INST 154: Apollo at 50
Spring 2020
Online Class Session 16
Must be Completed by Thursday April 2 at 6:15 PM

After completing the introductory video and the reading you can complete the other requirements in any order, but the recommended order is to first take the reading quiz, then watch the lecture video, and then contribute to the discussion board. You must complete all parts of this by 6:15 PM on the date listed for this class session in the schedule.

Intro Video

Watch this first! You can watch either one -- they are the same.

Readings

As has been the case all semester, each student is assigned one reading for every class. Sometimes the "reading" is actually a video. Your assigned reading is based on your student number at your table (if you do not know your student number, you can find it on the table roster on the ELMS home page). You must do this before doing anything else for this class session.

Reading Quiz

This is a one-question open book quiz. Answer the one question only for the reading (or video) that you were assigned (it will ask you to confirm that you don't wish to answer the other questions; say yes). You can only take this quiz once, and you must complete it within 15 minutes of starting it. You can only take this quiz once.

Lecture Video

This is a Panopto video of the lecture on this topic from Fall 2019 that you should watch. If you need to divert your attention, you should pause the video. Note that the lecture videos that were recorded in the classroom are recorded on only one of the two stereo channels, so they may be easier to listen to without a headset, or with the (windows) Ease of Use settings set to mono audio.

Discussion Questions

These are the two questions that you should contribute to answering on your table's discussion board [login required] (if you don't know your table number, see the list on our classes ELMS home page). The goal here is to contribute to the discussion, not just to offer your own answer, so craft your responses in the context of any answers that are already there. Indicate with the question number which parts of your contribution refer to each question. You may also more generally comment on the topic of the session if you like. Note that you will only get credit for original contributions that don't repeat (or simply agree or disagree) with comments previously posted on the same questions. If you have questions about any of the content of this session (e.g., the readings or the lecture) you can also include your questions to us on your table's discussion board and we'll answer them there during our regular class times (which is when we expect to be reading your discussion board posts). You can, of course, also send us email with any questions any time and we'll get back to you more quickly than we will to questions left on your discussion board.
Below here you will find other materials that you might find useful.

Additional Materials: Flight Crew Health Stabilization Program

The Apollo program was flown during a period of pandemic influenza that killed an estimated 1 million people worldwide, including about 100,000 in the US alone. As a result of infectious diseases involving Apollo 7, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13, NASA implemented a flight crew health stabilization program that resulted in quarantining the astronauts before their flights on the last four Apollo missions. You can read a journal article about the pandemic flu and about the flight crew health stabilization program at Chapter 6 of Biomedical Results of Apollo.

Additional Materials: Pre-Class Video

This is the video that we would have shown before class.

Additional Materials: Slides

These are the slides that were used in Fall 2019 (which are also shown within the Panopto viewer).
