And people here want us to go back to the moon and on to Mars? With the
attitude reflected in some of the posts above you'd never know men have
already piloted the Command/Service Module and performed spacewalks on the
way back from the moon. It is amazing what a crew can do when there is
only room for three.

Apollo was substantially less complex than STS, sadly. The CMP spacewalks
were straightforward (go out, climb along the SM, get the film canisters and
such, come back in).

Not to mention that you had two people who'd had good solid EVA
practical experience that week standing behind you, should something go
wrong, and no distractions around you except the perpetual danger of
gazing out going "ooooh..."

As far as the lunar EVAs, ISTR lots of little fubars made by pooped astros.
Nothing life-threatening as it turned out, but still lots of little
slip-ups.

Some of which were quite significant - the Apollo (15?) ALSEP breakages,
or the A12 camera, but I don't know if any of these were due to
tiredness.
