A United States nuclear test conducted on the Bikini Atoll, likely the Cherokee test (the first conducted by the US of an air-dropped thermonuclear weapon). Condensation cloud forms after the detonation of the thermonuclear bomb. The skies become bright upon detonation explosion, before turning into dark. A photographer uses a camera to capture nuclear bomb detonation from an aircraft. View of the Pacific Ocean. Skies over the Pacific Ocean changes from apparently sunny to dark. A large Wilson cloud formation partially obscured by dark clouds. Two men watch the nuclear test detonation from a ship. Bright light obscures clouds after bomb detonation. The skies become darker, with the Wilson cloud becoming more prominent.
NASA astronauts perform a lunar module rehearsal months before the planned Apollo 11 mission (held in July 16-24, 1969). Apollo 11 rehearsal was held at the Kennedy Space Center. An astronaut (Neil Armstrong) demonstrates how to walk on the moon after landing in front of scientists watching the rehearsal. The Apollo Lunar Module “Eagle” (LM-5) is near the astronaut. Astronaut walking sideways, holding on to a harness. Harness is attached on the lunar module. A camera device is being transported to the astronaut using the harness. The astronaut attaches camera in front of his suit. The flag of the United States is seen on his backpack (Primary Life Support Subsystem). The Primary Life Support Subsystem has a tag “CDR” (Commander). Lunar Module has the words “United States” and the United States flag.
