Editor's Note: Precisely
50 years ago, from the time of the posting of this blog-post, NASA's
Apollo 11 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida
at 9:32 a.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time (EDT) / 13:32 Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) on Wednesday, 1969 July 16. Four days later,
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would become the first humans to step onto
another world, the Earth's Moon. The following is a brief essay
regarding the historical and scientific significance of the Apollo 11
mission, as well as possible reasons no crewed mission has returned
to the Moon since the Apollo 17 mission in December of 1972. The
author of this essay is Francis G. Graham, Professor Emeritus of
Physics, Kent State University, and Founder of the American Lunar
Society. Earlier in his career, he was a Planetarium and Observatory
Lecturer at the original Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular
Science (a.k.a. Buhl Science Center), Pittsburgh's science and
technology museum from 1939 to 1991.
KOKH’S QUESTION: After 50 Years, Why No Lunar Settlements ?
By Francis G. Graham, Professor
Emeritus of Physics, Kent State University
and Founder of the American
Lunar Society
Reporting for Spacewatchtower
In
the middle of the last century, not yet three fourths complete, human
beings did an amazing thing.
They
built several large chemical rockets and made a few trips to the Moon
and back. The rocket type was the “Saturn V”, which had nothing
to do with Saturn; it was a monster of a rocket, of which the
preceding rockets were small by comparison. Yet this 360-foot-tall
rocket and its associated technology was the minimum
needed to
accomplish the task with one rocket flight.
But
since then, there have been no manned flights to the Moon. There have
been no lunar settlements. To the bafflement of 1950’s science
fiction writers, humans went to the Moon, and then stopped going
there, or even anywhere else except Earth orbit. Prior to the 1960’s,
except in the circles of such science fiction writers, talk of going
to the Moon was crazy. So it was again in the 1990’s.
Which
brings us to Kokh’s Question, named after Peter Kokh, an ardent
lunar exploration activist, and founder of the Artemis Society.
.
The
question is:“If lunar exploration began in the 1960s, why aren’t
there lunar settlements now?”
