ASTRONAUTS

by Janet Spencer On March 16, 1966, Neil Armstrong and David Scott launched into orbit in Gemini 8. The space flight was the first instance of a catastrophic failure nearly claiming the lives of the astronauts. Come along with Tidbits as we ride along with astronauts! NEAR CATASTROPHE Neil Armstrong and David Scott were orbiting in Gemini 8. Their mission was to dock with a craft already orbiting. After completing the first space docking in history, a short circuit set off a rocket booster, sending the Gemini 8 into an uncontrollable spin, at one revolution per minute. They worked to stabilize the craft. Armstrong struggled to regain control by using the retro rockets, wasting precious re-entry fuel. Fearing an explosion, Ground Control immediately ordered an emergency splashdown. Would our astronauts survive? ABC interrupted a new TV show to give a bulletin. The interrupted TV show was a campy TV version of a popular comic book hero, who fought crime by employing intellect and detective skills combined with science and technology. A thousand angry calls flooded operators complaining of the interruption and insisting that the channel be returned to the regularly scheduled program. What was the spellbinding action and adventure show that viewers couldn’t stand to miss? Answer on next page.

ANOTHER BAD DAY IN SPACE

• The ill-fated Apollo 13 mission was supposed to be the third landing of a man on the moon. Instead, it turned into a hair-raising ordeal when an oxygen tank in the service module exploded due to faulty wiring only 56 hours after launch. The lunar landing was cancelled as the astronauts swung around the moon and headed back to earth. Their damaged command module was abandoned and all three astronauts crowded into the lunar module Aquarius as a lifeboat for the four-day return trip home. • The lunar module was intended for use on the moon and was outfitted to support two people for two days, and now it had to support three people for four days. Much jury-rigging was done in order to accomplish the safe return to earth, as much of the world watched the ordeal unfold on TV. • The crew was extremely lucky that the emergency occurred when they were still on the first leg of their journey to the moon and still had enough supplies, equipment, and power to get them home again. If it had happened on their return journey, especially after the lunar module had already been left behind, it is likely that they would have died. • Against all odds, the astronauts returned home in good condition except for exhaustion and dehydration, and one of them had a urinary tract infection from the lack of water. • Superstitious people point out that the mission was, after all, Apollo 13, that the mission blasted off at 13:13 military time, and that the accident happened on April 13, 1970.

The most famous line that came out of the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission is, “Houston, we have a problem.” However, the actual quote was, “Okay, Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” which was uttered by Pilot Jack Swigert to Ground Control. Commander James Lovell then echoed: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” None of the three men aboard the Apollo 13 ever went into space again.

A CORRECTION

On January 13, 1920, the New York Times ridiculed Professor Robert Goddard, who pioneered rocket science, because they felt a rocket could never fly in the vacuum of outer space. “He seems only to lack the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools,” said the article. Nearly 50 years later, as Apollo 11 zoomed towards the moon, the paper printed a retraction: “It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The Times regrets the error.”

ASTRONAUT FACTS

• The most expensive colds in history occurred on Feb. 27, 1969, on the night before a flight to orbit earth. All three of the Apollo 9 crew came down with colds, and NASA postponed the launch at a cost of $500,000. This was the first time that illness, rather than weather or technicalities, caused a delay. The three men recovered in a week and the launch went up. • Astronauts on their way to the moon 238,857 miles away travelled at a peak of 24,679 mph. The distance can be traversed in 60 to 70 hours. If you were to drive to the moon in your car at 70 mph it would take you 135 days to get there. Today an astronaut can reach the moon in less time than it took a stagecoach to travel the length of Great Britain.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Changing the “Why” to “How”

Life is a roller coaster of ups and downs. Every valley and every mountain top has a lesson, if I am teachable. I am accepting when it comes to my own difficulties. But when it is others’ pain I have a tendency to swim in the “WHY,” which leads to anger, frustration, depression, anxieties, etc…. I lose sleep, weight, hair, desire, hope, passion, patience, perseverance, and purpose. I build a case against God and against others. Why them and not someone else? Why them and not me? So for me to survive in someone else’s pain along with my own I have to switch to “How” rather than “Why.” How can I love God more in this situation? I need to swim in the “How” to love Him more despite the horrible circumstances. Here are a few tools: 1) Accept “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42 2) Be Free “Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. Psalm 118:5” 3) Be in Peace “Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14.27

A bookie in London named David Thelfall bet $24 in 1964 that a man would walk on the moon by 1971. The odds were 1,000 to 1. When the lunar module landed, he was awarded a check for $24,000 on national TV.

ASTRONAUT FACTS cont’d

• News commentator Walter Cronkite was generally never at a loss for words. The one time in his career when he could think up not a single comment was during the first moon landing when he was overwhelmed. “I just went blank,” Cronkite explained. • Astronaut Alfred Worden of the Apollo 15 mission stayed on board the command module while David Scott and James Irwin explored the surface of the moon in 1971. As he orbited the moon, he was 2,234 miles away from his fellow astronauts, and nearly a quarter million miles away from Earth. This guaranteed him a spot in the Book of World Records for being the most isolated human being in history. • Each Apollo space suit was made of over 1,000 individual parts and cost around $100,000 in 1968 dollars. The space suits worn by astronauts on the moon landings weighed 180 lbs. on earth, but only 30 lbs. on the moon, which has one-sixth the gravity. Because the moon suits were bulky, astronauts found it easier to hop than to walk. • Moon-walker James Irwin of Apollo 15 left his moon jacket on the moon in order to lighten the load on the return trip home. However, he cut out and kept the fabric NASA name tag before abandoning the suit. The six-inch by twelve-inch name tag, dirty and embedded with moon dust from Irwin’s three moon walks, later sold at auction for $310,500. • The maiden name of Buzz Aldrin’s mom was Moon.

The moon is the fifth largest moon in the solar system. Its surface has about the same area as Africa. If it were placed on the surface of the U.S., it would reach from San Francisco to Cleveland. The moon’s diameter is 2,160 miles. Flying once around the moon is equal to a round trip from New York to London. If the earth were the size of a fist, the moon would be the size of a postage stamp placed ten feet away.

December 22– January 19 Alarms go off. Trust your instincts, Capricorn. Not everyone has your best interest at heart. There is more involved in an offer at work than it seems.

January 20– February 18

Slow down, Aquarius. You’ve been taking on more than your fair share for far too long. Pull back and take time out to smell the roses. A loved one shares a secret.

February 19– March 20

Money may be tight, but creativity is not. There is a lot to do for little. Think outside of the box, Pisces, and keep your plans on track.

March 21– April 19

Run, Aries, run. If something seems off, it probably is. A change in scenery helps an old friend heal. Invite them over for a little celebration.

April 20– May 20

Yikes, Taurus. You played a little too hard, and it almost cost you. Time to switch tactics and take a gentler approach. You won’t believe what transpires.

May 21– June 21 Love blossoms in spite of the odds, and you make it all happen, Gemini. Give yourself a pat on the back. The bidding begins for a cherished piece.

June 22– July 22

Warmer temperatures lead to a little spring cleaning and the end of a mystery. Stash what you uncover in a safe place, Cancer. A diva makes far too many demands.

July 23– August 22 Boredom sets in at home, and it’s up to you, Leo, to rev things up. Turn your attention outside for ideas. A analysis concludes and the results are incredible.

August 23– September 22 Perfection does not exist, so why are you insisting on it, Virgo? Focus on all that has been done well rather than the bit that hasn’t, and progress will be made.

September 23– October 22

Remember, Libra. What goes around comes around. Be careful how you proceed. A friend suffers a financial setback, but it is only temporary.

October 23– November 21

Alas, Scorpio. You held out hope to the very end, but it wasn’t meant to be. Don’t worry about it. Another opportunity will arise. A romance heats up.

November 22– December 21

Uh-oh, Sagittarius. The truth finally comes out, and not everyone is pleased. You can’t make everyone happy, now can you? A book inspires.

• Of all the little kids who say they want to be an astronaut when they grow up, Chris Hadfield was one of the few who did so, becoming the first Canadian to walk in space. • Born in Sarnia, Ontario, in 1959, he was nine years old during the first moon walk, which inspired him to become an astronaut. • After attending school in Oakville and Milton, Hadfield joined the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, earning his glider pilot scholarship at the age of 15, followed by a powered pilot’s scholarship at the age of 16. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces where he earned a degree in engineering. • Next he began training as a tactical fighter pilot and then began flying intercept missions for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). He once intercepted a Soviet long-range bomber in the Arctic. • Hadfield also became a test pilot. He has flown over 70 different types of aircraft. • In 1992, he was accepted into the Canadian astronaut program, where he became the first Canadian ever to board the Russian Mir space station. In 2001, he became the first Canadian to walk in space when he visited the International Space Station and helped install a robotic arm called the Canadarm2. • The Canadian Space Agency assigned him to a position at NASA in Houston, where he served as Chief of Robotics, followed by a position as Chief of International Space Station Operations. He also served as the voice of Mission Control for 25 different space shuttle missions. • In 2010 he spent 14 days living underwater in the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations lab (NEEMO 14) which is located 62 feet under the surface of the ocean off the coast of Florida. • NASA announced that Hadfield would become the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station, leading a crew of five. He launched on December 19, 2012, and arrived at the ISS on December 21, where he remained for the next five months. • Hadfield achieved fame by becoming “perhaps the most social media savvy astronaut ever to leave Earth,” as described by Forbes magazine. With the help of his tech-savvy sons, he built a Twitter following of over a million fans, as well as a blog on Tumblr and a Facebook page. He delighted his fans with postings of many experiments in space as well as a chronicle of daily life. His interactions with Star Trek actors received wide media coverage. • Hadfield, who arrived at the space station on Dec. 21, became the first person to record music in space when he recorded a song written by his brother on Dec. 23 and posted it online on Christmas Eve via YouTube and Twitter. The guitar he played in the song had previously been brought to the space station by another astronaut. He recorded more songs, using satellite links to perform with Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies and the Chieftains for Music Mondays. Just before returning to Earth, he recorded a version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” which led some people to speculate on the legal issues surrounding recording a copyrighted song while in orbit, as no one is sure how far from the surface of Earth a copyright extends. • After returning to earth, Hadfield announced his retirement, having spent 25 years in service to the Canadian Space Agency. He was eager to move back to Canada after spending nearly 30 years living in the U.S., stating that he was making good on a promise he made to his high school sweetheart wife that they would eventually move back home.

ARMALCOLITE

Many people complain about the cost of the space program, saying we should be spending the money on home improvements instead. How much exactly are we spending on our space program? The cost of the Apollo program was about $40 billion, spread over a decade. That averaged out to about $20 per American. During the same decade, the average American spent $80 a year on cigarettes and $50 a year on beer.

Risks of Leaving a Nursing Home

Leaving a nursing home to go into home/ community care has to be a great feeling. But a study done at the University of Minnesota shows that medically, it might not be the wisest move. Researchers looked at whether there were any differences in the rate of re-hospitalizations between Medicaid nursing home and Medicaid home/ community care. Yes, there were, and the numbers are dramatic. The study compared patients over age 65 who stayed in a nursing home at least 90 days before going into home/ community care with those who had a nursing-home stay of at least 90 days and then stayed in the nursing home. Leaving a nursing home increased the possibility of having a preventable re-hospitalization by 40 percent. The Money Follows the Person program seems to be at the root of this. The MFP helps states with the costs of longterm care support with an emphasis on reducing the use of nursing homes and other medical institutions. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 has funded it through 2016 to the tune of $450 million for each year. While it’s all well and good that the goal of some states is to use diversion programs to move patients out of nursing homes, it’s not necessarily good for the patient ... or the financial bottom line if the patient ends up in the hospital. Consider the differences: Nursing homes and hospitals have medical care 24 hours a day as they work with doctors and perform required assessments. Home/community workers have less medical background (if any), no doctors are necessarily involved and no assessments are required. The study offered this conclusion: If patients are to be sent out to home/ community, they need long-term care, medical providers and a care plan at the time they go.

• Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below: arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834. • The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine. Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta

Prune Trees Before Spring Buds Appear Q: I’d like to trim back some of the branches on trees around my property before the growing season starts, but my wife argues that I should hire a tree service. What’s your take? -- Jim in New Hampshire

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was celebrated Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky who made the following sage observation: “Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It’s by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I’m human.” ● The name of the islands of Hawaii is thought to come from a word in an early Polynesian language meaning “place of the gods.” ● You might be surprised to learn that before novelist Salman Rushdie wrote “The Satanic Verses” and had a fatwa issued against him by the Supreme Leader of Iran, he worked in advertising, coming up with slogans for candy companies. ● If you’re like the average woman, you will kiss 15 men, go on four disastrous dates, be stood up once and suffer heartbreak twice before you meet the man you want to settle down with.

A: Late winter is a good time to prune back non-flowering trees, once the coldest part of the season is past. It typically results in a burst of new growth once spring roars in. However, if the tree is already showing buds, hold off on the project until after the leaves are fully open. Homeowners also can prune at the end of summer -- it’s a good time to cut back branches that are hanging down too far under the weight of their leaves, for example. In either case, safety is paramount when it comes to pruning trees. Not only is working from a height a consideration, but surrounding power lines and other hazards can present extreme danger. If the branches involved are near the ground, not close to power lines or hanging over structures, and you have the proper tools to trim the branches along with a helper or three, then go ahead. A number of resources are available online. If the trees are very tall, if the branches involved overhang structures or wires, or if the branches are too large to safely remove with the tools at hand, don’t do it yourself. Contact a tree service or arborist to come out and do an estimate of the time and cost involved in the project. In either case, pruning trees will help keep them healthy and will keep your house and yard safer from falling debris. Trees will weather storms better and develop a more varied branch system. So it’s worth the effort and cost of taking care of them regularly, both on your own or with a professional tree service. HOME TIP: Always get estimates from more than one tree-trimming service, and don’t allow work to begin until you’ve agreed to it in writing. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com.

My sister Darlene has the courage—but not always the skills—to tackle any home-repair project. For example, in her garage are pieces of a lawn mower she once tried to fix. So I wasn’t surprised the day my other sister, Jesse, and I found Darlene attacking her vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver. "I can’t get this thing to cooperate," she explained. "Why don’t you drag it out to the garage and show it the lawn mower?" Jesse suggested.

● My family’s spring-cleaning checklist is in full effect. Some people dread seasonal chores, but I relish the sense of accomplishment that comes from a job well done. With the right planning, and some helpful tips, spring cleaning can be a breeze. Here are some of the best we have to share. -- JoAnn ● “Stainless steel appliances are very popular, and in the kitchen, they get plenty of chances to get fingerprinted up. My appliance guy recommended using a light-mist, wax-based aerosol dusting spray once or twice a week to keep my stainless steel appliance fronts looking their best.” -- R.C. in North Carolina

“We Gotcha Covered”

VACUUM

● “In the closet, we all want to pare away unused items, but sometimes it seems like you wear clothes that you don’t. Turn all the clothes hangers the opposite way (facing out instead of in). When you use an item and it is returned to the closet, replace the hanger normally. In a few months, if an item has not been worn, it will be apparent. If it’s not likely to be worn, it should go. ● Spring is a wonderful time to clean the walls inside your house. It clears away hidden dust and really freshens a room. Clean painted walls by dusting them first with a dry mop, then washing with a rag dampened in water. If you need a little extra oomph -- say, in the kitchen or bath -- add a couple drops of mild dish soap. ● New drapes or even new pillow covers in a fabulous pattern can really jazz up a room. Consider switching smaller furniture accents between common rooms or a fresh furniture arrangement to change it up. ● Keep a bottle of club soda handy for spot stains on carpets or upholstery. It’s good for more than just drinks.
