Nothing in the Apollo program was done by boomers. Boomers like to take credit for the moon landings, but the work was done by the WWII generation. Boomers can take credit for the space program since about 1985.
What a crock.
I agree with you in principle. I was 23 yr old and in graduate school in 1969. Hadn't paid any taxes to speak of. My dad worked on life systems for Apollo. So, I can't take any credit for the space program to the moon.
As for the space program after 1985, not sure I want any credit, thanks.
Not entirely true. Apollo was from early '60s to early '70s, IIRC. My participation began at NASA-MSC (now JSC) in '66. I worked in Mission Planning and Analysis Division, Flight Control Division and Flight Support Division, all housed in the administrative side of Mission Control Center. Some of the folks I worked with were my parents' age (Greatest Generation), and there were some Boomers, of course. But I'd say the largest segment of them were between my parents' age and my age. Of course, as more Boomers entered the work force, their numbers grew at NASA as well.
