ABSTRACT
This
correspondence reviews the physical effects upon the arrival on earth of the
Apollo 11 crew from the eight day space travel to the moon and back. Various
biological responses including adaptation from microgravity to gravity are
known to include symptoms of impaired gait, imbalance and dizziness from
transient orthostatic hypotension.
On July 24th 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts stood up without assistance walked normally and showed no apparent signs of physical or psychological distress. NASA reports of the Apollo missions to the moon and the scientific knowledge of biological effects of microgravity to astronaut health seem to be incompatible. It seems reasonable for NASA to provide a scientifically valid account of the Apollo moon missions before future manned missions to the moon and beyond.
