Introduction:

• Names and where we’re from/work
  • Our team wanted to combine art, programming and education to help excite and educate the public about returning to the moon. We combined 1 college student, 2 programmers, and 1 STEM coordinator to do just that.
• For our project we chose to work on the “Art side of the Moon”. The art side of the moon is about using art to show people that returning to the moon is going to be beneficial. We wanted to achieve this by creating a website that is interactive for the user, while incorporating data, art, images, and sound.

SHOW WEBSITE

• Demonstrate website
  • Our website could be used in classrooms or even looked at by curious minds.
• Our creation could change the way people feel about going back to the moon. We want to continue educating and exciting the public about going back to the moon. Our aspirations are to further update our website, add more hand drawn art, and have it reach as many people as possible.

The story reads (audio files ready to capture are plain - clips to record are in BOLD - find audio file for Armstrong interview are in italics), but it's too late in the evening for me to re-format - I have it on a google doc:

NASA is committed to landing American astronauts, including the first woman, on the Moon by 2024 through the agency’s Artemis lunar exploration program. We know Living in space is not the same as living on Earth. In space, astronauts' bodies change. And it seems really ambitious, but .it took only one generation to go from a solo flight across the Atlantic to Apollo’s lunar landing. Can you imagine it? buying tickets to go visit the moon! When I think about the moon, I do think of optimism. This is gonna be a normal thing from now on....seeing an astronaut bouncing across the moonscape makes you believe the Moon is the land of opportunity where anything is achievable. Exploration means having the courage to expand our knowledge. Knowledge that is more than words. you can take a picture of the Grand Canyon, and it's not the same as standing on the rim and looking down there……... A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there. To get to the Moon originally took .designers, engineers, mathematicians, mechanics, computer programmers, rocket scientists, seamstresses, flight directors and mission controllers...when the first people landed on the moon..we were Earthlings, all of us at the same time, the whole world stopped, ….this wonderfully unifying moment….we’ll reach the moon again & it will be awesome….

Use these phrases, but in what order?

Record These

• Living in space is not the same as living on Earth. In space, astronauts' bodies change.

Maybe these can be cut from the audio of Armstrong & interviewers?

• It would encourage people to look at our world with somewhat more curiosity and perhaps approval than they had before. It did change our world. It absolutely changed our country's view of what was happening, the potential of space. .....ARMSTRONG: It can be done. That was an eye-opener
• there wasn't anybody that had done this and could tell us how to do it, because nobody had the experience.
• You can see these pictures [points to book The Infinite Journey: Eyewitness Accounts of NASA and the Age of Space by William E. Burrows] and kind of get an idea, but you can take a picture of the Grand Canyon, too, and it's not the same as standing on the rim and looking down there. I think it's the same here. A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.

1. Exploration means having the courage to expand our knowledge… .it could have been me….we’ll reach the moon again & it will be awesome….
2. It seemed as if the universe had just opened like a flower in bloom
3. When I think about the moon, I do think of optimism...of an expanded horizon for humanity. There’s excitement in the unknown… how we did it as a human race- this wonderfully unifying moment.
4. …..They were buying tickets to go visit the moon….All of us - all the young kids, we stood up because it almost seemed like too disrespectful to be sitting down at that moment
5. I was 5 years old…..seeing an astronaut bouncing across the moonscape….I imitated the moon bouncing by jumping up and down in the bathtub
6. ….Just in time to see what was going on…..I have to confess that at my age I was impressed to have a tv as I was to see men landing on the moon
7. … you know when you are young, anything is possible…. I am so proud we were able to do that
8. The experience showcased for me what a remarkable country the United States was and solidified it’s status in my mind as the land of opportunity where anything is achievable
9. ….a strong bond with the moon
10. We stared at the moon envisioning what was happening above us….it took only one generation to go from a solo flight across the Atlantic to Apollo’s lunar landing
11. …. This is gonna be a normal thing from now on….began to understand the innovation that had to occur for something like Apollo to happen in 10 years…..designers, engineers, mathematicians, mechanics, computer programmers, rocket scientists, seamstresses, flight directors and mission controllers…..maybe it will be a normal thing from now on
12. ….we had the entire neighborhood in our house for the moonwalk…..at that moment, we weren’t Americans, we weren’t Russians, we weren’t Chinese, we weren’t Canadians, we weren’t Middle Easterners, we were Earthlings, all of us at the same time, the whole world stopped,

Some of the story should look back, but also look forward..... here are some sound files to edit into our moon story.

Data and Music: What 50 Years of Exploring Our Moon Sounds Like

Story excerpts:

• Living in space is not the same as living on Earth. In space, astronauts' bodies change. On Earth, our lower body and legs carry our weight. This helps keep our bones and muscles strong. In space, astronauts float. They do not use their legs much. Their lower backs begin to lose strength. Their leg muscles do too. The bones begin to get weak and thin. This is very bad for astronauts' bodies. So, how do astronauts help their muscles and bones? They must exercise in space every day. The heart and blood change in space, too. When we stand up on Earth, blood goes to our legs. The heart has to work extra hard against gravity to move the blood all around the body. In space, without the pull of gravity, the blood moves to the upper body and head. Water in the body also does the same thing. It makes the astronauts' faces look puffy. The blood and water are fluids in the body. These fluids move from the bottom of the body to the top. The brain thinks that there are too many fluids. It will tell the body to make less. When the astronauts come back to Earth, they do not have enough fluids in their systems. It takes their bodies a few days to make more blood and water. The astronauts have to rest so their bodies have time to make new blood and water. If they don't, they can feel very weak. They might even faint! https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/home/F_Living_in_Space.html
• BRINKLEY: With Sputnik, do you recall where you were when you heard about that? ...... AMBROSE: And your own reaction to Sputnik? Curiosity or more than that? Or "God almighty" orwhat? ARMSTRONG: I don't remember exactly what my reactions were at the time, too much colored byintervening events. But I guess it was disappointing that a country who was the "evil empire" in ourminds at that time would be beating us in technology, where we thought we were preeminent. Atthe same time, it was encouraging, because it demonstrated the kinds of things that we wereinterested in really might be achievable and perhaps it would encourage people to look at our worldwith somewhat more curiosity and perhaps approval than they had before.It did change our world. It absolutely changed our country's view of what was happening,the potential of space. .....ARMSTRONG: It can be done. That was an eye-opener, I think, to a lot of people [and to Killian].Maybe there was substantial interest in, "Well, maybe we can get people up into space." That wasinstantaneous, that possibility .....BRINKLEY: How did your job now as an astronaut differ from being a test pilot what were the firstthings that you realized were going to be different for you? ARMSTRONG: Well, it was very different. There were some similarities in the sense that we wereplanning and we were trying to solve problems and devise approaches, but since we were trying todo an operational job, we were extremely focused. A research project tends to be more broad,generic, cover a range so that you have indications as to which might be the best path.19 September 2001 42Johnson Space Center Oral History Project Neil A. ArmstrongThe Apollo and Gemini programs—Mercury I really wasn't involved in the early parts ofthat, but in the germination of Gemini and Apollo, we were looking for not a range of stuff, but thebest method that we could find that would give us ability to go at the earliest possible time,maximum speed, and with the highest level of confidence. Quite a different responsibility, yet theskills, the engineering approaches and the equipment available to us was really quite similar. BRINKLEY: I'm trying to picture training and simulation, which are all part of getting ready for asuccessful space flight. How did you help determine what should be simulated and how? Inretrospect, how realistic were these training sessions and simulations from what you ended upencountering?ARMSTRONG: I think training was about one-third of our time and effort. A third had to do withplanning, figuring out techniques and methods that would allow us to achieve the trajectories andthe sequence of events and the ways of picking from the available strategies the one that might workthe best. The last part was testing, and that's probably equal to thousands of hours in the labs and inthe spacecraft and running systems tests, all kinds of stuff, seeing whether it would work and gettingto know the systems very well.So the one-third that was training is training in a different sense than most people think oftraining, because, after all, there wasn't anybody that had done this and could tell us how to do it,because nobody had the experience. But they could tell us what they did know, and some becamesystems experts and would know the details of how the inertial guidance system or the computer orcertain kind of engine valves and so on would operate and how we might handle malfunctions. Sowe spent enormous amounts of time gleaning everything we could from the people who wereexperts in these particular smaller components of the spacecraft or the launch vehicle.We also spent a lot of time in simulations. Simulators have gotten better over the years at aprodigious rate. In my days at Edwards, we did a lot of simulations of flight characteristics and19 September 2001 43Johnson Space Center Oral History Project Neil A. Armstrongaircraft trajectories and things of that sort. We did them all with analog computers, because digitalcomputers were just far too slow to use for simulations.About the time of the early ‘60s, digital computers were getting faster and they were muchmore precise, slow but very precise. So then we started marrying analog and digital computers. Weused the digital to do the precise calculations, and used the analog part to do the actual aircraftresponse things, which had to be a lot faster.Then by the middle of the sixties, … computers were getting to be fast enough that youcould actually do simulations of aircraft flight motions with them. So because I worked a lot on thesimulations as collateral duty while I was here at Houston, I spent a lot of time evaluating theauthenticity and appropriateness of the simulation models that they were using. You'd usually findthat the simulator didn't behave properly like it should in some regions of life, so it was incumbenton us to uncover the problems that simulation had and try to make it as accurate as we could.There was some danger in that, because you might not be right about your conclusions aboutthe appropriateness of the simulation, but it was an important part of our function, and certainly theastronauts' crews weren't the only people doing that. Test pilots at Grumman [Aircraft EngineeringCorp.] and at North American [Aviation, Inc.] and McDonnell [Aircraft Corp.] also were doingsimilar kinds of things that contribute to that.The result was that in the late ‘60s our computer simulations were really quite excellent.They were quite adequate to do most all the things that we were doing. There's an old perceptionthat simulators are always more difficult to fly than the craft themselves. In general, that is true, andit's certainly turned out to be true in Apollo, particularly the lunar module [LM], which was to ourbenefit that it was easier to fly than the simulator, because we were expecting something that wassomewhat more cantankerous and contrary than it actually turned out to be. BRINKLEY: Well, I would think anything's worth it just to see Earth, just to see Earth from thatperspective for a pilot. That must have been something that's so awesome.ARMSTRONG: You can see these pictures [points to book The Infinite Journey: EyewitnessAccounts of NASA and the Age of Space by William E. Burrows] and kind of get an idea, but youcan take a picture of the Grand Canyon, too, and it's not the same as standing on the rim and lookingdown there. I think it's the same here. A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.19 September 2001 58Johnson Space Center Oral History Project Neil A. ArmstrongBRINKLEY: I can't imagine. [Laughter] At that moment, did a kind of calm come over you whenyou see Earth like that? Is it almost a religious experience?ARMSTRONG: I don't know how to answer that. It probably affects different people in differentways. It is spectacular, and I think everyone is touched by it when they have the experience, but Idon't know what goes on in other people's minds... . .....https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/62281main_armstrong_oralhistory.pdf

The idea is a choose your own adventure (photo 1). We focus first on the moon door which leads to the colony outposts (photo 2). The outpost information is taken from an activity by LPI (photos 3 & 4).
