“An annotated portrayal of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon with captions to explain the various stages of the descent.”

Ref-WCCO. I’ve never been able to track down the show after it’s broadcast. Pratt on Texas occasionally makes them available. (and for that Mr. Pratt, I am grateful!)

Say– Great handle!

“The computer used on the LM had a storage capacity of only 64KBs and the processor a speed of 4.7MHz.”

Sounds like a great topic.

Tell ya what, > I < go red with rage then pale with nausea at the thought of my tax dollars being pissed away on SLS

Falcon Heavy has nearly caused SLS to be deemed obsolete; being fully functional and in service versus SLS being a scattered collection of disassembled parts.

Now SpaceX has Super Heavy rapidly approaching actual assembly and testing — another giant leap. Imagine a potential flight around the moon with this reusable system before a single SLS is even assembled. The thought must cause Shelby to first go red with rage and then pale with nausea.
