- 1. Why Does a Rocket Need to Roll Going Into Orbit?Following launch rockets normally pitch to the east to reach orbit taking advantage of their motion gained for the rotation of the Earth thus saving fuel. But for moon launches the rotation of the Earth is not aligned with the orbit of the moon so the rock rolls to align with the moon's orbit before pitching over.CC5minJul 1, 2016
- 2. Only Three People Have Died in SpaceDespite the myriad of dangers to space flight and the many crewed missions in space over the past sixty years only on mission resulted in fatalities; the crew of three of Soyuz 11 in 1971.CC9minAug 16, 2017
- 3. Eleven Deaf Men Helped NASA Leave EarthSince motion sickness is related to balance and would likely be a major issue in space flight NASA wanted to learn more about how balance works. And since balance originated in the inner ear it makes sense that motion sickness is also triggered in the inner ear. To test this possible correlation NASA recruited several deaf men and tried to give them motion sickness.CC5minMay 17, 2018

- 8. When a Nuke Nearly Killed the Moon LandingTo travel to the moon Apollo astronauts had to pass through the Van Allen radiation belts. NASA scientists eventually concluded that radiation exposure would be minimal with the shielding on the command module. Still, a proposal to purge the radiation with a nuclear explosion was considered. But the 1964 Starfish Prime atmospheric nuclear test actually enriched the radiation in the Van Allen belts.CC10minJan 12, 2022
