Miles an hour. President richard nixon, who had talked with the astronauts by telephone while they were on the moon, was waiting aboard the recovery carrier to welcome the returning voyagers. Kfin the president later expressed the nations response to this historic mission. Some way when those two americans stepped on the moon, the people of this world were brought closer together. That it is that spirit, the spirit of apollo, that america can now help to bring to our relations with other nations. The spirit of apollo transcends geographical barriers and political differences. It can bring the people of the world together in peace. To protect against any possible lunar contamination the astronauts put on airtight special garments before coming on board the rescue ship. They transferred directly from the helicopter to a mobile quarantine van in which they would be flown back to the manned Aircraft Center in houston, texas. July 27th, the journey was ended.

Walls for each blast. Suspended on ropes, they drilled holes in the rock and loaded them with dynamite. After each explosion these daredevils swarmed over the cliffs, prying loose rock and clearing the walls of debris. In november 1932, the Colorado River was diverted. Under control for the first time in its history, the river flowed around and past the site. Men in trucks dumped earthen rock embankment across the canyon below the openings forcing the river from its age old bed through the huge diversion tubes. A second earth and rock dam was thrown across the tunnel downstream keeping water from backing into the foundation area. Isolated and protected from the river by the two copper dams, the site was pumped dry. Men and machines dug 135 feet below the old river level to reach bedrock for the dams foundation, excavating over 2 million yards of rock and sand. As clean up of the dam site exposed the ancient bed of the Colorado River, geologists read the history of what happened ages ag

A train passing through one of the 30foot sections reveals their comparative size. When they were ready to receive the pen stock a specially designed trailer hauled them down to the dam site. At the can yom rim a 150 ton cable way relieved the trailer of its burdens, swung the pipe sections out over the gorge and lowered them under absolute control. Trailers waiting at portals of the access tunnels carried the home their permanent connections inside the main tunnels. The pipe sections were hoisted into location with cables, and joined end to end pressure pins to form continuous conduits between the intake towers, turbines and outlet valves. A continuous stream of concrete had been pouring into the dam forms. The structure near its full height of 726 feet, far above the crest of any other dam yet built by man. On may 29th, 1935, two years a
