Human Eye To Get
Best Look At Moon
By PAUL K. HARRAL
UPI Space Writer
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI)-Flying in an airplane at
45,000 feet, you can pick out
more detail at earth than
scientists studying the moon
with advanced equipment have
been able to detect.
Wednesday three American
astronauts begin a series of
maneuvers to put them into
moon orbit and send two of
them almost that close to the
satellite's surface.
Three of their fellow astro-
nauts in December, orbiting 69
miles above the moon, found it
a barren place, much different
to what Apollo 8 commander
Frank Borman called lovingly
"the good earth.”
But now astronauts Thomas
P. Stafford, Eugene A. Cernan
and John W. Young have been
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI)-Voices from space tell
the story of Apollo 10:
Astronaut John W. Young,
after Informing spare agency
officials a procedure to remove
hydrogen gas from water by
spinning a bag of water was not
working “I start off with a
bag full of water and little bittv
bubbles and end up with a bag
full of water with great big
bubbles. But there's no way to
separate the bubbles from the
water that I ran see.”
Astronaut tugene A Cernan,
discussing a plan to keep the
thruster rockets from firing so
assigned the task of flying a
close range scouting mission of
the moon, leading the way to
the first manned landing and
finding perhaps clues that will
help scientists begin to solve
some of the mysteries of
earth's nearest planetary neigh*
bor.
Monday and today were light
days for the astronauts and
they spent some of their space
time studying what they will do
in lunar orbit.
Wednesday is a different
story. Apollo lOwlll become the
second American spaceship to
orbit the moon and the
astronauts are prepared to
simulate the entire landing
mission with only the actual
landing deleted.
It will be the last close look
before the United States
attempts to land a man in July.
often while the spacemen were
sleeping "If it works, tt’U be
the greatest thing since peanut
butter.”
P. Stafford, commenting on the
view of earth from halfway to
the moon. "You could never
tell anybody inhabited the
place.”
Cernan, describing the astro-
naut’s lunch and referring to
Young's teat of smuggling a
corned beef sandwich aboard a
Gemini flight "What do you
know, we had a chicken salad
sandwich . . . notice I didn’t
say a good corned beef
sandwich.”
"We have determined from
the previous mission, lunar
orbital mission, that there are
lots of questions that still aren’t
answered,” said Stafford, a 38-
year-old Navy commander,
prior to the flight.
He and the other crewmem-
bers were speaking in Houston
and had just flown in from
Cape Kennedy.
Pick Up Points
“We were just thinking
coming back from the Cape last
night, we were flying aT38 at
about 45,000 feet, and we could
look down and were picking up
points that were 25 and 30 feet
in diameter,” he said.
“Occasionally, you could see
a truck on the road, so we think
from 50,000 feet we will be able
to see craters that could get the
lunar module in trouble.”
The landing site Apollo 10 will
scout in detail, as it flies the
same descent path the landing
mission will take, is in the dark
looking blob in the east central
part of the moon, called the Sea
of Tranquility. It lacks some of
the awesome topographic fea-
tures lunar geologists would
like to study.
The moon has been and still
is a mystery to earthbound
scientists and is likely to
remain so until spacemen have
perfected their techniques en-
ough to allow wide exploration.
But the low level passes
made by Cernan and Stafford
in the lunar lander, and the
rock the actual landing mission
plans to bring back may at
least start scientists along the
path to answering some of their
questions.
Among theories of the moon’s
origin are the three major
ones: The moon was once part
of the earth and split off into
its own orbit; the moon evolved
as a separate body about the
same time as earth, and the
moon formed elsewhere in
space and wandered until It
was captured by the earth's
gravitational field.
“A-OK” Is the signal from
Karin Stafford, 11, daughter of
astronaut Thomas Stafford, at
Seabrook, Tex.
