    They talked about everything, but the missing time on camera just before landing.

    NASA SP287 " WHAT MADE APOLLO A SUCCESS ??? " " of course , the way we got this job done was with meeting , big meetings , little meeting hundreds of meetings ! the thing we always tried to do in these meetings was to encourage every one , no matter how shy , to speak out " WHY MANY MEETING AND TRY DON'T SHY TO SAY SOMETHING IS ULTIMATE SECRET TO MADE APOLLO A SUCCESS ??? YOU CAN GO TO THE MOON WITH " MEETING AND DON'T SHY TO SAY SOMETHING ??? " 🤔🤔🤔
  • Was your Geology training adequate?" Excuse me while I roll around the floor laughing, now that's comedy.

    I know we landed on the moon cuz i heard it on the radio. Its real just like " war of the world" was!
  • @marsspacex6065
    The shuttle was an expensive technological dead end that nasa kept going far too long and these people were too optimistic as the Saturn 5 production was permanently shut down with a year or two of this interview. The focus should have been reusable and refuelling rockets that SpaceX is now developing with starship.
