Thanks for the update. Then it's LBJ we should blame for shutting down
Saturn. You may now print out a pic of LBJ at leisure and throw
however many darts at the man as you see fit.

Nixon bears about as much responsibility for the end of Apollo/Saturn as
Obama does for the end of shuttle. In both cases it was not a decision to
cancel the program; it was a choice not to reverse a predecessor's
decision. Which still means that both men "bought into" the decisions, in
my opinion.

You know, it just dawned on me. Of the 13 launches of the Saturn V, 10 of
them occurred under Nixon's watch.
