Armstrong collected the fragment of fine-grained basalt pictured on the left. Lunar rocks were stored onboard in stainless steel vacuum containers (NASA). On the right, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong participate in a simulation of deploying and using lunar tools on the surface of ...
To be mindful about organic contaminants, the samples will be stored in a hyper clean room built just for the mission in Building 31 at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where all the Apollo moon rocks were also processed. Lunning said that just about any scientist from the broade...
The first mission to sample the moon was also the first to land people on it — the Apollo 11missionin 1969. Astronauts collected nearly 50 pounds of moon samples, and that was only the beginning. The Apollo missions, which ran from 1961 to 1975, have brought over 800 pounds of lunarroc...
In July 2018, Apollo left a database containing billions of data points publicly exposed. A subset of the data was sent to Have I Been Pwned which had 126 million unique email addresses. 19. Badoo - 112 million The breach contained 112 million unique email addresses and PII like names, bi...
Default finalization mode set to Fast to minimize post-processing overhead if the number of collected samples exceeds the threshold. New Hotspots analysis combines former Basic Hotspots and Advanced Hotspots analyses configurations and is extended to show additional performance insights such as hardware us...

Nighttime in Apollo crater began on June 11, and the sun rose again over the site on June 26. Meanwhile, the ascender, which carried the samples from the moon to the waiting Chang'e 6 spacecraft in lunar orbit, is now also out of action. Though China's space authorities have not ...
Aldrin added that, while in the MQF, he spent his time working on mission reports and finishing up paperwork, including a government voucher for $33.31 for his trip to the moon. Following Apollo 14, NASA had found no evidence of biological activity in the lunar samples collected, nor any ...
SAMPLES WITH THICKER SIDES All samples that were thicker than half a millimeter (1/50 inch) thick showed roughly 4% of microbes survived through their ordeal. As microbes on the outer layers of the samples perished, they created a barrier that protected the rest of the colony. ...
