From New
Orleans to New York, a train ride aboard the "Crescent" takes you on
an extraordinary journey through American history.
This train
journey begins in the "cradle of jazz" - New Orleans. Three famous
express trains start and terminate here: the City of New Orleans, the Sunset
Limited and the Crescent, named after a New Orleans neighborhood. Every morning
at 7 a.m. the Crescent sets off from New Orleans on its 1,377-mile journey from
the Deep South to pulsating New York City.
The distance
is covered in around 31 hours. The route takes in various famous cities on the
journey northeast. Birmingham, Alabama is also known as "Bombingham"
after the attacks launched there by the Ku Klux Klan during the civil rights
movement era between 1947 and 1965. The train then heads to Atlanta, the
largest city in Georgia. Charlotte in North Carolina was named nearly 250 years
ago after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the German wife of Britain’s King
George III. Our next stop is Washington D.C., capital of the United States
since 1800. Beforehand that honor had gone to a city further north:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Declaration of Independence was
proclaimed in 1776. The final stop on this unique train journey is New York
City aka the "Big Apple".

A note on
'Ivan the Terrible' - in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный' meaning
'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he known as Ivan 'the Terrible' in English?
Because he was evil or useless or because of anti-Russian bias? No, because
'Terrible' in English also means awesome or formidable - this was well
understood when 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English centuries ago, but
now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here:
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/terr...). The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been
known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

NASA OPENS MOON ROCK SAMPLES SEALED
SINCE APOLLO MISSIONS

QUICKTAKE: NOW

Inside a
locked vault at Johnson Space Center is treasure few have seen and fewer have
touched.
The
restricted lab is home to hundreds of pounds of moon rocks collected by Apollo
astronauts close to a half-century ago. And for the first time in decades, NASA
is about to open some of the pristine samples and let geologists take a crack
at them with 21st-century technology.
What better
way to mark this summer’s 50th anniversary of humanity’s first footsteps on the
moon than by sharing a bit of the lunar loot.
“It’s sort
of a coincidence that we’re opening them in the year of the anniversary,”
explained NASA’s Apollo sample curator Ryan Zeigler, covered head to toe in a
white protective suit with matching fabric boots, gloves and hat.
“But
certainly the anniversary increased the awareness and the fact that we’re going
back to the moon.”
With the
golden anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s feat fast approaching —
their lunar module Eagle landed July 20, 1969, on the Sea of Tranquility — the
moon is red-hot again.
After
decades of flip-flopping between the moon and Mars as the next big astronaut
destination, NASA aims to put astronauts on the lunar surface again by 2024 at
the White House’s direction. President Donald Trump prefers talking up Mars.
But the consensus is that the moon is a crucial proving ground given its
relative proximity to home — 240,000 miles (386,000 kilometers) or two to three
days away.
Zeigler’s
job is to preserve what the 12 moonwalkers brought back from 1969 through 1972
— lunar samples totaling 842 pounds (382 kilograms) — and ensure scientists get
the best possible samples for study.
Some of the
soil and bits of rock were vacuum-packed on the moon — and never exposed to
Earth’s atmosphere — or frozen or stored in gaseous helium following splashdown
and then left untouched. The lab’s staff is now trying to figure out how best
to remove the samples from their tubes and other containers without
contaminating or spoiling anything. They’re practicing with mock-up equipment
and pretend lunar dirt.
Compared
with Apollo-era tech, today’s science instruments are much more sensitive,
Zeigler noted.
“We can do
more with a milligram than we could do with a gram back then. So it was really
good planning on their part to wait,” he said.
The lunar
sample lab has two side-by-side vaults: one for rocks still in
straight-from-the-moon condition and a smaller vault for samples previously
loaned out for study. About 70 percent of the original haul is in the pristine
sample vault, which has two combinations and takes two people to unlock. About
15 percent is in safekeeping at White Sands in New Mexico. The rest is used for
research or display.
Of the six
manned moon landings, Apollo 11 yielded the fewest lunar samples: 48 pounds or
22 kilograms. It was the first landing by astronauts and NASA wanted to
minimize their on-the-moon time and risk. What’s left from this mission — about
three-quarters after scientific study, public displays and goodwill gifts to
all countries and U.S. states in 1969 — is kept mostly here at room
temperature.

For the
curious minded:
-Not every
Apollo mission happened exactly like this (for example the exact times for
stage separation were different).
-The day of
the launch, the Astronauts (and a few support people) were the only ones with 3
miles of the launch site.
-There were
13 successful launches of the Saturn V rocket.
