And checkout, of which i was the capcom, we just sort of moved over to apollo 11 for that same phase. And the only additional thing was going to be the landing. Apollo 10 went through the descent, didnt land. Came back up, aborted. Then rendezvoused. Well, were gonna do the whole thing. And so ive got to give Mission Control credit during this descent. And all of the troubles and problems that they had on apollo 11 on the descent. Mission control actually saved the day on just about every mission. Those 1201, 1202 warnings that could have aborted . Not really. We thought so. I thought so. This was abort. Oh no, computers frozen up or something, so it was a computer overload alarm that i didnt recognize. But the gnn guys did. And they said were going, that alarm. The apollo computer had a set compute cycle. And it cued up the jobs.

We have a guy right here. High, charles. Just a question on your take on the potential benefits that humankind can get out of exploring the moon . Where do we stand with our progress . Are we still in the analysis phase . To good questions. I think a lot of the benefit and space is twofold from the moon flights. Apollo was the basic science that we generated through six different experiment packages. We left of the orbital experiments that we did. The other was the technological benefits that were done to make apollo possible and the space program. I had just gotten back from the hundredth anniversary of the department of the m. I. T.
