The whole program seems to be a repeat of what we have already done just to prove diversity. Whatever happens, the brilliance and competence of the Apollo program(Mercury and Gemini(included) will never be matched. I will pray for them that there are still people there led by God. That whole program had God’s protection.
Probably the last thing our government did that was worthwhile, successful and somewhat bipartisan. I’m reading Rocket Men now and the Apollo 8 book-my favorite mission. I even listen to the whole mission on youtube just to take a break form the insane demonic world now in which we live. Simpler times.
Frank Borman and Jim Lovell are still alive -mid 90s. Great men. My Dad’s old boss at Eastern Air Lines was Frank Borman,not the greatest CEO but the right man at the right time for America. Dad met him a few times.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Are you familiar with the Apollo in real time website?
It is the 11, 13 and 17 missions all archived mission control chatter pictures and video combined for the entire missions from launch to splashdown.
Those were amazing times. My dad worked for McDonnell, but not on the space capsules, and we followed the missions. One of my early memories is of watching Mercury launches with a friend and drawing pictures of the rockets.
