  • Your girlfriend tells you she's knocked up -- have her try SCE to Aux.

  • And then John Aaron was known as a STEELY EYED MISSLE MAN. Just like Chris Kraft, Gene Kranz, and Whernher Von Braun. Epic.

  • @PeterExify Yes.

  • is this vid true

  • @twinturbonissan300zx,

    Fortunately, the experts in launch control knew just a little bit more than you think you do. The weather wasn't deemed too close to the launch window. You have to look at the big picture. There are excellent books available on the Apollo program. I recommend "A Man on the Moon" (Chaikin).

  • @twinturbonissan300zx Because the moon needs to be in the right place as well as the Earth's rotation.

  • These genius's let a rocket launch when their is weather in the upper atmosphere? They should never do that, even if their is only 1% chance of lightning hitting a craft at launch. I mean, why didn't they launch on a clear night with no storms or winds?
