When I look at the moon I do not see a hostile, empty world. I see the radiant body where man has taken his first steps into a frontier that will never end.

#Apollo15: Scott held out a hammer & a feather & dropped them at the same time. Because there was no air resistance , the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as #Galileo had concluded 100s of yrs before. youtu.be/KDp1tiUsZw8?...

"I feel…about music as I did when
I was six years old —…everything is completely intuitive.…
I can ignore my surroundings…and
just write music.
I’m not thinking or calculating….
I’m a spectator along with the rest of the audience…."

The Hadley–Apennine region is located on the near side of the Moon, on the eastern edge of Mare Imbrium.
It served as the landing site for the #Apollo15 mission in 1971, allowing astronauts to explore combination of mountainous terrain and a volcanic channel.

Il 30 luglio 1971 alle ore 18:16 EDT David Scott e James Irwin conducono il LM ad un atterraggio perfetto sulla Luna presso Hadley Rille, circa 450 metri a nord-est del punto di atterraggio previsto, vicino a un cratere chiamato Salyut.
Watching #DarkWinds. They have an episode that happens at the same time as #Apollo15 which characters watch on TV. Apollo 15 happened in July 1971. There was snow on the ground throughout the episode which set in SE Utah.
Flashback Friday: On August 4, 1971, Apollo 15 deployed the Particles and Fields Subsatellite (PFS-1) into lunar orbit—just before leaving the Moon.
