Check out this interesting bit of history! On November 14, 1969, during the launch of Apollo 12, the Saturn V rocket flew right through a developing thunderstorm — and it actually triggered two lightning strikes as it climbed into the atmosphere. ⚡🚀 The strikes caused electrical issues inside the capsule, and for a moment the mission was on the verge of being aborted. That’s when a flight controller famously called out, “Switch SCE to AUX.” In a sea of switches, one astronaut knew exactly where

NASA had several flybys before Mariner 9. Those flybys showed that Mars had a cratered surface, so some scientists thought that Mars looked just like the moon. Then Mariner 9 blew their minds. When Mariner 9 got to Mars, it arrived in the middle of a dust storm. It saw some tall structures sticking

On July 21, 1961, NASA astronaut Virgil “Gus” Grissom became the second American in space when he piloted the Mercury capsule Liberty Bell 7. After a successful suborbital flight and splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean, a prematurely jettisoned hatch caused the capsule to flood and unexpectedly sink, disappearing nearly three miles below the surface. Grissom was rescued (and was later recovered by Intrepid after his Gemini III mission in 1965), but for decades, Liberty Bell 7 remained one of Americ
