David H, Teah A, Joe H - Astronauts and Astronomers




The most interesting piece of information that we found was that Buzz Aldrin is also a rapper along with an astraunaut. James Lovell was a part of Apollo 13 and came back becuase the oxygen tank eruptured and they were de-hydrated.
Our research process was that we found out some people on some missions that we knew, then we researched the other people in that same mission. Also we researched people that we already knew about but then found out more that we never knew about.\

  1. I like the info. I did not know who created the theory or just did not remember who thought of the earth revolving around the sun.

  2. It was very interesting to learn about when the astronauts were born. I
    was wondering which Apollo or other missions those astronauts were part
    of.

  3. I thought it was good but it was kind of hard to actually complete the questions for the astronomy webquest because there wasnt information on how they changed the space program. So a little more information and it would be good. ALSO was Buzz Aldrin on the same space ship on Neil Armstrong?

  7. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were both on the Apollo 11. Also Neil Armstrong was in Germini 8. Then Buzz Aldrin was in Germini 12. John Glenn was on Friendship 7 that orbited the earth 3 times. James Lovell's mission are on the presentation.

  8. wow. I never knew that there were that many astronauts that were involved in space either. I thought it was cool that Buzz Aldrin actually hated homework and ended up becoming extremely succesful.Therefor I don't think we should ever ever get homework :)

  10. I really enjoyed looking through this because it gave a lot of information about every person. What did John Herschel Glenn Jr. do as an astronaut? What was he a famous astronaut for? Otherwise, great video.

  16. I didn't know that there were so many people that were able to individually, or together, help the space program advance in so many ways. Interesting how Edwin Aldrin hated homework and would've have rather done football, and he ended up being one of the people that changed space. He could've been a football player!! Good information, guys. :)
