About

When we glance at our wrists to find out the time, we don't even think about the effort and ingenuity that has made it a possibility. From the earliest beginnings with stone circles and sundials, through water dripping and lowering the level in a marked off bowl, to graduated candles that (hopefully!) burned evenly and finally pendulum-driven trickery. And then came the drive from the shipping navigators to be able to accurately tell the time at sea, pendulums being no good in a pitching ship! The huge prize money put up for the first mechanism to solve this drove the invention of the spring-driven clockwork mechanisms still used even in today's world of quartz crystals and electrickery!

Apollo 13 NASA Mission Patch Logo Watch


Ad: Apollo 13 NASA Mission Patch Logo Watch

Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the NASA Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11 1970 at 13:13 CST from the Kennedy Space Center Florida but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later. The Apollo 13 emblem shows three horses that represent Apollo the sun god of Greek mythology. The Latin phrase Ex Luna Scientia means "From the Moon Knowledge." mySpaceWatch
