This sounds awful honestly #shorts #history

Have you ever wondered how astronauts slept on the moon where there's no night and no proper bed? Because it sounds awful. Every Apollo mission was obviously scheduled around landing. The crew had to be awake and rested at the time they were landing on the moon, which meant that their sleep periods were all pinned to this one event. On Apollo 11, one of the biggest concerns was that the astronauts not inhale the moon dust that they would bring in attached to their suit. So, they had the astronauts sleep in their full pressure suits with everything buttoned up, sealed away, and it was awful. They said that it was cold, even with their cooling system turned off, and there was noise from the cabin. Things got a little bit better on Apollo 12. This was the first mission that used hammocks, effectively hanging the astronauts in an X position inside the spacecraft. Apollo 14 had effectively the same problems as Apollo 12, but they also landed at an angle, which meant that Al Shepard and Ed Mitchell were waking up constantly throughout the night to make sure they weren't falling into a ditch. Apollo 15 was the first crew to actually take off their bulky space suits to sleep, which meant that they were still wearing this liquid cooled undergarment, which was pretty uncomfortable to sleep in. Plus, the cabin was still really loud. They didn't sleep great. On Apollo 16, Commander John Young decided to take his liquid cooled garment off too and just sleep in his continuous wear garment, which is kind of like long underwear. And he said that was way more comfortable, which is what the crew of Apollo 17 did, and had the best luck sleeping on the moon. Across the board, though, every crew said the biggest issue was light. They landed during the lunar day, which lasts for 2 weeks. There was no sunset on the moon, so they had these little shades, but light kept seeping in. At the end of the day, no one slept well on the moon, which meant they probably had a ton of energy out there because of adrenaline and excitement.
