Flying to the Moon, Apollo 11 has been in trouble

Nearly 37 years ago, on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 successfully delivered 3 American astronauts to the moon. Few people know that this flight was not sailing smoothly during the journey to bring people to the Moon and return to Earth. Until recently, new uncertainties were revealed. Even more, the flight will have an accident.

The most surprising thing is that after astronauts end the two-hour moon walk, they discover the electrical switch button on the broken moon landing compartment. They most likely have to stay on the moon forever. In that critical moment, an astronaut's ballpoint pen rescued them from this danger .

Before taking off for 4 hours, when 3 astronauts were taking their last meal before flying on the launch pad, Saturn 5 rocket was fueled, the technical staff had to hastily fix the problem. .

At that time on the rocket contained 1 million gallons of liquid hydrogen fuel. The three astronauts didn't know anything about the rocket's fuel leak. They were told that, if the leaked fuel would not be able to make the ignition, their compartment would be launched to a safe place away from the missile.

Edwin Aldrin Jr. retelling: " I feel that our return may be 99%, we will encounter a lot of dangers, but there are many opportunities ."

When officials of the Aerospace Department reviewed the memorandum, there was no life plan.

In the memorandum, it is also clear that the interrupt in-train system after detecting an accident incident requires 2 seconds to start the lifesaving system, if the missile's ignition is turned off during the initial launch phase. The ship, the missile body will be dissolved within half a second, astronauts will not be able to save lives !!! But finally the fuel leakage problem was finally solved at 1:32 pm. The spacecraft was taken off.

Within 48 hours of takeoff, the ship was still safe, without any unintended incidents. But on the 3rd day, a strange phenomenon appeared.

Aldrin and Collin said that they saw a distance of over 6,000 miles from the outside of the ship, an unclear flying object (often called a UFO) that always flew by the ship, but it was not like the nameplate the fire has separated from the ship.

Aldrin said: " This really makes people feel insecure. An object flies outside the ship, it is so close that it can be observed, Collin can observe the object with binoculars, yes. it's L-shaped ".

At the same time, in the spacecraft also appeared a mysterious light.

Aldrin recalls: " Suddenly I saw a light. I was too scared and thought of the possibility that the object had entered the cabin. I asked the other two if they could see anything and they said, saw This light streak is over 100 times ".

This light caused the astronauts to worry.

In the universe without air, any object that can penetrate the boat can cause an accident. Aldrin reported this situation to the Control Center, astronauts were told that it was high-speed heavy particles that could penetrate the ship, even through the body.

Apollo 11 continued to fly during the bombardment of these heavy particles.

Oddly, after they woke up, the strange object following the ship disappeared.

Computer stopped working and key time

After the ship entered the moon's orbit, astronauts began preparing for the most dangerous part of this landfall.

The Apollo spins at a height of 80 miles in the sky of the moon.

Armstrong and Adrin entered the landing zone, Collin stayed in the control cabin. To reduce weight, the landing compartment wall is very thin, so astronauts must be very careful.

The chairman of the Apollo 11 ship, Ginns Kranz, recounted: " If you use your finger to press the cavity wall, you can penetrate it, the thickness of the landing compartment is only equivalent to two thin aluminum layers ."

The problem happened, at the critical moment when the ship landed on the moon, the computer on the spacecraft suddenly went dormant and constantly displayed the wrong codes.

According to Adrin: " No matter how we adjust it, computers are constantly making warnings ." Turns out, the news of grounding radar was overloaded with the airship computer, too much information entered into the computer. Fortunately, they solved this problem.

Next, another incident happened . fuel for the engine suffered a serious shortage.

Astronauts were forced to land within 15 seconds, but in previous trainings, they often needed at least 10 seconds to complete parachuting. The two decided to immediately parachute, the engine also turned off the fire, the landing compartment safely landed. The control center on earth had to "hold your breath" for this landing.

Door jammed, risk of staying permanently on the Moon!

While the whole world is watching the landing of astronauts on the Moon's surface on the TV . the problem: the door of the landing compartment gets stuck!

Both astronauts fell into a crisis of crisis. Aldrin recounted: " We were not aware that the pressure in the compartment would drop so sharply, normally, when we open the valve to adjust the pressure there is no need to exhaust the air, but this time. We had to discharge it. We wanted to pull the door on the bottom of the chamber but could not pull it up . "

Aldrin tried to open the door again while it was almost desperate, and miraculously, the door was opened. Armstrong puts his footsteps on the moon.

15 minutes later, Aldrin also left the landing zone, he wanted to check carefully to avoid small mistakes but "deadly dangers", the cabin door was not locked to avoid the difficulty of returning. ship.

After 2 hours of walking on the moon, astronauts discovered an object mixed in dust on the moon - one end of the boundary switch was broken. Turns out, in the cramped landing compartment, the astronaut's suit had severed an important electrical switch of the engine's starter pole.

Without switches, they will have to "rest on the moon forever"!

Aldrin had found a ballpoint pen in the landing compartment and succeeded in connecting the power line with the same pen, the landing compartment was able to leave the moon.

Until now, Aldrin still carefully kept the pen that had saved his life and his teammates. The pen that saved life in a secret document was kept for 30 years, when President R. Nixon used to be very worried about this trip.

Americans have prepared an "ego" for the worst case for astronauts.

In the "eulogy" article that was prepared in advance, there was a paragraph that said: " Fate has chosen moon explorers for peace, they have rested permanently on the moon ."

And this "backup eulogy" just a little more will be known to the American people and the world .
