If you haven’t seen FOR ALL MANKIND, do yourself a favor.

Every time I have to fiddle with the carbs on my truck or motorcycle, I think how crazy it is that we went to the moon using technology from the ‘60s.

If anyone is ever in Houston, Huntsville, or Cape Canaveral, you need to go see their Apollo exhibits. TV and the internet are one thing, but when you can see everything in full scale at the same time, it’s much clearer. This was (and still is) one of the biggest and fastest technology leaps in the history of mankind and always will be.

( An a s t r o physicist told me once that the three most extraordinary feats of the 20th century had been the Manhattan Project, l a n d i n g o n t h e Moon and the transformation of p o s t w a r Japan from a theocratic state into a W e s t e r n - s t y l e democracy .

G r u m m a n h a d e normous problems with w e i g h t s o t h e a c t u a l “ w a l l s ” w e r e e x c e e d i ngly thin. W i r i n g i nsulation had to be “ optimised” - s o much so that a t some stage an interior lighting unit w o u l d a c t up e v e r y t i m e t h e r a d i o was being used .

The LM’s cabin was a l s o tiny. A t NASA t h e y joked that for Armstrong and Aldrin donning the EVA suits would be as c o m p l i c a t e d as it would be for two girls to try to dress up for a night out while inside a phonebox.

My father-in-law did an internship that involved him working on the Apollo project. I really want to learn more about it. Unfortunately, his other son-in-law is one of those weirdos that claims the moon landing was faked; so he doesn’t really talk about it.
