        That's right, 48 years ago we had Woodstock, ARPANET, Boeing 747 and the Concorde. Oh, and that moon thing, too. 1969 was quite a year!

        Tense time for a small group of brilliant men, on an open line w/ Houston, who designed the rocket engines that made the mission possible.

        Fuel used was so corrosive that rockets could only be fired once & the specific ones used were untested. While confident, they were nervous.
