 Boeing Celebrates the 30th Anniversay of Apollo 11 - Factoids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
When the Apollo spacecraft passed through the Van Allen belts on its way to the moon, the astronauts were exposed to radiation roughly equivalent to that of a dental X-ray.
When the Apollo spacecraft reentered the atmosphere it generated energy equivalent to approximately 86,000 kilowatt hours of electricity - enough to light the city of Los Angeles for about 104 seconds; or the energy generated would lift all the people in the USA 10-3/4 inches off the ground.
The Apollo command module can sustain a hole as large as 1/4 inch in diameter and still maintain the pressure inside for 15 minutes, which is considered long enough for an astronaut to put on a spacesuit.

Three Rivers VW looked at it, turned up the music, probably danced around a little, and then declared that it works fine.
The car is starting up really rough when cold (tach is jumping around, crazy sounds are coming from the engine), blue smoke is billowing out of the tailpipe, I have lost power on hills, and my mileage is down by 2 or 3 mpg.

 Q/A: Apollo "hoax"?
I watched a sitcom in which someone was ridiculed for thinking that the Apollo program and man on the moon stuff were all major scale hoaxes, in the same vein as 'Elvis is still alive'.

 Amazon.com: Vaughan Williams: The Nine Symphonies: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Only in the 4th Symphony does VW really open himself to a more contrapuntal and dissonant style, and the consequence is that the composition becomes quite reminiscent of Prokofiev or Schostakovich, the two other great Symphonists of the time.
Perhaps it is that VW was resistant to change in his basic musical outlook, but by the 1950's, the diatonic/pentatonic ideas he frequented had become increasingly irrelevant.
That VW was brilliant and a master craftsman is unquestionable, but he seemed to need new fuel for his compositional fires and was unwilling to consider the atonality of Schoenberg and his followers, the rhythmic vitality of Stravinsky and Bartok, or even the orchestral colours and dramatic juxtapositions of Gustav Mahler.
