"His last career was as a spokesman for NASA during the historic 1970 Apollo moon
missions."

But there was only one in 1970. Was this supposed to read "the historic 1970's
Apollo moon missions"? Even that's odd, unless it just means he didn't start the
job until 1970.

I was surprised to read that the Blue Angels disbanded to go fight in Korea. Makes
sense, of course, as they were hand-picked top pilots. But the policy changed with
Vietnam- at least I'm pretty certain I saw the Blue Angels perform several times
during the war. Was it decided their PR and recruiting role was more valuable than
what they could do in actual combat?
