If you look at any film‚ there’s a non-zero chance Clint Eastwood had a hand in it. Acting‚ directing – even musical compositions‚ he kept his portfolio very diverse. But before Eastwood established himself as one of the most influential forces in Hollywood‚ he very nearly died in a horrific plane crash in the name of love. Eastwood has been active in the industry since the ‘50s and went on to prove himself a Renaissance man with many talents in front of and behind the camera. In addition to acting‚ he’s also directed‚ produced‚ and even composed – and yes‚ that’s really him doing the horseback riding scenes in his films. But it was the time when Eastwood wasn’t in control that things nearly went horribly‚ fatally wrong. Clint Eastwood nearly died in a plane crash the same year he was drafted into the Army Before Clint Eastwood even began to launch his acting career‚ he nearly died in a plane crash / Everett Collection Before Eastwood’s Hollywood career took off in earnest‚ he was drafted into the U.S. Army in the 1950s‚ just at the start of the Korean War. This interrupted not hunts for an agent or touching base with casting directors‚ but rather Eastwood’s goal of attending Seattle University with an interest in music. RELATED: Clint Eastwood Wanted Revenge After Ralph Macchio Landed ‘Karate Kid’ Instead Of His Son Eastwood ended up stationed at Fort Ord in northern California‚ where he served as a lifeguard. During his time there‚ Eastwood ended up courting the daughter of one of the Fort Ord officers. He would make trips to visit her and it was because of this trek‚ Eastwood very nearly lost his life. Eastwood took a ride on a naval plane that was headed toward his destination because of these passionate trysts. “It was a naval torpedo bomber – there were no seats – and I had to squeeze into the radar compartment on the plane‚” Eastwood recalled. In short‚ the plane was not designed to run with passengers and the door ended up flying open. Eastwood found himself in the fight for his life to slam the door back shut and even victorious‚ lack of oxygen quickly sent him briefly into unconsciousness. When he came to‚ the sight he beheld was actually even worse than before.

The Douglas AD bomber crashed into the water near Point Reyes and both Eastwood and the pilot found themselves treading water. They had survived – but they weren’t done fighting for their lives. An exhausting two mile swim awaited them and the experience would haunt Eastwood for some time. “I don’t recall how long it took to get out‚” he admitted‚ “but as I’ve said‚ it was an ordeal I never want to repeat. I collapsed on the beach.” He went on to act‚ direct‚ and even compose / © Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection That was the closest Eastwood got to a life-threatening scenario while drafted. “He always dropped the Korean War reference‚ hoping everyone would conclude that he was in combat and might be some sort of hero‚” said Eastwood’s former longtime companion Sondra Locke. Eastwood’s high school friend‚ Don Loomis‚ theorized that the Fort Ord officer whose daughter Eastwood was dating might have been inclined to look out for him when names came up for postings. Ultimately‚ Eastwood was discharged in February 1953‚ remarkably with quite the action-filled story to tell of his enlistment.

In a recent announcement‚ the Chinese Space Agency (CSA) unveiled the names for its forthcoming lunar mission components. The CSA have been working towards sending humans to the Moon through a series of robotic missions. The 22-tonne capsule that is taking the astronauts to the Moon is called Mengzhuo (translates to ‘dream vessel’) and the lander has been named Lanyue (meaning ‘embracing the Moon’). Assuming all goes to plan‚ they will send two humans and a rover to the surface of the Moon by 2030. Despite the fact that the CSA have not published a date for the mission yet‚ if all goes well then they will become the second country to get humans to the lunar surface. The capsules will launch to the Moon atop their new super-heavy-lift carrier rocket named Long March 10. According to Chinese state media‚ the Mengzhou spacecraft will include the re-entry module designed to house the astronauts and will also function as a control centre. In addition to this‚ there will be the service module that is home to power and propulsion systems.  Overall‚ Mengzhou will be 9 metres long and weigh in at 22 tons.  In an attempt to get the public involved in the mission‚ the names of the craft were picked by a group of experts from nearly 2‚000 ideas put forward by the public. The names have history too. ‘Lanyue’ first appeared in a poem written by Mao Zedong (the founder of People’s Republic of China) in 1965. It symbolises the Chinese aspirations and confidences in their exploration of the Universe. The name ‘Mengzhou’ is linked to the Chinese nations dream of landing on the Moon.  That same dream is shared by President Xi Jinping with the goal of revitalising the nation and establishing itself as a prominent technological country. The aspirations for lunar exploration are on par with many other countries that wish to enhance their space capability.  Doing so may yield scientific discoveries‚ national prestige and opportunities for identifying resource supplies to facilitate deeper space exploration.  This all comes when the United States are also gearing up with their Lunar hopes‚ in particular trying to get humans to the Moon in 2026 as part of the Artemis program. If successful then it will mean NASA will have got back to the Moon over 50 years after their first visit. The Chinese mission comes after a successful series of unmanned lunar probes‚ the Chang’e missions which‚ in 2019 became the first to achieve a landing on the far side of the Moon. The series hasn’t stopped there though. Chang’e 6 is scheduled to launch later this year and aims to retrieve the first ever samples from the far side of the Moon.
