Sigh.
1/ The 10¢ airmail stamp honoring the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, was issued on Sept. 9, 1969. No other person has been honored on more United States stamps during his lifetime than Neil Armstrong.
2/ By the time the capsule had reached the lower atmosphere, it had slowed to about 320 Mph, at which point they deployed the first parachute. The first “drogue” chutes were deployed at about 25,000 feet altitude. The main chutes would have been deployed at about 10,000 feet. The capsule had significantly cooled by then. The heat shield was ablative and the shell of the command module lost heat very quickly during its descent through very cold air in the stratosphere. Metal loses its hear rapidly after spending several minutes in a moving airstream that might be as cold as -80 degrees F.
3/ Because no government since has been prepared to sanction the huge budget required to place man on the moon. After years of drip-fed piecemeal funding from congress, we now have Project Artemis which pledges to return man to the moon this decade. There has been no supersonic passenger service since the cancellation of Concorde in 2003 almost two decades ago due to the expense and the fact it was unsustainable. It may be the same time or more until this is resumed. That does not mean that the technology has not progressed.
4/ Actually, to date, at least 47 NASA rocket bodies have crashed into the moon. None of these impacts suggest that the moon is 'hollow'. Following the planned impact of Apollo 13's S-IVB the moon was reported to "ring like a bell". This is because it’s much drier than Earth. Water weakens stone, almost acting like a sponge and deadening vibrations. When there’s an earthquake, the vibrations end quickly in comparison to bodies that are drier and more rigid—like the moon. therefore the seismic waves caused by the impact resonated and reverberated.
