Apollo 11 Splashdown<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Apollo 11 crew splashed down 210 nautical miles south of Johnston Atoll.  The astronauts actually splashed down 215 nautical miles northeast of their original landing site.  This was due to a brave young Air Force captain, Hank Brandi, who noted a strong storm and winds bearing down on the intended landing site. Brandi feared that the parachutes floating the astronauts down would be ripped to shreds.  This would cause a terrible crash of the capsule.  Brandi had made the forecast based on top secret satellite images.  He decided to act which led to a change of events culminating in the safe return of the three astronauts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a fear of contamination by germs from the\nmoon. Therefore, the astronauts donned biological isolation garments (BIGs)\nwhile still in the capsule.  They were\nwinched to a Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King helicopter for the ride back to the USS\nHornet, which was about 10 miles away.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three immediately walked into the Mobile\nQuarantine Faculty (MQF) where they spend the next 21 days.  President Nixon greeted them on the\nHornet.  The USS Hornet sailed to Pearl Harbor.  At this point the MQF was put on a Lockheed\nC-141 Starlifter and flown to Houston.  Once they arrived at the Manned Space Center\nthey were taken to an area known as the Lunar Receiving Laboratory.  The date was July 28, four days after the\nsplashdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Love a Parade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The astronauts were cleared out of the MQF just before\nAugust 13, 1969.  They immediately went\nto New York City where they were treated to a ticker tape parade in the Canyon\nof Heroes.  Six million people came to\nwatch.  What a day it was, the evening\nconsisted of state dinner with President Nixon, members of Congress, 44\nGovernors and the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court in Los\nAngeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Wind Tour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On September 29, 1969 the astronauts and their wives (as\nwell as a few NASA officials) started a round the world tour.  They met Queen Elizabeth as well as many\nworld leaders.  All told, they visited 22\ncountries in 38 days.  They flew in style\nin the back up Air Force 1 aircraft.  The\nastronauts were arguable the best-known humans on earth that Fall.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
