In your book, you talk about one of the episodes on one of the lunar landings where the camera didnt work and there was virtually sort of a coverup because they didnt want to show that. I wonder if you could go into that. One of the most exciting things, of course, about walking on the moon, being on the moon for the guys and everybody watching back at home, that was what was so incredible about the Apollo Program. Even for someone like me who is one of the wives once asked me when i went to interview her, where were you when we landed on the moon . How old were you . I said jo, i think i was moon dust.
