an aircraft there are two parties that generate much resistance if a landing, are the landing gear and engines for aircraft which are under the wings. That is why you should ditch the train withdrawn, because the slightest impact against the water, pull it out, taking with it parts of the wings or destabilizing the plane. With the other it is the same, but they are an insurmountable obstacle when ditch. That's why making the water should be as smooth as possible, flying slowly enough to not destroy the plane, and fast enough to avoid stalling and collapse. And this last is a matter of skill and luck, a lot of luck, 90% of the landing is counted dead, not only from impact with the water, but because those who are lucky enough to survive this, they usually die of hypothermia.

Yesterday, a U.S. Airways A320 emergency had to ditch in the Hudson River with 155 people aboard, after a total loss of power after takeoff. The plane only reached 3,000 feet before beginning his glide to the river, splashed down speed 150 knots (280 Km / h). No passenger was killed thanks to great work of the crew, in a very limited time made a perfect landing and the evacuation of all occupants.
