You can take that to the bank!

How many of us watched the lunar landing on Apollo 11?
It was a very hot evening in July of 69. Walnut Creek CA. I was sitting with my family watching every minute of the broadcast. I was 12.

Small world. My cousin, an aeronautical engineer (deceased) was on the design team for the Apollo ablative heat shield. He had interesting stories to tell when I was a young man.

One of many mysteries. How did they determine the rate of ablation? You have men in that capsule, going much faster than any previous project.
The challenges were many and untested for the most part. I know engineers solve problems for a living but these were unique indeed.
I bet you heard some interesting stories.
