The Pen That Saved Apollo 11 From Being A Permanent Moon Tomb. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin returned to the lunar module after their historic moonwalk, they realized they had a catastrophic problem. While maneuvering inside the cramped cabin in his bulky spacesuit, Aldrin's life-support backpack had accidentally smashed into the wall. The impact completely snapped off the vital circuit breaker switch needed to arm the ascent engine. Without that specific switch, the engine could not ignite, meaning the two astronauts would be permanently stranded on the lunar surface with no hope of a rescue mission. With only hours of oxygen remaining and Houston control scrambling for a workaround, the situation seemed entirely hopeless. The engineers on Earth frantically tried to find a way to bypass the electrical system, but time was rapidly running out. Exhausted and facing the very real possibility of dying 240,000 miles from home, Aldrin decided to take matters into his own hands. He began looking around the cabin for anything that could safely fit into the broken circuit breaker hole without conducting electricity and sparking a fatal fire in the oxygen-rich environment. Aldrin reached into his shoulder pocket and pulled out a standard-issue felt-tip marker. Because the pen's casing was made of plastic, it would not short out the electrical contacts. He carefully jammed the end of the marker into the broken switch hole and pushed. The circuit closed, the engine armed, and the lunar module successfully blasted off the moon's surface to reunite with Michael Collins in orbit. It turns out the greatest technological achievement in human history was ultimately saved by a piece of office stationery.

What's the most profoundly beautiful piece of music you have ever listened to?

Yesterday I enjoyed being back at FameLab Academy run by @cheltfestivals where it’s a privilege to be a judge. Year 9 pupils from local schools talking for 3 mins on a science topic of their choice. It was also a joy to be with fellow judge @AdamHartScience and host @JamieBGall

@Bufftontuffton3 Actually no Buffs... You really need to some basic homework on the Bills that have been tried and failed. I cant be arsed to teach you about it but I'm sure with your new found reading skills it wont take you long.

@AdamHartScience Tory MPs

Good to see Namibia standing up and saying out loud what many think - other nations may well follow observer24.com.na/namibia-refuse…

@Bufftontuffton3 You seem a little confused about how legislation works. And I've spent much more time talking with MPs than members of the lords

@AdamHartScience "Unelected" legislator, you forgot the unelected bit. You comfortable with people making laws because distant relatives stole areas of land?

@Bufftontuffton3 He is still a Lord Buffs. And yes, when legislators want advice on subjects it is very usual for them to call upon experts. I imagine both her and I will continue to visit the commons and the lords all.the time people try to advance laws that will harm conservation.

@AdamHartScience Ex lord Mancroft, will Amy still visit 🤣🤑

@Bufftontuffton3 You could read mine Buffs... Where the topic is covered 🤣

@AdamHartScience Adam it's not a subject that the untrained mind can just jump into, I strongly suggest you read ANY books on the psychological reasons for trophy hunting or trophy hunting by proxy, it's a fascinating subject. I realise I have a head start, but look forward to your comments.

@Bufftontuffton3 So that'll be another example of you not reading the link and not understanding it if you did. You are a funny little chap Buffs. But you're still game for a bit of baiting so fair play to you.

@AdamHartScience Your Pro trophy hunting stance does not bother me so much now I understand it's psychologically beyond your control, you were right about reading more though and I've switched tactics as trophy hunting is not a conscious decision but a pre-programmed mentality uncurable disorder

@Bufftontuffton3 You're going to need to explain how a minister of state's speech is client journalism...? Or maybe you dont understand the term. After all, you like Geoff's book

@AdamHartScience The only people that agree with this are trophy Hunters, this is client journalism for the trophy hunting industry

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @millmountgirl @BornFreeFDN "Raze"

@DavidArnol88243 @millmountgirl @BornFreeFDN It might impress you, I've seen some of the wanker prime ministers that its turned out, I personally would raise it to the ground along with Eton

🚨South Africa has drafted plans to reintroduce trophy hunting quotas for elephants, leopards & black rhinos for the first time in six years. With no clear evidence these quotas won’t seriously harm wild populations, we’re urging action. 👉 Learn more: bit.ly/4rtxxmI

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Right... That is kind of lame even for you.

@AdamHartScience @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian There are no links, it's a psychological profile, By proxy means you project your wishes onto a third party who carry out your desires

Cecil: The Lion and the Dentist review – inside the horrific big cat killing that outraged the world ⁦@guardian⁩ Trophy Hunting is wicked & devastating. It provides cruel short-lived thrills for the worst of humankind theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Fab - let's see these links Buffs! Who is paying me...Come on! Show me the money!

@AdamHartScience @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian I have, it's called trophy hunting by proxy file

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Exavtly. I also avoid that. There is some utter drivel from both sides. I think you mihht be starting to get it. Please do find anything I've done, ever, that has been funded or sponsored by a hunting group. I am sure you must have a huge file - maybe next to your moon nonsense?

@AdamHartScience @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Or read client research from the trophy hunting industry

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Or... realise that the research method is compromised and read things that arent essentially sponsored by anti hunting organisations... 🤔

@AdamHartScience @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian If you're going to read something you should read it properly

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Again Buffs...i have read chunks of it and indeed provide commentary in my own book. I am glad you're fan boying Geoff though. It is sweet to see you moving on

@AdamHartScience @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian And I could send you a copy of Geoff Beatty's book, "the psychology of trophy hunting" you haven't read it I understand.

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Yes - although around 11 hours later rather than the days you mentioned before. You can read more about the clear ethical issues of this case in an upcoming book - hopefully out before the end of year. I can email you a copy

@AdamHartScience @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian Handy in cecils case because he had to be killed the next day after the initial wounding, bow Hunters eh

@Bufftontuffton3 @DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian They can, but they don't because it would be pointless and would mean battery changes and therefore unethical sedation. They typically transmit twice a day - sometimes more but very rarely.

@DavidArnol88243 @philip_ciwf @guardian They do, but as your an animal abuse account your going to say that

Wow...slowest of slow news days 🤣 Common bird seen in favourable habitat for it. herefordtimes.com/news/25856054.…
