The Apollo program, one of the greatest space exploration projects in human history, has many unsolved mysteries behind it. The book "Apollo 7 to 17" contains a large number of ** and information to document the astronauts' journey into space. However, among these precious records, one of Conneham's revelations has aroused great curiosity.
In the book's preface, Conneham mentions an incredible phenomenon: during their space missions, despite the spacecraft passing over East Asia many times, mysterious clouds and smog have always shrouded the Chinese region, preventing him from seeing this ancient land as it really is.
This description seems logically untenable, since Apollo 7 orbited the Earth in only 90 minutes, and in 11 days, the spacecraft should have had countless opportunities to pass over China. Even if there are occasional clouds, it is impossible not to see them all the time. What's more, at that time, China did not develop to the point of producing widespread smog.
In 2017, with the release of the book Apollo 7 to 17, the public was able to gain insight into the details and achievements of the Apollo program. This book is not only a review of history, but also a revelation for future exploration. The book brings together more than 200 photographs taken by astronauts during their missions, each of which records the precious moments of human exploration of space.
These ** show the entire journey from the Earth to the Moon and back from the Moon back to Earth. From panoramic views of the Earth, to the stars in space, to the desolate surface of the Moon, these images are not only of scientific value, but also of ineffable aesthetic significance.
They show the daily life of astronauts in space, including working inside the capsule, preparing for a spacewalk, and exploring the lunar surface.
Most of the thousands of shots** taken by astronauts during the Apollo program went unpublished. These precious images record the daily life and work of the astronauts, as well as their exploration of space.
In these, we see the various activities of the astronauts inside the capsule:Check instruments, study maps and navigation routes, and even their rest time inside the capsule.
These ** show how astronauts' lives in space are very different from those on Earth. In a gravity-free environment, everything must be securely held in place. The astronauts' lives are meticulously arranged, and every daily activity, from eating to sleeping, needs to adapt to the special conditions of the space environment.
The Apollo 7 to 17 also shows the Earth taken by astronauts in space. These views of the Earth from space show the majestic scenery of the Earth: blue oceans, meandering rivers, dense forests, and vast deserts. These ** not only remind us of the beauty of our earth, but also remind us of our responsibility to protect this one and only home.
Among these **, there are also some that were filmed by astronauts while on spacewalk missions. These ** record astronauts wearing bulky spacesuits while conducting scientific experiments, installing equipment, or performing extravehicular repairs in outer space. These ** demonstrate the difficulties and dangers of space exploration, as well as the astronauts' expertise and dedication to the mission.
Apollo 7 to 17 is not only a book about space exploration, it is a testimony to human courage and creativity. These ** let us understand that astronauts are not only scientists and explorers, they are also artists and photographers in space.
Walter Conneham, a member of the Apollo program, had an extraordinary experience. In the preface to the book Apollo 7 to 17, Conneham shares an experience he had during the Apollo 7 mission. This experience is related to the filming of space**, especially the part about China.
NASA has made a special request for astronauts not to photograph China during space missions. Such a request seemed somewhat unusual at the time, but Conneham complied.
One of Conneham's main responsibilities during the mission was to operate the camera, which recorded the various phases of spaceflight. In the camera he operates, special films are loaded to record all corners of the planet.
These ** later became precious images of the Earth seen from space for the first time in human history. However, due to the special requirements of NASA, this part of the Earth's surface in China has become a blank area in his mission.
In the orbit of Apollo 7, Conneham had several opportunities to see China on Earth. He operates a camera lens aimed at the Earth, ready to record every piece of land seen from space. However, as the spacecraft flew over China, Conneham described the area as often obscured by thick clouds and haze, making it impossible for him to capture clear images.
This phenomenon was quite rare in space missions at the time. Despite the vagaries of the weather on Earth, it is almost impossible to be able to fly over an area several times in a row and always encounter adverse weather conditions. In addition, widespread haze was not a common meteorological phenomenon based on the state of the planet's environment at the time, which made Conneham's description even more unusual.
After the mission, Conneham handed over his filming to NASA. These include images of many countries and regions on the planet, but the Chinese part is missing for the above reasons. This point became a special footnote in the subsequent archival and compilation of materials.
Still, these ** are regarded as important sources of human history, documenting the first glimpse of the Earth from a space perspective.
This experience of Conneham became a unique topic in the book Apollo 7 to 17. Although he doesn't go into too much detail about the experience, the mystery of the past still arouses the reader's curiosity.
Conneham's description of the part of the Apollo 7 mission that prevented China from being seen due to clouds and haze has sparked some questions and discussions. Apollo 7's orbit is designed to orbit the Earth, which means that astronauts have multiple opportunities to observe various regions of the planet from space, including China.
Thus, Conneham's description of the inability to see China throughout the mission seems logically untenable.
According to Apollo 7 orbital data, it takes about 90 minutes for the spacecraft to orbit the Earth. Such an orbit design would allow the astronauts to pass over China multiple times at different times. Even if at some moments the sight is affected by the presence of clouds or haze, given that the entire mission lasted several days, there is theoretically always a chance to observe China in clear weather conditions.
Moreover, the "smog" mentioned by Conneham was not a common phenomenon in China at the time. In the late 60s of the 20th century, China's level of industrialization was far from the level of widespread haze. At that time, the state of the air in China was not a significant pollution problem compared to today's. As a result, the persistent smog occlusion described by Conneham is also unreasonable from an environmental point of view.
With these factors in mind, there is a clear contradiction in the logic of Conneham's account. These contradictions call into question the veracity of his story. Despite this, this description is included in the book Apollo 7 to 17. This description may reflect the influence of some particular historical background or political factors at the time, but the specifics are no longer verifiable.
Apollo 7 to 17, despite its questionable Tales of Conneham, is of obvious overall value and impact. This book brings together the photographs of the astronauts of the Apollo program and their personal experiences, providing readers with a unique perspective to understand and feel for space exploration of that era.
The ** and documentation in the book detail every detail of the mission from Apollo 7 to Apollo 17. Not only do they showcase the activities of the Earth, the Moon, and astronauts in space, but they also capture many cosmic landscapes that cannot be seen on Earth. Through the lens of astronauts, readers can get a glimpse of the mystery and magnificence of space, and feel the daily life and work of astronauts in space.
In addition to the visuals, the book contains direct narration and reflection of the astronauts on their mission. These transcripts not only describe the technical details of the space mission, but also show the challenges and achievements of the astronauts during the mission. Through these accounts of personal experiences, readers are able to gain a deeper understanding of the historical significance of the Apollo program and the role the astronauts played in it.
Apollo 7 to 17 also highlights the courage and adventurous spirit of human exploration of space. The Apollo program was the first human mission to land on the moon, and it represents humanity's curiosity and desire to explore uncharted territory.
The content of the book shows the courage and perseverance of the astronauts in the face of extreme conditions and unknown risks. Their stories have inspired generations of people, not only in technology and space exploration, but also in pursuing dreams and overcoming obstacles.
In addition, the book provides the public with a new perspective on the role and responsibility of humans in space. Astronauts see the Earth from space, reminding people of the fragility of the planet and the importance of protecting it.
The ** and narrative in the book make the reader realize that although human beings have the ability to explore the universe, we also have a responsibility to protect our home, the earth.
