I ALMOST FAILED

I Almost Failed

The most famous Apollo program is better known as Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong was one small step for one man, one giant leap for all mankind. But Apollo 12 had its moments. Each Apollo program had a specific purpose. Apollo 11 was intended to demonstrate that humans could walk on the moon. Apollo 12, on the other hand, was not just about demonstrating a moon landing; it was about landing precisely anywhere. During the Apollo 12 mission, the spacecraft was planned to land near an early NASA robotic spacecraft. The mission was successful and all astronauts returned to Earth. But the most remarkable part of this mission wasn't in space, it happened during the first few minutes of flight.

On the cloudy morning of November 14, 1969, the Saturn V spacecraft was preparing for launch at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. It was a huge rocket, about the size of a 40-story building. The crew consisted of Charles Conrad, Alan Bean and Richard Gordon, who had been intensively trained for this moment. They underwent a medical examination, boarded the ship, and performed an equipment inspection. Although it was cloudy, the race started without worrying about the rain 11 o'clock:

The countdown started at 10pm and the countdown started at 11am.

On the 23rd, the engine started. The ship rose slowly and made its way through the gray clouds towards its destination. At 33 seconds, Charles Conrad confirmed that the ship had risen and was picking up speed. But a crackling noise interrupted the communication. It was later determined that the ship had been struck by lightning at an altitude of 6,400 feet.

The first lightning strike caused no major problems, but the second lightning strike made things worse. At 52 seconds, another lightning strike triggered the ISS warning light. This indicated a problem with the inertial guidance system that helps determine the ship's position, speed and flight angle. Systems malfunctioned at altitudes above 14,000 feet, affecting telemetry and distorting data.

The crew and ground controllers tried to fix the problem, but the ship's electronics continued to malfunction. This error affected not only the inertial guidance system, but also the power distribution system, making it difficult to monitor fuel tanks and batteries. The higher the ship gained, the more uncertain the outcome of the mission. However, engineer John Aaron played a key role in saving the mission. While monitoring the ship's electrical and life support systems, he noticed a pattern of distorted data resembling previous equipment failures. He instructed one of the crew members, Alan Bean, to turn on the switch that would switch the power supply and restore the functionality of the device.

Despite subsequent difficulties during the mission, the crew landed the Saturn V on the Moon, collected soil samples, and returned safely to Earth. NASA then conducted five more missions to the Moon before canceling the Apollo program. The costs of these missions increased significantly during preparation, resulting in less public interest and NASA's focus shifting to projects such as Skylab and the International Space Station.

The Apollo program, including Apollo 12, played a pivotal role in human space exploration, yielding remarkable results and paving the way for future endeavors beyond Earth. In Life we all have the Opportunity to win and try over and over again and at the end we shall win, Because i believe we are born to win and reign in Life.

So no worries be calm and you shall sure win in this life. Believe Believe and believe and be fine in life
