As part of the coverage by the American Broadcasting Network (ABC) of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, a panel of science fiction writers led by Rod Serling and including Isaac Asimov, Frederik Pohl, and John R. Pierce discuss the accuracy of their own lunar landing predictions. Asimov muses on science fiction topics “beyond the moon.” From the ABC News compilation: Apollo 11: As it Happened.
The new John Glenn Astronomy Park opens Thursday June 21 at 6:30 pm with events going on until 12 am. They are located at : The John Glenn Astronomy Park 20531 OH-664, 43138, or around 3 to 3.5 hours from Cleveland.

The John Glenn Astronomy Park will be conducting its official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on the evening of the Summer Solstice. Please join us to celebrate our opening!
If the skies are clear, we will watch the sun set through the summer solstice gap in our Plaza. We will then turn our telescopes towards the moon and Jupiter, which will be high in the southern sky that night.
All weekend, June 22 and 23rd, there will be opening activities without all the ribbon cutting and speechmaking.

Conceived as the first Soviet space probe, Object D was bumped by the less ambitious Sputnik in a bid to beat the Americans. It worked. They won. Object D finally flew as Sputnik 3 on May 15, 1958.
The Object D was conceived as a multi-functional science laboratory with an ambitious array of instruments onboard. It was expected to measure the density and ion composition of the Earth’s atmosphere and its magnetic field, and to study solar radiation and cosmic rays. The first satellite also promised a wealth of engineering data, which could later help in the development of attitude- and thermal control systems for future spacecraft, as well as information on the interaction of satellites with the upper atmosphere.
