[SBE] A very interesting fact behind the Apollo Mission to the Moon

[Curt Yengst]

Great stuff.  It should also be noted that the Lunar Module's computer actually "crashed" right before landing.

Subject: [SBE] A very interesting fact behind the Apollo Mission to the Moon



On this, the 40th anniversary of man setting foot on the moon, I
thought perhaps it was worth a moment to recall how close the whole
thing came to being cancelled - not by something happening at the
launch site or in Houston, but by a telcomm issue on another continent.

The real story is located on the War Stories page at oldradio.com:

I hope you will find Don Kimberlin's story of interest, especially today.
