One of the guys (don't remember which one) in Mission Control was monitoring the descent fuel and altitude, and just KNEW that they were going to run out of fuel before touchdown.
What he didn't know is that Eagle was, at that moment, drifting over a crater, so the "altitude" was relative to the bottom of the crater, not the surface of the moon. As soon as the Eagle passed the the rim of the crater, the altitude was much more shallow than just a second before.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him. -

A friend of mine (now deceased) actually had one of the slide rules used by a member of the Mission Control team to double-check return trajectory. I would love to know what happened to it.Originally posted by Sparko View PostThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

And I thought I was nervous as a kid when I got on my first roller coaster..."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard RavenhillComment
