from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains

With a general overview of the Apollo program complete, and with Apollo 1-6 covered, it's time to get to some real action. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission. It took Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele, and Walter Cunningham up into Low Earth Orbit for a 10-day shakedown cruise, where they tested many features of the spacecraft. While the mission was a great success, a bit of drama did ensue, so let's learn all about it!Script by Jackson TylerWatch the whole Apollo Program playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveApolloClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2Astronomy/Astrophysics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveAstronomyMathematics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathsEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn
