Space Program | JFK Library
Posted: at 9:27 am
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy began a dramatic expansion of the U.S. space program and committed the nation to the ambitious goal of landing a man on the Moon by the end of the decade.
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the satelliteSputnik,and the space race was on. The Soviets' triumph jarred the American people and sparked a vigorous response in the federal government to make sure the United States did not fall behind its Communist rival.
A new space program, Project Mercury, was initiated two years later, during President Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration. Seven men were selected to take part in the program: Scott Carpenter, Leroy Gordon Cooper, John Glenn Jr., Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Walter Schirra Jr., Alan Shepard Jr., and Donald "Deke" Slayton. Project Mercury's goals were to orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth, investigate the ability of astronauts to function in space, and recover astronauts and spacecraft safely.
Then, in 1961, the nation suffered another shock when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to orbit the Earth. The United States, it seemed, was still falling behind.
President Kennedy understood the need to restore America's confidence and intended not merely to match the Soviets, but surpass them. On May 25, 1961, he stood before Congress to deliver a special message on "urgent national needs." He asked for an additional $7 billion to $9 billion over the next five years for the space program, proclaiming that "this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth." President Kennedy settled upon this dramatic goal as a means of focusing and mobilizing the nation's lagging space efforts.
Skeptics questioned the ability of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to meet the president's timetable. Within a year, however, Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom became the first two Americans to travel into space.
On February 20, 1962, John Glenn Jr. became the first American to orbit Earth. Launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, theFriendship 7capsule carrying Glenn reached a maximum altitude of 162 miles and an orbital velocity of 17,500 miles per hour. After more than four hours in space, having circled the earth three times, Glenn piloted the Friendship 7 back into the atmosphere and landed in the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda.
Glenn's success helped inspire the great army of people working to reach the Moon. Medical researchers, engineers, test pilots, machinists, factory workers, businessmen, and industrialists from across the country worked together to achieve this goal. By May 1963, astronauts Scott Carpenter, Walter Schirra Jr., and L. Gordon Cooper had also orbited Earth. Each mission lasted longer than the one before and gathered more data.
As space exploration continued through the 1960s, the United States was on its way to the Moon. Project Gemini was the second NASA spaceflight program. Its goals were to perfect the entry and re-entry maneuvers of a spacecraft and conduct further tests on how individuals are affected by long periods of space travel.The Apollo Program followed Project Gemini. Its goal was to land humans on the Moon and assure their safe return to Earth. On July 20, 1969, theApollo 11astronautsNeil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr.realized President Kennedy's dream.

Ancient mummified child was drugged with psychedelics before ritual …
Posted: at 9:20 am
AN ANCIENT Peruvian civilization drugged children with psychedelics before sacrificing them in a religious ritual to their Gods, scientists now claim.
New research shows the Nazca societydrugged at least one young child with the hallucinogenic San Pedro Cactus before their death.

The research, to be released in the December 2022 issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science, centered on the remains of 22 individuals found in the Yauca Valley, Cahuachi, and Estaqueria in Peru known Nazca ruins sites.
Out of the samples, only eleven dated to the Early Nazca Period, including two individuals who tested positive for psychoactive substances" - a female and a child.
This was discovered through testing hair found on the female and child's trophy heads.
Specifically, the child tested positive for a high level of mescaline a hallucinogen brought on by the high consumption of the San Pedro Cactus.
Meanwhile, scientists determined that the female had chewed coca leaves before she died.
This research is purportedly the first proof that some trophy head victims were drugged before their death.
"The trophy head is the first case of the consumption of San Pedro by an individual living on the southern Peruvian coast," lead author Dagmara Socha told Live Science.
"It's also the first evidence that some of the victims who were made into trophy heads were given stimulants before they died."
The study's authors described the female and adolescent trophy heads as rare as the majority found belonged to adult males.
The results of the study support the idea that some of the trophy heads dated to the Early Nazca Period could have been obtained from ritually sacrificed victims, rather than during warfare, the study reads.
The study also tested the hair of two male trophy heads both of which lacked any drug compounds.
They suggest that this could indicate different social origins of the victims or other simple factors like hair structure or preservation.
"We actually don't know how often these [plants] were being used," Socha said.
"In the case of San Pedro, it's not well preserved in an archaeological context, and in the case of the coca leaves and Banisteriopsis caapi, they were never found to be growing in this region during that time period."
While the findings are groundbreaking, the study's authors also recommend further analysis of their research saying it may shed new light on the interpretation and evolution of ritual headhunting in pre-Columbian Peru through the ages.
