How did the Moon form? | 5 things we learnt from the Apollo Moon Landings

Saturday 20th July 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing #apollo50 #apollo50th #apollo11. Whilst this was one giant leap for mankind, for me it's the scientific legacy of the Apollo missions that are so impressive. So here are 5 things we now know because of the experiments done by the Apollo missions:
00:00 0 Introduction
01:54 - the distance to the Moon
04:08 - the structure inside the Moon
05:51 - what the solar wind is made of
08:43 - what the Moon is made of
12:33 - how the Moon was formed
In particular, all the results from Apollo built up to overhaul our thinking of how the Moon formed.

“Learnt” is British English 😂 I don’t think I’ve ever said it as “learned”. We always hear about the achievement of the Apollo missions but hardly ever the scientific results that were made possible because of them. How much of the science in this video have you heard before?

This may well be the most information-dense and informative science video I've watched on KZfaq in the past 12 months (and I watch a lot). Ever since I was enthralled and inspired by the Apollo lunar missions as a boy of 10 (Apollo 8) to 14 (Apollo 17), I've been avidly following developments in manned and unmanned space exploration, astronomy, planetary science, astrophysics and cosmology. This video is great because it pulls different threads together and neatly ties them up into a grand conclusion, and it's all so clearly and compellingly explained. Dr Becky -- you are a consummate science educator and communicator ... and you're adorable into the bargain. ;-)

I went to college with Dr. Marc Norman who worked for NASA on moon rocks. We just caught up though the internet after 40 years. I was originally a chemical engineering major but Marc got his PhD in geology. So we have discussed isotopic dating at length the technology we have now is so inspiring. To contemplate that there are people so ignorant that they thing the earth is flat and the moon landings were fake. It is as if we are de-evolving. Neanderthals live among us.

Dear Dr Becky I am truly proud of you being British. How good to see such enthusiasm and knowledge on display from one so young . You are truly inspirational. This video is very interesting in that it shows so much that my brother in law as a NASA engineer and scientist was involved in. I always send him your videos and he is very impressed. He came from Hull originally and eventually went to NASA. He was involved in all the Apollo missions and knew the astronauts personally. The moonquake probe was one of his projects. Once the Apollo missions were over he went to work for Lockheed Space for some 35 years . There is a series to be aired by the BBC before Christmas in which he will play a part. Keep up the good work.

I've got one up on Dr. Becky, Dustin, and Brady. I've actually touched (without gloves) a moon rock... along with a couple of hundred thousand other people. Back in 1976, when the Smithsonian's Air and Space museum first opened, (the one on the Mall people now know, there was an earlier one a block away) they had a display just inside the Mall entrance with a small moon rock sample. If I remember correctly, it was about the size and thickness of a US silver dollar (or maybe a quarter) where people lined up and were able to actually touch it. I'm guessing it probably wore away from so many rubs. My father was a photographer for the Smithsonian back then. One of his responsibilities was to shoot photos of the Air and Space museum as it was being built and the displays as they were put in place.

Now I have to deal with an upcoming generation that thinks that the Apollo missions are fake, Earth is flat and yet still believes we are being visited by aliens. My children and grandchildren are dumbfounded by this deliberately ignorant attitude. It is a conscious decision to reject successful human endeavour.

To understand what happened 50 years ago to end the space program.... watch as I predict there will be decreasing coverage of the 50th anniversaries of Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. I would not be surprised if there is next to no coverage of the Apollo 16 anniversary. Apollo 17 may receive some since that was the final moon launch. The decrease in coverage will mirror what happened 50 years ago. Fewer and fewer people cared... and money is not spent on things that people don't care about. This was also coupled with the belief that the money could (and fallaciously believed would) be spent here on Earth to solve other more pressing problems.

I think there's a bit of a false equivalence there. Apollo 11 was a first. Nobody cares about the second - of anything. Human nature. I doubt there'll be much of anything commemorating Apollo 12. Whatever there is, it'll be almost exclusively limited to NASA and a few other organizations. Might rate a "oh by the way" paragraph in the "this day in history" part of the entertainment section.

Everything goes well until the word "evolution" comes up, and then they lose their collective minds.

They way you were nerding out about holding a piece of the moon is how I am inside when I remember listening to Armstrong stepping onto the moon in real time. I was a school boy and this was before there was television in every classroom. The principal made an announcement about how quiet we needed to be because of the importance of what was about to happen, then he held a radio up to the intercom microphone and we listened. The principal didn’t need to say anything, the class, the school, and the street outside went quiet, and everyone listened to it happening live. It was a magical moment that anyone who heard it will never forget. If you are ever in Sydney, Becky, you must go to the Powerhouse Museum. They have a piece of moon rock with a photo of the astronaut picking it up at the edge of a crater. But you might not guess where it and the photo is located. It is directly under the throat of a Saturn 5 engine. It is the only one outside of the US. Australia was given some very special treasures by NASA because of the Australian role in the moon landing. That footage of Armstrong coming down the ladder was relayed to the rest of the world from the big radio telescope dishes in Australia at Honeysuckle Creek, and the 64 meter dish at Parkes. Even today, the only radio dish in the NASA network sensitive enough to receive transmissions from the Voyager space craft are the same dishes that pulled in the signals from Apollo 11. BTW, a movie was made about the drama surrounding the telescope receiving the lunar landing is an excellent Sam Neill movie called “The Dish”. It is a drama/comedy that exaggerates the country yokels side of things (the big Dish at Parkes is extremely rural) but balances that with the drama of the moment. I get tears whenever they show the huge gears of the telescope moving. The big drama was the weather ultimately. They operated the telescope beyond design limitations in gale force winds to get that signal from the moon. Highly recommend that movie. One of the rare times science and a telescope is the subject of a movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dish

@MendTheWorld 4 жыл бұрын

wow... this is pretty disturbing to me that she doesn't understand the difference between radioactive isotopes and stable isotopes. This, in combination with her having used an illustration from Answers in Genesis in this presentation makes me very suspicious about her underlying ideology. just so you're aware, Creationism routinely impugns the legitimacy of radiometric age dating. I don't know if dr. Becky's answers are "honest" mistakes or not. just so you know, at the time I was working on my PhD in geology at Penn State, there was a Creationist "mole" who was awarded a PhD in geology while keeping his Creationist beliefs completely secret. he went on to work at The Institute for Creation Research, where to the best of my knowledge he still works today. Thus, as amazing as it may seem, this _can_ be accomplished through clever manipulation of terminology and language.

Just a "heads up" Dr. Becky - that graphic you put up for the tides & tidal forces between Earth and the Moon is used by Answers in Genesis to make the case that the Earth CANNOT be as old as "evolutionists" (whatever the Hell they are supposed to be) say it is because the rate of recession of the Moon away from the Earth would have caused us to lose it by now. Not really a pool of ideology that a legitimate scientist such as yourself would want to be associated with (jus' sayin').
