ʻO wai ka mea e lele i ka lewa a he kanaka paha
ʻAʻole anei i hoʻouna ʻia nā pailaka i ka mahina? wahi a prof. ʻO David A. Mindell (1) o ka Massachusetts Institute of Technology i kahi nīnauele i hāʻawi ʻia i ka makasina Politics ma ka XNUMXth anniversary o ka pae ʻana i ka mahina.
He paio paha ia o ʻelua kaiapuni a i ʻole moʻomeheu i loko o NASA? Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mindell? nā pailaka hoʻāʻo, i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia i ka Society of Experimental Test Pilots, a me nā ʻenekinia i pili mua me ka ʻoihana rocket. ʻO ka mea mua, no nā kumu maopopo, makemake i ke komo nui loa o nā pailaka i nā huakaʻi lewa. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole i ʻike kahi kaiapuni i kahi no ke kanaka ma ke poʻo o kahi moku ākea. (?)
ʻO ka hoʻomaka hōʻailona o kēia hakakā ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo a Wernher von Braun, he ʻenekinia Nazi a me ka hui pū ʻana o ka rocket V-2, nāna i hana no ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma hope o ke kaua. Ma 1959, ua hana ʻo ia i kahi hōʻike ma ka ʻaha kūkā o ka Society of Experimental Pilots, kahi āna i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ai ʻo ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka lewa a me ka ʻenehana rocket e alakaʻi maoli i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā pailaka. ʻAʻole pono e ʻōlelo, ua loaʻa i nā pailaka me ke anuanu. (?)
ʻO nā papahana lewa mua? X-15 mokulele lele, Gemini a me Mercury? ua maʻalahi loa lākou, a ua kaupalena ʻia ke kuleana o nā pailaka. Ua like ʻo Apollo. Ua hōʻike ʻia kēia e ke kauoha mua e hoʻomākaukau ai no ka lele ʻana i ka mahina? he ʻaelike ia e kūkulu i ka lolouila ma luna o ka papa!?
E ʻike ʻoe i ka hoʻomau o ka ʻatikala ma ka pukana o Mei o ka makasina
e hoomaka ana me .
